Attempts to discredit the claims against the whistleblower. Because the whistleblower gave false story. Flights diverted schools closed to Public Health emergency is to quit in indias capital as the air quality deteriorates. We begin in lebanon where tens of thousands of protesters on both sides of the political divide are rallying both for and against the government large numbers turned out in beirut calling for a complete overhaul of the ruling elite and the current political system which is split along sectarian lines the protests began last month that have already forced the pre Prime Minister saad hariri to hand in his resignation a general strike has been called for monday so i know is that those protests in bahrain. As i belittle establishment for. Testers are back to close roads they believe that this is the only way to maintain the pressure on the ruling elite to resign a few days ago they agreed to leave the streets after the Prime Minister saad submitted his resignation but now people here believe those in power are progress than they think that they should have by now created a technocrat government which will prepare for early elections but those that mans have not been met those in power theyve been in power for 30 years are unlikely to meet these demands because it means giving up the power that they have enjoyed over these years so back to closing roads but the Lebanese Army and the Security Forces are also in the streets but i can tell you people here are uncompromising and demanding demanding a new change in leadership but at the same time there is another street in the country the other street is defending those in power. They turned out in large numbers to send the message to those trying to topple the ruling elite supporters of president michel came from across the country and converged outside the president ial palace in beirut suburbs a show of force but also a call for cooperation. There are too many protest squares the situation must not turn against each other or protest against each other we do a road map with 3 points corruption the economy and a civic nation there are your rights so thats why we need to communicate with you and agree and put efforts together people here say they too are asking for reforms and an end to corruption but unlike the antiestablishment protest movement they are defending their leaders the president s son in law foreign ministers. Gave no indication he is leaving office he is a divisive figure who has been accused of corruption overstepping his powers and exploiting lebannon secretary and structure for political gains. Let us not block the road in front of us with demands that are impossible to achieve today because you will speed up the financial collapse. The priority is to delay that collapse and maybe prevent it. Mainly sectarian parties still command support among 4000000 people but the street is divided and public squares and cities across the country antigovernment protesters are uncompromising lebanese from all sects have been coming together and the crowds chant the same slogan all of them means all of them they are rejecting the entire Political Class of lebanon socalled october revolution is now in its 3rd week the revolt against politicians who have been in power for 30 years has not lost momentum public pressure has reshuffled power the Prime Minister sato had d. D. Resigned last week but he could return to office as part of a deal politicians seem to be putting together and what they seem to be discussing are shares and divisions in the old practice and perhaps maybe just maybe thinking about do we give this socalled Civil Society 2 or 3 stupid seats to come down the street but the problem is what you hear here when you talk to people is you want a coherent independent competent government the major reform these people want is proving difficult to achieve and no one knows how long the political standoff will last its a dangerous stalemate on the economy on the brink of collapse much needed economic forms reforms need to be enacted but you cant do that without a government and its not just that if the Ruling Coalition those in power decide to clamp down on this movement it will be very difficult because using Excessive Force would definitely be condemned by the International Community whos really their eyes have been on lebanon on western countries providing support to the Lebanese Army so the Lebanese Army the Ruling Coalition theyre in a bind they know what theyre up against a street which is uncompromising but at the same time its not clear if they are going to take escalatory measures them sell. From lebanon to neighboring iraq in the Prime Minister there is calling for an end to the bloodshed on both sides as protests continue against the government speaking for the 1st time since announcing his resignation. He says protesters have achieved their goals but now he says they are hurting the economy this time he made no mention of stepping down hes also been met with a delegation from the u. S. Congress backing the if its made by the Iraqi Government the protesters are giving up hundreds of them tried to storm the iranian consulate in karbala south of baghdad protestors raise the iraqi flag on the gate of the building and set fires nearby Security Forces fired shots in the air in an attempt to clear the crowds demonstrators have been calling for an. Iranian interference in iraqs politics. And in baghdad demonstrators have blocked major roads schools were closed in the capital and other cities as teachers went on strike to show this although darity with those actually govern the protesters from baghdad his natascha going to. Protesters set fires erected barricades and even lay down in the road at intersections in central and eastern baghdad as the work week began the roadblocks created traffic jams across the capital preventing people from getting to work some government offices and businesses were forced to close the normal close by we have one demand which is employees joints it is just like us they can participate by staying at home but we want all the government ministries to stop operating we can all unite we all want people here in Tahrir Square which has become the epicenter of the protests there were signs that people are settling in for the long haul this burned out skyscraper has been occupied since the 2nd wave of antigovernment protests began more than a week ago from the upper floors protesters can see the square and the bridge below leading to the green zone where Security Forces are positioned this was built during the Saddam Hussein here up there