6:03 pm
where the protest to taking place is the political heart of the seating. the parliament is located inside the grange. i'm along with other government offices. let's get more on the story now where the dosage barry, who joins us live at from at baghdad. hello. they dosa you. a with protest is in the green zone a little earlier today. tell us what you soul and more about these ongoing demonstration. well, earlier in the day, emily, we were with the protesters who were trying to get into the green zone and then we saw them take down a few of they at barricaded concrete walls. and we went in with them along for the journey. they walked a few kilometers to reach the parliament building. they were chanting at luke feather all feathers name, and they were chanting, anti and slogans against ed yuri, al malika, who of course was the former iraqi prime minister from 2006 until 2014. and they
6:04 pm
believed that at the nomination of the currents, a candidates for the position of prime minister mom, but she also dani is one who is close to maria malika. and that is something these demonstrators will not tolerate. they say they want a system free of corruption. i spoke to one demonstrator who said that he wants a government that is not corrupt, and they will follow mal feather al sutter as long as the it's needed until the end . now what that end is is still unknown for the time being. we've seen the demonstrators who have went into the parliament building, their numbers are in the thousands they have physically taken over the entire building. there is very little room to be around now. even as we left a few hours ago, people were still coming in to go into the building. the mood changed quite quickly . from one of quite tense, when we had a police forces fiery tear gas and a about a 125 people have been injured including 15 officers. but then it became quite calm
6:05 pm
as if people entered the greens on walk towards the parliament building. at times, even a celebratory tone took over the crowds. they were chanting and singing inside the parliament building. they say again, they will not go anywhere until their demands are met. those demands include an another election that they just had one here in october of last year. which really didn't get the results these protesters wanted, and that is a system free of corruption. i think it's quite telling now, since most other are southern, the politician and clark has said he was leaving politics because i, he didn't want to participate in a corrupt system. and also asked the 73 m p 's that are part of his party to leave as well. there has been very much a limbo in iraqi politics. and of course, all this instability doubt playing out on the streets. indeed, dozer and the prime minister has addressed the public in the past couple of hours. what did he have to say?
6:06 pm
oh mister fo academy. it again urging people for both sides, both the demonstrators and the security forces to remain calm at patience and a rational. he said that they should not be drawn into a confrontation. he was urging all sides to come to the negotiating table to try to find some kind of a solution to the stalemate that has been ongoing. now for 10 months, the list listening to some of what else he had to say and off load them up. i called him all to remain calm, patient and rational, a not to be dragged into confrontation, why there was in july i called citizens or not to clash with security forces. and to respect to the state institution was we should all work together to stop those who are accelerating this strife and everybody knows that the fire of sedition would bernice all was clear. you've been. yeah,
6:07 pm
this is really what the iraqi prime minister is hoping for. of course he's on his way out. he's waiting for this stalemate and, and a new president to be named. and then after that, a new prime minister. but the demonstrators have said that that would take place in this building that they are now occupying, and until their demands are met, they're not going to allow that to take place. so we'll have to wait and see in the coming hours, what unfolds. and then of course, we understand that behind the scenes, politicians are meeting to try and see if there's a way out of the situation. but for the time being these demonstrators are there to stay in the iraqi parliament, or are we really appreciate that update dosage of our live for us? stay in baghdad. thank you. so let's take a closer look now at what led to the sun rest. nearly 10 months after national elections, a rock has failed to form a new government. that's fuel tensions between supporters of influential shia cleric to al santa as we've been hearing. and
6:08 pm
a pro ron group named the coordination framework. it's led to a power struggle and a political deadlock, even though both groups shia. now, with recent protests, supporters appeared to be sending a warning to santa as adversary's to ron back to parties, nominated arrival politician to the position of prime minister. alright, let's bring in madison the alice murray, who is a research fellow at the harvard kennedy schools, middle east initiative. she joins us live from baghdad. marson, thanks so much for being on the program for see your in baghdad. what's the mood like in the city? a city is very much on high alert, thou does no stranger to. busy political people to protest, i mean 2019 you have protest that last month, sir, but it really does have an impact on every day life and it doesn't create concerns of the population about the stability and the safety of the city going forward. and speaking of that instability, alyssa made a big deal about exiting politics back in june. but looking at the events of this
6:09 pm
weight, he's clearly still a player. so what does he want? i mean to clarify the lane which is only incident politics formally in terms of exiting. busy harland, but he has by no means exit at politics. he's just moved the fight from parliament to the street from what i hear, what he wants. is he, once a revision of the political system, you know, revolutionary aims and creating a new political system. there is no rumors of him wanting a new constitution and that's really what is being said in iraq. are the things that are more clear about what he wants is he is adamant that his rivals the coordination framework and specifically former private district wide by dicky. did not get to designate a new prime minister, sent me a tall order that is there a solution that moves around beyond not just this style mine, but the current political divide? does elsa have the tools? does he want that?
