Rock n roll hall of fame guitarist the van halen dies from count age 65. The political turmoil in kurdistan isnt easy and the Prime Minister has been replaced now by an opposition politician who was freed from jail the day before by protest theres been widespread antigovernment demonstrations which have seen opposition supporters take over most of the capitals government buildings the crisis has led to the results of sundays parliamentary election being an old following accusations of vote by lets go straight to our correspond Charles Strafford whos been following events for us from bishkek charles bring us up to date what. The latest political situation. Well the situation continues to be very tense in day there doesnt seem to be any central leadership any Central Authority in control of the situation here actually standing at the main square where we saw those big demos that were cleared out. A couple of days ago by Security Forces now representatives of various different opposition groups have been here giving speeches weve had representatives of other opposition groups. One could interpret them all almost as being rivals in other areas of the square the kind of message that weve been listening to leaders here and these are members of what they describe as a Coordination Council which was set up yesterday and representatives of that council have been demanding but the president is impeached theyve been saying that they did mounting the arrest of one of the president s big allies and somebody who was very much part of funding one of the progovernment parties in those parliamentary polls that were canceled. And they are also saying that the only legitimate all surratt see any decisions that should be made should be made through a full parliaments now this is interesting because the parliamentary session last night that voted into power the new Prime Minister this month so there are over who as you say was released from jail free from jail by a position activists a man who was serving the 11 year jail for kidnapping the members of parliament voted him in and that emergency session last night we understand predominantly government. We know that there were not many of them session which was held in a Downtown Hotel the implication is that there are a lot of opposition parties and opposition figures that do not agree with disappointment of so there is a pearl as the new Prime Minister as they say the situation is tense a weve had rival groups giving speeches in different areas of the square an interesting lead just off on the sidelines as well there are groups of men gathering together its a very kind of conspiratorial and worrying atmosphere here. This morning and took us through some of the remick ramifications of that political chaos that youve been describing because were hearing theres been an attempt snouts storm the offices of the gold Company Needs some more lights im not. Yes indeed the smalling control is a Canadian Company wholly owned by a Canadian Gold Company its hugely important for this countrys economy contributes about 8 percent of its g. D. P. We went down there to smalling to the company h. Q. Having heard reports that they were attacked by a group of men and indeed that seems to be the case the Company Headquarters were protected by security and the men were forced to leave but this is not the 1st time that weve seen this in the last couple of days that been similar attacks by unidentified groups of men on gold and gold mining facilities in various areas of the country another indication of just how potentially lawless the situation is here but interestingly last night. We began to see volunteer groups setting themselves on law and trying to to come together certainly at night to prevent things like looting we did see a little bit of looting last night businesses being attacked and as i say these volunteer groups now trying to organize themselves to try and prevent that happening in. Stark indication of a just how the situation could become here. At the very latest from many thanks.
