A curfew has been imposed in the iraqi city for after 16 people were killed during antigovernment protests Security Forces opened fire to disperse a demonstration the army is sending its commanders to several provinces to restore order it says and its setting up what it calls crisis cells to quell the mass unrest but the army is warning is not stopping protesters in the capital baghdad thats where 4 people have been killed there throwing rocks and using slingshots as they fight Security Forces on the streets at least 350 people have been killed in 2 months of violence iraqis say theyre fed up with corruption and they want political change there demanding jobs and Better Services meanwhile iran is demanding firm action from the Iraqi Government after an attack on its consulate in the city of najaf on wednesday antigovernment protesters stormed the building and set it on fire demonstrators blame to run for propping up a government theyve been rallying against so how do you mend been the consulate when it was set on fire old ripening within the job started firing going to we would be in iraq as a whole the right police by intensively on the Security Forces rangers heavily with live bullets. In baghdad within updates. The fact that you have now had 2 attacks on iranian consulates in shiite holy cities within a matter of weeks this month that really goes to show how much frustration there is even in shiite majority cities toward the government of iran because of the outsized role that they play in the politics of course you had this attack last night that was an attack in which the antigovernment demonstrators they got into that compound in and they set. The iranian consulate ablaze they burned it before the attack happened the staff at the consulate they had escaped through a back door were now being told that theyre off the military is going to be sending these security cells to some of the provinces to try to quell the protests we dont really know exactly what form thats going to take there is great concern here right now the perhaps that could mean that there is a crackdown looming that perhaps there will be more violence we just dont know well have to wait and see but also that weve been told that there is now a curfew that has been put in place in the city of najaf for the until further notice so theres so much going on here right now the protests continue to swell but the fact the matter is despite the violence despite the specter of potentially more violence all the demonstrators that we continue to speak with no matter what city they are in they say they are committed to continuing to come out until they have a government they feel that actually represents them theres a job already has more on irans reaction the Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson up us mousavi has issued a statement saying that the iranian government and im going to quote from it saying demand decisive effective and responsible action against the destructive agents on aggressors the point of view here is that something needs to be done very quickly to take control of the situation not just is very much an important sitting for iranians and the clerical establishment here not only did the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini study there but also the founder of these amik revolution Ayatollah Khomeini spent many years there in exile and this city. Is very important for iran because of the clerical. Schools that are there in the history that we share the opinion here is that these attacks are taking place by small groups of people that are being fueled by outside forces western countries which are trying to create a rift between the relationship between iran and iraq their relationship has never been stronger right now their trade annually is at 13000000000. 00 in the ratings are currently providing a 3rd of the countrys electricity in iraq so its very important for this relationship to continue also strategically iraq wise shares a border with syria as well as saudi arabia countries that iran is very interested in maintaining some kind of power or around and so for them this incident is unacceptable and they will do everything they can to put pressure on the Iraqi Government to try and quell this on the rest as soon as possible lets bring you more on the prisoner Exchange Deal out of yemen and as were been reporting several hoofy prisoners have now been released by saudi arabia and theyve arrived back home mohamed lotsof is joining us from that airports in assault what can you tell us mohamed about the 3 planes that have now arrived back in sanaa airports.

Sieved the prisoners of war are relieved because of this. Positive. Signal by saudi arabia that it is heading to words ending its war even though there are many people or relatives describing their condemn nation about the bad treatment and Health Treatment of prisoners or for that they have gone through torture and also difficult times even though the say that the deal with their prison for in a good way as the have been described prescribed or described by by their religion.

