this is a nationwide curfews in place of the southern support who stole the presidential palace? ah. hello. hello robin. you're watching over there. a log with headquarters here in dover. also coming up holmes lawston, farmlands of merge. the government says one 3rd of pakistan is are covered by flood water. also, ukraine says it's closed a counter offensive to retake its russian control southern region of keshawn. ah, welcome to the program, a political crisis in iraq as abrupt it into violence after the powerful shiite leader looked at al serra announced that he was quitting frontline politics, gun fire and explosions of rocked bag dad's high security green zone in the past few hours with reports of heavy fighting between rival she eyed factions at least

20 people have been killed and hundreds injured and the worse fighting the rocky capital as seen in yes. rhetoric, gaten big begins, our coverage had been kale, sim, baghdad, heavily fortified green. i the rival, she eyed factions targeting each other through fighting escalated late on monday night after a day of violence and political turmoil through where it is broke out. at the shiite cleric, montero said, announced he was quitting from mine politics. his supporters broke into the presidential palace, which houses the prime minister's office. oh, many, even taking to the palace pool. oh la, cannot i live on milan?

our demands are to dissolve parliament and to hold the corrupt to account. and we shade my master look to the outsider. your pride is under your feet, and it will take effect for you with stories, hours one afternoon. can take a prime minister miss steph academy halted cabinet sessions until further notice. the direct political life was all ready in limbo. this be deadlock for almost a year. since mac tad all sat, his party won the largest share of seats in elections last october. it wasn't enough to secure a majority and sat hasn't been able to form a government of his choosing. he told his m. p 's to resign in june. and his supporters have been protesting since july, some even briefly occupied parliament. they won't new elections without the participation of a ran backed groups. no, i won't be. and i would. this is an iraqi revolution. iraq should be returned to

little people. oh, this is not the 1st time sad as announced his retirement from politics. many have dismissed it as a blow to gain leverage over his rivals. already several protested, have been killed and hundreds wounded and it's feared, sat, his latest move could lead to yet more instability. thank toria, gate, and be al jazeera. well, mood of the wide this now in baghdad with the latest were now very close to the green zone. were the clashes, is it continuing, give between armored brigades affiliated too much to the southern, on the one hand? and on the other hand, military units, they say the so the support of the say that the, the, the army groups shooting at them are pretty aided to the popular mobilization courses. we cannot independently verify that,

but we know for certain that the kids take care of prime minister almost doubled, call me earlier. warden had security forces not to use life. bullets again is to protest as have been sniper shots coming from on top of the building. if you can, if you, if you, if just heard this explosion, we've been hearing explosions, several explosions. many people here say that probably most rockets or a rocket propelled grenades fired in the area in and around the green zone. the situation remains very tense. as you know that it's ironic because of the green zone, which is a battle field now between the rival of factions has been there heavily fortified area that is home to government offices and international diplomatic commissions, including the u. s. embassy and the, the embassy over the u. k. oh, there is dosage baris into wrong with lord,

how the iranian government is reacting to the violence in bagdad. while we heard from officials in iran who advised their citizens not to travel to iraq, they have also cancelled all flights to iraq as a result of the instability they've ongoing in that country. there's a travel advisory, tall new citizens to avoid travel to the country. they've also closed all the land border crossing between iraq and on of course the 2 countries are neighbors and they share a very long border that stretches about 1300 kilometers. and we also heard from the foreign ministry course and a little earlier this evening. and he said that the great new government leave that there is no political impacts that can't solve itself. and that's the iranians are recommending that iraq and pursue a solution to political misunderstandings that they're having on its constitution.

which is interesting, of course, because one of the main issues that is the core of the dispute between the southern supporters and the government is the constitution itself. and the laws that i've been put in place about the system of government that they have with other else other has been a crucial figure in the rocky politics. for a long time, the she lead us address movement is one of the most powerful factions. they raised provenance after the end of sadam, hussein leadership in 2003 east mander. the departure of american troops and as against iran's influence, his movement secured the top position after parliamentary elections in october last year, wedding $73.00 seats. but neither he nor his rivals had enough seats for majority. after months of failing to form a government southern ordered his n piece to resign in june. and his supporters have protested in central baghdad since july, briefly occupying parliament. there is

a sullivan. java has reported extensively from iraq and join me now on the set. souther says he's going to leave politics. now, what we're seeing on the streets is a nasty and violent turn of events leading to at least 20 people dead. that's a huge responsibility on the shoulders of a political leader that he's got a really mean what he says, well, depends on where you are in the political spectrum the. the people who follow souther obviously believe that the means it although he said similar things in the pastors but. and that is why in the, in a place where iraq find itself now without a government since october last year. heading in the direction where there seems to be no hope for the people who voted for, for the people who are in power. you have to remember that these people have had no rest bite. looking forward to the politicians, they can't even agree informing a government. so yes, it is a very interesting time where southern has decided to call it quits for politics.