6:10 pm
you know, what's really worried, some of the situation is that what we just had in october, the election was supposed to be a solution to a political impasse in 20. 19 up until february 2020. we had deeply destabilizing anti government protest. they were much more organic than the cedric protest that we see today. and as a consensus to the protesters and in mediation with the religious establishment, iraq decided that we were about to have a new electoral law and early actions in october. and so this is where we are now. this is a product of early elections under a new elect for a law with political parties having one seats in parliament. and yet we find ourselves in the same position of limbo. and one of the deeply concerning things the summer saying that fuller wants and you know, other elections, other early elections and other in term government. and i'm just concerned that if anyone calls for any elections that turned out was going to be very low because no
6:11 pm
one is interested in repeating the cycle of voting and then d, legitimizing, and boarding and got, and really achieving or result. talk us her, the makeup of these protest is we're looking at some live images now from inside the parliament hundreds, if not thousands of what appears to be young men who i am, what do they want? so the suggest demographic is young men from poorer or more populous areas in iraq, particularly the south and south center particular neighborhoods and belda like center city. i mean from the name clearly or where a lot of them are from and they tend to be younger, but there are older such as for the followers of the citrus father, a lot of them have the typical grievances for iraq, youth unemployment, poverty. and they do tend to follow him in what has been described by many researchers as i call like figure. and the way that they that they will turn out
6:12 pm
and vote for him. they will pretty much do anything he asks them to do. but what i caution against thinking is that they consider that they are a majority of the iraqi population, or that they are majority of the population. these protestors and the sundries in general. if you look at the make up of the, of the votes in the recent election really don't number much more than a 1000000, if not less than a 1000000 in a population of 40000000 people. so what i say about them is that they're a very loud, but they are a small group, one of the international ramifications of this instability taking a sort of a broader look at it. now, how the likes of washington and tyron be viewing this. i mean, both washington and the hand had actually been less involved and they usually tend to be for the last government formation and have more or less left to sort out
6:13 pm
their own well being clear who their preferences are for the prime minister. i think they will be much more alarm going forward because the worst case scenario. what we see today is outright and civil war between actions. everyone in iraq is armed and transgressions against his political rivals, least under recently, follower, burning and attacking the headquarters of another political party is actions like this escalade. there is no reason to believe that things along evolved into civil war. busy and i think neither the us nor iraq want to see that level of stability in iraq, especially given how close it is to syria and how that can really empower. busy terrorism in the region, creating these kinds of security vacuum and go down on wants to say that. thank you very much for breaking down for us in such a comprehensive way. my son osho marry a research fellow at the harvard kennedy schools, middle east initiative. thank you. thank you. moving on now and 17 ships loaded

6:18 pm
now he joins us live from washington, dc. hello there mike, what has been the federal response to this health emergency or the federal response has been that it's actually up to states or major cities to supervise healthcare within their particular reasons. or the whole circuitry is albia becerra made this statement in the course of the past 24 hours met with dismay. in some cases, the federal government, though, is continuing to stockpile vaccines. it says that it will have over 6000000 doses of vaccine by may 2023, but many groups say simply that this is not enough that it is up to the federal government to make sure that the states and the cities have the resources that they need to combat the looking at the u. s. having probably one of the highest infection rates of the monkey pucks in the entire world and significantly as well
6:19 pm
in new york state. for example, new york state says that 99 percent of the infections on man, on man related which carries with it its own set of problems. the state of emergency declared that the state of emergency declared in the city of san francisco. so regions are beginning to take local response with the help they hope a federal government. and mike, you talk of these state of emergency is being declared. what does that actually mean the public well, what it means is that, for example, in new york state, the public emergency has been declared. this allows the state to permit paramedics nurses, for example, to administer doses of the vaccine. it also opens up the door to greater federal assistance. now, it is interesting in terms of the fact that you have had observed to say that it's very difficult to coordinate on the basis of the 7 entities. now that is the u. s.
6:20 pm
is 50 states plus the 7 regions and major cities that are involved in san francisco, for example, which is the 1st city to declare public health emergency. once again, that opens up the avenues of assistance from the state as well as from federal level. so it is a bit of a hutch punch response in terms of the health department way of dealing with this. and what i must note as well. very importantly, on wednesday, the cdc said that there was some 5054500 cases reported late last night. those figures were updated to some 5 to 4000. and now that's an increase of 10 percent over some to days. so clearly, this is a health problem that is non to stabilizing. it is in fact, mounting in day. thank you very much for bringing us up to say bank hannah live for us in washington, dc. still in the us and an emergency has been declared in the state of kentucky
