Odd. The philippine capital has a spectacular Opening Ceremony watch for thousands of athletes and fans there is details on those pictures coming up later in the program. And. Rocks Prime Minister has no officially hands it in his resignation to parliament but that stun little to come protesters across the country who are demanding a complete overhaul of the political system now as he says he has done everything in his power to meet their demands but his pledge to quit has create only created more Political Uncertainty now hes held a meeting with his cabinet and asked parliament to debate his face at nation possibly on sunday but there were more chaotic rallies on saturday with many protestors voting not to give up until there is real change more than 400 people have been killed since october and their fight for jobs and an end to corruption violent crackdown by Security Forces appears to be fueling further anger and unrest well its even get more on this story from simona falls and she joins us live from baghdad the iraqi Prime Minister has no resigns the latest youre hearing in baghdad. Well either of them are they has sent his Resignation Letter to parliament now lets remember that he has offered to resign before but what ended up happening is that the political establishment rallied around him and brazenly prevented him from stepping down so it remains to be seen whether his Resignation Letter will actually lead to a resignation of course the situation now is quite different amid the violence that we have seen over the past few days in the southern cities of niger of an earthly year and the ensuing statement by a grand ayatollah ali sistani on friday asking the government to reconsider its options it basically became untenable for the Prime Minister to remain office and the Political Parties may have also reconsidered their support for him now lets listen to what he had to say during a Cabinet Meeting earlier today. I spoke my resignation was essential to diffuse and calm the situation in the country i hope the problem chooses a quick alternative because the situation in the country can sustain a caretaker government for too long. Also none of this appears to have been what the protesters were calling for how was this playing out on the street. Well there were celebrations when you 1st announced his intention to resign yesterday but today in Tahrir Square basically a period of protesters were already focusing on what comes next their biggest fear is that parliament will simply choose a replacement without basically changing the entire political system which is what they are demanding they want fresh elections to be held under a new election law and they Want Parliament to be dismissed so their focus is a very much on parliament right now they are very much they are closely watching what parliament will do tomorrow and that of course they also have other demands they want justice for the over 400 protesters who have been killed in these protesters far they dont want other that theyre not to simply we leave they want him and other officials to be held accountable for the deaths of the protesters so the mood industry its on the one hand is joyous because of this announced but it but but on the other hand many people feel that its simply the 1st step perhaps the easiest step along a road along the road towards far reaching change. Someone a front in joining us there live from baghdad thank you very much indeed lets stay with this story as it on the is a middle east analyst and contributor to the Global Research website open democracy joins us now from right here in doha good to have you with us on the program it appears been hearing that the ball is in the parliaments courts now do you think theyll do next while theyre just putting it back into the parliaments court which is the court of the actual ethnic sectarian code the parliament consists of the very same Political Parties that have been driving the next sectarian driven system in iraq since 2003 years since the early stages of the invasion thats a u. S. Led implemented constitution. In governance system in iraq people in iraq were not just protesting against added i did mehdi or the politicians that were with him in that cabinet they were protesting against an entire Political Class an entire Political Class that have reflected shortcomings towards the Public Services whether it be Education HealthCare Social Services and have even failed to keep a sovereign country against military. Attacks whether it be from other countries through funded proxy militias such as iran or whether it be from terrorist organizations such as isis so giving giving giving his resignation to the very same parliament that is probably the largest institution in the ethnic sectarian kotor in iraq is not the solution in fact it just escalates things however we have to consider this being a symbolic achievement to the protestors this is the very 1st time in iraqs modern history where the people of iraq played a role or pressured the head of the government whether it be a Prime Minister or a president to resign even if that resign nation has different plans that wouldnt be in favor of the demands of the protest movement on the protesters on the streets however it is a symbolic movement that should encourage the young protesters on the streets of iraq to continue what they were doing and that is to change the entire system whether its to be the ethics of her in quarter or the constitution and to get rid of the militias that have been controlling the iraqi domestic affairs. Just how feasible would you say this whole scale change and reform that the pitot protesters are calling for is because this is quite drastic action that they are calling for and they cant expect it to happen overnight surely it will definitely not happen overnight any any major changes such as we waiting the constitution or rebuilding a country would take a much longer time than the u. S. Led invasion did or the Political Class that they enforced on the iraqi people the amount of time that was spent on right. The constitution during the interior government that i was in the early stages of the invasion is a period of time we have to question whether they spent enough time or effort or use the appropriate expertise to rebuild a new country or rebuild a new iraq we know of today there are protesters on the streets are very aware that the upcoming stages the of the upcoming period post ethnic sectarian kotor period will be very challenging that is a very normal thing however they should expect that the very same regime that killed over 400 Peaceful Protesters on the streets in front of the cameras of the intern of all Different InternationalMedia Outlets and International Community they should expect that the very same ethnic sectarian regime should have the morals to resign the there is no peaceful revolution in the world that receives so little attention and outrage such as the one that happened in iraq over 400. 