was one thing this restaurant on top of one of its nickname it has been abandoned since 2003 when it was bombed there in the u. S. Led invasion now its become an iconic landmark of the un president and protests volunteers are trying to prevent this building from becoming a garbage dump we are here to clean this place and settings where we know many people were killed here and you simply believe knowing show this is a place to be a player its kind of all the plays. The stuff on the sally is a University Student and volunteer he says he knows being here is dangerous but this is a revolution what im going to do after graduation theres no jobs so this is this golden age of skilling its like like this dust and there. We are we are just like debt peoples obvious no one no one knew no one know that there is people here have dreams want to do with things in their lives moussaoui and other protesters say they feel proud for their role in what they regard as a historic moment theyre not following or answering to anyone in their eyes theyre all leaders at tashi going to name aljazeera baghdad. Lets discuss this further now with fossil is to body is the iraqi ambassador to the u. N. Now director of the center for the study of the middle east at Indiana University and he joins us on skype from bloomington indiana its nice to see you again one of the things that really strikes you when if you look at the midges of the protests this is just how young everyone is the people on the streets and when youre talking about a population that a quarter of the population is under the age of 25 clearly they want china and they are impatient and theyre angry the question is how do you achieve that change in the political system that you have in iraq right now. That is the heart of the matter thats the crux of the issue its as if you are asking the the fox to set the rules for pretending the chicken and house. Side its a very difficult circle to square but particularly because the demonstrators are aware of the complicity or at least are assuming the complicity of the entire Political Class in the current Political Climate it is its going to be nearly impossible in my view for all this Political Class to well these demonstrations then the question is well then whats next and that is the question and he will tell us a couple of things happened when you have this Irresistible Force of protest in an immutable object of entrenched power 1st you get reform weve seen the office of reform those reforms are rejected and then you get coercion or a crackdown we started seeing evidence of that as well is that the way you see this going. Very much afraid that youre right about that and as you said i mean were not but were sort of in the 1st weve been through almost a month of this except that of course there was an interruption to the demonstrations during the sherry religious observances when the demonstrators went home but theyve come back now after those. In the meantime weve seen the official numbers Something Like 20250 People Killed mostly peaceable demonstrators and thousands of people injured is this the state beginning to run down on actors who are semi state actors with one foot in the state one foot out of the state are they beginning a crackdown will they be the next to try to crack down on the demonstrators thats the real danger because you could have a sort of a generalized chaos perhaps a generalized. Violence is what right here i am indeed even to say they are but im very much afraid that whats coming next and then its the door. We have no way of knowing what really happens after that we can also draw a line between whats happening in iraq and whats happening in lebanon to this extent very Different Countries of course but to but to this extent they both come out of a history of conflict but the heavily divided along sectarian lines and you have a movement that now that hes looking to a non sectarian future so essentially youre talking about changing culture changing society and changing politics whats the roadmap to that who do live is that what comes next what comes next after constitutional change how do you start to pull out that entrenched power. Ironically enough theyre all of those and im not saying i am one of them but there are all of those who are looking to the shia religious establishment which has in the past called for the establishment of a. Civil state but ironically enough there are those who are looking to that religious establishment which so far has the rather firmly on the side of the demonstrators and demanded reform from the government but there are those that are looking towards that establishment to set up base to to to take us toward setting up a a civil state im skeptical that theyll get us there. And given that there doesnt appear to be any real leadership for the demonstrators that government is the last theyve been looking for leaders to negotiate with and that doesnt seem to be anyone to me i see it so i cannot you cannot just come in there because that is critical what youve identified there is a Leaderless Movement and maybe thats a reflection of of the china generation the demographics that were seeing here as well but when you have this sort of movement you do ask so protestors are a catalyst for change but that doesnt necessarily have the the processes or the ideas about how you deliver on that change who does that and how do you move beyond the divisions of sectarian society to build the Civil Society that is required to move beyond populist identity politics that often exists and is exploited in those countries. Well one thing that that makes me optimistic about your last point of how do we go past it is to begin with there is a history of that in iraq i wont speak to lebanon i dont know enough about lebanese history but there is a history of a civil state in iraq that was not based upon sectarian or ethnic confessional divisions the remarkable thing is that these University Students in recent graduates have not really lived through those times if you consider that theyve lived in the post 2 calvin 3 dispensation for 16 years now and then those that are slightly older would have lived under the last years of Saddam Hussein which were also quite sectarian so they dont have that history and yet that is what theyre demanding a return to that era of iraqi politics in some sense there is an iraqi history to be built upon the question is can this Political Class deliberate i say fairly hope so so the is the big question sir its good to have you on the Program Thanks again for your insight its always a pleasure thank you.

