The largest bloc in Parliament Led by shiite cleric mokhtar the outsider must now nominate a replacement within 15 days its a murky and often lengthy process that requires consent from shia sunni and kurdish parties as well as regional and global power brokers 7. More than ever the choice would have to be accepted on the streets its a daunting task for Political Parties put themselves face the wrath of the protesters the heart of course our own home. With the biggest block based on the last parliamentary election we have to nominate a candidate form a government with guidance from outsider we will cancel sectarian and political appointments system to give the right the protesters because the people of the largest bloc and the demonstrations are where the sacrifice has been made the candidate the people will be at choices well.

However there are so fires burning in New South Wales theyve been alternatively pushed up by the wind and then slightly damp and this is one filmed in the. Sunday that brief orange was the infrared view of the hot fire but as you can see there are many fronts coming through and they tend to do the fitful push the fires and then if youre lucky dampen them dime the showers are gone through during monday just off the coast of queensland but the following breeze is still disappointingly fairly cold 15 degrees in melbourne still raining in hobart is 23 in sydney but probably a sherry picture the real warmth remains to the west and its quite surprising the one person that he 5 goes up to 39 about time to get to tuesday but his precious little change has reached just a creeping up of the temperatures of the rain disappears sydney does best maybe 28. 00 now that rain strings itself in this cloud and that cloud crossed the tasman sea towards new zealand ahead of it youve got a northerly breeze so if youre not underneath the cloud it will slowly warm up in auckland for example if youre in wellington on the west coast of the north island it will be persistent rain in that northerly breeze warm rain under the you describe is that but it does get slightly war because its not raining in oakland.

Like the witness on aljazeera. Im back with al jazeera live from london a look at the headlines stories now maltas Prime MinisterJoseph Muscat has announced hes standing down in january after growing calls for his resignation of the ways government handled the murder of jon the stuff we want to 2 years ago Iraqs Parliament is accepted Prime Minister resignation he is standing down after weeks the violent antigovernment protests which have left more than 400 people dead and the d. L. C. Is military says 2 people who were lynched by a crowd in the east india were victims of mistaken identity a crowd attacked a soldier and his wife thinking they were from the a. T. F. Militia.

