the change is all around the shape, my technology and human ingenuity. we can make it work for you and your bill. ah, i'm how am i? he didn't don't have the headlines and al jazeera, the un security council has been born. that of galveston is heading for catastrophe . the united nations and voice as the conflicts isn't as a deadlier was struck to phase of the taliban sees the provincial capital of the rooms. it's the 1st city to fall to the group since the us began pulling at the last of its forces at ghana, stan is now at a dangerous turning point. ahead lies either a genuine piece,

negotiation or a tragically intertwined set of crises and increasingly brutal conflict. combined with an acute humanitarian situation and multiplying human rights abuses, i do believe that the security council and the broader international community can help prevent the most dire scenarios. but it will require acting in unity and acting quickly. several countries ascending aircraft and foreign vices to help grease battle dozens of uncontrolled walled, far as still burning across the country. a major blaze, just north of athens, was forced functions to flee. the fire is moving towards lake marathon. the capitals main water reservoir in neighboring turkey. tens of thousands of hector as a forest have been destroyed and wild, far as described as the worst. in decades,

drone footage showed scores, lands and chart holes in the southern province of milgar. at least 36000 people. there have been evacuated. a huge while far in northern california has become the 3rd largest in the states. history. emergency crews are trying to stop the place reaching forest tons. the so called dixie far has already destroyed much of the historic type of greenville. nicaragua is electro tribunal, has disqualified the main opposition policy and taking part in november the presidential election citizens for freedom is accused of violating election laws. is the latest move in a crack then on the opposition by the government of president, daniel ortega, he set to run virtually unopposed as he seeks a 4th consecutive term. i'm not up to date snow, it's back to once upon a time in punishable town,

the untold story i speak when others don't ah, we cover all sign ah, no matter where it takes a police fan here guys are my empowering in pasha. we tell your story, we are your voice, your new, your net. out here. i, 3 months after the riot, a new bond between wider and arab australia 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 way

which is what about we train some muslims in becoming lifesavers. so not only do they see what being a lot, cyber is about. but they also can give an opportunity for 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, make a law 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 caney day putting on the

very 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 the make. i did the training logs on the 17th and we had many injuries. someone broke on some of my injuries included a fractured noise 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 wind, zeus kids graduated as a weird. i truly, as you call knowledge i, when the 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 lifesavers make their point. i wanted to be able to put out there that muslims and muslim women in particular as well just as already with anyone else. and i hope that having achieved that,

that that message somehow resonated with every one. 0, this 3 years later, make a law joins jamal, had southwest in the labor in pe, jason, claire and the future minister, the immigration, scott morrison on a journey to the very heart of what it is to be a strain in today the code attract. jason was to bring kids muslim kids and scott was to bring lifesavers from the show area. you called the my cheap trick because it could show that people from different sides can be made. so everything about my chip. everything that what kind of was about stood for that sense of sacrifice that's into belonging. we want to take them, we could coda and go through that experience once you in

conditions like that, you know, working through the mud in a rain forest, it's quite easy to, to look beyond physical appearance for a lot of people didn't say, mean, you know, as they go that way. gosh, and i didn't see that person as just a life. say, well you couldn't say that one person was more extra alien than the other when we stood at anzac day at the issue of i'm immortal. and let me tell you one thing. all over differences melted into one. we were old one. we were old or sad. ah, and there is one other breach being built. the police have been working and

improving their relation with the community. the colonel a riot is a cash list 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 the sidney area. we established a consultative committee for the commissioner, which is populated by a really diverse range of representatives of ethnic communities. we also have now a high drawn coordinated position and it's 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 names are striking gains wanted later they don't experience and evident 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 well says made a decision which many other states have refused to mike 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 eastern people that did not help middle east and crime squad. i can understand it if it was in the middle east. i just can't understand detrimental logy,

and submit. never be unhappy. we'll start to win. 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 that feel that's a good thing. then others also feel that it's a bad thing and that it tarnishes everyone for me, at 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 nations respectful and loyalty to lebanese astray. leon is made clear when israel launch has air attacks on parts of lebanon in its war against his been the howard government evacuate over 5000 strain and didn't

to his credit. john howard and difficult circumstances evacuated these citizens in no way that was very difficult, very costly. ah, but humanely. and since deeply done, i have no doubt. there was the victor way she was conducted in my doest field, that we are no longer australian of 2nd class citizens. we are rarely as anyone else. and there is another event which is destined to change the fortunes of many in south west did need lebanese a trailing community. it is now 5 month since she had deep walk through the door. the punch bowl boys high. oh, never forget the dice. 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? why am i jumping out of a for payment into the fire? when i walked in 2006, i felt that the boys, it's up for a long period of time. as a school was struggling numbers, numbers were dwindling. there was, there were threats of closure. they were, they were the things that just weren't going well at the school and, and every diet seems to just learn from problem to problem to problem in the late 900 ninety's, the school was just 10 minutes away from one of sidney's most notorious drug dealing areas, hello p histories. once again, dozens of fully swept on 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 is you can't control what's going on outside of the school. the school becomes a built in part of its local community and you've got something like to be

