S. Really ascertain how cool my love ninety year i hereby announce my resignation as Prime Minister from the lebanese government knowing that the will of the lebanese are stronger and that immigration is that fight and will overcome any attempts to impose any over them from powers either inside or outside of our country long live the people of lebanon. Well lebanons politics is a complex minefield of rival regional and sick tarion interests i reraise resignation threatens to inflame tensions between the countries sunni and shia muslims the countrys government is finally balanced the president must be a maronite christian the Prime Minister a sunni muslim and the speaker of parliament the shia muslim the country is broadly split between two political camps a us and saudi backed alliance and the pro Syrian Coalition differences between the two on how to run the country led to the collapse of the government in two thousand and five two thousand and eleven and two thousand and thirteen last year Lebanons Parliament sworn in a new cabinet dominated by hizbollah and its allies in a major victory for the shia iran backed group saad hariri is lebanons most influential sunni politician and the saudi ally who is a fierce critic of iran and hizbollah the killing of his father over a fee could easy by a massive car bomb in two thousand and five was blamed on members of his valma well shiela bellas has more now on saad hariri as political career. Saad hariri had been in office for less than a year the forty seven year old was appointed in twenty sixteen to lead a Coalition Government which included irans powerful shia ally hizbullah. Stability what i see is. Focusing on. The interests of the lebanese citizens. This was horary second turn as Prime Minister it previously served between two thousand and nine and eleven horary had followed in his fathers political footsteps griffey career he was assassinated in beirut in favor of two thousand and five hed been seen as the driving force behind lebanons rehabilitation and reconstruction following civil wars and Foreign Invasion between one nine hundred seventy five and nine hundred ninety one. Saad tried to continue the family legacy but began to lose popularity as lebanon faced multiple political and economic struggles unemployment has been at more than twenty percent its population of six million includes one and a half million refugees the two years it was unable to elect a president as its parliament was crippled and it couldnt provide basic services such as alex for a city and Waste Collection last year harare announced he was backing his rival michel aoun for the presidency the move was seen by analysts says hariri losing strength in his sunni dominated future Movement Party our own did become president and hariri Prime Minister. This is a very important day for lebanon and god willing all the lebanese will recognize that we were in a very dangerous situation today is the end of the danger and the threats. That herreras relationship with longtime allies saudi arabia was see to have weakened in last year billions in military. Support lebanon was cancelled the saudis frustrated by the growing influence of his. Career his resignation puts the issue of Saudi Arabian regional rivalry back in the spotlight shall a balance aljazeera. Well and yes time joins us live now from a big group so he has what reaction has there been or so far to to the resignation and also you know the threat of instability how realistic is that. I think theres very serious concern of instability here and lebannon Many Political analysts have been taken to local channels warning of the potential of violence and it really sort of takes into one of the comments that mr hariri himself made when he made his resignation speech when he said that the climate here in lebanon was similar to that of the climates that led to his fathers assassination in two thousand and five and really thats a nod to not only the fact was his father killed because of the political instability in lebanon but the assassinations that followed there was a series of assassinations that followed killing or the assassination of rafik hariri and there is a nod to that so some suggesting that we could see some sort of violent instability here in lebanon of course this very divided political system here in lebanon this very sectarian political system each side pointing the finger at each other but whatever the case the reaction here certainly is polarized as well of course you have those who support mr hariri who are saying that they certainly take on board his concerns and support him resigning from the job but then you have those who are opposed to mr hariri and are part of political factions that are not normally allied with him or indeed his backers in this case saudi arabia saying that this was a quote plot from saudi arabia and that saudi arabia has essentially toppled the Prime Minister of this country because they didnt like the fact that he was working closely with their rivals in this case has blood and he has having we talked about fears of an assassination plot saying he feared for his life what intelligence officials actually been saying about this because hes been getting a lot of criticism on social media for example about this cause. Indeed and we need to be clear that mr hariri has made it clear that hes resigning because of this threat or perceived threat of an assassination and his comments that followed about iran and indeed hezbollah were not at least the way he framed his resignation the core reason whatever the case weve heard from internal security here in lebanon they put out a fairly carefully worded statement in which they said essentially that they are not the source of the intelligence which led mr hariri to believe that he may be assassinated and perhaps more importantly said that they do not have this intelligence themselves so in a way a very artful way pouring cold water on mr herz concerns that there was a plot or is a plot to assassinate him whatever the case as weve been saying his father was ultimately killed in that very same fashion and so mr hariri is concerns could certainly be understandable but what it creates is a political vacuum here in lebanon and the question now is how this vacuum will be filled and one would imagine that the president michel and then indeed the various Political Parties here are no doubt talking to each other trying to figure out how to move forward but perhaps most importantly try to prevent this from escalating into a major crisis in test with the latest from beirut thank you well said harry reid has been