After only 13 months in office iraqs a battles Prime Minister addle of the mahdi has officially stepped down yet his succession is mired in uncertainty according to the constitution the president is supposed to take up the office of the Prime Minister until a replacement is chosen but instead of the mahdi is staying on as part of a caretaker government. 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. 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 protestors the harlow. With the biggest block based on the last parliamentary election we have to nominate a candidate form a government with guidance from tata out saga we will cancel sectarian and political appointments system to give the right to the protesters because the people are the largest bloc and the demonstrations are where the sacrifice has been made the candidate the people will be at choices well.

Sure for their cause also. Politics parties Parliament Members say that passing these reforms could take up to 6 months we fully accept and fully support the idea of dissolve in the parliament and having a fresh election but that you have to know that this there are.

Which is overseeing the elections in iraq the new election law currently tabled in parliament suggests an increase in independent candidates at least considerable power in the hands of Political Parties including the ability to choose the Prime Minister.

Links stories generate thousands of lines these protests are saying down with the system and down with all of the parts with different angles from different perspectives just because we came to prison doesnt mean rights stopped at the gate separate the spin from the facts the western media jumps on stories we dont taking the misinformation from the journalism its about telling the stories of those human beings i think with the listening post on aljazeera. Lets take it to the top stories on aljazeera the white house says it will not participate in the next step of the impeachment inquiry into u. S. President on trumped inquiry looking into whether he abused his power by asking ukraine to investigate a political rival Iraqs Parliament has accepted Prime Minister id love that these resignation after weeks of violence that the government protests more than 400. 00 people dead and the World Health Organizations raised concerns over the deepening violence in eastern democratic republic of congo its the fighting in the area has limited Health Workers progress in containing the ball outbreak. Australias foreign minister says china is subjecting one of its citizens to daily interrogations including whilst being shackled prodemocracy riots at young jordans been detained in china since january has been accused of spying or is paying the foreign minister says yang is being held in unacceptable conditions and is urging beijing to release him a little earlier we spoke to patrick person from Amnesty International hes the china researcher told us chinas treatment of young is concerning. For spying this bernard that actually can mean a very serious punishment if convicted. Life even of to life imprisonment for example so i think like the problem is like how he is treated is quite typical of dissidents in china and they have no access to lawyers and family and it makes it like a very big very vulnerable to. High resource torture and other treatment and then now was to what is a lie heard from this Case Treatment has already happened so i think it is something what concerns us most is how we can push china more to allow him at least to have meetings with his lawyers but if we have more boisterous from other countries and also at the United Nations you can help the case to have a high profile and china has no choice but to respond to it of course on the surface they would always like a response by saying they have been using very tactful lawful and very legal means to deal with the case but actually live where we see how. International pressure can help to put more pressure on china. Mexicans have marched to protest against president under arrest Manuel Lopez Obrador has marked his 1st year in Office Recent polls say more than half of the population still support the mexican leader despite a sluggish economy and a rise in homicide rates alan fischer caught up with some of the protestors in mexico city was he came to protest a popular president one year since andres Manuel Lopez Obrador was sworn in as mexicos leader his opponents called for a demonstration and they turned out in their tens of thousands streaming through the city center dressed in white because im fed up of all the. Exam theyre. Doing that he says many given the way all their money and doing nothing for their real people and in our march up were not were not demonstrating against the president were demanding that he do things for mexico voters may have turned out the case to make him president but he still remains remarkably popular because Approval Rating has dropped in recent months 62 percent of mexican porters still like the job hes doing. That popularity reflected in the president s own event across the City Local Police estimate the crowd here at more than 100000. 00. He was elected in a landslide promising to do more to protect ordinary mexicans from growing violence and to improve Economic Conditions but the moderate is at historic levels and the country has slipped into recession yet the president believes hes delivering on his election promises im sure when you know one year ago in the same place i made 100 commitments to the people of mexico today i can say we have accomplished 89 and only 11 remained came during and these 1st 12 months weve made progress but were still on a period of transition animalism lives weve never seen a president that gets to work early every day a courageous president one that gets on with things and has the same ideas as we all have. He still has a long way to go but when you do things differently everything moves slowly as people get involved as things change he will achieve his promises he has fulfilled my expectations. There are those who believe a president elected on the promise of radical change could do more andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has the Political Capital with high Approval Ratings but the may not last forever alan fischer new mexico city. The biggest aids conference in africa opens on monday with officials from both the United Nations and the Health Care Sector are expected to attend