but in a few hours of when he did, you also heard him tell his people that there should refrain from violent saying that he's going to go on a hunger strike until the violence comes down. and that's something that has been welcomed by the prime minister as well. so yes, you can believe as much as he said that he will be part of officially from politics . but he has a massive fall is this is the person who can pull the largest crowds out, not just in baghdad, but across the country as well. so i don't think that this is the end of both of those other espionage. but at the end of the day, the politicians do have to talk to each other and it seems that we are heading potentially to elections again with the same sort of outcome perhaps. well, i think that you're going to have the same result as we see now, a 57 percent of iraq did not vote in the last election. if you'd speak to the youth, they don't see any hope in working for this phonetic system. and it's not just this time around. we have seen that from the 2019 protest where people came out in the streets. they do not believe in these politics. politics which is polarized between

people who are backed by iran, people be between people who are seen as corrupt between people who are seen as part of the system which is creating problems rather than providing solutions. so the people of europe seem to be disillusion from this system and that is something that people who are populous like feather are able to capitalize on and get a massive following outward at the end. if you repeat it with another election is going to more or less the same is going to have another impost with the hung parliament with the various political blocks forming and breaking away from formations. so unless iraq are addresses, the mandate which was given to prime minister caused me to form a committee to amend the constitution to listen to what the people of iraq want. this is going to continued repeat. so what does souther actually offer his constituents that other politicians are not providing when they are elected into positions of power and the government has been formed in the past. he obviously has huge attraction and people believe what he says that he can give them what they

need. what do they need when he's a charismatic leader and you have to look at the trajectory of where sadder is now he was the most wanted person in iraq after 2003. he was somebody who was pandering to iran when he went to on our end in the last few years. he's been debate from it . so he's the one who's championing the cause of providing electricity to iraq, from quip he's trumpeting the cause of telling that that this is a system of russian politics that doesn't work and it needs to be overhauled. so he think all the right things. and now you have to realize that him pulling away from politics, his decision to call it quits, is also in line with that it is not this not come out of nowhere. he's telling his people that he's tried for nearly a year to be part of this politics, to be part of the political system of the largest block in power. and he is not able to bring the change. so he has to move away from it. whether he's actually going to do it with all of his empties are going to resign,

whether there is going to be a new parliament. these are all questions which are going to have answers later right now in baghdad. in the last few hours, you've been hearing explosions, gunfire. we don't know who's fighting. cool. well, all parties are saying that they need to be calm. we've got a system in place which seems to be paralyzed since last elections. so even if their elections held tomorrow, this is not going to be the silver bullet which is going to solve problems. iraq's problems are deep rooted. there is a security division. there is this white strip spread corruption in every public department. and the people of iraq need to find cope and some sort of a way forward to the looking to the future. and that is something that politicians in europe have not been able to provide, not since last year's election, but in the last 20 years. so the uncertain time sir rocket that i'm from image some a thank you. well still had here on al jazeera 6 palestinian schools and occupy these teresa facing closure by israel because of what's in that text books. and,

ah, a celebration of caribbean culture of europe spigot st party is back after the peasant demick ah. 2 stories of strong willed when challenging traditional female stereotypes in a male dominated society to make a different channel. if i go, of course, we'll pull into the ravine. how families look like. the water is highly contaminated. bolivia in the class. risk in it all. al jazeera, this november well is coming to cat off of the clock is ticking as the main event gets closer with every step of the way. so i'm going to go through that with

are family and our friends and our committee member on our online. i, jewel voice this mended to we don't believe in dialogue. political crisis must be off with a political solution. as climate change progresses, there are some people who are in places that they're just going to have to read. there's no recognition about what we're ready facing. the street. oh, now j 0 lou . ah, your geologist over the whole robin, welcome back. a reminder of all top stories. at least 20 people have been killed, falling gun, fired, explosions, and beg screens zone the area houses. government offices unfold embassy night comes after the powerful shan't. neither. butter announced that he was quitting politics

and so those followers have stormed wrong. it's government palace, hundreds were injured. a security forces tried to drive protest designed to the complex which houses the prime minister's office. and he's also gone on hunger strike, he says his protests will continue until security force has stopped using violence against his followers. so there had called for early elections after the last votes in october, failed to lead to the formation of a contract. below were harb is an iran con list and walk the fellow at the washington institute explains what is being played out in baghdad. this is a power rivalry mainly within the house now that they have for all intents and purposes of crushed the, the so nice period because most of within the areas that are under the control of, of militia, on one hand. and the one powerful and influential western back could the

