Hello welcome to the news our top story iraqs Prime Minister has officially handed in his resignation to parliament. He held an emergency meeting with his cabinet and asked the lower house to debate his resignation he said he had no choice but to leave his post. I suppose my resignation was essential to this the crisis and calm the situation in the country i hope the parliament choose a quick alternative for the country because the situation in the country cant handle a caretaker government for a long. But matty submitting his resignation has done little to calm the protesters around the country after weeks of unrest demonstrators clashed with Security Forces after trying to block the road in baghdad medical Officials Say 3 protesters have been shot dead and at least 58. 00 have been wounded in these latest protests in the capital but also in the south of the country are developed elect he says the government has done everything it can to meet the demands of protesters but theyre saying they wont back down and they vow to continue protesting until theres a complete overhaul of the political system similar fault and has more now from baghdad on what might happen in parliament on sunday. He has officially now sent his Resignation Letter Resignation Letter to the parliament we are still unclear whether that is in fact how he should be resigning the constitution does not really mandate this step in fact the byelaws of the Parliament Say that he should be submitting his Resignation Letter to the president who would then merely accept it and that there is in fact no need for the parliament to be voting on that now that the matter he has previously said that he would step down but he was basically pressured by the political establishment to stay on and it seems that following the call of grand ayatollah Ali Al Sistani on friday to resign he was basically no longer able able to to sustain his government and to keep going and he also said that his government will be staying on as a caretaker government for 30 days or until another government was chosen but he also warned that he hoped that the new government would be chosen quickly because the Current Situation in the country could not really bear care to get a caretaker government for a very long time that is basically the parliament and the president would need to act fast to reach a solution now or what might happen tomorrow on sunday there is a Parliament Session and its still unclear whether the parliament will actually vote on the fire the Prime Ministers resignation it appears that what might happen is a vote of no confidence of course that is very strange because the Prime Minister has already submitted his resignation so there is actually no need for parliament to be launching a vote of no confidence but that is the only constitutional mechanism by which they could be voting on his resignation and that requires an absolute majority they do know is a middle east analyst and contributor to the Global Research website open democracy he says the Prime Ministers offer to resign is not a solution to iraqs problems. People in iraq were not just protesting against the law that i did the or the politicians that were with him in that cabinet they were protesting against an entire Political Class an entire Political Class the have reflected shortcomings towards the Public Services whether it be Education Health Care Social Services and have even failed to keep a sovereign country against the military. Attacks whether it be from other countries through funded proxy militias such as iran or the b. 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 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 pressure is growing on multiple Prime Minister to resign after a prominent businessman was charged over the murder of a journalist youre going to nick has been charged with complicity to murder in the 27000. 00 car bomb killing of anticorruption journalist definitely carbonic in its year he pleaded not guilty to this and other charges related to the case its developed into a Major Political crisis for Prime Minister Joseph Muscat his chief of staff resigned this week after of course he was being questioned by police im joined now from a car car in multiply albert layer who is a journalist at the multi independent newspaper might the Prime Minister resign.

But protesters are demanding that his resignation is immediate what is the atmosphere in the country right now is is he as you say hes facing a great deal of pressure to resign over this case over the murder of. The journalist but i mean what are people feeling about his perhaps resistance to that. Well theres been ever since the 1st the rest of the youre going fine it was now 10 days ago there have been 5 protests and each time with the crowds get larger and larger and all of them are calling for the same thing that is now that hes in his immediate resignation and this is something thats thats tracked back to the past ever since the assassination of or since even the panama paper scandal emerged 3 years ago when his keeper of staff who resigned last last tuesday and a senior minister also resigned last year as they were. Named as having secret companies so the atmosphere here is its quite tense in a way because of the protesters obviously are calling for that resignation and in fact the 2 main Political Parties had. Political rallies all of tomorrow would have been canceled because of the situation. Obviously people. Are very angry about what has taken place they want to see a change of leadership as a result we know that youre going fenech has been charged with complicity to murder in the murder of Daphne Khurana gurlitz yet is there a sense of confidence that there will be justice for her murderer that the perpetrator will be found i would say there is a sense of hope but maybe people are more hoping until the conviction is comes about so its maybe cautious hope i would say well thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on the story with us albert layer joining us from back a car in malta thank you very much were here police in london are saying that there is no evidence and knife attack or who killed 3 people on friday was helped by anyone else as one can stab a man and a woman before he was shot dead by Police Officers on the citys iconic London Bridge catherine stansell reports. Dramatic new video showing bystanders as they take down an attacker on London Bridge after he went on a stabbing rampage they use a whale tusk and a fire extinguisher to stun him and then tackle him before armed police move in. Ill be born and bred and bred in stoke on trent in co beach and the Older Community knows me and they will know you if you ask them dave will no labels will deploy you know that teddys disc that you will know. I know tony said those words spoken by osman khan just over 10 years before fridays attack. And 28 year old was attending a conference on prisoner rehabilitation when he threatens to blow up the venue he stabbed 5 people 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 we want to toughen up sentences for serious and violent offenses and ive said for a long time that i think that the practice of automatic Early Release why would you cut a sentence in hoffman lit really serious violent offenders out early simply isnt working and i think youve had some very good evidence of how that is working im afraid with this case the pearl 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 license 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 spot. Flight the former head of the National Counterterrorism Security 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 al jazeera london. Is a former London Metropolitan police chief superintendent joins me now from us well hill in north london one of the questions in your mind about how and why aslan khan was released after being convicted of terrorism offenses. Well i mean people are very very surprised i think you had a situation where somebody who was article a gang of 9 individuals were trying to blow up the London Stock Exchange you know that iconic buildings in london was convicted up for trial they were subsequently sent to prison but we dont know whats happened with his Co Defendants who would have also reached the end of their trial i think those theres a significant concern about the judgement made by individuals to allow him to come back into london because hes proposed probation traditions were not to come back into london and he was part of the government to prevent strategy which is designed to radicalize individual serve so lots and lots of questions to be not over but i think i think there are 3 key issues here one is the huge reduction in Police Resources weve lost 22 to half 1000 Police Officers and 18 a half step out of reach support star weve had the Probation Service reduced and indeed much of it was privatized before sitting with the verse and we have a situation where the government prevents a as be brought into question and in fact as he allowed that last point why has it been brought into question there is concerns over austerity measures and the way resources have been quite a number of police on the streets but in terms of the radicalisation programs its been a lot of work on this in recent years how effective are they. Well 18 months ago sadly we had another terrorist attack on the bridge on the other side on the south side of the bridge and on that occasion one of the attackers but his brother was in receipt of a preventive grant of 10000 pounds or so the 2 brothers were living in the same house one went on to be a killer and murdering no but were going to murdered 8 people who support a shot by police and the other brother was involved in giving out a prevent program so here you cant if you cant hold someone if you cant hold someone indefinitely in prison how difficult is it then to establish whether a person like khan is still deemed to be a threat after hes been convicted of these offenses well i mean thats a dialogue you know you can if youre basically you dont know whats going on and somebody said they can say whatever they want to on a deed article are zation knowing that the opportunity to be taken off it if i clip earlier on youll be to clip earlier not short the show has been can basically say you know i dont know why people are calling me a terrorist the clearly he had been written radicalized and had and was plotted and was successfully convicted of trying to blow up iconic site so that prevent program has not got the confidence of the Wider Community and weve also seen at least not actually working we dont have individuals who are part prevent who go on to commit pences all right well thank you fresh air for speaking to us this evening we do appreciate it from the London Metropolitan police chief superintendent appel a curate.
