Hello we begin with reports that iraqi protesters have been killed after police tried to break down barricades on the outskirts of the capital baghdad dozens are said to be injured its the latest round of mass demonstrations to break out across the country imraan khan has more. In one of the main squares in central Baghdad Police and protesters confront each other again in the early hours of monday as protesters tried to block the road leading to the square they want a change of government and accuse the current one of corruption a cool that got out to protesters to block main roads in baghdad a major highways in the south access. Police used live ammunition and fight take gas in the attempt to disperse the crowds in the capital but a standoff sued lost in several i was angry iraqis are determined to get their message across the woman said it felt as if you had. The idea isnt just blocking the roads all the people here often straighted so we make noise here to make sure that we are heard a lot about the shape of the days do you want to for months no one has listen to our demands theyre killing us its just bloodshed. Throughout the day took took 3 wheelers have been ferrying take us victims to makeshift hospitals like this one. I went to Tyrone Square in baghdad and the people wanted me to help them i was also attacked by gas i feel down the Security Forces have been using tear gas and live ammunition. Iraqs National Security council has authorized the arrests of protesters but so far thats had little impact on the movement there wasnt the same level of violence elsewhere in the country as the wars in baghdad and the roadblocks in the south the protesters considered a success the real question for the protest movement is where do you go from here once you started blocking off roads in the south of the country effectively cutting off the cell from the rest of the country where do you escalate your demands being listen to and thats really angering the protest movement now it really remains to be seen whether the blockade of the roads is going to work and whether the government will listen as a result of it Imran Khan Al Jazeera baghdad lets now bring in osama bin job and hes also joining us from baghdad for an update because we are hearing reports of casualties asama. Yes weve been able to see some videos that activists has shown us of at least 2 people with head wounds and or abdomen in the rooms and theyre saying that these people were killed by Security Forces but the Security Forces have not confirmed any casualties nor have the hospitals these are activists accounts seeing that multiple people have been wounded as yet again about a violence because of the iraqi Security Forces again started to use tear gas has been its been reported on them been hearing sporadic shots being fired which according to activists is gunfire thats being used on the us so far as you can see behind me these took says as you can see have been ferrying people whove been inhaling tear gas theres a constant barrage of to i guess that have been fired at them theyve moved back about 500 meters from the position they were in they were trying to choke another are tree from yet another point in the capital baghdad monday was the deadline which the protesters had given to the government saying that their farms have not been taking place and they have been coming out in force nearly 500 to be killed 25000 have been wounded and yet nothing seems to be moving in the direction that they want so where does the protest movements head to next. According to many of the people weve been speaking to they say they will continue to come here theyve been coming here since october and they will continue to come here until i their. Demands are met which is access to jobs which is more Public Services which is an end to corruption they say everyone in the political spectrum right now has been tainted with corruption in they want an end to it and they say until that changes they will continue not just to talk baghdad but across the country as well we have been hearing reports that its not just. The protesters who have come out many road links to problem says it is. A sit in including syria have been cut off there have been clashes there has been and in the lead up to these protests there did dying down in the last couple of weeks especially after the tensions rose between the United States and iran but the in the lead up to this theyve been saying theyre being intimidated by Government Forces forces which are loyal to iran is going but they will continue to come out in force until their demands are met ok.
