Climate change a new grind of global protests kick off ahead of a u. N. Climate conference. And we begin in iraq where Prime Minister addle of the math he says he will resign in the face of growing protests against his governments ability who took charge last year says he will submit his resignation to parliaments protesters who have been calling for political change in iraq have begun celebrating more than 400 people have died in 2 months of Anti Government protests well its a lot is an assessment scum suggest shortly after iraqs top shia cleric ayatollah ali sistani condemned the use of lethal force against protesters and cold for change in the other ship saying. The parliament from which this current government is drawn is asked to reconsider its choice in this regard. And to act according to iraqs interest and preserve the blood evidence children to prevent the country from slipping into violence chaos and destruction we confirm again that attacks against Peaceful Protesters are forbidden as well as them being prevented from having the right to demand reforms we also confirm that attacking private and public property is forbidden and that property should not be left to be attacked by infiltrators and their allies so its led to the civil unrest well the demotion of a popular counterterrorism chief in september fades into small antigovernment protests mostly young iraqis who are demands in jobs are now calling for Better Basic Services and an end to corruption the governments responded with force if you were protests spreading from the capital baghdad the southern and central provinces iraqs Prime Minister promised a reshuffle of his cabinet and cut the salaries of senior officials but protesters returns to the streets and from domestic issues iraqis have turned their anger to irans influence in the country close to 400 people have been killed in the violence since october well lets get the latest now from mohammed his life resent baghdad mohammads the resignation of the Prime Minister was the key demands of the protesters have they been reacting. Into harir square which is where we spent a substantial amount of our day today and that is the epicenter of the antigovernment demonstrations here in baghdad. As soon as the Prime Minister made the announcement that he was going to be 70 his resignation the crowd just erupted and the mood went from being very somber because people were so upset and sad about the news of the dozens of protesters being killed yesterday in the southern cities of najaf and the city and then within just about 2 minutes you had firecrackers going off and you had music being played and literally dancing in the streets and then we started seeing families arriving in large numbers to try to really share in the history of this moment but despite the fact that the mood became jubilant and that the crowd started celebrating the fact that the that the Prime Minister had made this announcement despite the fact that the demonstrators we were speaking with saw this really as a win for their movement they said this doesnt go far enough number one they dont know when precisely the Prime Minister is going to resign if you look closely at his statement it does not give a date it says that he will be submitting his resignation to parliament as soon as possible but we dont know exactly when that is yet and we must remember that in the past few weeks there were a lot of reports emerging from various officials here in iraq high up in the government that the Prime Minister was going to resign certainly what we heard today is more significant and more serious but a lot of the protesters say they wont trust this is actually going to happen until they see it happen secondly whats really significant is the fact that the protesters say yes this is a good 1st step if it happens but whats going to happen next because the demonstrators at this point they are not just demanding the resignation of the Prime Minister they want to see a complete overhaul of the political system here they want to be done with. Political elites in this country and so thats why its going to be really interesting to see exactly what happens next obviously the Prime Minister resigning for them is a big deal but they say thats one step its good not nearly far enough so given that mohamed do you think the protesters are likely to stay on the streets demanding that political change and what implications are there for the violence because lets not forget at least 400 people have been killed over these 2 months of process and there was a particularly bloody day over the last couple of days intense side of baghdad. Thats right hala and not just the last couple of days of course the last 2 days over the course of the past 48 hours you have the news emerged that dozens of people had been killed in these shiite majority cities in the south and also the and najaf but also today there are reports that there have been protests enough for the year that have turned violent and the protestors have been fired upon by Security Forces weve heard that from eyewitnesses enough and thats something thats very worrying so from all that we have seen all the indications that i can tell you that ive seen from the demonstrators and ive been speaking with over the course of the past few weeks look i can tell you that it seems that their resolve is strong and no matter the day that we go out to tyree or square again thats the epicenter of the antigovernment demonstrations here in bucks that no matter the hour no matter the day whether its a weekend or a week day the people that we encounter there say that they are committed to continuing to come out they just dont believe the rhetoric theyre hearing from the government here and this is a Leaderless Movement so there is no interlocutor between the protesters and the government and thats another reason why theres so much distrust there is no real dialogue that is going on between both sides but they feel as though all their demands have