Welcome back a look at the top stories now the u. S. House of representatives has passed a vote formalizing the next phase of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump testimonies will now be open to the public instead of being held behind closed doors. Iraqs president has addressed the nation in a bid to end a weeks of violent protests in the country barham saleh has promised to hold early elections and says that Prime Minister Abdullah Abdullah will resign once a replacement is a greet and lebanons president has called for an end to the countrys sectarian divide after weeks of antigovernment demonstrations on folding there as well michel aoun is saying that lebanon must establish a civil state. So lets get some further analysis on these protests now with more one of their senior political analysts so whats fascinating about lebanon and iraq is that we are seeing a Grassroots Movement that really crosses political sectarian and and class divide and i suppose in both cases its not just a question of whether the government can change but whether the system will change absolutely. And the worst part of it is that everyone admits including what we heard earlier from the lebanese president and we hear that from iraqi leaders everyone admits to the corruption as if corruption is some sort of a divine intervention not something done by those very same politicians who are in charge or are presiding over the country. President own spoken since in such expensive ways about corruption about the 630 and regime in the country and why it needs to be changed and yet in both cases president own and president but. Of iraq are both part of the system that needs to be changed and they are both presiding and they are will spawn setting and godfather a system that needs to be changed everyone is saying that people are rights to go out and demonstrate against corruption against terror and violence against a sectarian system and yet everyone seems to say they are all right but we cannot change the system so we know how how does that get resolved because presumably if you were to see leaders leaving on mass and both countries that would result in a vacuum that would do nothing to address the economic grievances and challenges in both countries to do with poverty in the economy and Public Services absolutely so both in iraq and lebanon corruption is a is a culmination of its a symptomatic of a system that is not working a system thats been interviewed the system. Of corruption nepotism whereby the country has been treated like a party that will be divided among certain corrupt elites and thats why in both countries some serious changes to happen unfortunately in both countries were talking simply about a change of Government Coalition so in lebanon after the Prime Minister resign now were talking about a certain changes within the government and iraq in the same way were looking for another alternative Prime Minister so that there would be no vacuum and in both countries were saying that the vacuum is very dangerous and were saying changing the system is very dangerous because the conspiracies against both countries are huge the people are not buying and the people think that neither the regimes nor whoever supporting them and outside notably iran cannot have their cake and eat it too. In terms of finding those new faces i mean you have the sectarian system in both countries and then particularly in lebanon you have political leaders that have been around really for for generations and decades so given that the the protest movements in both countries are leaderless where are these new faces supposed to emerge from because it you know it might not happen overnight its very true and thats the big challenge and that was by the with the challenge of most of the arab spring nations as they were called in the sense that theres a Popular Movement for change they say they want to bring down the regime but they dont have alternative regime in mind they would dont want what the existing status quo but they dont have a vision and they dont have a program and they dont have a unified leadership. To the existing leadership so thats a problem and thats why i think transition is going to define a serious productive change in both iraq lebanon and arguably in sudan algeria and the rest of the arab world its going to have to be transition its going to have to have to be a reform under the pressure of the street meaning they can have to push laws in empowered to reform themselves and in perhaps split and have one section of the of those in the in the in the in power demand reform and that inform is going to have to be communicative it has to be consistent and it has to be a long term there is no magical formula neither in iraq nor lebanon for something that is quick and that could be that could happen tomorrow its going to have to be a long term and i think the process has indeed started in both countries so given that there is no quick solution to all of this just briefly marwan could these protests just begin to failure you know i dont think so and i even if they are already in this socalled spring. Nation 2. 0 weve seen that in sudan weve seen that in the jury of those who do who said that the arab spring was doing back in 2013 with us 14 were surprised by sudan algeria iraq and lebanon so i think the voice of the people is out there even if it is suppressed on the short term i think on the long term there is no escape thank you very much more on bashar and now indian and minister kashmir special status has been officially revote by the Central Government any delhi a reorganization bill is now split the region into 2 federal territories nervous caused anger among many in the Kashmir Valley its been living in a communication blockade since august and shelve all her reports now from china.