10 regional government. so the political party is basically the, an opportunity to consolidate power and maybe and do much of the decentralization and federalism that granted this to me and the, the current, the region power. but the current, the, the house is now divided along 2 major lines. on the one hand you have the dolls father, the star of today's activities. the populace mercurial, definitely ambition and has cast himself. busy in different light and the latest the, which is an antique iran bench was definitely appeals to the west. and then on the other hand, you have a group of classical traditional iraqi blog post saddam through additional political parties that have lost 2 father, but have come together found in other a cause around which to unify the problem is that both sides are,

are to their teeth neither side, believe them the state and the really jeopardizing the security and stability of the country in a very ugly and violent power struggle. and the hope is that it doesn't get more violent. well, the days of the top story and that spark a song where its planning minister says the initial economic losses from the floods could be higher than $10000000000.00 after the bol estimates, it'll take 5 years to rebuild and recover. the rains have killed more than 1100 people since june. the government is warning of food shortages, but of how many crops and how many crops have been lost. military helicopters have been deployed to help those stranded in remote areas while hyder is in the swamp. the valley, one of the worst effected areas in the country. he said, this report where i'm standing right now. you can see all these drugs. now the drugs were brought by raging gordon and had a grinding effect. in fact,

the parliament has failed more than once to form a government or elect a new president due to that political rivalry over who is entitled to form a government. they know that he is barcus, owns planning ministers, as the initial economic losses from the floods could be higher than $10000000000.00 . authentic bol estimates that it'll take 5 years to rebuild and recover. the rains have killed more than 1100 people since june. the government is warning of more food shortages because of how many crops have been lost. military helicopters have been deployed to help those stranded in remote areas. they're also conflicting reports from ukraine after launched a counter offensive against russian forces in the south to retake the cash on region. ukraine. since its troops had broken through russian defences in several parts of the front line near the city of cash and forcing its units to retreat. but

russia says the ukrainian advance has been repelled and ukraine has suffered heavy losses. these are the headlines about with more news in half the time here on the next it's democracy. maybe to stay with us. news news. ah, ah ah,

i was the very young age. what racism white supremacy was. racism is evil. if you are visible or not to be taken seriously, you are a criminal. you are someone who is supposed to shut up except when america gives you the i, the mother, she would have to be like this ideal place where everybody's voice counts and it can only be created if we destroyed the systems that that price america. 2 2 2 2 2 2 people live on that it's allusion. they have power that they give to politicians.

real power, real powers into people. when you make the politicians do what you want them to do . america is governed by people who are born, paid for by the rich is the money to make changes to people voting blake, he will not wield at all when we flow for the right of all. the honorable reverend doctor martin luther king junior, put his life on the line for the right to vote. he was fighting for the power of the vote, a power to change laws, the power of legislation. this is not what he fought for as well. both don't have any power. ah, brother,

morning like man has everything. okay, well you have a thing. thank you sir. so before we get started, i got to know where you've been and what you've been up to. so we decide. so it's all about black opportunities, right? as an organization, i feel like the apex with black smoke. so i'd file for my license to carry and texas, which will carry over to 30 states. we want to be prepared and ready. violence arises. i will tell you that you may be met with resistance and the quickest way to change the laws regarding upholding your 2nd amendment, right, which is the right to be on it to have people of color apply for applications to carry a gun in value. you will see a change in state law because somebody will be tracking that. so i just want you to

be aware of. right? you know what you really interested in is we are seeing record levels of black gun ownership. and we, as that happen is a shortage of bullets right now is actually of a public, a hardcore public that was introduced to me by a mutual friend that said, i hope you fight it. so. 5 i look, i'm not surprised in remo. back history. history is told us that republicans was on the right side of nature when it came down to slavery and then went to the other side of the ledger. i know so i'm not surprised by that. not a gory, but you're going to find a needle in a haystack. you know, it was, you know, it was really interesting. so, around the 1900 sixty's, when doctor king and everything was on fire. right. it was a run for the presidency. right? democrats knew that they needed black boat, so they appear pro civil. right. so the republicans say we're going to have

