To early elections after the fall of the countrys voting system. Current system puts too much power of the ruling party. To australias biggest cities choked by. Millions of people in sydney breathing dangerous as wildfires control. The program. The leader of britains Opposition Labor Party jeremy calvino has unveiled a detailed money faster for next months election as he tries to close on the opinion poll guy with the governing conservatives and labours plans for government include a 5 percent increase in Public Sector pay taxes on companies on the nationalize ation off some infrastructure its being billed as the most radical plan for decades this party this movement this manifesto is different. Labor is on your saw it. And there could be scarcely a clearer government strafed of that than the furious reaction of the richest and most powerful so w. s our correspondent birkett mask and tell us more welcome back at what else is the labor Party Offering british versus. Well feel is really is the most left being manifesto that the u. K. Labor party has had to offer for the last decade a big program of building houses really trying to get a social justice agenda delivered is what jeremy called one see do hes trying to shift the narrative away from braggs at this subject that really has brought down the country for 3 years and its a radical transformation of the u. K. Economy and society what hes envisaging to renationalisation of Certain Industries for example telecom a huge social Housing Program 100000 houses here this is something to he hopes will appeal to people and this is really what the labor party under Jeremy Corbin is really envisaging it Different Society in britain and youre in Northern England today why. I mean all that england because we are trying to assess the mood in the country not just in london but also here where we are for example in Bishop Oakland where we are at the moment its markets down in the north of england and used to be the hot lines of the labor party x. Industrial town huge Mining Community here but the feeling that people have here is that they are slightly have been forgotten you see lots of in the high street lots of shops boarded up and people here have voted largely for bricks it so these are target seats for the conservative Party Boris Johnson his main message is get breaks it down and hes hoping to reach out to these industrial towns where the conservative party a story he has never had a chance to see has been a labor seat for almost a 100 years continuously but hes trying to reach out here and hes trying to snatch the seat from labor hoping to build his majority in the parliament in london which of the other key demographics being targeted. Well Boris Johnson and the labor party is really neck and neck race Boris Johnson doesnt have a majority in the u. K. Parliament hes hoping to move allies as many voters here in the north as you can another crucial vote is the youth fate so we know that young people mostly throw your appearance they tend to be the ones that are not going to date and remain politicians remain activists are trying to get young people out and they get trying to get them to vote so weve been out and weve been talking to young people lets listen what theyve had to say. At this point ok so let me give you one of those thank you so grant is going canvassing for the 1st time in her life for the breaks of party she doesnt think britain needs a divorce to do with the European Union hammon priority is to get out of the us quickly as possible just as the breck said patty as promised i really believe that the parks party right now is there a party thats offering a clean break. Tories for 3 years here failed to take us out and i think there are spotty and very nasty but in the affluent part of Central London where alice lives most people are pro e. U. Think the practice of parting can hear people the struggle action. On the backs. For 18 year old alice and her younger sister democracy is at stake they say the u. K. Need to freedom and to them be democratic even though most of their friends think differently they are discouraged all school was in a very remain area and it was very politicized lessons were all you know basically all about shaming people here. And its really hard for me the majority of young people in the u. K. See the e. U. As something positive opening up opportunities to work and study abroad so those campaigners who want to reverse bricks that are trying to get as many young people to vote as possible. So im bored your board of directors that weve been talking about this for 3 years now were all dead cimi other woman has more than 200000 followers on twitter and instagram he tells them that the 2nd referendum can put a stop to grex it the 26 year low School Graduate has put his career on hold to become a full time activist the things that he will vote for in 2016 are clearly not going to happen they expected more control over their country theyre getting less they expected to be richer being made poor they expected us to move on quickly this is dragging on for 3 years like a drug for a decade nobody wants any of these things give us a choice femi has been verbally abused and has received racist comments and threats on social media because of his views on blacks it for him the general election is key only if enough proof you politicians make it into parliament will there be a chance of a 2nd referendum the preshow up to the massive numbers and got this in the bag. And if it might i dont know i dont know im hoping that young people and the chemical woken up but i cant guarantee and so was i see the results of polling day which actually fed the 2 activists have one thing in common for them breaks it is the most important election issue but their views couldnt be more different. Sober get clear of the budget pot say the u. K. Conservatives and government of the moment they believe