fallen on deaf ears and they believe that the government has not shown or has shown repeatedly that they are not listening to the protesters they believe that they have been subjected to a crackdown they believe that no matter the violence they may face they say theyre going to continue to come out so from what weve seen it looks like i would say that the protests will persist and the demonstrators we spoke with today in light of the news that the Prime Minister was going to be resigning they said look this is just more incentive for them to come out this says to them that finally maybe their demands are being listened to but again they say this is just one small step and they dont just want the Prime Minister to go they want the whole of the political elites in this country to go hala on the dungeon life friends and back that thank you very much indeed for bringing us all the latest of. Lets stay with this story marlon cabala has had a policy analysis at the arab center for research and policy studies he joins us live from doha good to have you with this here on aljazeera certainly this is a significant step forward for the protest movement but the question is where does the process movement go from here whats their next objective was probably there will still be industry demanding for further reforms because that is ignition of the Prime Minister or forcing the Prime Minister to resign after many weeks of but this is bill has the easiest part of this cycle that the iraqi younger archys have decided actually to to start a couple of couple of months ago a tallit is another thing that is really important today actually it wasnt a victory on the for the protesters it was also a victory for the and religious the shiite religious establishment in iraq because. Danny who is the top shiite cleric manager in iraq that the head of the medicare yet that argument julia was in fact also defending that arkie religious establishment because he has been actually existing a brush up from the protesters for the past 2 weeks to call for that ignition of the Prime Minister out of hoping that he will be. Starting a serious and genuine reforms in order to meet the demands of the protesters and the street today actually when he asked for the resignation of the Prime Minister he was defending the very existence of the iraqi religious establishment because he knows ali says that he knows very well that iran would want. To weaken the iraqi religious. Establishment in order to have bliss in thailand. In order to have come. You know youre on your the. Total bill is that iraq a religious matter because iran would want actually very much to be the major of all shiite in the world so i think that was a major victory also for for ali. But i think also an iraqi people will be continuing this struggle until they achieve what they want what they want actually is to eliminate the whole Political Class which has been ruling the country for the past 16 years the United Nations estimated that iraq and even your from oil export since 20032018 was more than one trillion dollars 65 percent of that money. 650000000000. 00 have been wasted because of corruption and mismanagement so iraqi who believe very much that their country is very rich but they are having very bored management and they are having political clause that is more mainly influenced by iran and babs is serving the interests of the yuan the iranians more than the interests of the iraqis this is what they want actually to achieve is to eliminate this Political Class and allow for the emergence of a new of a new and by having by changing the electoral law in parliament this is the next step this is why iraqis will stay in this state until they are next demand is met that is changing the electoral law and calling for early elections in order to allow for the emergence of a new Political Class to hold the country and serve the interests of the iraqis the other than the interests of the iranians or anybody else. Great to get your analysis there thank you very much indeed for bringing us your views live from doha thank you. The British Police have shorts and detains a man half her stopping in Central London near London Bridge parts of the city remain on lockdown and thousands of people have been evacuated so the reports of several injuries and police have to clear its a major incidence and are warning everyone to stay away from the area lets get the latest here one witness had told ill just serious she saw the sense that unfold while she was on a bus nearby heres what she had to say were stopped in traffic and all the sudden i see People Police officers people running off the bridge people getting out of cars were getting off the buses found them in their cars abandoned their cars about in the buses trying to get off and i see Police Officers with guns running running towards where i was heading.

That is terror related at this moment. Annemarie usa we are still waiting on the on more details coming out from the police media understands the several politicians have been speaking out including the Prime Minister who we understand is heading back to london in a bid to monitor the situation and the timing of this really is really is quite challenging in the u. K. Because this is all happening. At a time when theres a general election underway and of course there tensions are a ramping up in the british capital. Yeah i mean yes london is no stranger to attacks and it is that several of the before as you say this is an Election Campaign season and so politicians like Boris Johnson like Jeremy Colvin the leader of the opposition labor party.

This is al jazeera a quick reminder of the top stories this hour iraqs Prime Minister as a lot of math he says he will design in the face of growing protests against his government i dont have to charge last year sentence he will submit his resignation to parliament his decision comes after iraqs top shiite cleric grand ayatollah Ali Al Sistani called for a change of leadership.

