7:04 pm
israeli forces that we've been seeing them not only increasing in terms of numbers, but also in the timing that they're happening in the middle of the day they are claiming the lives of palestinians who are just going about their daily lives are going through the market at tens of thousands of people are protesting across greece after the nations worse trained disaster. ah, a police fired tear gas and flash bang grenades to disperse large crowds in the capital, athens, civil servants, doctors, teachers, and transport workers have walked off the job to show their anger. what they say is the crumbling state of the rail network. protesters of questioning why the government failed to pursue safety reforms. give me a shoot him, a doctor's given my know i'm very angry and not just with someone in particular with every one. they should never have happened. every one should be held accountable from the lowest to the highest. even i am responsible that i didn't react, said this would never happen often over, you know that most of them of him almost 50. no. lemme of course i'm angry. how
7:05 pm
could i not be? it's not just the accident, it's everything else is well done. a lot of things have been building up so people have really reached their limit. who are you going to be quite human? it's logical that that would be angle within society. but i believe during these moments, silence is the best option miss. a john serrato says more on this. we heard that this government has inherited a situation in which only 1818 percent of the railway network had been installed with automated safety systems. that could have prevented the february 28th trained collision. and during the tenure of the last 3 and a half years of this government, that percentage has risen to 7070 percent. and that they are trying to fulfill the contracts by the end of the year that our expedite the process. and the prime minister spoke personally with the chairman of el storm and france,
7:06 pm
which is providing this equipment to try and accelerate the delivery rate. but the fact is that all the nice of the accident, the local systems enlarge the station where the train left from, we're an operation and wouldn't was able to station most to see that the train had left the station northbound on the cell phone. so evidently that system wasn't being consulted and that raises questions about the extent to which railway personnel had been trained on the system and were heating the system. tragically, the larissa equipment was isolated because of network problems from the rest of the country. so nobody else could see what the station monster could have seen. if he cared to see it. i could stand former prime minister him ron con, has called off a planned election rally after his supporters were arrested for defying a ban on public gatherings. there were confrontations with police officers ahead of
7:07 pm
hands planned election rally and law hours before the event authorities imposed. the ban on all demonstrations for a week are joining me lie from the whore is former prime minister in ron con. sir, thank you very much for joining the program. first of all, your reaction to the government deciding to ban rallies just as your supporters were taking to the streets. well, just to give you the background. the supreme court asked the president of august than to fix an election date. that date was as fixed for the 30th of april. so that which means 50 days left. so my body decided to an election open our election campaign by a rally in law to day. the police had given us permission that approved the route of the of the the rally. and suddenly this morning the permission was taken away. but not just taken away. we had these heavy contingents of belize and these are
7:08 pm
people coming to attend a peaceful rally. we're hit birth garb dear guest shows were water cannon with some chemical in it, which people are still recovering from. and then police discharging these protesters a breaking their gaz. and so many people got injured, but one belong ah, this guy was killed in police custody. how do you interpret what you are describing as this, this government, back and forth on the rules about holding a rally? well, the issue is that the government, the all the 12 parties said a good government and their backers, the petrified of elections because so far in the last 8 months, out of the 37 by elections,
7:09 pm
my party has won 30 out of them. so they're petrified of general elections that did not want to generally elections. we went into the supreme court and the supreme court then decided to hold elections. and the date of 30th april was announced by the president. so we were just going, according to i should doom to start an election campaign, but it is clear that the government does not want election, the parties sitting in the government, they want to get out of the election. so my worry is that the, the idea was to create a law and order situation today. and we really restrained our work as recall of the rally because we were scared that there would be people killed. and that would be used as a brick pretext to get out of the elections. some might answer that while the government is perhaps afraid of the upcoming elections. you are also afraid of complying with judicial rules and police did show up at your house in the hor, on the a few days ago to arrest you to compel you to show up in court and you evaded arrest
7:10 pm
in were let me tell you something so far there 76 cases against me. i am charged for dead rhythm judge for blasphemy, judge for sedition, or in the $77.00 cases. and these cases have been bed and the last few months. so i've been going from one courtroom to the other. what happened was when i was shot, were this assassination attempt on me for, for 4 months on my leg wasn't, i had 3 bullets and my legs. i couldn't go out of my house. so that's when this started at the guest is mounted. they wanted to wear me in a baron courts. and so it's just a question of how do you deal with 77 cases? i mean, how many court appearances do you make? so it is just one other way of getting me out of the way to contest the elections.