Now to mexico Security Forces there of shot dead 7 more suspected Cartel Members after an attack in the northern town of the union on brings the total number of People Killed in the area near the u. S. Border this weekend to 21 including 4 Police Officers on saturday government sprayed the Mayors Office in the small town with bullets before being chased down by police well next president is marking the end of his 1st year in office and Opposition Campaign as have been protesting about his failure to tackle violence and other issues a fellow rally calling for under his man you look as upper door to deal with the rising rates of murder and violence against women well that march took place is Lopez Obrador was celebrating his 1st anniversary with a massive rally in the center of mexico city despite continuing high violence and murder rates in the past year he has maintained his high Approval Rating but he also admitted to supporters that Economic Growth has fallen short of his own expectations but. It could not make growth has not been water we had hoped for but that wealth is now beth to distribute it the public budget doesnt stay in just a few hands like before now reaches the majority of the people well alan fisher has more now from outside the president ial palace in mexico city where obrador supporters were gathered. We are told by the local police there was a crowd of somewhere around 100000. 00 in this square that is distinctly possible here is a very popular president but there were thousands tens of thousands on the streets who came out to protest what they see is this failure over the last year they point to the murder rate its actually gone up since he took office its estimated that there are only 97. 00 people murdered every single day in mexico all the talk also about the economy and how over the last few months it has dipped back into recession even though Manuel Obrador says look more people get the benefit of this economy than they did before so there are supporters on side but the thing you have to remember is he was elected with more than 50 percent of the vote which is surprising in mexico and one year on although his initial Approval Rating has gone down it still stands at 62 percent that 62 percent of voters in mexico who believe that he is doing a very good job. Now is the 70th birthday of chiles president Sebastian Pinera but its not likely to be a quiet one because in the coming hours people in chile and many other countries across latin america are planning to stage assemble tamia. This is a simple type of protest banging pots and pans to show that youre angry latin america and italy newman has more on this now from chiles capital santiago. This is the unmistakable sound of the protests. A very special kind of protest. And a very noisy one at that. The question the last will require support. For a pen and something to strike a place. Ill keep doing this until the politicians understand that inequality in chile is unacceptable though in the gathering and it doesnt matter how long it takes i still have plenty of pans left. Banging pots and pans became famous in chile. 1981 when opponents of the left wing government of president. Came out to protest Food Shortages and rationing it was associated with the center and right wing opposition sociologist manuel until you got it done remembers it well. The costs are lost so were part of the best organized protests that would lead to the military overthrow if i ended the idea was to attribute it to Civil Society and women in the name of protecting their families and children the irony is that 12 years later the 1st major protest against the dictatorship brought the pots and pans back in the middle of an acute economic crisis characterized by hunger especially on the poor and. Many assume that chile was the birthplace of the class and. The practice of the bank. Only the 1st. Appeared. In the socalled. Ring of independence labor they remembered me there they had read that in america back. In europe and. One of the virtues of this form of protest is that you can do it day or night on the street or from your home where presumably theres less risk of being arrested especially when theres a curfew. Depending on how widespread and noisy the castle law so one can gauge the degree of support for a given protest. In venezuela for example the pots and pans come out every time theres a blackout or just a protest against president. But the practice transcends all ideologies its simply the best way many people feel they have to make themselves heard to see in human aljazeera something i will. Now to believe you know as the Indigenous People felt they. Lifted up when one of their own became president any 14 years ago now on the evo morales is the 1st indigenous leader polity was reduced to the forming marginalized people but as John Heilemann reports from quite a hata weeks after he was ousted many have been left wondering what comes next for the countrys indigenous groups. More than 40 percent of bolivias population are indigenous until recently so was its president ever more ollies. He wasnt universally popular with all of the countrys 36 original peoples but for those like. Under him things definitely improved she got a pension and a Government Program which helped to learn spanish in his seventies. Before politicians just made money for themselves there were no schools or Government Housing those with evil we had all of us gave it to us. Now hes gone and those in her town want to have the where most to from the i moderate group are worried about what comes next were alice is government help build a high school astroturf pitch in houses here. But for us to do just as important was a new found acceptance in society and this is obviously much work before you can get into the armed forces the police if you had dark skin or just an indigenous name we had to change our names after 13 years of even more alice our children could get jobs with their own names. Even in National Politics its become common see something previously unheard of indigenous congresswoman wearing pour yet as traditional skirts the administration which replaced morale is to set a different tone theres been criticism that the interim administration lacks indigenous participation and instead that the top jobs have gone from members of the countrys traditional elite on top of that theres been accusations that the interim president herself janine in years has in the past sent tweets with racial undertones. But some groups russo glad to see change outraged by moralists his brutal crackdown on indigenous protest over a motorway in 2011. And then hes slow response to forest fires which burned through indigenous territories this year back in what the Restaurant Owner you all are also says support here is conditional on political allegiance but it howet because they give help to those who are from the party but those who dont belong to it dont get anything. But few dispute the overall they were important games for Indigenous People and the ever more or less the question is if those will remain a purty when a new permanent government is elected. John homan how does it or what the hotter now to quote a mamas pattern region home to the largest Tropical Forest north of the amazon but as more people settle in that area poaching and other threats to biodiversity are on the rise a group of scientists are now working to try to save the species at risk from patton in the north of the country thank goodness sarah ports. 30 meters above the forest floor in northern guatemala biologist ronnie garcias team works hard to try to save an iconic animal scarlet macaws are endangered here theres only a few 100 left in forests habitat loss and wildlife trafficking have decimated their population. There were 2 mccord chicks in the midst here but when we came back to check on them they would gone but we did find with a mugs made by the equipment thieves used to climb the tree and steal the chicks at the knees to bring robes. Garcia checks on the young macaw that was removed from a nest at risk from poachers his assistants hand reared it in their Jungle Laboratory and then placed it in an adoptive nest with a chick the same age with 2 young because now in the nest the chances of one of them surviving long enough to reproduce has doubled. My hope is this in 10 years we wont be doing any work in the field because the skeletal mccool wont need to help i hope we can shut down the illegal markets and stop the 5th of chicks thing with you what a mall is one of the most ecologically diverse countries in the world but this also makes it a hotspot for animal trafficking experts estimate that thousands of probable birds and other wildlife are trafficked in guatemala every year many of those are brought here to the only Animal Clinic and Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of its kind in guatemala. Today a Wildlife Police bring a rescued owl to the arcus clinic veterinarians. And Fernando Martinez 1st check for Bullet Wounds then give the owl antibiotics after quarantine and rehabilitation they hope to release the owl back into the wild its a strategy central to our casus success and one that gives hope to the staff and volunteers caring for more than 600 animals from nearly 60 different. Species were trying very hard to put our message that say no to illegal wildlife trade dont hurt animals keep them alive in the wild and its taking a bit of time i think the challenge for us is to be able to educate enough people so that our job is not needed. Legal trade is thought to be worth at least 19000000000. 00 a year stopping local species from going extinct likely keep animal rescuers busy for many years to come david mercer. Voting is ended in a referendum on a plan for venice to break away from the nearby city of mestre on the italian mainland but it looks like turnout was full and well short of the 50 percent required threshold 5 votes are now been held on the issue since venice and mestre became a Single Administration more than 1000 years ago a campaign to set independence would help the city deal with problems like mass tourism and flooding.
