a fresh clashes have broken out between islamist protesters and security forces after similar violence yesterday left six people dead and almost two hundred injured the demonstrators have been rallying in the outskirts of the capital islamabad demanding the resignation of a government minister that they accuse of blasphemy they've blocked main routes into the city for almost three weeks now on saturday pakistani police and paramilitary forces failed to disperse the protesters despite a violent crackdown. and on the line now from islamabad is journalist assad how she must thanks for joining us so the government has now called in the army is this a sign that it's losing control of the situation. yes that's certainly the inference that we're hearing out here from the step that they took last night late last night to call in the army in aid of civil power to establish control over the situation and what we've seen since then is that the army has actually not deployed any personnel and the chief or fox on the military which of course has room for

more than half of its history and it was a very powerful institution the army chief met with the prime minister this afternoon to discuss the situation and the way forward now the question of whether the government is not going to situation with already in place for for the last couple of weeks because these protesters have managed to and they've been only about two thousand of them which in this context is a relatively small number it's considered to be they have been blocking this mean route into is now about more than two weeks and become very fringe political party and a question that already been raised about development that the sea and its ability to be able to establish control but it was clear they did not want a confrontation because there were several rounds of negotiations all when all of those ended unsuccessfully the government seemed to lose patience on saturday and sent in more than eight thousand riot police to try and clear this area of the two thousand protesters they were still seemingly unsuccessful in being able to do so which obviously raises questions about the kind of operation that was there was ordered and so now here we are where the protesters are actually still in the area

and still in control of that interchange now these protesters have been active for three weeks as they mentioned then you there from a new hardline islamist thought to what exactly do they want. well as far as they're concerned the first dream on the day has is that they want the federal law minister the head hunter to resign now this is based on allegations that he committed the last me by introducing an amendment into an electoral law that removes a certain reference which they deem to be softening the state's position against m. of the muslim now that was where they started from now it is unclear what they're what they're demanding and what they want further than that because the government it seems even gave in that condition on board and they're going to go shooting with them on this the real crux of the matter out here is that this is a relatively small fringe group the generally has not had the ability to turn out numbers or especially authority has not been very relevant to their party but

they're led by a hard line clerical has for years campaigned on this issue of boston and gained notoriety in fact to which you know their remarks and rhetoric inciting violence against particularly the end of the community but others as well and it seems that the move and receive the player in question is using these code it and using the issue of law something which is a compass a hot button issue but it's on in the last few years he's using it to gain political prominence and as far as he's concerned obviously it's worked out very well he's managed to got the capital for two weeks and now even a police operation unable to dislodge him i thought hashem joining us from islamabad thank you. there's been a powerful explosion in eastern china with the least two people killed and thirty injured the picture behind me showing the scene of devastation at the site of the blast it occurred at a factory in the port city of new about one hundred kilometers south of shanghai the force of the explosion was strong enough to flatten nearby buildings and