All right thank you for that update from sun up plenty more ahead on the aljazeera news hour including whats causing people in the democratic republic of congo to turn on those men to keep them safe. Also live in albania with an update on the earthquake rescue efforts in one of the worst hit cities. In sport the Manchester United player whos on the comeback trail after this recovery from a life threatening illness. But 1st china has accused donald trump a sinister intentions after the president signed a hong kong human rights bill beijing has now summoned the u. S. Ambassador the law means washington can impose sanctions on chinese and hong kong officials deemed responsible for human rights abuses and also bans the sales of tear gas rubber bullets and other equipment used by Security Forces china is threatening to respond meanwhile anti china protesters are describing president trumps decision as a timely thanksgiving present hundreds of people are showing their gratitude with a prou. S. Rally as you can see in Central Hong Kong going on right now and the leading prodemocracy activists just wrong says the u. S. Has shown it will prioritize human rights over big business. For you as president sign on to hong kong human rights and democracy act thats the remarkable achievement of the hong kong is no match for a democrat or republican is the new bipartisan consensus from both the Us Administration and the congress is to stem of hong kong to pyro cost human rights and democracy and not being overrun by the trade negotiation lets get more from sarah clarke shes joining us from hong kong and we see the American Flag being waved behind you so as were saying clearly the protesters are very happy with this move. And i certainly am at this rally was always planned to mark thanksgiving with the hong kong people trying to encourage the u. S. To sign this bill the hong kong human rights and democracy act and of course its a time a coincidence that the u. S. President donald trump signed this bill into law on wednesday thats not we probably estimate up to 10000 people have gathered here in Central Hong Kong its almost a celebration there thanking the u. S. For backing this bill which would as a result could potentially introduce economic sanctions on hong kong if the u. S. Believes that the Hong Kong Government isnt fulfilling its human rights and democracy commitments and as a result these people here behind me its become almost a Party Atmosphere and of course this is in light of less than a week after the citys District Council elections voted in the prodemocracy politicians in a landslide victory so certainly its been a good week for the Hong Kong Anti Government Supporters of the protests as you say the fact that the u. S. Has signed this bill its a show of support for what their message is which is an antigovernment message calling for greater political reform in the city and how how are china chinese officials and officials in hong kong looking at all of this are. Well its a very different reaction from the Hong Kong Government as well as chinas reaction on both or over a similar message that told the us to stay out of their internal affairs that describe this bill is unnecessary and unwarranted and by simply interfering in their internal masses theyve also said that they believe this particular building need to show of support and certainly endorsing what they describe as the violent protests actions which of power lies parts of hong kong seems june so certainly a different a very different response from the hong kong and Chinese Government but the atmosphere in Central Hong Kong on thursday here at this protest movement the prodemocracy movement has been one of celebration all right sara clark thank you for that update from hong kong. Armed groups are carried out new attacks in the eastern democratic republic of congo 2 Health Workers were killed in the World Health Organization base the violence comes as residents protest against what they see as inaction by un peacekeepers tossed with keeping them safe reports from goma.

The un mission in benny has also been accused of using Excessive Force of protest as one of our peacekeepers showed that a protester was throwing molotov cocktails at. The peacekeepers so we are still in the process so very fine all the sacks and Fact Checking the ripples we have received in the midst of all this another tragedy happened and mourning attack by a.

Thats because of Michael Moore whos a visiting senior fellow at. The center for africa London School of economics joining us via skype from kent thats in the u. K. Hi there thanks for joining us on the aljazeera news hour how do you explain the ability of the armed groups and particularly the the a. D. F. To continue to carry out attacks despite the presence of thousands of un troops in the region. Thanks for having me thats the very hospital which the citizens are actually asking you know they just do not understand how you have so many peacekeepers around the capability of our lives and yet you know the a. D. F. And the my mind and other militant groups those cause and hard work and using machines to kill people they just do not understand so are un troops failing the congolese. We dont want to the u. N. Chief software he can wear these but then the congolese have come to conclusion that the un chiefs have failed them i mean we do understand that the have a peacekeeping role and perhaps theres an expectation on the can delete the army to actually do the peace enforcement. So theres that kind of collaboration going on but then if you have anybody who within the space of 5 weeks has made at least 14. 00 to 15. 00 not tax issues really the up your game and be practive enough to prevent further attacks and i think thats really what the citizens are expecting from the u. N. Peacekeepers and give us some context to this story what can you tell us about why the the a. D. F. In particular which was formed by ugandan rebels remains active in the eastern democratic republic of congo yes i mean very very malicious group just basically went to the cos tara but apart from vast recently the have very strong ties and links if they slunk states. There is not that additional factor at the moment actually some of the recent attacks the stomach state actually claimed responsibility for the fact of the how quickly responsibility for for for the reason that back in the last few days when artists are they have strong ties to the Islamic State what do you mean by that theyre out there actually well theyre actually working in tandem. Because they have a collaboration going on that means that behalf joint forces are actually joint idiology with the Islamic States i also hear directly that its actually hes a muslim used to be uganda so theres already that islamist you have this connection. Ok and you mentioned just a moment ago you were talking about the a deal army the Congolese Army then what do you make of the armys seemingly in cape incapability to rein in. The rebels in that part of the country what can the government do Going Forward i think in fact to know very well who the enemy be back within 5 weeks that the 40 to 50 attacks really the army should act on intelligence and be very very proactive for example last night that lead to facilities wh
