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 witnessed 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 wear the 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 to make the the trainings logs and other 17 and we had many injuries. someone broke the arm, some of my injuries included

a fractured nurse. a wave had carmen had lifted the board and so it had mcmay, right. in the faith. 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 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 everyone. oh, this 3 years later make a law joins jamal. had southwest in the labor in pay, jason clare and the future minute of the immigration. scott morrison on a journey to the very heart of what it is to be a strain in today to co, to track the jason was to bring kids muslim kids.

and scott was to bring lifesavers from the shore area code of 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 the sense of sacrifice that's into belonging. we want to take them through tacoma and go through that experience once you in conditions like that, you know, working through the mud, you know, 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 as they go that way, the gosh, and i didn't see that person as just a life say, well you couldn't say that one person was more astray in 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 relationship with the community. that 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 the sidney area. we established a consultative committee for the commissioner, which is populated by a really verse 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. the biggest names are strike, post gains wanted later they 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 well, so i 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 eastern people that did not help the middle east and crime squad. i can understand it if it was in the middle east. i just can't understand detrimental logy, and said that we never be unhappy with such a min knology. we're still not happy with such 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 a middle east and background myself, and i feel tarnished in any way. in july, 2006, the nation's respectful and loyalty to lebanese straightens, 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 trailing, didn't to his credit, john howard, and difficult circumstances evacuated these citizens in a 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 australian community. it is now 5 months since you had deep water through the door, the punch bowl boys high. oh, never forget the dice. out of the punch bowl boys high school was i taking on something that was just too big. why was i doing it? why would i get myself that headache? all of those questions that were running through my head? why am i jumping out of a for i pam and 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, number's numbers were dwindling. there was, there were threats of closure. they were, they were the things that just weren't going well as a 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 police worked on the notorious on wall street to murder drive by shootings. residential, i've had 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 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 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 strive. 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 but 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 a 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 and where they belong to, talking about not only in the school, but the water part of society. they didn't feel like they belonged anywhere. what they needed was 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 deep is changing, young lebanese australian boys lives like 13 year old nigi who has just started in new 7. when i 1st got to the school, i didn't look anything at all. and i just didn't want to be there. i spent most of my time in the toilet striking was lacking digging school. i saw to school my friends used to get up to a lot of things. i sang out with a lot of people and i think little drive and it doesn't take him long before he's in trouble with the principal always used to get it always listed and schools always gets them the and i said this whole time out of what i told the guy

for all the teachers or students or parents, parents were getting scared, and i fight of the kid safety. i got that straight away. nice. g suspensions mount? when he turned 15, he's taken aside by jer, had dbhdd used to be told me and my school martin on because i feel this lawful to a trade. you know, say, philips have goes us by he is, is going to be rest. employ nigi is now 2 years 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 construction 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 petition in

a good looking. so that on the, on the streets and it's something back for us, for what you, 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 all, help them make the right choices in life once upon a time university, it wasn't an option. it's, it's there. 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 now what is to make a difference no matter what? at any cost ah, today, punchbowl boys high continues to record some of the nation highest growth rates in

literacy. and numeracy over so many lebanese is trailing families. the school is more of a sort of tried. it's clear and effective praise that their children and 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 mailed 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 astray, is biggest ever counter terrorism investigation operation pen. dennis comes to court in melbourne and sydney. i sent you to attend of imprisonment of 20 years of

friendship. and then 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. the softer was to win the 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 bark 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. they meet. you cannot 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 and because we 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 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 moodle and protested storms the cd. 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 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 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 has spoken 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, 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 handled itself. i was very proud of bead. we mobilized over the community effort to diffuse the situation and to send the messages and the different forces. but the same message and the message was, violence will not be tolerated. not now, not ever. the deliver needs are 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 have emerged stronger than and 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 restrictions,

living in a big city, the people of southwest, sidney face challenges, gang activity and gun crime still exist. but it, toxic 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 arabic community live in a community the whatever can be in and what a 1st of all my story strength when i have a seat, i put as much a draw and i came into my all the x and i had to do it. i know my parents get back and they know them at the right decision with us. and we never came here for anything out of the to have updates a lot. ah, will continue contributing. i'm a high school principal, i'm

a commission community relations commission. one of my brothers is award 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 at sometimes it's a little bit reminds me of the castle at the very end, where mister kerrigan sits back. you know what he's patio and he just sits back and he's just happy. and that's my parents back and i got somebody good me hello, hot sunshine and high temperature, it's really the flavor across the middle east. we've got re add in for, for,

for some sand and dust, southern saudi yemen. and oh bob, but i want to take you around the golf right now. we know for the golf around, jo, this is the highest temperature of the year at $34.00 degrees. imagine it's like a fan rate out there in the gulf blowing towards ho has. so we deal with that high humidity next 3 days shows a 75 percent humidity on sunday will feel about 55, but we crank it up to 80 on monday. so the heat index will be $56.00 southern areas of pakistan, the wind starting to back off a bit. so we reduce the risk of sand industrial stair, some instability. the hor, through to islam about on sunday. know for turkey, a disturbance over the black sea is diving down what, whether it's parched areas of the country, but of course, we know it will take much more than this to battle back against those wildfires. flooding has been a concern through sudan, and if we look at the forecast on sunday, see those heavier storms from sudan into south sudan. and if we wrap this one up a bit further toward the south,

we do have what and windy weather pulling into the western cape. keep time we've got you in for a high of 17 degrees on sunday. that's your weather forecasts. we'll catch up later . the each and every one of us have got a responsibility to change our personal space for the better or we could do this experiment and a lot of us could increase just a little bit that would be worth doing. anybody had any idea that it would become a magnet who is incredibly rest? they're asking women to get 50 percent representation in the constituency assembly here in this book. because the collect the segregate the say rethink. this is extremely important service. they provide the city we need to

take america to try to bring people together trying to deal with people who've been left behind me. ah . chaotic things in it couldn't do it through it becomes the latest after city to fall to the taliban. and just the past few days, a santa maria, this is the world news from al jazeera creases. wildfires turned forest to ash, towns and cities of field under threat of what the prime minister calling and nightmarish.
