Tens of thousands of tunisians have taken part in fresh protests against austerity, on the day that the country marks the seventh anniversary of the uprising which led to the arab spring. But theres been no repeat of last weeks violence which resulted in more than 800 arrests. Flag waving demonstrators chanted Anti Government slogans in the capital tunis, alongside pro government crowds marking the ousting of tunisias former leader seven years ago. That revolt sparked uprisings across the arab world. Our correspondent mark lowen reports from tunis. A rallying cry by tunisians that their revolution should not be in vain. Seven years since toppling their dictator, the cradle of the arab spring has not fallen silent. They called for the basics jobs and a better life. Anger burned last week amid plans to raise prices and taxes, to satisfy tunisias lenders. More than 800 people were arrested and a protester died. Shots and government buildings were torched. Poorer parts of the country feel the promise of change has died. Nine governments havent eased economic pain. Youth unemployment is over 35 with terror attacks, tourism plummeted. The prices are so high, i had to borrow this money to survive, this woman told us. We dont have anything, we are in need, we cant live. Oil, sugar, even rubbish bags are too expensive now. Were miserable. Ahmed was detained for two days on suspicion of fermenting the protests, which he denies. The government says theyre destroying state. He believes the revolution didnt kill off the old regime. Translation we were full of hope in 2011 that we could build a country where people live with dignity and rights but we are more and more in a dead end and under were tests we are met by a police state that doesnt accept an alternative view. Ina bid accept an alternative view. In a bid to quell the protests, the g e efts in a bid to quell the protests, the geefts announced a welfare package, raising benefits and improving health care. Seven yea rs health care. Seven years on, tunisias commemoration is bitter sweet. Theres pride that this country became a parliamentary democracy of some sort. But frustration, too, that the hopes of 2011 for comprehensive change and prosperity for all, have faded. Tunisia was held up as the success of the arab spring but its shaky. Revolutionly zeal remains, even if the optimism of that time is a distant memory. We have heard further about what the protests have been about. The rallies we saw today were split into two groups. We mainly saw people come out in large numbers to commemorate the anniversary of the overthrow of tunisias former president. But, of course, what has happened, the past week, can with the protests against the new financial law, introducing austerity measures in the country, we also saw large numbers take to the streets andjoin large numbers take to the streets and join the federal rally to say no against the financial law. And of course, with this anniversary, people must be focussed on whether they feel, you know, that the arab spring has delivered change for the better or not. Indeed. And, you know, i think any tunisian you speak to will tell you that their lives are not any better than it was under benalily. That said, they dont feel like all hope was lost, although many will say they have lost hope. This is why some will explain theyve taken to the streets this week and this is why they have taken to the streets before. Tunisia has seen several bouts of protests in the last two and a half years, certainly since i have been here. Some of them much worse and much more the some which led to much more the some which led to much more violence than we have seen in the past week and lasted for weeks. It not to a point, once, i recall, when the government imposed a cu rfew, when the government imposed a curfew, not just in when the government imposed a curfew, notjust in other province, but also in the capat that, tunis. Tunisians continued to take to the streets for the same reasons. Its eitherjobs streets for the same reasons. Its either jobs because unemployment streets for the same reasons. Its eitherjobs because unemployment is still at a very high rate. And its because they see the government has not fulfilled a lot of the are promises its made over the years and theyve had nine governments since then, all promising the same things and ultimately not fulfilling them. What they are asking for today is again, an improvement to their lives, especially in the other provinces and marginalised areas. A lot more investment in infrastructure and also, liberalising the economy a bit for local investors to feeling encouraged to create new businesses, which would create newjobs. Two of the worlds leading fashion photographers have been suspended from working for vogue and other magazines owned by the Publishing House conde nast. The New York Times has published a series of allegations against Mario Testino and bruce weber, that they sexually they both deny the claims. Adina campbell reports.

Mario testino and bruce weber have been responsible for some of those images, but with allegations of Sexual Exploitation swirling, their futures are hanging in the balance. There are now calls for more regulation in the fashion world. I had been on shoots where i had been inappropriately touched. I have had inappropriate comments made to me. I would like to see unions organised to collectively bargain, and i would like to see what the Model Alliance of new york is proposing, an independent body that would represent models against Major Players in the fashion industry. These allegations are the latest to rock the world of fashion, entertainment and social media and dont seem to be going away. Charlotta janssen was a model in the late 1980s and early 90s.