Here this is a security lapse that these people were successful in carrying the cylinder and the coaches we dont have scanners a small station but we have scanners at all the 7 Railway Divisional headquarters which are great that this happened but its been a difficult task to identify people because many bookings are made for groups nearly half of the People Killed were burned beyond recognition and their bodies have been sent for d.

Some of the job down to 0. 5 fighters in california struggling to contain new fast moving fire has a place in San Bernardino east of los angeles torched at least 4 homes forcing thousands of mandatory evacuations mohamed to l. A. And joins us from somebody in a california now what is the situation that. Yes more young. Been a dino indeed east side of los angeles where the new blaze a ruptured overnight and forced to hundreds of people to flee their homes and also led to the destruction of so many houses and as you may notice we are standing in front of one of those houses that that did in those 5 years overnight the firefighters worked relentlessly overnight to bring those fire used. To go off to also more than 200. 00 acres and dozens of houses thousands of firefighters are also dealing with fires erupted overnight in other parts of south california notably the Riverside County couple of mice a from here the authorities also urged people to stay way from this area as strong winds were still expected when dad to read evacuations of more than 500 houses were ordered where 1300 people who were living there the firefighters actually made Good Progress but the dry conditions the strong winds are no help to them as gusts of stronger than 50 mice were still expected in this area in the meantime there are some good news coming from north valley for now where all tory days there said that they managed to contain 60 percent of the fire used erupted since last wednesday. Led to the destruction of war does 70000 acres the earth or this allowed now to more than 150 people to return to their homes there thank you very much from San Bernardino mohammed and ahmed thank you. Now the field position of Jeremy Coleman is accuse the u. S. President of trying to interfere in britains general election to quote get his friend bourse johnson elected donald trump made the comments on british radio corben would be so bad for your country hed be so bad hed take you in such a bad way hed take you are just such bad places. And barker is following as joins us now what effect could this have me whats the reaction ben was extremely unusual isnt it to have the president of the United States appearing on a london based radio show hosted by nigel farage the leader of the brics it party whose sole existence at the moment is to try to lead the country out of the European Union with or without a deal deal still. France is very much seen as a friend of the u. S. President as is Boris Johnson as well but trump has been accused of multiple occasions of interfering a little bit too much in british politics of backing Boris Johnson in the leadership race earlier in the year of openly backing breaks it of over promising perhaps when it comes to offering the u. K. A trade deal as soon as the u. K. Leaves the European Union one person who has been very critical of is Jeremy Corbyn who he said in this interview would be so bad so bad was said a few times i have to add for britain if he becomes Prime Minister he also deflected accusations coming from Jeremy Corbyn on the labor party that it is the United States is goal and aim to somehow buy into Britains National Health Service a revered institution although it has been pointed out that the us president did say during a press conference that the Foreign Office here in june that everything is on the Table Including the n. H. S. So clearly before the election has happened accusations of trump getting involved perhaps a little bit too much in british politics hes clearly defined who his friends are and stephanie not corbin it definitely is Boris Johnson and it definitely is for our issue at the moment is a bit of a politician on the sidelines but still could dent the hopes of Boris Johnson getting a big majority extraordinary stuff that does seem to be becoming the norm in vanished politics need. Much. Out there and up on. Right so we just want to take you through some of the top stories this hour now the u. S. House of representatives has passed a vote formalizing the next phase of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump testimonies will now be open to the public instead of being held behind closed doors inquiries focused on allegations trump pressured ukraine to investigate his political rival joe biden trump has called it the greatest witch hunt in u. S. History i do joe castro has mall this was the 1st time that members of congress were asked to actually go on the record with a vote that in practice continues basically whats been going on this impeachment inquiry by its significance is that really it was a vote in favor or against the impeachment inquiry and as expected this fell deeply along partisan lines there were there were 2 notable defections though from the democratic side those were members of congress who are from trump friendly districts democrats who perhaps are fearful of they had voted to continue the inquiry that they would pay for it in their own reelection campaigns iraqs president has vowed to hold early elections in an attempt to quell weeks of