amid rising security concerns after 2 deadly terror attacks in recent days in the country. now the demonstrations kicked off months ago after the government proposed changes that would give parliament the power to overturn court decisions, appoint judges, and restrict the reasons for which the prime minister could be removed from office . critics have said the reforms what a road vital checks and balances under undermined democracy in history. earlier the nation's leader benjamin netanyahu agreed to postpone the changes, but the protest movement seized the unrest will continue until the plumb is buried completely. while all this is happening, as mentioned against the backdrop of attacks in the country. on friday, i car plowed into a crowd at a seaside park in tel aviv killing an italian mountain, wounding if further fine tourists that occurred hours after a shooting. also by a palestinian not left to british has really sisters dead nearness really

settlement in the westman prime minister, netanyahu denounced the incidence of terror at times. son call the military and police reserve forces to bolster security. while some more to tell you from the region, the is really p m, has accused come us of being responsible for thursday's rocket. that took that originated from lebanese territory. in response to that, israel's warplanes struck lebanon and syria, as israel plumes, the neighboring country for supporting the military grip or strikes had targets in garza as well. ah, well, this is southern lebanon during the early hours of friday, after his really planes are responded militarily to the near $100.00 rockets that were fired from the area of israel. while the bombardment of garza was only just minutes after a statement from mister netanyahu,

in which he said the nations and the means we'll pay for the regression. reports are coming in this sunday that hundreds of people have barricaded themselves inside the axim or skin eastern islam. it follows is really police cracking down on the site this week. removing people during prayers at one of the islam holiest sites violent clashes inside the mos provoke sharp condemnation from the real world. the 1st rate likes to happen on wednesday morning when there's really forces stored in the building using tear gas and beating palestinian worshippers. it's really police l age that dozens of young men hurrying rocks and fireworks had tried to barricade themselves inside. during hours of the mosque was off limits to milton, judaism, holy aside, temple much is also located inside the same compound. the

now approximately 60000000 people across 70 countries are under threat of their lives being torn apart from land mines, unexploded bombs and other devices. now, according to un reports released this week, our t corresponding, i'm on cost ribs in they've done yet. republican sent this report from one of the most mine written areas of the regions conflicts or this week. the united nations marks its annual international day of mine, awareness and aids in mind action across the globe. it was declared by the un in 2005, and is designed to garner support for the elimination of explosives threatening civilian population around the world. now over the last a year or so, here and on boss. $160.00 villians, including 10 children, stepped on the prohibited p, f. m. one. anti personnel explosives, also known as betsel mines. 3 people died from the sustained injuries. now the

culprit in all of those cases, ukraine that be a fam, one's war benz under the ottawa convention to which key is a party back in 1997. but the ukranian authorities ignored their obligations to dispose of the petals and, and now they're using these mines against innocent civilians here in dunn boss, or what all is well, visitors who i worked at the cemetery where i was on my way to clear out some grass for people i had some free time, but as soon as i took a step, i looked down and realized i just lost my foot. and my arm was wounded or i was worried about the arm. they called an ambulance right away. the people who did this or they knew in advance when a child or elderly person could step on it. such people have no humanity for the ciocca smuggler bordner who i was careful to watch in my stamp line as i knew about the mines. but it just happened that i didn't sportage for french, it was covered by leaves, was catherine's, which mines on

a battle fil is one thing. but in residential areas where civilians live a district where children stroll. so that's very cruel ethnical. if i could only turn back time, i wouldn't have gone there any brochure. i just closed my eyes and imagined that i didn't. but my feet are still gone. rained the petal. mine's come into different colors, green and brown. and they're really hard to notice on the ground here in done boss . they're scattered throughout civilian areas. and the way that happens is that ukraine uses cluster munitions full of these betel mines. and then what happens, they fall on civilian areas in different places. and they're very hard to notice. a person walking with their child, her whole, their loved ones in the pork can step on this mine just like that without noticing it. and then can become disabled for life. like i said earlier,

3 people have died from the injuries sustained by this petal mind. what are numerous reports of lun mind scattered around other parts of the world, south, east asia, the worst affected area, not the $6000000.00 unexploded mines on other munitions still reportedly remain in cambodia after the end of an armed conflict. there in 1998 african states also have a legacy of dealing with explosive remnants of war or e. r. w's as the result of regional conflicts in uncle, and many areas are affected by the explosive devices. as a result of almost 30 years of civil war. but we spoke to a political analyst from the country who saves most countries affected by land mines. struggle to find the ways to eliminate the hidden danger. it's easy, it's cheap to put in a land mind on the land and during the war is sheep is easy quickly,

but it on a piece period, east, it is very expensive. and most of the country that have mazda lend, mind, doesn't, to have expertise acknowledged. you to, to remove those are land mines. so it is very expensive intake long time to remove all those a lend mind and it never will be. all of then real can do noon. remember to work in the most dramatic way continued to killing and a generation by generation. we use author the consequence, the war in a most of that and most direct away. that's a is dion because of that exclusion of those mind.

