Kong rally against alleged Police Brutality and demand more democratic reforms and for the hockey coach at the center of a racism investigation has quit his job bill peters is leaving the Calgary Flames after being accused of verbal e. Abusing a player. But we begin this news hour in iraq where theres uncertainty a day after the Prime Minister offered to resign i demanded these move follows a top shiite clerics call for leadership change ayatollah ali sistani urging parliament to reconsider its options are there were crowds on the streets celebrating Prime Minister met had these offer to stand down but they have warned they will continue their protests until there is a complete political overhaul of the demonstrations began 2 months ago with iraqis demanding jobs Better Services and an end to corruption theyre also angry at iran accusing it of interfering in iraq he affairs more than 400. 00 people have died in the violence. Fulton is live for us in baghdad so simona how likely is it at this point that the parliament will accept maddies resignation. Well thats anyones best guess at the moment there are 2 main bloc in Parliament One of them is led by a shiite cleric but a thought or who won the 2800 parliamentary elections and you saw your home party holds 54 seats and then there is a larger bloc of allied party of no parties now makes it a thought or has been quite ambiguous on his position towards other love the math the 1st he called for him to step down and he seemed to back down on those claims and now more recently in the wake of the latest violence enough to not just you once again renewed his call for his resignation from his office is likely to back a vote if it comes to that vote in tomorrows session now the other blog led by me and the iranian. Alliance which holds 48 seats and then the larger bloc holds around 245 they have been firmly back to theyve been very opposed to his resignation now theyre really peculiar thing about Iraqs Parliament that its impossible to really know how many members of parliament are in each of these blocks because people allegiances depending on the issue so its not only uncertain whether parliament will actually vote on this matter tomorrow because actually the constitution doesnt really see such a measure and its also unclear how the vote will go and whether there is enough support in parliament to back the Prime Minister is right. And what else are we hearing similar to whats whats the situation on the streets. Well the situation on the streets the biggest quiet calm today weve spoken to sources in the f. B. I. Who said that after 2 days of extreme violence the situation appears to have calmed down. Were also hearing from the Prime Ministers office that dozens of suresh forums have been in use against senior Government Officials as part of an attempt to track down on corruption this was a promise the Prime Minister out of those heads made during the early days of the protest was one of several that form said he tried but he promised to placate demonstrators now the thing with corruption in iraq is 1st of all there are already so you bodies that are charged with corruption and in setting up the special courts to go after corrupt officials its absolutely clear what that is adding because everybody really agrees that the main problem here is the political will secondly corruption charges in iraq are usually politics leads driven its very difficult to understand why certain officials are sitting inside it while others are and so overall we have to see who exactly will be arrested on these corruption charges and whether that is in fact something that will appease the protesters but i spoke to one of the demonstrators here and sorry a sports day and he told me look all of this is not enough i dont want them out of this business in the 1st bad but to use an interesting analogy he compared the government to be high he said its not enough to put just the queen of the beehive all of them have to go so even if 5 minutes i let them out they resign tomorrow and if their resignation is accepted demonstrators they really want the president to solve the empire problem once and for all of these Political Parties to leave and thats something 9 that were seeing no sign of happening and its time. To all right Simona Fulton thank you.