is the defining issue labours way of saying theyre all about social policy jobs housing and all the rest of it so which way is this election going to go. Well its really interesting opinion polls tell us that actually brags it is the dominating issue but its very closely followed by health so this is more the social agenda Jeremy Coogan and his labor party are more trusted on would have to see though theres still a few weeks to go and very much in the end its also down to the candidates now Boris Johnson is the least loved Prime Minister almost ever hes opinion polls his personal opinion polls are not very good but those of Jeremy Corbett his opponent even worse say for a lot of people its going to be the lesser of 2 evils but my hunch is that the message of getting breaks it down and just closing this that this is going to appeal to a lot of feta so at the moment it looks like the conservative party do have the upper hand but it can change in the next weeks. Say in their vision book clubs north of england thank you. Countries around the world confronting the challenge of republic tracing nationals who joined the socalled Islamic State many of these former 5 disappearing held in kurdish run prisons in syria but the kurds guarding them are warning that their ability to bung these prisons is memory said jim a journalist has been given rare access to one such a facility. In northeast Syria Kurdish guards overwell dating with thousands of suspected Islamic State to harvest from dozens of countries. Were on the road in Northern Syria traveling through a war zone about 100 kilometers from the turkish border. This is the outhouse aka prison. More than 5000 suspected terrorists are being held here some of them are german. We are the 1st german t. V. Crew allowed to film here but we cant show the kurdish guards or specify the prisons exact location cutter mohammad top shoe is a 26 year old suspected iowas fighter from hamburg now wounded he regrets joining the terror group. For me and even if i was young if someone asked me now if i would do it again but i would say no never again. A few months ago this former Job Training Center was conferred into a high security wing but the kurdish Authorities Say they are overwhelmed inside more than 80 men are crammed into one small room each a potentially dangerous terrorist most are from syria and iraq but the kurds say some also come from france the u. S. And germany the guards feel they simply cant cope prisoners confirm that they traveled through turkey to syria so what made mohamed to mere join is. The competency of the basic principles of the Islamic State appealed to the concept that you can only hold on to the law of the law sounded good so i joined the vision is not because of the beheading or anything else. But you accepted that. Point. I didnt catch. Most who came from germany say they left because they wanted to live under sharia law but now they are stuck in a war zone where no one knows what will happen to them. Live report was produced by catherine i didnt door for joins us now from iraq welcome catron so what was the atmosphere like inside the prison. The atmosphere was quite tense i had the impression that even the guards were scared we were not allowed to film them we were not allowed to have take an interview with with them on camera they told us there have been a few attempts office tape in this prison so theyre really scared that these fighters might get free one day and they might face a big problem and also they are afraid that their families might be threatened by these fighters so i think that that the people who run this prison theyre really overwhelmed with the situation they content it any longer and that was also the reason why they gave us access as a foreign t. V. Station to film inside the prison and we were able to talk to 5 german accused isis fighters and it was quite interesting to talk to them because the stories they resemble in a way because all of them told us that they never participated in any atrocities that they joined the Islamic States because they wanted to live under sharia that they believed in law and that was the reason why they came to syria to live there so given the prisoners that we saw in that report they didnt seem that bothered about their time with i asked how much of a danger are they likely to pose for their home countries if they are returned. That is quite quite difficult to evaluate the kurdish. Guards told us and also kurdish intelligence said they have a lot of evidence that these fighters and especially the fighters the 5000. 00 that are in this prison that we visited that they participated in atrocities that they are highly dangerous. Fighters but of course we have to find proof for this a lot of these atrocities has been committed while men were must so how to find out exactly. Who was guilty who was only put this ip and who was innocent so i think these fighters even if they give the impression by talking to us that there were innocent and a bit naive joining this Islamic State i think we have to consider them as. Accused isis fighters so there might be a high danger for europe with what they come back and that is the reason why the kurdish guards and the people who run this prison told us several times that germany and other European Countries should be in high alert because they can no longer guarantee that these people might stay in this prison so imagine they can left leave the prison go home to their home countries so what the kurdish proposes that germany and other European Countries. Try to deal with this fact were talking to you thank you for joining us catherine i can. Take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the u. S. Lawmakers are hearing more testimony on the final day of public impeachment hearings against president bush political counselor david holmes recounted how he overheard disputed telephone calls.