violent demonstrations which of rock the capital and several cities in the south and a televised address barham saleh also said Prime Minister Abdullah Abdullah he is prepared to resign after a replacement is agreed within 200 people have been killed since the unrest began at the beginning of the month meanwhile lebanons president says the country must change from a sectarian state to a civil one this is antigovernment protests continue in the capital calling for political leaders to resign ominous assad hariri quit on choose day but hes been asked by the president to stay on as caretaker until the new government is fully formed. And at least 70 people have been killed after a large fire tore through 3 carriages of a moving train in pakistan thought the blaze was caused by a gas stove on board a train was making its way from karachi to just outside of islamabad survivors say it took nearly 20 minutes for the train to stop. The headlines on aljazeera the stream is coming up next and then more news after that about 5 minutes time. Welcome to the stream politicians around the u. K. Say they are facing constant abuse both online and face to face as the atmosphere around proxy grows more toxic for me ok. As the u. K. Prepares for a general election well look at the impact of intimidation on elected representatives and what it means for u. K. Democracy join the conversation through twitter and you tube. Members of the u. K. Parliament say they are subject to daily abuse threats and intimidation from opponents and even some of their constituents as people remain at odds over brocks said alice future direction of the country reports of abuse suffered by m. P. s and other elected officials particularly women have risen dramatically since the 2016 brecks at referendum a parliamentary report says the problem is now commonplace and undermines politicians upwards to represent the people on wednesday culture secretary Mickey Morgan declared she will not seek reelection after suffering abuse and that her and her family a day earlier liberal democrat m. P. Heidi allen announced she will stand down and she is exhausted by the personal abuse she has suffered on mine and in the street from all of this were joined from romsey hampshire by Caroline Oakes shes a conservative member of Parliament Shows diseases a Labor Party Councillor for Oxford City Council she is also code vice chair of the fabian Womens Network she joins us from manchester can lead better is ambassador at the Jo Cox Foundation an organization working with communities to build a more Tolerant Society she is near the town of keaton in West Yorkshire hello ladies good to have you i wish it was over a better conversation that were about to have i have to show you or they still i am sure in your various different work you have seen this Jess Phillips. As an m p she says here this is so chilling im not scared of an election i am scared i might be hurt or killed and just show you what jess describes herself as a labor m. P. For Birmingham Yardley and then just down here saudi unseemly and grotesque according to a little man on the internet that is alluding to some of the behavior thats happening on social around politicians came you happen to know that this isnt just Online Harassment for jess things that actually happened offline as well can you tell us a little bit more what you know. Yeah absolutely i mean you know to start with the only reason that im doing this this evening is because i know to my very day a personal cost where this level of abuse and intimidation can lead cox was the british politician who was murdered on the street in june 26th just prior to the referendum and joan was my sister and i live and i feel the pain of that day every single day of my life and that was a very brief period of time after joe was killed where people said a lot of the right things about how we have to do things differently and we should be more kinder and more compassionate in our politics and that lasted for a very short period of time within weeks of joe been killed things descended into the toxic kind of debate that we see now and its definitely got worse in the 3 and a half years since that time so i know Jess Phillips i know i know lots of m. P. s have got to know lots of m. P. s some of who knew joe and some of whom didnt and the level of abuse and intimidation they are facing at the moment is unprecedented and very very worrying and its very difficult and im aware that its difficult for me to be objective and i am in danger of being accused of scamming grain but for these women in particular when theyre but men as well this is their reality and they are very very scared about their safety can we thank you for sharing reliving that for us on line that so many people say what it is that youre referencing you talked about a toxic debate getting worse people online say part of that is because the rise of social media and the fact that so much of that debate is happening online so i want to direct all of your attention to this article in the conversation the headline the people who abuse impedes online and one of the writers of that piece sent us a video comment in it he talks about the kind of people that take to the web take to twitter to spew this abuse this is Liam Mclaughlin hes a researcher at the university of south and in manchester and heres what he says. So what do we know about people who abuse and hes online firstly we know that they dont wake up in the morning and think theyre going to abuse an n. P. C. What they do is quite reactionary in nature theyll see a tweak on their feet in response to that or the see something in the news or theyll