Hello from doha everyone im come on santa maria this is the new sound from al jazeera and and blasphemy protest in pakistan grows and then turns violent as the military is called. Easing its blockade the Saudi Led Coalition allows the first shipments in weeks to enter yemen. With a new government moves in on Robert Mugabes old ally. And in the refugee camps of bangladesh more doubts about the agreement thats supposed to allow him to muslims to return to me and. So were going to start off with this standoff in pakistan where the military has been called in and a partial media blackout is in place but its a struggle to disperse hundreds of protesters in the capital islamabad this is after earlier on saturday police fired tear gas and water cannon to clear the protest camp more than one hundred fifty people injured the demonstrators have been blocking a major highway for two weeks and are refusing to leave until the law minister steps down this is all stemming from the fact they are angry over the fact he omitted a reference to the prophet mohammed in a parliamentary jail has more now from the city of lahore. The civilian government has off the military to come in aid of the to villian administration their primary objective would be to save dogs key installations the diplomatic all claim in islamabad and that at a time when there is trouble spreading across the country we had added trouble in karachi protests have continued many people injured there and us and we are toward only one person was killed near the airport now all the airports all the highways and fluting the grand trunk road that connects the north to the south as well as the motorway that connects its lombard to the provincial capital of the punjab long haul all are jammed people are stuck on the highways de canard move because all the intersection have been taken over by the protector and then we have also been told that the protesters are now back in strength at the same place where the Security Forces primarily the police where they tried to dislodge them earlier this morning story indeed a crisis situation head and the military now being called in for the protection of islamabad but this is a situation that has been mishandled by the government there disqualified Prime Minister of the country had called all his Party Workers and members including senior ministers for the meeting and it all while trouble was brewing in the city of karachi in islamabad so it appears that the government had miscalculated they did not know their strength of the reaction that would happen and on forward on the streets across pakistan indeed a crisis situation one that age threatening to spiral out of control that is also taught that the form a interior ministers house was attacked the law minister whose resignation the people have demanded and also being attacked and of god that the government and all sorts of trouble. Another story concerning pakistan washington strongly condemning the release of the Pakistani National have made a key suspect in the two thousand and eight mom biotechs motion and saying the decision will affect u. S. Pakistan relations site as a ten Million Dollars bounty on his head for the attacks which killed one hundred sixty six people including americans u. S. Officials say hes being released because the government failed to provide any evidence against him so it has denied any involvement in the mumbai attacks lets talk about all issues pakistan now with me who is the editor of daily times pakistan joining us via skype from ithaca in new york state and we thank you for your time but still with the protests what do you make of whats going on there i mean blasphemy the anti blasphemy law as well they are such sensitive topics in pakistan. Absolutely its of a sensitive subject and. Also where a lot of politicians and even the media are very careful in brushing it but unfortunately this has been no use for the past twenty days for billy blue to go a lot of this is just. You know who have gathered in the capital and now all over the country blocking high release want to know you know early on they want to do the resignation of the law minister but now they are demanding that the government should step down. A lot of commentators have alluded to the fact that they have the backing of elements within the state who have been broadening them to basically keep the government under pressure but the other of us forces of the government itself is beleaguered and incompetent in handling that situation like that that it has that got things to such a pass so this started to crack down on them then they thought that crackdown backfired and then they had to go on the operation and not at all in the military and the military is asking what is the scope of it wasnt in need of some real problem so the military is very careful here but it does not want to be directly in consultation with these new laws really who i guess that are you know. What do you draw is a very critical realistically do you think there is any chance of this minister stepping down. Well i guess yes there is i mean thats what the least the government would have to do after this may have been that the country this situation cannot really prolonged way much because you know in pakistans history when it was such a situation is not good in the one nine hundred fifty s. And one nine hundred seventy s. Both times you know lived really just not be rallied against democratic governments and the results were basically you know quite disastrous you know the Prime Ministers had to step down the road electorate who does so i guess the government would like to result just imagine a very soon and its not that they may have to sacrifice a few minutes of but im not really sure whether things are going to be normalized just by didnt resignation of the minister until of course the military stands with the government you know i mentioned the story today with half a site as well and thats going back to the two thousand and one by attacks United States not happy about that as well as i mean broadly speaking how would you describe. Pakistani politics Pakistani International relations at the moment they at some sort of critical juncture. Indeed there are no i think the u. S. Sort of statements from the white house ability of the state department i mean they indicate. Some level of concern in the United States about obviously a release now the problem here is that the pakistani goads time and again have been involved and they said that they dont have enough evidence for you know against the prosecution does not ring. So hard to say that gets away with that. But the real question here is there are two hundred or so its one out and in his. Approach to words a question to be sure which is the. Contention between india and pakistan is something that is very close to the state of pakistan you know the state has officially. You know in dual subject of reducing the cost and therefore. Need additional policy by the pakistani government on the part of the foreign also as. Well as National Outcry against obvious traits and i think its five cents or interests that such groups are. Decent you natured raza rumi thank you so much for your time very interesting to talk to you two other news for aid planes have arrived in yemens capital sanaa carrying humanitarian workers and vaccines to help fight diptheria they say its now the first aid shipments since the saudi that Coalition Fighting against rebels in yemen imposed a blockade nearly three weeks ago yemen remember also ensuring the worlds worst cholera epidemic and is on the brink of famine although he has now from natasha and im. Wheels down at Santa International airport for the first time in almost three weeks until saturday a saudi led blockade had shut down most of yemens ports of entry after warnings by the un a handful of planes carrying polio and diptheria vaccines and aid workers arrived in the hooty controlled capital some had only open the mission and asuna International Airport was banned from receiving communitarian aid aircraft for more than one thousand days that led to more than five hundred u.