The political future of israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu could be sealed today eternity general will announce whether hes to indict mr netanyahu over corruption allegations the Prime Minister who denies rome doing is currently battling to stay in power. People have returned to the streets of the georgian capital tbilisi after parliament failed to introduce proportional representation earlier this week police cleared protesters using tear gas opponents say the electoral system is. Too much the. Reports from the city. For democracy and the party that tadcaster is outside the georgian parliamentary elections and constitutional reform the protest has united around 20 opposition movements they say the current electoral system favors the ruling Georgian Dream party which critics argue has too much power for people here Electoral Reform is much more than a formality this is a very important change. Because everybody understands that with the current. You know free and Fair Elections people want something very basic country to be peaceful to be democratic they want their will to be respected they want free and Fair Elections and these are basic Constitutional Rights of people some protesters are even camping out here to keep up the pressure on the government the ruling Georgian Green Party had promised a change in the electoral system after protests in june but last week it didnt pass in parliament or the party has a majority we are here for testing. Because they. And. Falls from this we are coming from soviet past we dont have proper courts we dont have my property checks and balances so to have a parliament where the forces are represented proportionally is vital for our democracy and people realize that recent surveys show Georgian Dream is still the most Popular Party even if their poll numbers have dropped to just 23 percent but the leader of the parliamentary majority insists that most people here appreciate the stability his party has brought to the country and says the protests arent representative. All of them are citizens torture but when you have talking about 56 maybe 3 of the people who are. Half of them are just activists of the certain Political Parties talk about a political crisis meanwhile outside Parliament Demonstrators are keeping watch for another day. These tense show that the protesters are here to stay but for now both the opposition and the government are standing their ground and the political deadlock here in georgia looks set to continue parliamentary elections are scheduled for autumn next year but protesters dont want to wait and theyre planning another large rally on monday. German chancellor Angela Merkels conservative c. D. U. Party is holding its annual conference this weekend in the eastern city of leipzig chancellor merkel no longer leads the party on her successor as leader and. A struggling in the polls so the gathering could see another fight over who should succeed on the battle as chancellor. Germanys grand old conservative c. D. U. Party has no vacancy at the top and yet a leadership battle is looming just one year ago and it didnt come Catherine Bowen embraced her political godmother of america after succeeding her as leader of germanys conservative c. D. U. But the man who was narrowly defeated never gave up on his chances of one day himself succeeding machall. Peter schmetz the foremost c. D. U. Hopeful once left politics after losing out to machall but in the years since he decided to simply bite his tongue. And it could have come cannonball as climb to the top of the policy was soon followed by her dissent in the opinion polls within less than a hear her Approval Ratings of more than hoft. When she again had to explain why the c. D. U. Lost regional stated elections in the east it was the leader of the partys Youth Organization who openly asked the leadership question opening the firing start of a debate that has since overshadowed her double role as party leader and defense minister. Stone faced and it could have come can buy i decided to take on this challenge. Who ever believes that the question of leadership needs to be decided this fall will have the opportunity to do that at the Party Conference within hours her political nemesis merits was back with this sweeping attack as something the whole of here and so the government is a disaster to push under pressure to demonstrate her own more conservative profile come callandar launched a series of strategic debates pledging more german engagement in the world a new tone partly contradicting tonsil americal but surprisingly in tune with her would be challenger fleet place mats the man in question sounded more tame as the Party Conference neared she how do you think youre on for it i found harsh words to criticize the government 3 weeks ago to me heart of a lot of Close Friends have since taken me aside dont want me not to go too far right. That would mean launching a destructive debate over the potential future chancellor rather than of a policy this weekends Party Conference will decide which way the party wants to go in germany post machall era. Indeed only politics correspondent leoni from hamas style. Welcome down so carabao has been leading the c. D. U. For barely a year why she doing so badly and now facing challenges so quickly. Well some of it has to do with her as a person and as a leader as weve just seen in the report and. Has come under Harsh Criticism for some of the decisions shes made over the past year and a lot of a lot of people within her own party mance but also the Youth Organization have actually blamed her for bad Decision Making and a recent survey published that that only 6 percent of germans think im a great come havent been good for her party but that is only one side and the other side is and that is a problem that has faced all big tent traditional big tent parties in germany but also across the continent that the city you as a party is really struggling to decide on its direction Going Forward struggling to keep voters and struggling to have that clear profile and lot of focus in germany and voting for the right wing populist but also a lot of young voters. Voting for the green party so the c. D. U. Is struggling to keep that profile and weve seen just leading up to the Party Conference now that the city leadership is very aware of that problem it doesnt want to get in tangled in leadership debates and it has just once again both and they come but also feel its man so they want to focus on policy issues Going Forward so that city you voters actually know what the party stands for now that the reporters are pledging this surge in support of friedrich thats what is coming from given that he hasnt been active in politics in recent times. Well he definitely has had an impeccable timing he always steps in when im going to come cavuto is losing support and since she has lost so much for his support for the finance is presenting himself as the alternative hes also championed by most of the partys conservative wing also the Youth Organization whos more conservator additionally more conservative than the parties so he has a lot of support from those senior members who want the party to move further to the right in its migration and economic policies to chancellor merkel no longer leads the party so what role will she play the Party Conference exactly as you said she is not leading the party anymore she has announced that she would retire from politics but she is still the chancellor and the world still cares what im going to meco things who she supports and what she stands for so at the Party Conference shell most likely be that sort of figure had that figurehead that will give security to the party and that will make sure to show off that security to show that the party is not lost at sea and what direction it will take in the future.