7:11 pm
so they want either to imprison me or to disqualify me because they're scared that this my body, thanks to the almighty, is one of the most popular body and pakistan's history. so because they're scared, that's why they're trying to find ways either to get out of elections or get me out of the way. there are provincial elections, as you mentioned in april and then national elections later this year. if they both go ahead is scheduled. can you legitimately run in national elections if, as you say, there are 70 plus cases currently pending against you all the cases, i'm afraid of frivolous. whenever they're going to a court of law, these cases will be dismissed. i imagine i just give you an example. there's a terrorism i'm supposed to have commit to, sir, sorry to interrupt. what is the case? and if that's why was and that's why you believe, why don't you show up in court?
7:12 pm
because i couldn't sure been god, there were reasons why i had i was injured. so for a lot of dying, mike, for 4 months i was better. i'm house ridden. i couldn't really, my leg wasn't the doctors would not allow me to travel and they knew it. but before that i was in attending on court cases. but it's only since i i was or i had, i was short. that's when i, i didn't attend gods, and since then i have again, but they look, it's physically not embody a possible to a den so many god guesses. so my lawyers are trying to sort of work out or should do. the 2nd problem is security. my life is under threat because the people who, who tried to assassinate me own power. and so we've asked from the gods we want protection . the god must give us me protection. oh, but before i can a parent gods. because i repeat the people who i have nominated in my
7:13 pm
assassination attempt are sitting and power. right. and just for our viewers, i want to make clear that they deny that including the prime minister, who said he has nothing to do with the or with the shooting against you late last year. how do you see the rest of this year playing out for you with these 2 elections coming up? well, you know, the, the biggest concern right now for my political party is or to protect me because there's a severe that there's a serious threat to my life. and the reason is, i repeat that these people said again, power, petrified, of losing the elections, which there will, which is why they don't want election. so the question is, how do i get been and yet i have a secure enough environment. question is, how do i go to this course i, i made 3 quarter baron says,
7:14 pm
and unfortunately there was just no protection there are. that's why we were approached the court and said, look, there must be some police protection. but probably as the people who are supposed to protect me are the ones who are trying to kill me. but what's your plan for this year? is it when elections and then and then riding back into office and into power in islamabad? well the elections, national elections or should do for october, but because we weren't power in 2 of the 4 provinces, we dissolved our, our assemblies here. and so i do hall elections. so the supreme court then now are asked the president to give a debt which is 30th, april and on the 30th april we hope to contest. and these 2 are provincial assemblies, which we were already in power. and what we were hoping was that since it's 65
7:15 pm
percent of by august on these 2 provinces, there would be a national election. and the idea for national election is because i got to me, has gone into tailspin. pakistan is facing the worst economic crisis in its history . so the idea was to her all elections, which would then bring political stability and which would then bring economic stability. so this is right, really, why we are, we went for elections that are to provinces. i emron come, former prime minister of pakistan. thank you very much for coming on the program today. still ahead on l 0. the un appeals the aid to help or anger refugees in bangladesh after a fire destroyed thousands of homes. ah,

7:23 pm
so far less than half of the $400000000.00 requested by the un to deal with the immediate needs from the disaster has been funded. but it's not the only problem. a coordinated effort is needed in a largely isolated region which lacks the capacity and resources to face its latest catastrophe. all the while access to northwest syria depends on a political decision by the syrian government. biggest thing is predictable access . we saw the additional 2 border crossings for you and aid access was a good start. but at the 3 month window that you know they're operating off of is wholly insufficient, the skill to humanitarian response and to north west syria. furthermore, is the 2nd piece, which is that we need a principal not critical response of an unconscionable failure is how some aid workers described the international response in syria so far for those who survived . the recovery from the aftermath of this disaster has yet to start said whether i