In sport Lewis Hamilton celebrates a 6 formula one drivers title and he is here to show you how egypt. The whistleblower who prompted an impeachment probe into the u. S. President has offered to answer questions from the inquiry donald trump has repeatedly called for the under named official to reveal themselves the inquiry is june to begin public hearings this month after several weeks of closed door testimonies trump is accused of threatening to withhold military i see you crying on lists that investigated hes democratic rival joe biden well donald trump says members of the media know who the whistleblower is and they must reveal his identity the whistleblower gave a very inaccurate report about my phone my phone call was perfect it was totally appropriate but he gave a report here cheap but according to the newspapers he they think they know they know who it is you know it is you just dont want to report it the whistleblower. Should be revealed because the whistleblower gave false stories so people would go the fraud i wont go that far but. When i read it closely i probably would lets go live to john henry now in washington d. C. And john wall President Trump is saying look you need to reveal the whistleblower the media knows who are these lets hes name the fact of the matter is the whistleblowers identity is protected. Thats right its in the law on whistleblowers in the u. S. That members of congress at least people members of the administration are prevented from revealing that information and the media of course is free to disclose it here if they want to but the president seems to be doing is running his own war room thats what is press secretary said that he was his own impeachment war room within the white house and he seems to be following a few rules one of them is that he always refers to impeachment this he always refers to this conversation with the ukrainian president the same way it says it was a perfect conversation nothing wrong happened but he declines to characterize it much beyond that he doesnt seem to want to give information to the impeachment inquiry also he seems to be following this rule that if you repeat something often enough that people will believe it hes also attacking you can see there the whistleblower unnamed he says he thinks he knows who it is an in that case its a never trump or somebody who does not like the president and thats interesting because thats exactly what he said about colonel allen Lieutenant Colonel alexander who testified last week this is a uniformed military officer who is still on the National Security council and he testified previously for the president seems to be following the same rules when he attacks these people and when he talks about that conversation what the impeachment inquiry is trying to do is to connect the dots between withholding that money and getting a favor getting an investigation into joe biden by the ukrainian president so thats what the inquiry is going to be doing in the next couple of weeks just like in a lot of what you said that john about the tactics in the strategy of donald trump repeat repeat repeat until people end up believing it isnt that precisely what hes been doing and precisely what hes banking on if you go into an Election Year he calls this a witch hunt he says this is a conspiracy theyre trying to drive me out of office it matters less in fact that the whistleblower revealed and the fact that he can keep talking about. Thats right and he seems to be getting some cooperation from his administration up until now we have had people in flows door hearings from his administration and from former members of his Administration People in the state department the National Security council testifying behind closed doors before congress well now there are several people who are and have been asked to testify before congress who work for the office of management and budget thats important because those are the people who would have withheld the money and they would know what was said what the rationale was for doing that and whether it was indeed to sort of extort the government of ukraine however those people said theyre not theyre not going to testify theyre not expected to testify this week according to republican sources as well and then youve got john bolton the National Security Council Adviser former adviser to the president who said he will not testify without a subpoena its not clear that he will testify with a subpoena but thats important because he is called Rudy Giulianis sort of parallel state department operating in ukraine as a hand grenade that was going to blow up the rest of the people in the white house and he called the deal itself this transaction the alleged transaction where the president was trying to get something from ukraine a drug deal so the impeachment inquiry very much wants to talk to him i would expect that he would be subpoenaed in the coming weeks and some of the transactions some of the previous testimony will be released in transcript form the democrats in congress say in the next couple of weeks john thank you for that john hendren live for us there in washington d. C. Now to today where coles a mounting for the drafting of a new constitution it comes off 2 weeks of violent protests over a lack of funding for Public Services at least 20 people have been killed in Police Crackdowns but there are others expressing their anger in a different data than over up the reports from the port city of. C. All peaceful marches are taking place in dozens of neighborhoods in the chilean port city but. The mood here is quite festive its a stark contrast