fiercely critical of iran the same buzz ravis in tehran for us and has more on how iran is reacting to the real reason resignation and criticism. Hours after the resignation of lebanese Prime Minister saad hariri in which he criticized iran for its involvement in his country and in the region Irans Foreign Ministry spokesman back home kasumi rejected those allegations and said that the sudden resignation by the lebanese Prime Minister was both regretful and came as a surprise to to her on a cost me also commented on the optics of the resignation saying the fact that hariri resigned outside of the country in a hasty manner in saudi arabia were all signs that he was surrounded by parties that did not have lebanons best interests at the tops of their agendas nor were the best interests of the region the wider middle east at the tops of their agendas he pointed a finger at irans usual suspects the United States saudi arabia and israel and he said that these countries had come together in designed this situation to create a destabilizing event not only in lebanon but something that was designed to escalate tensions in the region and lawmakers here in iran are already looking forward and encouraging their lebanese counterparts to do the same saying to them that in the future if there are any problems to resolve and do so through dialogue and not conflict. Well joining us now via skype from dayton ohio is ron the slim shes a lebanese American Foreign policy professional and director of the track to Dialogues Initiative at the middle east institute madame thank you so much for joining us here on aljazeera weve been hearing from our correspondent in beirut to spoke unsurprisingly of the political vacuum that there is going to be in lebanon now how do you think that vacuum is going to be filled and how do you see the next weeks and months in lebanon. Well its still early to tell them what will be the next steps but its very clear that this is part of an escalation strategy led by saudi arabia and may be supported by the u. S. To hold back iranian influence in terms of whats going to happen in lebanon tomorrow or the hizbullahs akin to that in general will give a speech that will help us in understanding how they contextualize this resignation it gives us an indication about that light the response the problem is that hizbullah is in a bind they with heavy views that ignition they dont have the sunni partner in in the lebanese government system and saudi yes going to look a lot of pressure on other potential sunni candidates who can replace heavy throughout not stepping into that fray and taking that was a sure its also going to look pressure on other lebanese politician specially within the Christian Community on deciding to take sides basically on pushing them to take sides in this in the scotland that is set for its condition. Lebanon is in the region a very small country and diverse country sectarian differences religious differences which is always that found itself a sort of a scene for its bigger neighbors to play out some of their grievances so how do you think an unstable lebanon impacts the rest of the region which of course is itself going through an unstable time. I think its going to add to the instability its got going to create more challenges obstacles to moving from disagree ation of conflict and competition roxas to a situation of dialogue and cooperation which the region badly needs on on so many levels its going to put also create spaces for. Extremist political to try to mind this vacuum thats going to be created in places like lebanon thats going to be created in other places in the region as a result of this instability and if i can just ask you now i mean you were mentioning other places in the region about another story that weve had is breaking news and that is that theres been an explosion at the king Holiday International airport in riyadh the capital of saudi arabia now who the groups have claimed responsibility they say they fired a Ballistic Missile the Saudi Air Defense says it intercepted a Ballistic Missile now thats all the information i have a dont expect you to sort of give us more on that but just that if you could analyze the timing of this does anything strike you in particular look its too early to tell you we dont have enough information about it but the timing is very interesting but also im i hark back to a speech that hezbollah second after the general made. A few months ago in which he warned that any at that on any member of that is the sense axis including syria including his but likely doing that who thiis is going to you know to achieve its going to entail it is financed from the whole axis from all the members of the axis. Run the slim speaking to us from dayton in ohio lebanese American Foreign policy professional madam thank you so much for sharing your views and expertise with us thank you very much. Now syrias government and its allies have launched a military assault to push i saw out of the last strip of land that it controls and syria russian jets have been pounding the city of our book come out on the syria iraq border and that they are as or countryside six members of the same family were killed after residential areas were hit the syrian armys elite forces iran backed shia militia and hezbollah fighters are leading the operation on the ground on friday i saw was pushed out of there as or city the armed groups last major urban stronghold in the country. Tracking those developments from gaziantep on the turkey syria border the military campaign to take over a welcome mat is underway the russians are pounding i still position in five tangible will come out of the syrian army only reinforce them and an elite unit which is going to engage with i still love the videos are concerned about their fate of a double of people were killed during those strikes i said and i was left with very few options if we did five why it was absolutely no way they can go with vastly superior army the syrian army which is backed by russia i do think that this time what were going to see is basically the syrian army coming from the east the turkish of the iraqi army coming from the south we will call today a very military push to try to drive i suppose out from the last pocket in syria. Well coming up on this news hour from london as a new report highlights the devastating scale of global malnutrition were reporting the recovery of a teenage girl was emaciated image became a symbol of yemens suffering and the war dont to the poor to our daughter the family of a ten year old mexican go with Cerebral Palsy pleads for the u.

