assad hashem assad good to have you with us so two weeks of protests why is it that just now violence has broken out. yes wasn't mentioned the standoff has been going on for a while the government has actually sent several negotiating teams to meet with the protest leaders over that time period at one point they even assembled a team of religious clerics to go shoot with them but all of that was the whole deal now earlier this week the sob of high schools ordered the city couldn't station they don't have to clear the protest saying that it would cause a huge amount if it could be given to citizens in both i think a brinkman city of rawalpindi now the government also that attempted yet another round of negotiations and when that failed it seems that their patients ran out on saturday morning housing the police that were deployed to storm the protest site and to fire tear gas rubber bullets water cannon that the protesters the protesters forced back as well but it was all to no avail it seems that they were not dislodged and i was a protest site about an hour ago and there are still at least a thousand people there and they're they're vowing not to leave so a very resilient group of protesters who are from a relatively new and also hardline islamist party tell us more about this grouping how much support does it have. yes so the person who's leading the supporters is a man named cardinals and because we know what the risk really is a cleric who is well known in the northern and central java problems as a hardliner who's made his name campaigning and railing support around the issue of blasphemy he's very well known in that region but nationally he's not really a famous figure but blasphemy has always been a hot button issue in pakistan and more so in the last ten years i would say that's one on which is very easy to galvanize a widespread public support if there's ever a question of islam big a suspect or a perception that this might be the case now it seems clear the newsreels using this and he's got closing on the fact that both mean something that can really bring people out onto the streets and he's using it to resupport for himself and for his newly launched political party that they're equal aback by this man who are the ones under whose banner this is actually happening and again the supporters seem to be just another example of the news this issue to go most border only with it's unclear and moving forward we'll see if that actually translates into political support but so far it seems that the position of strength assad has shame in a slum about thank you it's now time for some of the other stories making news around the world u.n. planes have arrived in yemen carrying humanitarian aid workers and desperately needed point of vaccines but the saudi led coalition that's blockaded the port is still refusing to let ships dock with wheat and medical supplies about seven million people face famine in yemen best survival depends on international assistance. the libyan coast guard has intercepted more than six hundred migrants bound for europe most of them including women and children from sub-saharan africa the un's international organization for migration says more than thirty three thousand migrants have died in the mediterranean trying to reach europe since the year two thousand. officials in georgia say at least eleven people have died in a fire at a luxury hotel on the black sea coast a further twenty one people were injured in the blaze and more than one hundred evacuated from the hotel and casino fac
