Or bring you more on the situation in iraq a bit later want to turn to one of our other headlines stories this hour whats happening in the democratic republic of congo because there is now news that a couple lynched by a crowd in the eastern part of the democratic republic of congo where victims of mistaken identity the man and woman were killed in the town of beni in north kivu province where they have been violent protests in the last week they were accused of being rebels but the military says the man was a sergeant in the army who was on his way to work the crowd attacked them finding guns and bullets in their bags despite my having a child with them they suspect of the couple of being members of the allied Democratic Forces which has been blamed for killing more than 100 civilians in the past month or Un Peacekeeping chief has been in beni where there have been protests against un troops he admitted that there is room for improvement. So. We think. We are on the side of the people of this region the congolese people are there any things we can do better of course they are and we will work on it are our partners with whom we work with every day also thinking about how to work even more closely with us the f a r d c armed forces the National Police the authorities catherine soy is in the city of the east and they all say force says people are now taking masses of security into their own hands. It was found out that this man was a sergeant in the army and he was going to work in it to which is a neighboring province he was accompanied by his wife was also stoned to death and their child who is safe and what happened is that they were boarding a taxi to take them to this area but the taxi moment was very uncomfortable because were asking to go to places where killings have happened places where people are fleeing in fear and when they were father interrogated people are saying they did not have answers that were clear that they did not have ideas as well when their bags was searched there was military fatigues bullets medical kits as well and so on and so they were stoned to death now what people have done people of beni have done since that time is saying that they were going to take charge of their own security so theyve set up this checkpoints in some parts and people who are coming into the city and via calls particularly those who are coming from areas where these killings have been happening theyre saying that they do not trust Security Forces enough to do this and to take care of their safety is also an ongoing offensive with the military and the u. N. Against a. D. F. In the forest we spoke to the spokesman about that as well he said that theyre making advances they have been able to take several bases from the a. D. F. Rebels theyve also been able to kill one of the top provoke commanders but people are still frustrated theyre saying why is it that even with the ongoing operation a rebel fighters are able to come back to the villages and kill them. What bring you more now on developments in iraq where the Prime Minister has submitted his resignation to the countrys parliament this after weeks of unrest where protesters have been calling not just for a change in the to ship but really for the entire political system to be rooted they want wholesale change in the country monitoring everything that from baghdad is Simona Fulton 1st of all just tell us about the process for finding a replacement for. Well 1st of all the largest political bloc in parliament which is led by a shiite cleric mark that our solder must come up with a new Prime Minister with a new nomination but of course this is a process that requires the consultation and consensus of the Major Players in parliament all of the Political Parties whether it be shia sunni or or kurds this is how it has traditionally worked has to be a candidate who is not just nominated by the largest bloc but who is accepted by all and including by regional and global power brokers including especially iran which has a lot of influence in the political sphere here in iraq so the largest bloc has 15 days to submit a new name to the president who will then usually just nominally accept the choice especially feels that it is a consensus candidate who has been accepted by the Major Political powers but the process is very much one that is not quite transparent to the protesters and the outside world its very much based on murky backroom dealings on the goshi actions between Political Parties and that is that exactly to fear of the protesters that whoever is chosen by the political elites will simply carry on with the same political system will simply not be able to deliver the far reaching reforms that the protesters are asking for and given that their demands are unlikely to be satisfied by the resignation of the Prime Minister because its really the confessional political system in iraq that they want to change it seems as though probably demonstrations will continue for the time being. That is absolutely right we dont really see unabating in the demonstrations on the street whether its in baghdad or in some of the other southern cities or what people want they Want Parliament to be dissolved they want the Political Parties who put the in place to leave and they want fresh elections to be held under a new election law now there is an election law that has been tabled in parliament but it only really includes nominal changes it increases the number of independent candidates in parliament but its still retains a lot of power in the hands of the Political Parties and thats not what protesters want they were actually want a president ial system whereby the head of state is elected through a popular vote and that demand has been ignored by the political establishment thus far there is no mention of such a change in the electoral law that has been people through doesnt really look that we will see the complete overhaul of the political system that the most traders have been asking for all right thank you for now Simona Fulton in baghdad.

Ive only been in Office Rather projects so i think you know you just want to see what i mean this wearing body 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 this man can was out of prison early despite being convicted of terrorism offenses are complex there are the 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 it depends on the sentence but crucially depends on what theyve done in the not this is really not not necessarily you know i think there has to be an examination of how our Prison Services work and crucially what happens someone released from prison.