Police in chile have fought with protesters in the capital demonstrators threw rocks at officers who responded with tear gas and water cannon several people were arrested the rallies began in october when the government decided to increase metro fares that proposal has since been reversed the protesters demands are widened to a call for social equality of the president of syria has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for murder desi she was convicted of killing 15 political opponents in 1902 the court ruled tersely oversaw an operation to have them abducted and killed he is currently out of the country on an official trip to china the military court of found him guilty on friday has not ordered his arrest and he can appeal the sentence i would tear see lead syria nam through the 1980 s. As head of a military government called rule the jury in this time he was in charge of an operation in which moyers journalists and University Professors were seized from their homes and killed trial began 12 years ago to see and his supporters have repeatedly tried to stop the proceedings they even passed a law to grant him immunity which was later invalidated in 1999 a dutch court convicted the president in absentia on Drug Trafficking charges the test say has denied those charges or as marina hafter is a professor of History History of syrian at the university of amsterdam and she joins us via skype now from there thanks very much for being with us so 1st of all how how strong was the case against mr c. In terms of the evidence that was presented in this trial. What was very what turns out to be very important in this case of course that actually in 198216 people were arrested and brought to the fort and 15 were killed but one was not this person a trade union leader called flat there we made an audio recordings of what happened there and that was and he died in 2001 but these are new recordings who had a very important in the i wouldnt say against about us and why now as we mentioned before these killings took place in the 1980 s. This particular trial took 12 years to get to this point was it taken so long and has taken so long because of the politics and so on i am of course about to say it was duly elected democratically elected president in 22 and so it was difficult and it was also to previous governments were probably a bit acid and to pursue a case because the military was very still very strong a strong force in the background sort of our peers we have lost our guest there rosemary now apologies for that well move on British Police have identified the man who killed 2 people in a knife attack in london on friday car was shot dead by police on the bridge continues to be cordoned off on saturday was convicted of terrorism related offenses in 2012 but released early from prison chalons is live for us in london so rory what more do we know about the attack on. Yes so this bent on was convicted of in 2012 he was part of an 8 man group. That were jailed for preparing acts of terrorism and at the time they had been convicted for plotting attacks on the London Stock Exchange pubs in the north of england where car was from and also plotting to set up a Training Camp in pakistan now 3 of the men con included were given indeterminate sentences for Public Protection but the following year 2013 car his sentence and 2 of the other men had those sentences caution by the courts of appeal and they were given new fixed sentences can got 16 years now as a process of the english Justice System most prisoners on fixed term sentences at the hearth waypoints of their sentences they get less out of prison its being called being released on license and what that means is that they are given electronic tags theyre monitored but essentially they serve the remaining the remaining half of their sentence outside of jail and this is what kept what happens a car in december 28th seen he was let out of prison now as another interesting part of this story can its believed started his attack in fishmongers hall just across the bridge from where im standing at the moment on the other side of London Bridge he had been invited we understand to take part in a criminology and justice events where he was speaking as a former prisoner that was where he pulled out his knives and started stabbing people. And whats been the reaction to all of this. Obviously lots of praise for some of the members of the public who stepped in in the middle of this attack to to restrain this man but as as you mentioned he was he was already on on the on the list of the authorities he was. So questions and be questions about the fact that this attack took place despite all that. Absolutely yeah i mean youre right to mention the. Amazement really in the operation for the bravery of the police particularly for members of the public who wrestles cars to the ground now too. But there was footage thats going around on social media showing 3 men getting into the ground one of them using a fire extinguisher the other using that the long task of a narwhal that was taken off the wall of fishmongers hall and users are told to get to get cancer the grounds there is also cause horror that innocent people lost their lives yes there are questions being asked about why a man who was convicted on terrorism charges could then be free wallah his sentence was still technically on going to commit an act like that this has political ramifications of course because we are in the final 2 weeks of an Election Campaign and this does not reflect well on the government so Boris Johnson the Prime Minister has been quick to insist that he has long argued that prisoners should not be released early from jail sentences he we are expecting is going to come down to this location to to London Bridge at some point today so is it the same all right for the moment rory challenge in london force nice boy. Are saying u. K. Brags it is that the heart of next months election in britain the liberal democrats have vowed to keep the u. K. In the European Union while labor is promising a chance to vote again it is the conservative partys brazier plan thats facing the greatest scrutiny that jhana how wide to russells to find out what the e. U. Thinks of it. With the conservative party ahead in opinion polls Boris Johnsons campaign to get bricks it done could prove election winning and we can get on with that deal not just the promise of leaving by january the 31st but with a trade deal too by the end of 2020 so we get brits down more than 3 years after the u. K. s breaks it referendum it is a beginner ling timeline but one that is viewed with rather less optimism by the e. U. Side so its for him its much easier to to sell people this story he knows the truth is hes clearly not telling people the full truth so he into failed is a member of the European Parliament shes fiercely and he breaks it but reconciled to want mainline. It will be very difficult i mean people you know make often make the compari