from the unrest thats gripped this community in recent weeks and these marches served to lighten the mood but they also had the effect of bringing neighbors out of their homes to discuss and debate the countrys ongoing social crisis. In many cases the meetings are highly organized and include working groups where people discuss different ways to change the countrys social agenda i meant that in the past we would see unrest in different Sectors Health education University Students workers women but today the demands from this whoops had been unified because there is no solution within the Current System and within the constitution to address these problems and. These public gatherings are called there are sort of exercise in democracy building and there taking place all over. These debates are also widely seen as one of the most Viable Solutions to the countrys ongoing social crisis of the 2 things go ahead and its social new social contract. That embodies the new social contract chillis former foreign minister. Says the countrys constitution is founded on economic policies that favor the rich over the well being of the people we have put all the efforts on universal rights and that i think is the road where we should be that should be our future. The idea of establishing a Constitutional Convention has become one of the loudest rallying cries among chilean protesters going to such oh you know youre going to show you were going to get together and agree on creating a real society no more of these new a leaving all Society Leave it all isnt it was born here and they will die here. Apart from a desire for systemic change many chileans say they have a deep distrust of the countrys Political Class. Behind us is todays National Congress that was constructed during the final years of to lay a dictator i was the pinochet is rule much like the building itself the countrys constitution is seen by many as a remnant of the days of dictatorship. Its unclear how long the unrest in the country will continue but there is a hope among protesters that the outcome will result in a more inclusive democracy. But.

Air pollution in and around indias capital new delhi is the worst so far this year now on the air quality index a result of 500. 00 is described as severe plus the result for new delhi is double that expert sites like smoking up to 50 cigarettes a day locals complaining of sore eyes and throats with some Wearing Masks to protect themselves low visibility has also disrupted flights and officials have declared a Public Health emergency. It suffocates coffin we shall we will make the weapon better and the pollution level will improve. Yet when the. Pollution is also putting us on the mental pressure. Step we know. Working around we must zone. Where he is a distinguished senior fellow at observer Reach Research foundation he joins us on skype from mumbai so nice to have you with us i was just struck by something that the delhi chief minister said he said its like living in a gas chamber we see people Walking Around with masks on and we hear that affecting Peoples Health on a daily basis what does this do to people to live with this reality. Well i i was in delhi yesterday and i was you know i walked in the streets and on a daily basis. I mean did our health has its that are posing to people but i think its its frustrating. It is dangerous normal life this affected because school to shut. Down you know you cannot go about your day in a normally you when there is destruction in your normal way of life it is significant its a its not only a physical problem its also psychological it becomes a psychological problem when youre trying to find solutions around it and i think people are frustrated with the authorities about the politicise of the issue so there are all these factors and there is a resentment and i and i think at one level you know there are people that i personally know of friends who in the last 5 years have moved away from delhi because of these kinds of this kind of this kind of an issue that simply is unsustainable and you say unsustainable and something that has been weak for a long time now part of it is the serious size of the country the numbers of cars that are on the streets as well industrialization are we also seeing this as a seasonal issue is will the weather gets colder there are more open fires this farmers burning off this all of this contribute to the spike were seeing right now. Thats great and. Dont forget the festival of bali which contra builds but you shouldnt by bursting of crackers the valley was you know it got a license the whole as you said the winter the farmers burning stubble. The lack of any solution i mean look this is not been happening today or like you said this isnt been happening for years right its not that the government or the authorities are not cognizant of what is happening and its not whether its the b. G. P. Its a big hit because Problem Congress governments problem its a National Security and a Public Health problem so you know you have the whole here to find come up with the solution to this and be the authority simply cannot come up with something which is so so so why why is that and if you look at the numbers 13 of the top 20 most polluted cities are now in india its been within the country for a very long time there are a societal changes that are needed their behavior changes that are needed but what else can be done and what listeners can be drawn from say a country like china which has also battled its own pollution issues and has to a degree been able to to decrease some of that. Yeah i mean i think the 1st and