The state and pots of zimbabwe im how do with my money tell you why many families are still struggling. Welcome to the program weeks of deadly and to government protests could finally force a Major Political change in iraq the Prime Minister. Has announced intends to resign. He who took charge last year says hell submit his resignation to parliament momma jumped june was on the scene as the news emerged and has this report from baghdad. The celebrations were instantaneous as soon as it up the Prime Minister i did the announced his intention to resign antigovernment demonstrators but that leader square practically threw a party. The Stunning Development came a day after more than 50 people were killed by Security Forces. In one of the bloodiest days of violence since the antigovernment protests erupted in early october it was just over a year ago that he was appointed Prime Minister as a consensus candidate between political blogs. Throughout the streets on friday cheering singing even dancing optimism on full display oh shut up today the iraqi people are happy but we only consider this as a 1st step we demand the resignation of all lawmakers and we call on the judiciary to put them on trial immediately. The protesters making it clear that cosmetic changes will not suffice they are after a complete overhaul of the political system in iraq the mood here a dire square has turned celebrates worry but all around us there are stronger reminders of those who have lost their lives during these protests here you see people who are praying for the memories of antigovernment demonstrators who were killed by Security Forces and College Students told me he and his fellow protesters are more encouraged than ever to keep coming out on to the streets and risk their lives if youre going to do what i demanded of that album isnt only a day just a cover he wants to topple the whole regime and its been a corrupt system for the last 16 years a corrupt system that negatively Impact Society and politics the economy and its even had a psychological impact on us all of a sudden not brought her whole family so they could all witness a historic moment together and you know message to shout out today we have to come and participate because this iraq is our iraq this country is our country and this pain is our pain the youth who have been demonstrating are like all our children they have to take their rights because corruption wont last forever. Inspiring words that may help transcend the deep pain felt by so many in iraq these praying constantly not just for the dead but also the living. But that. Well the unrest in iraq has been ongoing for weeks protests began in the capital baghdad of a high unemployment and claims of corruption and spread across the country despite public support from key religious and political figures before about 65. 00 people had died in clashes with Security Forces protests subsided when the Prime Minister released a plan including subsidies and housing for the poor but crowds returned to the streets angry with the government and what they say was irans influence on the demba 3 the iranian consulate in kabul i was attacked and this week demonstrators set fire to the iranian consulate in that jeff sparking another explosion in violence the death toll from almost 2 months of anger now stands at over 401. 00 area i spoke with the body a former iraqi ambassador to the United Nations he explained what will happen when abdul nothing resigns and how it could shake up the Iraqi Parliament he was always a compromise and he has been retired for at that for about 10 years but all of them after parties deadlocked on who should become one of the Prime Minister after the last elections so he was a compromise candidate he was not a part of our no strength of our limbs and so it was thought that Political Parties could control him he was the right man in the sense that he has been around since the fall. And he does have a certain technocratic ability but of course he is part and parcel of that. Were rejected that said after only one year in office he certainly could not have been expected to you know wave a magic wand and make all the problems disappear yeah and this isnt the 1st time hes offered to resign so when is he likely to go and what happens next fison in terms of his government and who will succeed him. Well the Prime Minister resigned assuming that. Except his resignation it is deemed that the entire cabinet has sought. To the iraqi constitution what occurs next is that. The president will be acting Prime Minister but he has a certain amount of time they and the Prime Minister designate then has 15 days to form a cap but he has to form a cabinet and obtain the approval by a simple majority vote of the. Parliament so this is sort of mechanically what as to happen but what is difficult to see that the impasse that result that the not that met the becoming Prime Minister in the 1st place that in palace is still in place its difficult to see that enough short period of time in 2 weeks the Parliamentary Party will be able to read not only on the Prime Minister but on a new slate of. Cabinet office and we saw iraqs top shia cleric grand ayatollah Ali Al Sistani condemn the use of force against the protesters and he also cold for a new government so let me ask you how much political influence does he have in terms of shaping any new Political Landscape well it has to be recalled that the current political system is wrong but you march the shape but which falls say were chills result in the sectarian islam that the protesters are protesting against so theres no small amount of irony that the protesters are looking to him to be the vehicle to form a succulent civil state but he clearly has a tremendous amount of influence with the protesters and were with were with a shallow iraq. And he is wielding that protest now. 2 people have been killed in a knife attack in the heart of Central London according to police the suspect 28 year old khan was also shot dead during the incident khan was known to authorities now been convicted of terrorism related offenses in 2012 the citys mayor says passers by a breathtaking heroism and bringing the incident to a close Police Investigating the attack say theyre treating it as terrell ated bystanders wrestled the man with a knife to the ground before police moved in the Prime Minister johnson left the campaign trail to return to downing street to receive updates on the incident paul brennan has this report from london it was a life or death struggle witnessed by hundreds of shocked bystanders the man in the gray sweater is pinning the London Bridge attacker to the ground and police dragged him clear and as the attacker rises the Police Officers fire try to get off the bus because i cant and i started running and then i heard gunshots 5 or 6 pops and i see more play forces running towards the bridge and im running that place running out soon as the police passed us the side it was gunshots i was shim it was also pop i dont really know what on sounds out but there was there was gunshots or a few of them from another angle mobile phone footage shows how several members of the public overpowered the attacker before the Police Arrived the man in the black coat is seen removing one of the 2 large knives which the attacker had been holding an explosives belt which the man was wearing turned out to be fake but the police did not know that by this point though 5 people had been stabbed and seriously wounded and despite the immediate attention of paramedics 2 of the victims later died.

Well preliminary negotiations between the u. S. And the Afghan Taliban have resumed the taliban confirmed informal talks as u. S. President donald trump made an unannounced visit to afghanistan talks with tensile by trump in september following an attack by the town about. It was a surprise visit and is often the case with President Donald Trump a surprising announcement taliban wants to make a deal and were meeting with them and were saying it has to be a cease fire they want to do cease fire but now they do want to do is use fire i believe it is probably work trams admission they are meeting with the taliban comes after the president abruptly broke off talks in september following the killing of a u. S. Soldier in a bombing claimed by the taliban talks had been making progress up until then the taliban has confirmed to al jazeera that some meetings have been taking place to pave the way for the resumption of talks the group also recently released 2 western hostages and 10 Afghan Soldiers in exchange for 3 of its Senior Leaders but Officials Say theres still no sign the taliban is ready to give up its weapons in exchange for a role in afghan politics demilitarization is a key demand from afghan president ashraf ghani but hes been sidelined while u. S. And taliban negotiators meet still ghani joint tromp on stage by graham air base and tweeted out highlights of the moment apparently keen to show he is relevant in the Peace Process for donald trump the priority is cutting down the number of u. S. Troops in afghanistan from about 13000 to just over 8000 and to help the afghans handle their own security. Were bringing you down very substantially. Will be down in a number thats very good number and were going to stay until such time as we have a deal or we have total victory and they want to make a deal its been 18 years since the u. S. Launched its war in afghanistan pushing the taliban out of power the irony not lost that almost 2 decades on both sides are now negotiating an end to the fighting and if it deal can be struck it will more than likely see the taliban return to play a part in ruling afgh