Did you have any direct experience of harassment yourself . Yes. I think i in the industry general we were very disposable. Photographers trying to pick us up, that was just one of many ways, that we were i would say exploited. We were asked to attend parties and were told it was important for our career. It wasnt important for our career. It wasnt important for our career. It is just that they would have pretty girls show up in pretty places and get them for cheap. Get them by the dozen. I experienced harassment from photographs, from doer from photographers, just the general working situation in that if you didnt say yes, you wouldnt get the job and that was pretty much the message you would get. Whaen you say harassment, what exactly do you mean . You know, you hear from others, when it is a straight guy, it isa others, when it is a straight guy, it is a forever, who has the power, who abuses t there were lots of good photographers, who didnt abuse their power but the one that is were their power but the one that is were the bad players they would be known and it would be said you know, keep clear from them, and, and it would be said you know, keep clearfrom them, and, you know, if you want to have that campaign, if you want to have that campaign, if you want to have that campaign, if you wanted to have thatjob, then, you know, do what you can to get it. Are you saying that those around the modelling Agency Business were, and have been aware of this culture 7 were, and have been aware of this culture . They must have been, because, you know all of us models knew about it and it was kind of, you know, sometimes if one girl spoke up and said something to them, they said well, were you raped . No, well then dont worry about it. Just keep clear of him. Do you want to work, well, you know, shut up, get over it. We were basically told to fend for ourselves. Do you think the Metoo Campaign will change things for men and women in this business . We have been exposed used and abused for so long, treated like disposable commodities. Lets see how we can change that, i think it would be amazing. Lets take a look at some of the other stories making the news. At least one person has been killed after a strong earthquake rocked southern peru. The epicentre of the 7. 1 magnitude quake was off the coast in the pacific at a depth of almost a0 kilometres. Local officials in the region of arequipa say many adobe homes in coastal villages have collapsed. At least 65 people are injured. An earlier tsunami warning has been withdrawn.

The latest headlines tunisians hold a day of pro and Anti Government rallies on the 7th anniversary of the uprising which heralded at arab spring. Two leading fashion photographers are suspended about vogue and other magazines over allegations they sexually exploited young male models. The us official leading the inquiry into how a warning of an imminent missile attack was mistakenly sent to people in hawaii says the state doesnt have reasonable safeguards to prevent such an error. The false alert on saturday triggered widespread panic. Siren 38 minutes of panic and confusion, which has now turned to relief but also anger. Why did it happen . And where is the president . 0n where is the president . On saturday morning, an emergency text m essa g e on saturday morning, an emergency text message was sent to people in hawaii, saying a Ballistic Missile was headed for the island and to ta ke was headed for the island and to take immediate shelter. There was hysteria as people scrambled to get to safety. Todayis to safety. Today is a day that most of us will never forget. Day when today is a day that most of us will neverforget. Day when many today is a day that most of us will never forget. Day when many in our community thought our Worst Nightmare might actually be happening. But it was a mistake. A huge one. Made by a worker at hawaiis Emergency Management agency. The wrong button was pushed. It wasnt an actual event. It was a test. Making matters worse. It took 38 minutes for a second message, declaring the alarm, to be a false one, to be sent out. So for about 30 minutes we are hanging out in the closet, texts our friends, minutes we are hanging out in the closet, texts ourfriends, calling our friends closet, texts ourfriends, calling ourfriends and closet, texts ourfriends, calling our friends and familiar lane telling them that right now we are 0k, telling them that right now we are ok, but, to watch and see what happens. Hawaii has been on alert since us President Donald Trump and north koreas leader, kim jong President Donald Trump and north koreas leader, kimjong un, began exchanging new clear threats. Hawaii started practising air raid drills last month and while estimates vary, state Officials Say residents will only have about 12 minutes to find shelter once a real alert is issued. Staying uncharacteristicically quiet, the president of the united states. He was golfing at the time and did tweet after the incident but, it wasnt about hawaii. Donald trump repeated one of his own mess adgess about the fake news media. His silence hasnt gone unnoticed. Reza aslan said trump knew within minutes no missile was hurtling between hawaii, he didnt tweet. Noone knew one thing about as far to do or where to go. A lot of people in honolulu, they dont live here, they are on have acation, they didnt know where to go. Thats been echoed across hawaii. Many people realising if it had been real the consequences would have been catastrophic, partly because many people dont have an emergency plan. A federal investigation has been launched and the emergency alerts now acquire a two person sign off before they can be issued. No threat here. And while thousands say theyve been left traumatised, for others, ignorance was bliss. You may remember the story of the former colonel in the Russian Secret Service who was killed in london in a notorious murder case in 2006. Alexander litvinenko was poisoned with the highly radioactive substance polonium 210. A Public Inquiry in 2016 concluded that his murder was a fsb