a street which keeps coming up in the news when the school has got the title. that's the same name as this other kids getting that negative media attention. it does have a massive effect on the school. you got up and they didn't want, did represent i generation of young professionals who decide they want to give back to the community and build it. that emergence, not just of dia, 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 think, and i just was there was a sense of helplessness amongst the students. we had great teachers and had been trying really hard. but there was, there was, there was like a feeling that they've been a give us 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, you didn't want to teach a punch for boys me. the students in that way they belong to talking about not only in the school, but the water pot aside and 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. you had has been appointed principal. and over the next 2 years, student number is increased by around 17 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 in

new 7 on a phone, go to the school, didn't look anything at all. you know, i just didn't want to be there. i spent most of my time in the toilet swanky, was lacking digging school. i thought of school, my friends used to get up to a lot of things. i sang out of a little bad people. lease, thank little drive and it doesn't take him long before he's in trouble with the principal always used to give it so we used to be in schools always gets them the and i said this one to modify what i thought the front of all the teachers students, parents, parents were getting scared, and i fight of the kid safety dental straight away. i met you guys didn't even know g suspensions mount. when he turned 15, he's taken aside by jer, had did yesterday told me and my school martin on because i feel this girl for to

a trade. you know, say, philips have goes us by he is, he's going to be waiting for him. now he is now 2 years into a plumbing apprenticeship and the influence of his old headmaster is still strong. i think mister the building is similar together because now the start of my own construction fund company and i take on the construction side, i have a lot of students from l areas and i take a more give them the partnerships in a get a moving so that on the, on the streets and it's coming back for us for what they value to me. me, you can't describe how good it feels to be able to make someone's life better and to be able to make them or 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 driver and i get you to try them. we save kids and we get kids on the right track. and we get kids to become successful. and now what is to make a difference no matter what? at any cost, ah, today, punchbowl boys high continues to record $10.00 of the nation highest growth rates in literacy. and numeracy are so many lebanese is trailing families. the school is more than a source of pride. it's clear and effective proof that their children a less likely to be lost to the straight. it isn't long before the community finds itself once again in the negative media. ah,

the court heard that the men had stopped 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 was 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 wrath and that it wasn't right. and that they

needed to do something about it. unless we've engaged with the community and have the support, they will probably never succeed. it's after was when they confidence to build that credibility with them to build rapport with them in a time of non crisis. he cannot gather these communities off to 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 spark the furious wave of anti american protests across the the, in the, in a few days later, it arrives on sydney's doorstep. when 200 people demonstrate outside the u. s.

consulate through afternoon c, b meetings. you can simply read the message and say that, you know, this is the freedom of expression. it's quite significant. very, very small proportion of these. lemme community paid any attention to the purchase . and i think one of the reason that the case could be learned from cornell law, that we can always be so emotional and irrational when, when dealing with things like that, they march down to hyde park and 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. me has been shut down with hundreds of angry muslim protesters, the cd. the yes we do

love the process, but that's not the way you defend property 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 tell me the 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 disgraced on this. so that in itself shows how far we've also come seems cornell,

lebanese australian muslim leaders break ranks with their counterparts around the world. openly criticizing their own community over the past several days. high profile was 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 while that exercise is the strength. so it's not easy for community leaders to criticize someone's around. and it hasn't happened too often that certainly on this occasion, they were unequivocal of a 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 city i was very proud of the way or community handle itself. i was very proud of bead. we mobilized

over the community effort to diffuse a situation and to send the messages in a different forces, but same message. and that message was, violence will not be tolerated. not now, not ever the liberty, the strain 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 have emerged stronger than i am really proud to be part of this community. please. so to zillion that has to vibed 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 everything that has been thrown off 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 astronomy and living in a big city, the people of southwick sydney 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. ah, there's a great sense of hope and out of everything comes great and the

community live in a community, the whatever community a 1st of all my story strength. when i have a seat, i put as much a droll and so i came into my all the x and i ever do it. i. ready know my parents back and they never met the right decision with us and we never came here for anything other than to have a gets a lot more 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 allow the 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 just sit at sometimes it's a little bit, reminds me of the castle at the very end, where mister kerrigan sits at their back. you know what he's patio and he just sits back and he's just happy. and it's my parents back and i got somebody good
