Is in baghdad. The fact that you have now had 2 attacks on iranian consulates in shiite holy cities within a matter of weeks this month that really goes to show how much frustration there is even in shiite majority cities toward the government of iran because of the outsized role that they play in the politics of course you had this attack last night that was an attack in which the antigovernment demonstrators they got into that compound in and they set. The iranian consulate ablaze they burned it before the attack happened the staff at the consulate they had escaped through a back door were now being told that there are the military is going to be sending these security cells to some of the provinces to try to quell the protests we dont really know exactly what form thats going to take there is great concern here right now the perhaps that could mean that there is a crackdown looming that perhaps there will be more violence we just dont know well have to wait and see but also weve been told that there is now a curfew that has been put in place in the city of now for the until further notice so there is so much going on here right now the protests continue to swell but the fact the matter is despite the violence despite the specter of potentially more violent all the demonstrators that we continue to speak with no matter what city they are in they say they are committed to continuing to come out until they have a government they feel that actually represents them. China has accused them of trump of sinister intentions after the president signed a home and rights bill beijing has summoned the u. S. Ambassador the law means washington can impose sanctions on chinese sands hong kong officials to the sponsible for human rights and pieces it also bans the sales old tear gas rubber bullets and other equipment used by Security Forces china has threatened to response. China protests are describing President Trumps decision as a timely thanksgiving present thousands of people are showing their gratitude with a pull u. S. Rally in central home. Leading true democracy activists just a woman says the u. S. Has shown prioritize human rights over big business. For you as president sign on to hong kong human rights and democracy act thats the remarkable achievement of the hong kong was no match for a democrat or republican the new bipartisan consensus from both the u. S. Administration and the congress is to stand at home call to pyro cost human rights and democracy and not be overrun by the trade negotiation. Sarah clarke has more now from hong kong. Up to 10000. 00 people have gathered here in Central Hong Kong its almost a celebration there thanking the u. S. For backing this bill which would as a result could potentially introduce economic sanctions on hong kong if the u. S. Believes that the Hong Kong Government isnt bicycle fulfilling its human rights and democracy commitments and as a result these people here behind me its become almost a Party Atmosphere and of course this is in light of less than a week after the citys District Council elections voted in the prodemocracy politicians in a landslide victory so certainly its been a good week for the Hong Kong Anti government supporters of the protests as you say the fact that the u. S. Has signed this bill its a show of support for what their message is which is an Anti Government message calling for greater political reform in the city its a very different reaction from the Hong Kong Government as well as chinas reaction on both or over similar message that told the u. S. To stay out of their internal affairs they describe this bill is unnecessary and unwarranted and basically interfering in their internal masses theyve also said that they believe this particular milieu a show of support in the endorsing what they describe as the violent protests actions which of power lies parts of hong kong since june so certainly a different a very different response from the hong kong and Chinese Government but the atmosphere in Central Hong Kong on thursday here at this protest movement the prodemocracy movement has been one of celebration.

Well look theres no doubt. Many nato members who see him as undermining dangerously undermining the credibility of the alliance with the same time his comments of so many focus minds have made other leaders think about nato his future and perhaps come up with some new ideas and one idea thats been proposed by the German Foreign minister. And the idea is to have an expert panel actually review the. Seems to be on side with that he seems to agree that this could be useful and the idea is if it is agreed to at this meeting next week the special summit for the 70th anniversary in london the idea is that this expert panel from outside nato would look at the Alliance Review it and come up with a report next november after the u.