see how to constipate interest in a scene the most abuse comes in the form to reply to an m. P. s tweet or it spikes massively whenever brets its being debated in the house of commons. Caroline i give out went to you because you told our producers ahead of the show that you have your notifications for your social accounts turned off why is that. So that was actually a friend of mine a colleague did that for me i was the immigration minister for 18 months and the level of abuse i was getting online well so horrific and i gave my phone to a friend in the house of commons and she just filled with it for about 3 minutes until they got notifications gone these people are not going to trouble you anymore and that is one strategy to deal with it simply turn off the notifications that look and i have some really brilliant dedicated staff who will always alert to me and more importantly the police to when there is a direct threat but i also have an amazing 21 year old daughter who sometimes shell send me a text message in the dead of night that just says i love you mommy and in her world that is code for the for the she knows im taking a load of abuse online and she just wants me to know that there are good people out there to my kind that there are people who say well this is on line say what you did you tell an education you dont have to repeat but this isnt just a piece and harassment that is happening online can you give us a little glimpse of your offline life as well you know so i think thats a really important point to make its its easier to ignore it when its online and i take the view its your experts this is sad people alone in their bedrooms late at night to send online use and theyre quite easy to ignore when somebody walks up to you in the marketplace or rumsey which is the beautiful market town in hampshire and says youre a traitor who deserves to be shot that enters the real world that leaves you feeling afraid and its great to be with kim this evening because although i didnt know joe well i knew that joe cox was a kind person a person who whenever she reached out to me in the house of commons if id made a speech the. She thought was ok she i can remember her due to me she reached out to touch my whole staircase and separates the church and you know that was for somebody who i really didnt know to work and sadly didnt have a chance to get over and you suddenly hear a gentleman that melted you say to you in your own constituency the town you grew up in you deserve to be shot and you think its 3 years since a colleague of mine was shot. What sort of level of political discourse do we now have that just because i might disagree with that man on brets that he thinks i need to be killed late is that this this keeps occurring to me as im watching the sort of things that youre going for and youre experiencing what is going on in the u. K. That somebody would come up and say that in the street. I think whats going on is that i respectfully cited faces of misfortune the if be normalized be normalized by people who need ships who are all using very talk. Racist language and this is the norm a lot and. I honestly was lucky enough to have the job of keeping those i want to show for 5 years and she was one of the kindest most like to sobriety and women other than at the present waterfront and you know what happened to her should have been the moment when people actually pulled back a stop to thinking and doing but im not. And if we just look at you know the United States of america when youve got a man who is being the president who has the type of access to the documentary towards women and also he would u. K. You know as a principle with the woman the fact that my Prime Minister that amount of good luck to be the Prime Minister u. K. By all to me being 50 the talk of language fijis with minority women is just not acceptable and i think if you take a cue from that but i also think the point that you make our lungs up the tree when youve got people why did god to keep old. Routing hate it they just be in my people are living it may just seem like it was actually just from a fight it was against women and it builds from that and i think often were told to shrug ships off and to kind of just get on with it well im sorry which is not i think a lot more not nice to be done to out people who are going out of their way to spread hey fred edition from ations and they ought to be targeting women are specifically the targeting minority women i met didnt you know. How did i well i would also want to also i wanted i think in terms of of politicians and what politicians can do to improve things you know what shall i say and how i said. About joe is really heartwarming to hear and theyre absolutely right you couldnt meet a kind of person that doesnt mean that joe was afraid of robust passionate debate and would certainly let you know what her opinions were on things but she always did it in a polite and respectful manner and i think this is where politicians have to step up and understand that they also have a very Important Role to play in terms of how they behave and how they speak to each other and its fair to say in the past few weeks weve seen some pretty poor behavior from some politicians and again for me this is across the political spectrum and its across the braggs that divide so i think its really important to not just look at people who are who are giving a politician time hes also equally wrong but politicians have to think about their role in this as indeed do the media and journalists and all the people in how they report things because i think the only way things will change is if we take this