To the program weeks of deadly antigovernment protests could finally force a Major Political change in iraq the Prime Minister. Has announced he intends to resign the who took charge last year says hell submit his resignation to parliament as mama jam june was on the scene as the news emerged and has this report from the capital baghdad. The celebrations were instantaneous as soon as it went up the Prime Minister added up in may be an ounce his intention to resign antigovernment demonstrators but thats to leave a square practically threw a party. The Stunning Development came a day after more than 50 people were killed by Security Forces in one of the bloodiest days of violence since the antigovernment protests erupted in early october it was just over a year ago that abdul mahdi was appointed Prime Minister. As a consensus candidate between iraq political blogs. Throughout the streets on friday cheering singing even dancing optimism on full display oh shut up today the iraqi people are happy but we only consider this as a 1st step we demand the resignation of all lawmakers and we call on the judiciary to put them on trial immediately. The protesters making it clear that cosmetic changes will not suffice they are after a complete overhaul of the political system in iraq the mood here a dire square has turned celebrates worry but all around us there are some reminders of those who have lost their lives during these protests here you see people who are praying for the memories of antigovernment demonstrators who were killed by Security Forces and College Students told me he and his fellow protesters are more encouraged than ever to keep coming out on to the streets and risk their lives if youre going to do that are there no doubt of that album isnt only a day. Just to cover he wants to topple the whole regime its been a corrupt system for the last 16 years a corrupt system that negatively Impact Society and politics the economy and its even had a psychological impact on us a lot for some time and not brought her whole family so they could all witness a historic moment together and you know as a need to shout out today we have to come and participate because this iraq is our iraq this country is our country and this pain is our pain the youth who have been demonstrating are like all our children they have to take their rights because corruption wont last forever. Inspiring words that may help transcend the deep pain felt by so many in iraq these praying constantly not just for the dead but also the living. But that. Well the armrest in iraq has been ongoing now for weeks protests began in the capital baghdad of a high unemployment and claims of corruption and spread across the country despite public support from key religious and political figures but before about 65. 00 people had died in clashes with Security Forces protests subsided when the Prime Minister released a plan including subsidies and housing for the poor but crowds returned to the streets angry with the government and what they say was irans influence well on the demba 3 iranian consulate in karbala was attacked and this week demonstrators set fire to the iranian consulate in the jeff sparking another explosion in violence the death toll from almost 2 months of anger now stands at at least 400. 00 or the body is a former iraqi ambassador to the United Nations and is now the director of the center for the study of the middle east at Indiana University joins us live now from indianapolis finally how much pressure was the under to quit and was he really the right person for the job anyway. Well he was always a compromise candidate so he has been in retirement for at that for about 10 years but the parliamentary parties deadlocked on who should become the Prime Minister after the last elections so he was a compromise candidate he was not a part of Political Party he wields no strength and argument and so it was thought that the Political Parties could control him he was the right man in the sense that he has been around since the south. And he does have a certain technocratic abilities but of course hes part and parcel of the system which the demonstrators were rejected that senate for only one year in office he certainly could not have been expected to you know wave a magic wand and make all the problems disappear yeah and this isnt the 1st time hes offered to resign so when is he likely to go and what happens next fison in terms of his government and who will succeed him well when the Prime Minister resigned the suing the parliament who accept his resignation it is deemed that the entire cabinet has sought under the iraqi constitution what occurs next is that. The president will be acting Prime Minister but he has a certain amount of time to name and the Prime Minister designate then has 15 days to form a cap but he has to form a cabinet and obtain the approval by a simple majority vote of the. Parliament so this is sort of mechanically what has to happen but what is difficult to see is that the impasse that result that the not that met the becoming Prime Minister in the 1st place that in power to still in place its difficult to see that enough short period of time in 2 weeks the Parliamentary Party will be able to breathe not only on the Prime Minister but on a new slate of. Cabinet office. And we saw iraqs top shia cleric grand ayatollah Ali Al Sistani condemn the use of force against the protesters and he also called for a new government so let me ask you how much political influence does this stanley have in terms of shaping any new Political Landscape well it has to be recalled that the current political system is one but you mark the shape for what it was they were children sult in the sectarianism that the protesters are protesting against so theres no small amount of irony the protestors are looking to him to be the vehicle to form a secular civil state but he clearly has a tremendous amount of influence with the protesters and were with were with the shallow iraq. And the u. S. Wielding that protest now ok whether it is to protect the system that he helped design in the 1st place or whether its to bring about a stop killer state remains to be seen feisal a final thought from you and with the now announcing hes going will this be enough then to placate the protesters lets remind our viewers of a 400. 00 of them have been killed in the violence and they want much more than just the Prime Ministers resignation. They do although its people are say they reject much more than the incumbent Prime Minister we dont actually know what their positive vision is we know what theyre against it isnt clear to me that they know what it is that theyre for or how to get there so the slogans of the secular state and of corruption opportunities for all these are slogans this is not a political agenda theres no beat or ship to these demonstrations it appears and youve got a way forward is not immediately present itself where is likely to result in more chaos as it may in the. End state doesnt appear ok final alister body thank you very much indeed for talking to aljazeera my pleasure thank you not 2 people have been killed in a knife attack in the heart of Central London a suspect was also shot dead during the incident the citys mayor says possible by showed breathtaking heroism and bringing the incident to a close Police Investigating the attack say theyre treating it as terror in ated bystanders wrestled a man with a knife to the ground before police moved in the Prime Minister Barnes Johnson left the campaign trail to return to downing street to receive updates on the incident paul brennan has this report from london.