a white southern vote, and that's when everything shifted. right. i really feel like the black folks don't have anyone fighting for them in politics. ah, then when martin luther king junior was murdered, it was an uproar across the world. right? it was right. all right. people really just like when george what do you want? me just george lewis just a regular do. he was no freedom fighter. you know, angel that god sent down to give us the right to vote. just regular. do. but the

way the she she was killed. it jolted everybody into action. ah . so we look back at the protest bird on by the black lives matter movement and we see this is attorney points in american democracy and in democracy more generally with wasn't the death of george lloyd alone, whose back bark the math approach has been that we saw when i defeated 2020, it was that death on top of a long term process of disenfranchisement and disillusionment on the part of the

african american and other citizens that really cause that with what i think a lot of people felt was we're not gonna take it any more a, just a collective ceiling of enough is enough. ah, the racial wounds and divisions that still have not healed in the united states still have not been transcended in the united states. and it didn't. and with the civil rights legislation of the sixties and it didn't and with the election of an african american president. oh, i think that in order to get rid of the racial device in this country is going to take a lot of hard work and it's going to be complicated. i don't think that it's going to be a simple process. it's not easy to change. and the longer you've been doing something

even harder than it is to change, and this has been the status quo for the western world. since slavery began to now we have defined what it means to be a human being. we have defined what it means to be a citizen based on race. i think that people have trouble believing in democracy because we don't have a good example. it's hard to believe in what you can't see. it's even harder to conceptualize something new. and so people are just looking for answers and i think that is really the that's really the conversations that are happening around the world. i don't think that adjusting the race problem will solve will allow us to achieve democracy. but i think that it is unnecessary for i think that racism is a huge issue and extremely into influential. i think that's where i always start. i am not coming to you asking you to stop being racist as

a person who is devoid of prejudice. but you have to learn how to question, why, why do i think that something different from the what, what i've seen is wrong when we talk about the majority of america, not believing in democracy how it most of them define it. how it, most of them define our own democracy. why don't we care about other people enough to allow them the same opportunities you would want for ourselves? ah, well, with living in the waters when you know. and so i think we can see the consequences of very deep social divisions and cleavages in the united states. where we now have one party, a republican party that has become in many ways, extremely homogenous. it is overwhelmingly white. it is overwhelmingly not just

christian, but composed of people who are quite religious greece, iris in the my god gave me a dream about prison term in the white house. and he said, i want you to start paying for this man. the democratic party in this country is composed of people from a broader array of backgrounds except for those types of folks who are represented in the republican party. and so people have really retreated into seeing themselves as parts of groups that are really quite distinct that don't have a lot of overlap or interaction with other groups. and therefore, the sense that we are americans, in addition to all of these other identity, i believe. and i did my team of people that came to shut down a suburb empty book infiltrated. they had plans to dress up and look like some supporters. they are never seen the united states so divided in the political agendas that people have ah,

and it's a very serious problem to many of us. we like to focus on why are people violating our laws? and in particular, the constitution states, ah, this division in our society has been boiling for a long time. it's not that trump. oliver's son brought this division on. it's the fact that they now have a strong, strong republican who has been able to move things that they want to just blame him for everything that has gone wrong. ah, all the people heavily my personal opinion is when you're part of any country,

you need to understand there are responsibility. it's not all about rights to belong. we have elections that are supposed to be run a certain way. ah, one of the major problems with the current situation is that the people in power worked to make sure that more ballots were put in volks, for that particular candidate than the other camp. and so would that be considered fraud? yes. you hear many stories. i cannot justify whether the stories are true or false. you look at the death records in people who have been dead for years or roading. how can nappy ah

ah there is, i think, a real division that is reflected in values, you know, attitudes towards religion towards you know, certain social practices that i think is, you know, actually shaping a lot of contemporary politics. what is the problem? why does identity pose such such an enduring and serious challenge for democracy? bank work? rock rust? i wrote this famous article back in the 19 sixty's which said that one of the basic requirements of a democracy is you have to believe you're living in the same country. well actually what was interesting about that article is he said it's the only precondition

is that common sense of national identity. everything else you can develop along the way. the trouble for democratic politics comes when your identity becomes essential eyes, meaning it's the most important thing about you so difficult to actually govern them because they have no sense of national identity. so this is clearly the single most emotive dividing line in american politics. now i have no doubt of those. do you have any thoughts about how this can be bridge? i think there is a kind of unfortunate tendency that you know, a lot of people want everybody to think the way they do. and their strategies are all about how do we actually a modernize everybody in terms of thought. but i just think that, you know, the challenge of living in a diverse society is precisely, you know, figuring out how to get along with people that don't agree with you. ah,