Zimbabwes former finance minister ignatius jumbo is now in custody on monday a court will rule on his bail application over his corruption trial his detention just one day after zimbabwes new president was sworn in and simmons reports from harare the new presidency and the court cases have already started first in line ignatius jumbo former finance minister he owns more than one hundred homes and hes accused of corruption. Is reported to have been in the military custody and is even hospital treatment he says ma soldiers with assault rifles raided his home and he was illegally detained for forty eight hours as a military takeover took place also before the courts form a zanu p. F. Used leader could sue knight ship bangor accused of corruption and slander he had resisted the Army Takeover earlier this month. You know what it is what he told you if you please i mean. You hear. The army has already withdrawn from the streets of harare ahead of an announcement of a return to barracks and that action coincides with a High Court Judgment saying its action and taking power and putting mugabe under house arrest was lawful but Human Rights Watch says its an example of the military having undue influence on the judiciary and the legal warnings that it could set a precedent. I was after his swearing in everson. Had vowed to hit the ground running with a raft of measures to revive zimbabwes shattered economy but he hasnt impressed the main opposition party. He has been part of the twenty seven years of disappointment thirty seven years of the unlikely that you see is from the same boat as mr mugabe they are cut from the same tree so it doesnt matter that present what appears to be a fresh deal it remains a pipe dream the people. May have with Foreign Investors and foreign diplomats but political reform and economic reform needs to happen quickly to have the effect he wants under simmons al jazeera iraq. The bobbies new president is promising a range of reforms to try to revive the once thriving economy one of em a synagogue was the first move is to appeal to the four thousand white farmers whose lands were seized under former leader up in the gobby a decision International Condemnation and sanctions at the time and contributed to zimbabwes economic slide from the breadbasket of africa to country struggling with severe cash shortages and high unemployment. Says the action cannot be reversed he is offering the farmers compensation many of those farmers fled to neighboring zambia south africa botswana and mozambique child story is the head of country risk at the Consulting Firm various maple croft and he says many goggles compensation offer does send a positive signal to Foreign Investors. I think it was a noteworthy statement i think hes calling out to certainly some barbarians but really to the International Community to say that this seems like an old issue but its absolutely paramount to zimbabwes Business Community is certainly paramount to zimbabwes Farming Community and what hes trying to say is thats true aligned to the south in the sams madness but the past behind us and he wants to signal that symbolically its going to be a safe investment environment for businesses one must remember that for effective farm as many have moved to other parts of the world they develop new lives they have new livelihoods and for individuals and somebody where you who took over those farms they have put in some cases up to seventeen years of investment in that land so it seems to make in the minds of many people a little sense to try to wind back clock and put things back how they were so i think what hes trying to do is take the next step which is to say thats legally resolve this issue. And bangladesh have agreed to take help from the uns Refugee Agency to repatriate thousands of ranger refugees the government signed a pact on thursday settling the terms for the repatriation process which is expected to begin in two months under the deal ranger refugees will be moved to temporary camps in me and ma while the socalled Model Village is built near their former homes which were burnt down during the crackdown in august me and also plans to issue them with Identity Cards on their return although most stranger have so far rejected the scheme of more often causes bizarre in bangladesh where most of those ranges have fled to. Its impossible to imagine the level of suffering that people like these have endured over recent months and indeed for decades now stories of men women and children being killed by the myanmar army also stories of gang rape being committed by soldiers in the myanmar army stories that the myanmar government denies now this agreement between the bangladeshi and the myanmar government with respect to repack relation implies the eventual return of these people to a country that they have some sort of legal citizenship status but of course they dont they lost their citizenship thirty five years ago in one thousand nine hundred eighty two and its when you speak to people here that you really get a sense of the fear and the lack of trust amongst them they saying that they are not prepared to go back until their property is rebuilt and they get some sort of formal legal citizenship status. Hasnt seen her husband since she fled a month ago. But they have to give us an Identity Card at the border stating that we are residents. And that we are. Otherwise we will not go in because they may start killing us again. Also says his home and village was destroyed and he is terrified about returning to live like that and they wanted out of him we dont want to leave bangladesh back home were afraid to leave our house and they kill us they take our people away we dont want to go back to virginia that is. According to the Bangladesh Government has no fixed timeframe as to how long this repatriation will take its hope that the process will start in about two months time the Bangladesh Foreign minister also says that myanmar has agreed that the u. N. H. C. R. The un will be involved in the process and its aiming to set up temporary camps so people like these can live in the areas in which their homes were destroyed but the two main issues when you speak to the people here are issues of trust trust of the military and secondly citizenship will they eventually become citizens of the country for so long for so many generations they have called child strife and aljazeera culture is bizarre. Heres whats coming up for you on this news. Gyptian warplanes target suspected. To kill hundreds of people in the sinai. Monley people of various people love the new home for hundreds of refugees were gauge what sort of reception theyll get him out of. And then sport the new champions of asia have been crowned that story coming up in sports.