Who i understand are being treated in hospital and of course to everybody who has been affected by todays terrible and mindless events. The police are treating the attack as a terrorist incident the Prime Minister returned to downing street for a briefing with the security chiefs he then briefed the Opposition Leader Jeremy Corbyn this country will never be cowed or divided or intimidated by this sort of attack and of values our British Values will prevail we have to remember that we live in a Democratic Society and those that would seek to silence us will not succeed our democracy must be alive and vibrant. Its just 2 years ago that 8 victims lost their lives in another attack of London Bridge in that incident 3 men used a rented van to mow down pedestrians and then ran through the nearby market area indiscriminately stabbing people before being shot dead by armed officers in that attack they were inspired by socalled Islamic State the background and possible motives of this latest attack on the immediate focus of the police and Security Services there is an intensive Ongoing Police operation down here at the south side of London Bridge people are still filtering out from where theyve been held in quarantine essentially in their offices and in their homes now being allowed out weve also seen an Unmarked Police car moving at speed through the Police Cordon and on to the bottom of the bridge this investigation will take many more hours many more days paul brennan aljazeera London Bridge.

Movement of young people and parents worried for the future of the planet was. In Frankfurt Germany climate strikers to black friday sales in a city Shopping Mall for these people consumerism is part of the problem. Such disruption is a risky strategy though its inevitably alienates some people. But the students i spoke to at the london demonstration said some of this is necessary. The student movements gets criticized for being disruptive you should be in school i think people. I think. Like a lot of destruction but i think its important otherwise people witness in a way. That needs to be summed up. This is a Global Movement but each country has its own domestic dynamics the u. K.

Best talks between the u. S. And the Afghan Taliban have resumed the taliban confirmed informal negotiations as u. S. President donald trump made an unannounced visit to afghanistan talks were canceled by trump in september following a top 5 taliban 70 deca. 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 a cease fire but now they do want to do is use fire i believe it probably work trumps admission they are 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 by u. S. And taliban to go. Haters 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 breaking it down very substantially and will be down in a number thats very its 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 but Michael Semple as some Queens University belfast he says there has to be compromise or more talks to go ahead. The taliban have to accept some form of all Violence Reduction whether its you know partial or global c. E. O. Up the optimum one being a full a full cease fire 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 on the 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 they are happy to reenter negotiations but only if the americans give them everything that they felt had been promised in that deal where as they go on the other side says any americans have been telling them quietly that that deal became impossible because it had basically nearly support inside afghanistan strongly opposed by the Afghan Government Public Opinion in kabul somethings 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.

According to a yet under leighs Government Survey rural spending in india has plummeted for the 1st time in 4 decades experts see the fall in rural expenditure on food items as an indicator of increasing krishan they call on the government to focus on policies that increase consumption. I think this is going to prolong in the absence of any Government Intervention because a large section of our population who lives in rural area so the high growth is in india lets say of the 2000 did also simultaneously see higher Income Growth in the area. That the love and middle income farmer says while farming is always risky the last few years have been particularly trying to be repaired because of demonetization we didnt get our money on time we could not buy the seeds in time and sold them in time and then it rained so we lost a lot of frequent droughts and floods have wrecked havoc in the farms through do you see earnings they need and government says all is well with the economy and if there is any slowdown it is because of Global Dynamics but in these villages the pharmacy the reasons are domestic whether it is too large or too little rainfall damaging crops all the lingering impact of the governments changes to the National Currency some economists linked to the government have questioned the methodology by which the date on hunger was collected nevertheless many farmers and get as village have migrated to the cities for work she wonders if her family should do if it was their stomachs.

Has done so much for Peace Process and a lot of our fallen far Child Support has all come from the European Union to the untrained belfast looks like anywhere else but it isnt and both the police and politicians awarding of the potential for civil unrest the Northern Islands of Boris Johnsons mantra of getting bricks it done has trouble written all over it largely aljazeera belfast.