i think we did not fully understand how very fragile our democracy was and how very divided our society was ah, our democracy is extremely fragile. and that if we are not constantly cultivating and protecting its foundations, they kind of road with really surprising rapidity. and that the divisions in our society, if we do not figure out ways to overcome them, then the door will be open for another illiberal autocratic figure like trump to walk through and begin this process of attacking american democracy and american community. again, who's

what we call visit. oh, no. oh no, no, no. or you know what our community to make sure to read all kind of be a black lives matter of you. this is organizing. this is the community. it's a lot more and more down the street. it's taken care of, but i organized in a big you want to put in a bad you got it. we need strong back to me. i have

a dream that is economic separation because nobody will care about what black people are talking about until we remove the money from their systems and use that money to build up schools in our community. we can build our own communities where we don't have to rely on white people coming back a little, ma'am, if you could kind of get a bag so you'll have to rely on the money when the business. just imagine like banks to submit the stop shopping all their stores. you started shopping in our stores. you know how fast we will get right. oh. have to stand hand in hand white people and sing songs and

be happy. i just have to live a life without the obstruction of oppression. so when we say black lives matter, essentially is saying that your life doesn't matter. our life does man and they get upset if you say all lives matter because they want to focus on black. the black lives matter created more havoc and more, more violence than peace. they were not a peaceful organization. as a brown person myself, i'm ashamed of them. they don't stand for what we stand for. identity is difficult for democracy, so you see yourself primarily as a member of

a particular ethnic group or a particular religious group or identify most with a sexual minority on. and these are things that obviously are not problematic in themselves. they only become problematic when they're seen as being in competition with or antithetical to broader national identities. there are some very real problems in our society, some very deep social divisions that if we do not recognize and deal with our democracies and our societies are going to continue to decay, oh ah

oh, we never see a gunshot here against another american from a american to american, i hope it never happens. i see both sides are getting more passionate, more intense. and we're not looking at us as american citizens. we're looking at, that's the right, that's the left. and that's it. and there's a big river or big mountain in between us and we can't come together. i think that it's possible in the next 10 years or something could happen in terms of a civil war. it's like a volcano. volcano just doesn't erupt all of a sudden. it builds pressure and then eventually to ropes, we're building that pressure because we are not going according to the fundamental

principles of the constitution. ah, you go bob. i hear you say well, oh, he really move . ah,

the law is white. it benefits white people in a decimate, but a hold locks us in cages. jokes us to death. it puts bullets through our body, a nation. we went out there tearing things apart. why? america handles is problems violently, always threat of violence. so why wouldn't, why wouldn't with

tell me, what do we do about are we going to have an, i'll say the word a civil war? are we going to fight among ourselves? ah, the world is in a more and more perilous state. with my biggest fears about democracy in the west, if we don't defend and renew and reform invigorate democracy in our democracies, we're not gonna be an example that is inspiring to other countries in the world. but i remain an optimist. i think there is

a new generation emerging that is seeking a multi racial society in which everybody can live in dignity. i don't think that will ever be able to completely eradicate inequality or human suffering. i guess what democracy looks like in practical terms is an intention and is a consistent effort to achieving that idea. i do this for the boys with don't have a lot of toys do. mm hm. i don't think that that's something by whatever not exist, but i think that being willing to do the work whole to your whole, minimize it to help people to care about people who is that is what matters. ah. but if we stop trying,

then we have no business calling ourselves with the court. oh, i. there are many paradoxes surrounding democracy. and one paradox is the divergent tendencies in human nature. we all want to be respected. we all want to be treated with dignity. we'd all like to have some power and control over our own lives. but at the same time, there is this darker side of human nature,

the greed for power. the greed for wealth insecurity, the drive to monopoly, the drive to tyranny. and the vanity that comes through tyrants who want to dominate over their citizens and control all sources of information, wealth and power. so this is the stuff of human history. this is the struggle of politics. me it was meant to be that day. did you hear the car is wine ok quick, i could put a tragic attack stunned the world and the u. s. president, a guy came in and whispered stockton into the president's ear,

what did he just say to press for the school children present? the events of september, the 11th defined the world. they grew up in just a huge moment. these are their stories. 911 paper. witness on al jazeera ah re algebra with for the shelling doesn't dunbar and baghdad, screens and 20 people are killed and fighting after she needed looked at all saw the announce is he's quitting politics ah.