operation, radioactive substance polonium 210. A Public Inquiry in 2016 concluded that his murder was a fsb operation, and that president putin probably approved it. More than ten years after his death, the bbcs Witness Programme caught up with his wife, marina. Scotland yard is investigating the suspected poisoning of a russian dissident living in britain. Alexander litvinenko, once a colonel in the Russian Security service. Now hes fighting for his life. When i met him the first time, i didnt think, its my future husband. He was very shy, he was absolutely different to what you usually think about officer of the security service. I feel very safe with him. I feel loved. Sashas life belongs to serving the country. He went to army when he was just 17 years old. Hejoined headquarters exactly in a time when the soviet union collapsed, and hisjob was more against organised crime. The growth in crime or so affects those who have done well out of change. A bullet proof car with a team of bodyguards take this top banker to work. It was crazy time. People tried to earn money any different way. When organised crime, people from security service, people from government started to cooperate together, and this is not for Better Future of this country. Its not better for people. Its just for themselves. Mr litvinenko spent the last decade taking on the kremlin. He first broke ranks with his old bosses in 1998, when he claimed hed been ordered to murder the russian tycoon boris berezovsky. When he told me they were going to this press conference, i was already very nervous and said, are you sure you have to do this . Sasha said, i have no choice. We need to be very noisy to say what we know about this crime. He said, marina, you need to travel abroad. I said, why . Why do i need to go . And we decided to go to london. We asked for political asylum. 0n the 1st of november, he had lunch with an italian contact in a japanese restaurant in central london. 0n the same day, he met two russian contacts in a london hotel. Hours later, he began to feel ill. He hardly can walk. In hospital, sasha say, could you check me for poison . And they looked at us, like, you are crazy people. Why we need to do this . Sasha explained, i am a former officerfrom russia and i have very powerful enemies. And, when i saw all his hair on his shoulders, on his pillow, and then ijust grabbed his hat and i saw hairs on my gloves. I was shocked. He looks like after chemotherapy. For somebody to have this level of radiation, they would have either to have eaten it, inhaled it or taken it in through a wound. Which of those it was, we dont know. When sasha opened his eyes, he was looking very upset. I said, dont worry, sasha. Ill be back tomorrow. And suddenly he said, marina, i love you so much. System that was built in russia killed not only my husband. So many people were killed. Because everything that happens in russia now, its about money. He believed hisjob, its for people. Probably why i like this about sasha, his feeling. Its not only his duty. It is his passion. Even sasha is not here, he is still part of me. Marina litvinenko there speaking to the bbcs Witness Programme. Tulsen tollett has all the sport. Manchester citys unbeaten run in the premier league this season has come to an end after they were beaten 11 3 at liverpool in a thrilling match. City still lead by 15 points. Although Jurgen Klopps side, who are third with an unbeaten run of 18 games themselves, showed there is life after phillipe coutinhos record move to barcelona. The bbcs alan green was watching at anfield. Shrimpa shrimp a sensational game, living up to all hopes, all expectations. Simply. The two best attacking teams in the country produced seven goals and the outcome in doubt until the final whistle. Liverpool took the lead from 0xlade chamberlain in the ninth minute. Sane equalised before half time. Then the second half. Three liverpool goals in eight minutes. City didnt drop their heads. Substitute, silva made it 42. Heads. Substitute, silva made it 4 2. Then in stoppage time. 4 3. But liverpool held on and they probably deserve to. To be honest i was not really scared. Not that i city couldnt get a fourth one. I know it is possible but i only reallyjust enjoyed the game. Meanwhile, arsenal were beaten 2 1 at bournemouth in sundays early kick off. Despite falling behind eddie howes team recovered to score two goals in the space of four minutes through Callum Wilson and jordon ibe to lift themselves up four places to 13th, while Arsene Wenger whos side are winless over five games in all competitions has said he would review the defeat in a harsh way barcelona have bought back from 2 0 down away at sore dad. Suarez scored twice to drive them into the lead against the basque side sociadad. Sevilla were dealt a blow when relegation threatened alaves defeated them 1 0. India still trail south africa by 152 runs after day 2 of the second test in centurion despite an unbeaten 85 from captain virat kohli. India bowled the hosts out for 335 before lunch ravi ashwin claiming four wickets. The visitors reached 183 for 5 at stumps as they look to level the three test series. The Australian Open starts in just under three hours time with defending mens champion, roger federer, again one of the favourites. The 36 year old swiss who won his first grand slam for five years in melbourne last year, before adding a further wimbledon crown later in 2017, believes his age should count against him. With age i feel like, you know, i play down my chances just because i dont think a 36 year old should be a favourite of a tournament. It should not be the case. So thats why i see things more relaxed, you know, in the later stage of my career. I feel like maybe know, in the later stage of my career. Ifeel like maybe somebody, like a rafa, with the year that he has or a novak with the six titles he has had here. Even though it is unknown how he is feeling, they could very well be the favourites, too. So tend of the day it is all just talk beforehand. Thats your sport for now. Thank you very much indeed.