now the us invasion of iraq, which left a trail of destruction including up to 1000000 civilians, killed and countless more displaced has passed its 20th anniversary. we are continuing our special coverage of the military action, the through the oil rich country into chaos on the stabilize the region for years to come. ah well, amid the grim oliver shree the us based on a litigant center gala post relief the pool, which fun of the majority of muslim nations do not see the us as a democracy building power. just to give you an example in iraq, 72 percent of respondents do not believe quote, the u. s. is serious about encouraging the establishment of democratic systems in muslim countries. let us show you this as well on this day. in fact, 20 years ago, a large statue of iraqi leader saddam hussein was toppled in baghdad. the monument

scene of a symbol of his rule in the country was brought on by iraqis with the help of us marines. the event received wide coverage in western media, which headlines the day and the end to the has seen euro but us forces were not down in the country. 2 years after the invasion of iraq began. american troops, gun down 24 civilians, women and children among them in the turn of had dieter, one of the 8 marines involved pleaded guilty to negligence. all other charges, including involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault. 2 were dismissed, or t correspondence thiefs, we need travel to the country to hear 1st found the boat that heinous incident. legacy had left. i isa was a town. the very few people outside of iraq knew before 2003. but it soon became known throughout the world. off to you as marines went on the rampage, massacring 24 people like fallujah. this was also

a revenge attack. it followed the killing of a you, a soldier and a roadside bomb here. but the victims were women. the elderly and children as young as one who was shot multiple times at close range. clara, they killed my brother, my uncle to heat my uncle rashid, my father, my mother and my grandmother. the amy survivors. will my brother up till my sister asha and me? yes, again, the military tried to cover up the truth, but was soon forced to emit that marines might have deliberately targeted civilians on their left and the completely sealed off the entire city for a month. not allowing any one to enter an arrest in any one who spoke about the incident. so the issue did not appear in television for a long time, but the ones who actually provoked the situation with the americans themselves. the pain is still felt by many hair and had ether, including mister colored, who lost 15 members of his family. in the massacre stubby had he on,

on january 19th, 2005, a land mine exploded at a place where the u. s. military was located, we were used to the fact that after some kind of explosion, there would be screams for about half an hour, but then everything would be silent afterwards. that time it was different. the screams continued, and the sounds of shots fired by the american military continued terrifying the residents of the city. it turned out that an american humvee was blown up. they broke into the house of abdul hassan and killed 7 of its residence. they also broke into the house of my cousin and killed the aid of the people who were living there . they also stopped a taxi that was carrying students heading to baghdad to study the executed them in cold blood. after that, they broke into the house of i is al gray, airy and killed 4 people. it was a terrible day. it terrified the entire city, the american military, the militants and al qaeda. one might say we're playing

a game of cat and mouse, and ordinary citizens were the only ones who really suffered from this. every day we heard shooting in the city, the result of which was always the cold blooded murder of civilians. hundreds of innocent people died in such incidents. he described drug cray soldiers who lost control as they went on a 3 hour killing spree ah, elephant a 20 years after the americans invaded my country. iraqis still remember this with great pain and suffering because of the disasters the americans left behind. yes, my country suffered from economic weakness due to the devastating war with iran, but life was safe in the cities and in the country as a whole. however, with the arrival of the americans, that security ended before the american invasion. there was a kind of social equality between different levels of society. but after the american invasion, a corrupt class emerged rising above society. previously, iraqis were kind sociable,

they showed brotherly feelings towards each other and generosity. but after the americans came, drugs began to spread. families began to disintegrate. social degradation began increasingly we began to hear about things alien to our society that a son killed his father or his family and all of this because of drugs. it didn't come out of nowhere, but the americans are gone, but traces of the u. s. still remain in my country. they manifest themselves in the economic and social spheres and their ugliest forms. the people of her days have been denied justice. also the 8 indicted sick, so the charges dropped altogether while one was found not guilty. the only soldier to face caught merely loss rank and had a salary reduced, leaving the victims love runs angry. i remember they may have been women and there may have been children and there is a squad leader. your responsibility at that point is to say,