Well lets head back now to the unrest in iraq the country stepping up its response to mass protests across the country that protests occludes an attack on an Iranian Embassy well last week a trove of secret reports and cables from iran spy agency were published by the intercepts and the New York Times shedding light on terror ons vast influence in iraq according to the documents iran to use the u. S. Withdrawal in 2011th expand its influence and surveillance operations adding top Iraqi Government politicians military and Security Officials to their payroll both in baghdad and the senate thomas kurdish region of Northern Iraq they have routinely reported back to tehran about conversations with american diplomats the documents also show how iran has protected and paid former cia informants in iraq if kept tabs on u. S. Activists there well lets speak now with mashups wherry hes director of the Gulf Studies Center at Qatar University and joins us live from doha good to have you with us on the program lets turn to the protests 1st of all in the the escalation in the violence and why do you think a rainy an embassy was attacked when the protesters are have been clear in their demands. It was a good change in government in iraq itself in the past few weeks there is no doubt the process of rebirth and iraq and that the process basically talking about a new national identity. Intersects close miss it is across tribes all of these things so what happened now in iraq. Is an evidence that people they are fed up of. Her and interventions and i think they also see that how much this. Outside intervention has corrupted the political atmosphere more and more and it creates a political elite which is more corrupted more related to its interest to the outsiders rather than to the interests of the people and this kind of level of anger increasing increased rapidly in the last few years with the with the expansion of you know corruption and poverty and the need and the lack of infrastructure and the services which the government unfortunately has failed to deliver to its own people i think in terms of and a radiant embassy being attacked or the protests just more angry at the angry at their government are they angry at iran i think both because simply its very interesting to see this happen to the iraqi consulate iranians usually they used to they have this is this is tradition to attack and this is and consulates we witnessed that in the last 40 years now this time. Around and concerts being targeted i think whats interesting those demonstrators there are against both their against their recognize or not because there is the assumption that this government is very weak is actually rely on outsiders and more important they are upset of their arc of the iranian intervention or enter. Business and in iraq and they see that this kind of intervention is not helping iraqis its actually create. Or contribute to see iraq as a failed state that basically bring more to than the Iraqi Society m f if we turn to these these leaks cables for just a moment i mean there are some startling revelations in there and 8 does it does imply that there is iran is playing a big hands in the running of iraq. If this will turn out to be the case i mean how do you see the Iraqi Governments quite intend the protestors how do you see them making efforts to tamp down these protests because those revelations are likely to anger people more rather than less surely. In april 2003 i wrote an article i said in that article that there is a Political Security vacuum in iraq and the only Regional Power can come for that is iran and that thats kind of production approved to be right simply because the United States was not was not showing interest to a lot of elements in iraq they are interested just to see Saddam Hussein disappear and they wanted to control the oil but they have no interest to look at other social political aspects of the iraq iran actually. Worked quickly to fill that vacuum and the sense that the 3 they worked hard the 2 and to intervene in different elements within iraq in society they they were concern is machine with courage with different to grow bored with the christians because they wanted to dominate they want to control the political scene in a very short sentence they want iraq to be weak but also they want to see a state in iraq but weak and can be managed and thats whats happened basically even they have no interest to see a strong you know religious circle in iraq even that was basically helped them to maintain calm and measured as a center for shia cleric in the world so basically it was obvious that you know iranian have a clear plan how to things should be 2 done in iraq and i think the role of the United States lets not forget 2005 the United States. Bush took to to have a negotiation about security of iraq with the United States or with the absent of the Iraqi Government so basically even the americans promoted the role of iran because they wanted that role and the assumption was if iran and intervene maybe a card there would be a list influential so that there were a lot of miscalculations americans was actually playing a big role in this and not. Have your thoughts on the program thank you very much indeed for joining us on the. Now 41 people are now confirmed dead following choose days powerful earthquake in albania rescue workers are trying to find survivors and several countries have sent teams to help but this was the most powerful earthquake to hit the country in decades. Is in albury he joins us now live from one of the worst hit cities tourists sean if you could just tell us the status of that search and rescue operation its not looking good just how are people fairing there in how well are they dealing with the situation. I think people are actually still in the state of shock nothing like this has happened here for 40 years of the last year of quick that caused something terrible but not as many as this one and you can see that in the fact that they still refuse to go back into their homes even if there is no apparent damage to those homes in many cases last night in toronto we saw kilometers of coast stretching out on a highway going from the center of turn towards the Eastern Suburbs and the eastern city of kilometers of cars double parked on both sides of the road and on the pavements with people bedding down inside with blankets they simply dont know what to expect they dont know how long the aftershocks will carry on for how many more buildings will fall and there are lots of reports in albanian media sometimes spirits of another building collapsing here or a hospital wing being evacuated no ones really sure if no ones really sure if these things are actually happening but it is an indication of the psychology now the fear this is the sort of thing people are afraid is happening so many people are going ahead and reporting it we havent been able to verify any of these additional building collapses here today the search and rescue of course here at this particular building the hotel where the 41st victim was pulled out before a as early as today is done it is ongoing in other sites in the us there are roughly a dozen people thought to be still missing so tha