holistic approach and we all think about our responsibility because i understand the anger and frustration that people feel i am extremely angry about whats happened to my family but i am not giving into the anger i am channeling the anger and doing something positive to create a positive legacy for joe in terms of bringing people together we all have to change if anything will change carolyn i want to direct something at you because im so glad that just made the point she made because there are people in our audience making that it exact point right now so this is dave and id like to get your thoughts on a few peoples thoughts that run along the same line dave says while it is totally unacceptable its because the m. P. s are ignoring peoples wishes and breaking promises another person on twitter barry reed says citizens have suffered at the hands of egos of politicians for hundreds of years well paid and inept why wouldnt the population finally be tired and angry at the status quo and one more ill share from you tube someone watching live over there writes in to say that he believes this theres cause for this because are we not allowed to be angry with m. P. s. Its room over on you tube what would you say to people with that perspective so i think its perfectly legitimate to be angry i think its perfectly ok to have were past discussions and debates about what has gone wrong with brets that one havent managed to deliver it after all of these years but i think we have to make our political discourse of a much higher caliber i think we have to play the role not a man or woman and i think we have to make sure that we are careful about the language we use thats critically important and people have heard me in the house of commons calling out colleagues that have used careless language that have not thought about the impact of the words they using and what might seem ok to say traitor in one breath to pretend that people have somehow betrayed the population actually the 650 members of parliament in the house of commons each one of whom is trying their best to do the best for their own constituents of course you dont look great you know thats the beauty of democracy they have to agree but i think its really wrong to say that were deliberately trying to frustrate the will of the people were in ect actually some of the people that you will meet in the house of commons in the most brilliant intelligent caring hardworking individuals and to try and portray all of us told us all with one brush is just very wrong and i think im kim you mentioned the media earlier and the me a lot of these cues are being taken from the extreme language should be news but i think to lead so when you splash the word traitor across the front page of a leading newspaper well of course and have an impact of course people are going to knock that language a big opening that the book and you know that the 2 tweet that you just read out are find it interesting that 2 men are giving those lunch or women a common thing as well but i think its very relevant because anger is traditionally a thing of the math and in trait now mostly women are actually different very clear but i think a lot of men that im able to. Expressed views without showing anger now its completely legitimate to be angry its not legitimate to be racist homophobic this origin is issued the right to tell women m. P. s on line that youre going to go to them and that thats no im going that is criminal and that goes way beyond anger and i think we need to be really clear about how we talk about race issues now refrain and also just want to add one of final thing which is i go out on the doorstep i knock on doors on a regular basis ive been subject to a lot of very angry people and 9 times out of hand they are men and they say things that i think they would never say to anyone. In their own lives theyve actually pulled back and its not hard love a conversation going from being very very unusual very language a very charged them call back and they calm down but part of the reason right is because all i am off the big arm with and im also willing to hold a dialogue with them and i have very Uncomfortable Conversations with them but its a 2 way street because if we just shut everyone down when theyre and we get to. Our leaders then we give our audience some indication you are polite courteous civilized people so youre not using the language that is being used against you but his undernet sunbath and she is an m. P. She is lamenting at how many women now are standing down from their m. P. s role and she shared a little while ago an email message from one of her constituents she brought out some of the offending words all of them what is the point in having a 2nd referendum you stupid and you remain m. P. s cannot on of the 1st one its good use no confidence vote women should be in politics it goes on and on and on that is just one example of the how received feedback that you are getting from your constituents if you are an m. P. Let me introduce your audience to joe swinton she is the new leader of the liberal democrats and shes not saying its the media as you are shyster she is actually saying its m. P. s its politicians to blame as well lets have a listen. I fear that the public watching today will perhaps take the view that this host does not take sufficiently seriously threats of violence we have had the attorney general area today joke about wife beating and i may our guy today have reported to the police a threat against my own child that has been dismissed as somebody mr speaker this is a disgraceful state of affairs and we must be able to find a way to conduct