their meeting to discuss the goal of an aids Free Africa Campaign or so the Global Response to the epidemic is failing and hundreds of thousands of children are at risk malcolm web reports now from ugandas capital kampala when her Jarrod Mccalla discovered she was hate hiv positive her husband disappeared without his support she wasnt able to travel to the clinic where she was receiving treatment here in ugandas capital kampala. She gave birth to twins without any measures taken to prevent transmission. Youngest was negative. But the beer is had coffee rashes and a growth on her chest only after 3 months when she tested. It and given treatment. I reach a point when i feel tired of taking the drugs my child is going to take these drugs until she dies she is going to die taking the drugs because i gave it to her had it been prevented she would not have to take. A jar is now back on the antiretroviral medication. Started it too late to stop her getting sick in her job as neighborhood most of the housing is basic there are a few jobs here when the only ways to get by is informal trade side of the street many of the Health Care Services that are needed by people with hate hiv aids are only available several kilometers away in the city center even if the service is a free people dont necessarily have the money for transport and thats just one of many areas that People Health care activists say that the worlds fight against hiv and aids is failing to deliver the required services in particular to children in the worlds poorest communities is the u. S. Government that funds most of the worlds response to hiv and aids in poor countries people at this clinic are among millions receiving free medication that stops hiv from being a death sentence the diplomat in charge says theres enough money weve been and basically a flat budget since 20092009 i think we had about 45000000 people on treatment we now have 15. 7 that doesnt happen without developing amazing efficiencies and effectiveness that campaigners say those efficiencies a costing lives hiv testing is crucial for newborns he needs to be immediate but few clinics are equipped for that sending blood samples to central Testing Facilities can take weeks. Government. To scale a point of care. For these children to ensure that they get their results and then were able to intervene in time to prevent the new infections. That berate could have been spared from hate hiv only the right Health Care Services have been delivered campaigners say hundreds of thousands of children like a dying. Drugs have saved millions of lives but the fight against aids isnt over. Aljazeera kampala uganda. A local official in albania has resigned over comments she made about the death toll from last weeks deadly earthquake the mayor of the city of the response to outrage when she said she was quote satisfied that only 50 people died in the quake was one of the hardest hit areas tuesdays 6. 00 magnitude quake killed at least 51. 00 people. The issue of people convicted of terrorism related offenses a bit has become a key factor in the u. K. Election campaign britains Prime Minister is promising tougher sentences after it emerged the London Bridge attacker was let out of prison early or a challenge with this report from london. Only on sunday have police started moving vehicles from London Bridge the cars buses and trucks have been stranded just as they were when the attacker was shot dead by police after murdering 2 people with his knives on friday its been a still an eerie sight snapped countless times already by curious tourists quicker to move has been the Prime Minister sensing an electoral threat or perhaps an opportunity Boris Johnson is trying to absolve his conservative party of blame despite being in power for a decade i think this whole system of automatic Early Release which was brought in by labor it was under and it was under that system the tenure of that ive only been in Office Rather projects so i think it was one of the terms as well i mean this has been one of the reason i think its ridiculous i think its repulsive that individuals as dangerous as this man should be allowed out after serving only 8 years and thats he why we are going to change the law actually the reasons why man can was out of prison early despite being convicted of terrorism offenses are complex there are other particularities of his case including his successful 2013 appeal against his original indeterminate sentence adding to that years of legislation on sentencing and release from various governments including conservative ones there are less than 2 weeks till the general election not a good time for the government to have to admit 74 other people convicted of terrorism offenses have been released early on another political show the leader of the opposition was asked if he opposes the Early Release of such prisoners. I think it depends on the circumstances depends on the sentence but crucially depends on what theyve done in the notes is really not necessarily you know i think there has to be an examination of how Prison Services work and crucially what happens someone released from prison the conservatives still have a polling lead over labor but in recent days its narrowed election campaigns can turn on events like this and how governments handle them or each allans how to 0 london. Peten region is home to the largest Tropical Forest north of the amazon but as more people settle in the area poaching and other threats to its biodiversity are growing as david mercer reports from guatemala a group of scientists is now working to save a number of species. 30 metres above the forest floor in northern white amala biologist ronnie garcias team works hard to try to save an iconic animal scarlett my powers are endangered here theres only a few 100 left in guatemala struggle forests habitat loss and wildlife trafficking have decimated their population.

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 help i hope we can shut down the illegal markets and stop the 5th of chicks with the 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 tropical 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.

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 the legal trade in wildlife is thought to be worth at least 19000000000. 00 a year stopping local species from going extinct will likely keep water animal rescuers busy for many years to come david mercer aljazeera in a 10 what amala.