cease fire. let's not take another step. we just killed some women and children here. my responsibilities a squad leader is to make sure that none of the rest of my guys died. so no, i don't believe so anata, and i believe that the u. s. president at the time, george bush and the other leaders who supported him during the occupation of my country, as well as their armies. bear collective responsibility for every drop of innocent blood shed in my country. any rock international courts must work hard to bring those criminals to justice. judicial decisions must be made to improve the transparency of fake western democracy. once again, washington has committed war crimes with impunity. and 20 years later, it is ordinary iraqis that has still paying the price. well, just to pick up on that point by steve's when iraqi civilians were not the only victims of the us presence in the rock. aloe jazeera correspondent was killed as

a result of a u. s. or a strike on the channels, media bureau and baghdad. 20 years ago to this day. no one has been held accountable for the journalists death. oh yeah, me at a bow during his stay in baghdad and he was there for 4 or 5 days and he made 3 reports and for me, each report was a reassurance of him being a safe and sound ah, here with

no disease. kenneth, off al jazeera, did send the cord annex of its baghdad bureau to the american troops, to ensure the safety of the journalists while fulfilling their work, and to assert that they are not to be part of the war. there is a sense that the office was deliberately targeted because they already knew the court and at the same. and joe will an a levy before the fall of baghdad. on april 9th, the general atmosphere was tense possible. everything had been prepared to promote the only narrative that of the american army, jill. they didn't want any other narrative to go public. journalists in the iraqi capital were law biases. they were witnesses of the truth. what the u. s. didn't want those witnesses to tell their stories about what was happening and what would happen later on, and to ha ah,

according to commanders on the grounds, coalition forces came under significant enemy fire from the building where they al jazeera journalist working and consistent with the insurance right of self defense coalition forces returned fire. sadly, al jazeera correspondence was killed in this exchange. and the subtle libya hunter dismissal wasn't fired accidentally unless it was intended to kill to reek and his colleagues in this unfair war on iraq is like many others. this case remains unpunished. he had the hidden and then, ah, i'm people so hot and there were comments coming from the american president describing the civilian casualties as collateral damage, something inevitable, given their false message of liberating iraq from terrorism ish. and are casey the journalist who had nothing to do with this warranty, paid the price to out here as coverage of the iraq war,

had been widely recognized by international organizations for its transparency, professionalism, and high standards. 0. the employees who were arabs and muslims, that did it here to professional standards. you're never going to change the truth when you see shattered civilian houses and killed children with the any. and the military always talks about ethics. but what is happening on the ground is exactly the opposite. and neither the pentagon nor any other u. s. government agency, apologize for what they had done because they knew it would have eventually been forgotten. we have lost many of our colleagues because of this concealment of fact, this. impunity will allege at war crimes and iraq by the u. s. military has also been a major focus of the whistle blower site. wikileaks funded by journalist julian the sons. in 2010. it released that classified summer again, military video, showing a group of people being shot by us apache helicopter 3 years before. at least 18

people were killed, including 2 journalist from the reuters news agency. ahead is for the job of attack or warning that he was distressing. roger or fan for route. why? as a weapon or any 1856 individual to take a 47 west commission wednesday line. let me know when you have it. you might have all up to traffic to safety on the 3rd thing, thing thing, not just for the united states,

most nations that have been engaged in combat, that particularly in this case, which my view was an unjustified unprovoked war in iraq. united states to great lengths to try to justify acts that in fact, we could potentially qualify as war crimes. we would not have known about it or not for the actions of julia sanchez and wiki leeks. and putting this information out. because up until people were actually able to watch the video, they were forced to accept the official military version of how those events transpired. this made assigned a target. his actions in conjunction with those of bradley manning now known as chelsea manning highlighted the fact that there was an information flow out or classified information. and that it was making its way into the hands of a journalist who was published. so whenever

a journalist publishes sensitive information like they're always open to being accused of being a spy, the 2003 war was predicated only false, pretext of weapons of mass destruction being based in the country. and led to decades of turmoil here and our team will continue to chronicle those deadly days under aftermath in our coverage of the us led invasion of iraq at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from great with

food medicine and fleet with next here, all righty. annette chapman's red alert. talking record us defense spending on weapons on the hollow. the military industrial complex winds. when tensions with ah

mm hm. mm hm. welcome to, well, the part one unforeseen. you have to vividly manifest that consequence of the conflict in your plan is the rediscovery of national interest among the countries that are not directly involved in this war. squeezed between the rock of western sanctions, pressure and their hearts place of that own economic and security realities. many nations have been forced to make carefully calibrate the choices instead of following somebody else's leave. how is this newly discovered geopolitical maturity reshaping the entire international system? well to discuss.