ourselves questioning. Him the joy Caucus Foundation is helping people have better dialogue even if we disagree we can still talk to each other what has happened to m. P. s where they dont seem to be out to talk to each other well i think probably like the rest of us they are frustrated and they are angry and it will spin credibly frustrating situation to be having to be so obsessed with one issue when you want to be focused on the things that the country cares about i mean what we do through through Just Foundation we try to bring people to together we do a National Annual campaign in the u. K. Called the great get together and we encourage people to come together in communities up and down the country on what would have been joes birthday and we do that in june and its a very important weekend and actually what it shows is that most people do want an opportunity to find some Common Ground and to reunite with people in their local areas but what i would say in terms of in terms of what joe spencer was saying there i mean to be fair to her she was pointing out the problem within parliament wasnt just blaming politicians yeah and i think again until we start taking this holistic approach nothing will change so politicians need to look at the way that theyre speaking to each other absolutely and but again as do the rest of us and the media again pick you know how much i said what i found in my very short period of time doing media stuff which im still not under present good hat or anything like that but is is they do they do want extreme opinions so often you know i try and take a view where i try and see all sides of the argument. So suddenly you end up in the sort of beige space in the middle one thats more exciting for the journalists is that they want people who are on the extreme ends of the debates so i think i would encourage the media to stop thinking about how they can take them all balanced view of things you know and getting people who might not be saying things that are going to make headlines so thats what i was saying to them in terms of the medias role i want to play video comment from someone whos also part of this conversation a different way shes part of an organization that addresses Online Harassment and she sent us this comment have a listen the women of color in politics are disproportionately impacted by online abuse and harassment and a study by Amnesty International and ellen a our last year found that female politicians and journalists in the study who were black were 84 percent more likely to be mentioned in abusive tweets and white women and asian women were most likely to be mentioned in tweets that contained racial ethnic or religious letters and the result of all of this is that online if you surats our democracy by silencing and censoring the most marginalized voices in society it means that women and women of color in particular are just on able to freely and equally express themselves online without fear of violence or abuse. So shes talking about when to you because as a woman of color you already mentioned islamophobia how do you think those issues affected you differently than they might other polys of yours well they affect me deeply in personally and they affect other women of color particularly black women are very clear about that and im president of levels of hate we already know that when you look at the abuse that directed towards iran over the 2nd and so if this hate children line is the reflection of the hate that thats out there in real life as well so its kind of its a mirror you know its like a part of whats out there in real life and i think people just become more confident that they can go online because they can be anonymous and so if europe is the full minority like me for example or a job i find that people think its ok to watch emails to me to abuse my space i mean i could be talking about housing for example and i would be a tranche of emails and again usually find by many as they can and theyll be talking about surely a little bit about actually end if you talk about violence against women and while ive been talking about housing so that whatever i do they will go back to those tribes about muslim women or just as jewish women i explain in the same thing as well and its deliberately garbage dump 5 birth is done to minimize birth and not to make us actually just want to pack up and walk away and when im going to do that because we get on ship you and to this country while these people are busy trying to pull this country down. And you know i think that was really obvious from the tweet that antoinette was ill the evil act and that said women cant think under pressure you have and that is absolutely a tactic to try and shut women up a step and go away to women youre not clever enough to think when things were difficult and you do you really do have to stare at the sort of person that thinks thats ok to do. I hold those attitudes to a composer those attitudes publicly but i should alter the media culture and the political culture in labels those people because thats the messaging that theyre getting from Mainstream Media and from many more mainstream publications so you know it all even to each other is a beast thats been doing the reading its now clear and this is why if theyre dangerous but theres a lot of hope out there i just want it not very clearly and while i think women are. All the child or the network the women that are coming together you know they do behind the scenes work theyre doing work on this as well and so what id say to any woman in particular is watching this if you love to do this go and do it dont let anyone but you.