The informal talks have resumed between the Afghan Taliban and u. S. Officials the taliban has told our jazeera some preliminary meetings taking place here in doha President Trump council we go see a sions in september on the short trip to afghanistan he told american troops he believed the taliban were willing to strike a deal Stephanie Decker has or. It was a surprise visit and is often the case with President Donald Trump a surprising announcement taliban wants to make a deal and were meeting with them and were saying it has to be a cease fire they want to do is use fire but now they do want to do is use fire i believe would probably work out there were tramps admission their meeting with the taliban comes after the president abruptly broke off talks in september following the killing of a u. S. Soldier in a bombing claimed by the taliban talks had been making progress up until then the taliban has confirmed to al jazeera that some meetings have been taking place to pave the way for the resumption of talks the group also recently released 2 western hostages and 10 Afghan Soldiers in exchange for 3 of its senior leaders. But Officials Say theres still no sign the taliban is ready to give up its weapons in exchange for a role in afghan politics demilitarization is a key demand from afghan president ashraf ghani but hes been sidelined while u. S. And taliban negotiators meet still gonna join trump on stage by graham air base and tweeted out highlights of the moment apparently keen to show he is relevant in the Peace Process for donald trump the priority is cutting down the number of u. S. Troops in afghanistan from about 13000 to just over 8000 and to help the afghans handle their own security were bringing in denver substantially and will be down in a number thats very thats a good number and were going to stay until such time as we have a deal or we have total victory and they want to make it go over its been 18 years since the u. S. Launched its war in afghanistan pushing the taliban out of power the irony not lost that almost 2 decades on both sides in our negotiating an end to the fighting and if a deal can be struck it will more than likely see the taliban return to play a part in ruling afghanistan Stephanie Decker aljazeera. Michael semple University Belfast says there has to be a compromise for more talks. They taliban have to accept some form of Violence Reduction whether its partial or global you know the optimum one being a full full ceasefire but its possible they could agree to more limited measures to reduce violence so they have to they have to agree to start turning off the violence and they have to agree to a pathway to direct talks with the with the Afghan Government what the taliban have been saying in the past couple of months since that process broke down is that they there they are happy to reenter negotiations but only if the americans give them everything that they felt had been promised in that deal whereas the. On the other side so theyre in the americans ive been telling them quietly that that deal became impossible because it had basically no 0 support inside afghanistan strongly opposed by the Afghan GovernmentPublic Opinion in kabul something is going to have to budge to to make this process acceptable to the Afghan People so the talibans insistence on. Restarting where they left off is actually reviving the deal that was dumped on the 7th of september seems to me like a nonstarter siddons Transitional Government has passed a law to dismantle the former ruling party that was a can mange amends of protesters during the revolution which the polls the president but leaders of the National Congress party say what the government has done is illegal as simple morgan reports from courts in the Prime Minister says its not an act of revenge. It was once the dominant party in sudan ruling the country for more than 25 years now more than 6 months after its head leader was ousted sudans Transitional Government has announced that the former ruling party will be dismantled. The more dismantles the National Congress party and seizes its assets money and properties and gives it to the governments minister of finance a committee will be formed to ensure that any Organization AssociationInstitution UnionCompany Partnership that has links to the former ruling party will be dismantled. The National Congress party came to power in 1992 a few years after it had ahmed bashir overthrew a democratically elected government in 1909 the coup was carried out under the name of the National Islamic front bashir went on to create the National Congress party that ruled until he was ousted from power in april this year following months of antigovernment protests the december protests gained momentum after the burning of the National CongressParty Headquarters and. Despite it being the only party many sudanese knew the demand for it to be dismantled had become one of the protest movements main ins. Dismantling a party doesnt mean its and it has to be remembered that establishing a new country would have to include establishing quick systems with those from the disbanded party and in a way where politics is practiced wisely i mean also man regards herself as the victim of one of the Party Signature laws that came to define the controversial public order act it severely curtailed womens rights and which was condemned by human rights in sudan new leaders say it will display. An attack that when i was arrested for refusing the offices called me names saying im not a real sudanese because i didnt follow the rules of the government they said they expected me to be from the south a christian. During its time in power the national. Party left bars that many continue to feel from owning sudan 20 years of u. S. Trade in economic sanctions following accusations of the porting terrorism abroad to dividing a mission that was once africas largest country it now remains to be seen how straightforward eradicating it from sudanese political life will be he will morgan aljazeera parts on.