foremost. The internal but without drawing reference to china im not drawing a reference to china because these are 2 different political systems but lets not politicize the issue because now it is that is that the 3 were political is ation between the Central Government the Delhi Government and even the chief minister of punjab who says we need more funds for the farmers so that we can subsidize their burning of stubble i mean the fault lies on both sides so lets not politicize the issue then there is a systematic review that is needed and the Capacity Building up of the shields and then to the enforcement about some of these issues about the barley yet you know a stricter enforcement not bursting of crackers trying to make sure and fire finally them but that is also said its also a citizen ship because. They know that theyre living in a gas chamber they know they are getting evicted without the choice to some some of the parts of the country india is going through a Rapid Transformation and industrialization and this problem is you know just going to get worse and i think people are waking up but at same time i just wish its not too late too too little too late just interested in what you said there that people awaking up and while you say it shouldnt be an issue that is politicized inevitably people point the finger at politicians and this does become a political issue are we starting to see that anger appear are we going to see more agitation from the Public People out in the streets which ultimately in a democracy like india politicians have to listen to. That is correct they have to listen to and also the reason i said waking up 1st some 3 or 4 years ago there was an article from Gardiner Harris of the times who was president represent the chief correspondent for the new half times in new delhi and he pointed out on this particular issue and it was a backlash in that debate about you know there was a there was a sense of nationalism that the rose and the you know garden there was overplaying this issue. But now now they realize that whatever garden there was saying was not you know entirely inaccurate because this is becoming a Serious Health challenge and problem so they are acknowledging that. You know theyre acknowledging that they do there is a serious problem today that. The association of foreign diplomats you know look once considered beijing and moscow mexico city to be harsher force have referred to delhi or crank or africa delhi as a hardship or stick because primarily because of pollution so so there is that there is a growing sense among the local delhi residents that thats not thats what i mean by their way. Or you know that this is unsustainable its intolerable as well as unsustainable so thank you again for giving us the time. For a couple of swami there well asian leaders have delayed signing a deal that would have created the worlds biggest trading block a Free Trade Agreement between 16 countries was meant to be c. E. O. That a summit in thailand it was hoped the deal would offset the impact of the u. S. China trade war scott hardly reports from bangkok. To kick off the aussie on summit the fifa president handed out these customized football shirts to the leaders of the 10 Member Association of Southeast Asian nations the bloc focuses on regional unity while embracing each nations individual culture but much of the focus recently has been on how nations outside are impacting our own. Chinese premier league pitching spoke to the groups leaders several nations have territorial disputes with china and he welcomed progress in negotiations for a code of conduct in the South China Sea beijing has been accused of delaying those talks for years while the built islands undisputed reefs in waterways critical to shipping and thought to have huge oil reserves underneath. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi also met the leaders he did not mention the ongoing negotiations between 16 countries on a regional free trade deal known as our step there are reports that india has raised some concerns but some think a deal is not far off but wont be agreed during this summit the fact is that the region needs this deal the symbolism of this deal would be enormous it would become the Worlds Largest trading walk half of the worlds population 40 percent of the Global Economy and this region is also going to become the center of gravity of course of called trade and thats something that would be good news for some nations that have been hurting under pressure from the ongoing us china trade war the u. S. Downgraded its representation here at the summit compared to previous years sending the commerce secretary as the highest Ranking Member of the american delegation some see this is not only as an indication of the importance the Trump Administration places on this region but also as an opportunity for china when all the leaders of the asia pacific you know relate to summits when they show up without the u. S. President counterpart is going to undermine u. S. Interests and also the interests of the other countries in the region and that are looking for a kind of a counterbalance to china. So the unity within r. C. N. Might become more important than ever as nations outside the region jostle for influence scott hodler aljazeera bangkok.

Special status and strip did offer on august 5 they did defense minister was the 1st person to say that the next conversation india will haue will be on pakistan as he put it occupied kashmir and nothing else shortly after the Indian Foreign minister said pretty much the same this gives some sort of credence to the fear of.