Tradition is colliding with politics in. The cities and youll festival has gone ahead despite attempts to call it off during a province is the heartland of politics. Carlos. Despite appearances people say no one here is really happy in general the yet angry upset that my family had from. On your phone. With us and they dont understand exactly what is happening here either very. Awful and we had very young me and we need to do this three. To defend our rights we had are going to fight but i think its very difficult in the old city many balconies make a political statement the Spanish National flag represents the minority city councilors say theyre in mourning over the jailing of eight sacked cabinet ministers in the news or just black drapes allayed on the front of city hall and the flags above are at half mast the European Union the catalan regional and the jarana city floods the Spanish National flag was removed when secession was declared more than a week ago. And the man says she supports pleased being in belgium. Even in the pick them in i fully understand why president puts them on is seeking european protection especially after seeing what has happened to the rest of the government ministers we cant have a situation where we have Political Prisoners and i think its ok that he protects himself and he makes our conflict more visible internationally the weeklong festival was supposed to end with a firework display but thats now being cancelled organizers who had to consider cutting out other parts of the shadow chose to focus on events aimed at children in catalonia culture tradition and politics have always gone hand in hand the children may be having fun watch by their parents but this years festival takes place against the backdrop of a long good increasingly bitter struggle for secession Andrew Simmons aljazeera. Well most every country in the world rich or poor is affected by malnutrition in all of its forms thats the stark finding of this years Global Nutrition report it says thats a big burden on the hundred forty countries that its studied one hundred fifty five million children under five are stunted meaning theyre short for their age africa is the only continent with the numbers seem to be rising because of the growing population fifty two million children in the world do not weigh as much as they should for their height a condition defined as being wasted obesity is also on the rise in almost every country affecting two billion people in the world one third of men and women in north america for example are obese and its affecting children from both high and low Income Countries with forty one million kids around the world under five being classified as overweight that have been named looks now at the situation in yemen where the war has left millions of people without proper access to food a warning you may find some of the images disturbing. Arms and legs like twig barely able to hold her head up and looking more like a child so eager became a haunting reminder of yemenis suffering last year. This year nineteen year old qaeda is Strong Enough to smile to play with her siblings and even do chores for her family of ten but shes still suffering she cant chew her diet consists of biscuits milk and juice and she didnt have enough energy for an interview. I cannot afford her medical treatment its costly in the end i gave up some benevolent people came to help and took her for treatment now shes back here but still not well. The Global Nutrition report says almost every country is grappling with serious nutrition issues ranging from what it calls undernourishment to obesity that means millions of stunted children and mimic women and a rise in obesity across the globe in yemen the issue is exacerbated by a more than two and a half year war thats created what the u. N. Describes as the worst humanitarian crisis in the world earlier this year it warned that yemen and twenty Million People across africa were at risk of starvation leadin if in yemen in yemen there are more than ten million children and done need of humanitarian aid one and a huff million of suffering from malnourishment and three hundred seventy thousand from acute smell nourishment saeeda tripled her weight in the last year but her father earns only a dollar a day and says he needs help feeding his family lives and that i was ahead of the aid is not reaching us if you are dust and to receive a bag of flour it takes ages the Global Nutrition report says forty five percent of children in the world die from nutrition related issues yet only one percent of global aid is earmarked for addressing them thats why theres an urgent call for greater funding and understanding that properly nourished people are the engines of Economic Development natasha going to aljazeera. The family of a ten year old mexican girl with Cerebral Palsy is trying to stop the u. S. Government from the porting her rosamond rhea her non this was taken to the u. S. For treatment by her parents in two thousand and seven when she was just three months old they stayed in the country as undocumented immigrants so rosa could continue with her therapy around violence will stop by Border Patrol agents ten days ago as she was on a way to hospital she was released from detention on friday but family members are still waiting to find out what happens next well joining us now from new york is alina das shes one of the lawyers whos been working on roses case so mistrusts thank you so much for joining us here on. So we just mentioned the parents the family waiting to hear what happens next what are the potential things that could happen to rosa next well right now what we know is that rosa was unlawfully arrested and detained by immigration officials thankfully she has been released thanks to the heroic efforts of her family Organizers Community members and many lawyers have been working on her case but unfortunately she still is facing the possibility of deportation and as the parent of a child who has a disability and an immigrant rights lawyer we simply cannot stand by and watch as this happens its critical that she has her family with her and that this family remains intact in the u. S. Where theyre able to receive the care they need i mean this case says unsurprisingly got a