00 peaceful protests there is got killed none of them even advocated or promoted going to using violence as a 2nd option ok. I will have to leave it there unfortunately great to get your thoughts on the program thank you for joining us thank you. There its been revealed that the man who killed 2 people in a knife attack in Central London on friday had been released from prison halfway through a sentence for a bomb plot for more on that slows costumery in the mostly outer european broadcast center. Yes thank you how we are getting more information now about what took place including about the attacker who police have named as a cement car on it was shot dead by officers on London Bridge which was of course the scene of another attack 2 years ago he began this attack at a conference he had been attending on prisoner rehabilitation catherine stansell reports now from london. British Prime MinisterBoris Johnson visiting the scene of the attack on a tribute to those who died and the bravery of those who overpowered the man suspected of stopping several people in Central London to pay tribute to the incredible response that they were on the scene in 4 minutes the the terrorist the silent was was tackled. Within 5 minutes quite incredible response by the police also want to pay tribute again thats the thing the whole country used to the sheer bravery of those members of the public who went to deal with them spontaneously putting their own lives at risk dramatic new video shows bystanders as they take down the attacker they use a whale tusk and a fire extinguisher to stun him and then tackle him before armed police move in 28 year old esmond khan was attending a conference on prisoner rehabilitation when he threatens to blow up the venue even went on a stopping rampage before running out to nearby London Bridge. In 2012 he was convicted in connection to a plot to blow up the London Stock Exchange he was released from prison in december last year serving less than half his sentence that would clearly need to be a repeat those who need to be questions are told said we do know it is in the public today in a working sort of bridging properties but this man was convicted of a very serious offense of terrorism what a serious offense you could be convicted of and its right to proper these questions are also going to make sure that we do all that we can to keep house city safe the perl board said it had no involvement in his release in a statement it said given the seriousness of this attack it is understandable that there is speculation about the attackers released from prison the parole board can confirm it had no involvement with the release of the individual identified as the attacker who appears to have been released automatically on life. And without ever being referred to the board police are searching khans home in staffordshire 3 hours north of london they believe he was acting alone and there is no further threat to the public the circumstances surrounding khans release are now in the spotlight the former head of the National CounterterrorismSecurity Office has issued a scathing criticism of the criminal Justice System saying that its playing russian roulette with the public by allowing convicted criminals to be released from prison too early and this will be a key election issue here as well with police and prisons being subject to budget cuts over recent years catherine stansell aljazeera london. Lets go live now story chalons who is just by London Bridge and rory will cause we know that 2 people were killed in that attack which took place yesterday and one of them has now been named. Yeah youre right 5 people were stabbed and title 2 of them unfortunately died a man and a woman 3 people still injured in hospital as far as we know the identities of the dead are knee of the man has been released so far we understand that he was 25 year olds jack merits so a young man a graduate of Cambridge University is far the has praised him on twitter as a beautiful spirit who always to the side of the underdog he was clearly jack merritt a Firm Believer in prisoner rehabilitation because he was a course coordinator for learning together this is the prison a Rehabilitation Program there was hosting a conference at fishmongers hole that was attacked by a car and was marked on as we just heard and katherines report there was actually attending this conference as a participant is father though has said jack would not have wanted his death to be used as any kind of justification for more draconian sentencing or any kind of unjust sentencing or of prisoners so clearly as father is saying that this should not be politicized jacks death should not be used as a way of cracking now its heightening up the criminal Justice System. That despite those remarks the timing of this attack is also significant because its happened in the middle of an Election Campaign what about the political reaction. Well these sorts of attacks knife attacks gun attacks bomb attacks except they are political events they have political empowerment implications and they often have political responses Boris Johnson as you say the last 2 weeks of his Election Campaign is i think very aware that this is a potential problem for him he cannot blame this on another Political Party his conservative party that has been in power in the United Kingdom for the best part of a decade and so the Early Release of prisoners is something that the conservative party could have tightened up could have corrected if they had wanted to but they havent done that so there is a possibility that the conservative party which has prided itself for a long time or being tough on crime could be accused of having dropped the ball on this one so Boris Johnson has been clear to distance himself from conservative administrations of the last few years and say that he has always opposed the Early Release of prisoners and says that it is a broken system than any it needs to change thank you very much rory roy chalons that 1st in London Bridge.