lot of Media Attention but how rare is it really. Well were unfortunately seeing increasing numbers of cases where Immigration Enforcement is happening in what we term as sensitive locations generally there is a policy that immigration officials are not supposed to go to hospitals to schools to churches and try and deport people yet we see this young girl who was stopped on her way to a hospital and then arrested in the hospital following the surgery being detained and separated from her parents and then the choice to place her in deportation proceedings again is a choice thats incredibly cruel and senseless immigration priorities have always recognized that immigration officials have prosecutorial discretion they can make decisions about whether or not to pursue deportation and we simply dont see what they gain by trying to deport this young girl and unfortunately its part of a growing trend so the issue is not a change in the law its just that presumably the Previous Administration was more lenient on these cases and sort of you know made allowances for special cases like roses well there are many people who are living in the United States who simply dont have a path to status or must go through incredible hurdles in order to get on a path to status so that is a problem with our broken immigration laws that Congress Needs to fix but through every administration throughout the history of Immigration Enforcement theres always been a recognition that Law Enforcement officers can exercise discretion because they recognize that the laws dont always address the needs that are happening on the ground and so when you see a young girl and a family like this that are doing what any family would do in their circumstances just trying to get the best possible care for their daughter and to keep their family together we have to question not only our laws but also our values and how were going to represent that in our immigration system thus one of the lawyers working on the rosa maria her nonbusiness case thank you.

President in twenty five years hes already been in hawaii in just over an hour going to call for japan trump will then visit south korea and china before traveling south to vietnam and the philippines scott hardware in tokyo takes a look at whats in store for him in japan. Japan the first stop on president Donald Trumps twelve day trip to asia his longest abroad since taking office here and throughout his trip a great deal of focus will be on the mounting tension over north koreas missile and nuclear program. Japans Prime Minister shinzo ave was the first head of state to visit troops even before he was sworn in as president. Mr Prime Minister the two leaders have a tight relationship will play a round of golf and have a steak dinner out with their spouses on sunday mondays meetings will be more formal including an audience with Emperor Akihito the most important thing for trump mr trump to do. During his stay in tokyo is to make sure. And send a message that u. S. Japan remain solid and japan and the Prime Minister are here. On board with regard to north korea and we go to china a recent poll in japan found nearly half of those asked about the leaders relationship said it was only good for the u. S. And home japan is always wary of the United States reaction when talking about trauma i know im a bit afraid of what lies ahead the silence continued to fly towards us but the United States doesnt do anything so suddenly that it probably isnt wavering in who he is but im doubtful of whether hes really thinking about the interests of the United States all the rest of the well hawkish in dealing with north korea has kept the issue of the abduction of japanese citizens by north korea a live monday trouble visit some families of those who have been abducted over eighteen thousand Police Officers will be on the streets of tokyo during President Trumps visit one of the largest ever security personnel mobilizations and for the very first time an all female Security Team has been created from milan and of on to trump. As a candidate and as President Trump has slammed unfair trade deals with asian nations but its not expected he will talk much about this in japan the focus is expected to remain on how the two allies will deal with north korea its got other aljazeera so. One of japans key priorities during president terms visit will be to secure more support in the face of heightened tensions with north korea with every threat came just one makes the Korean Community in japan suffers full chat our john reports on the difficulties facing children attending Korean Schools there. There are sixty Korean Schools in japan attended by thousands of students seventeen year old huang song we is one of them each time there are headlines about north koreas latest missile test the School Receives anonymous bomb threats huang says there is confusion about news coming from and about pyongyang. I get mixed feelings honestly speaking i cannot deny all the news reports we see on t. V. Because we dont get to hear from the North Koreans directly the norths leader kim jong un has threatened to sink japan and the United States the Korean Community in japan has been divided sista korean war but the only direct funding and curriculum guidance for its schools comes from pyongyang a Residents Association which acts in place of a north Korean Embassy in japan says its received more than four hundred Million Dollars since one thousand nine hundred fifty seven and the schools are grateful. Hundred after World War Two simply speaking who offered the first helping hands to us it wasnt the japanese government. Anti korean rhetoric and protests are not new to Japan Community leaders say the japanese publics reaction to pyongyangs Nuclear Tests are similar to the backlash that followed the abduction of dozens of japanese citizens by north korean agents in the late one nine hundred seventy s. And early one nine hundred eighty s. People started thinking north korea is some outrageous country a country like a demon and the sentiment that you can attack anything linked to north korea has prevailed in japan about the way. For korean parents in japan who want their children to learn the korean language history and culture pro pyongyang schools are the only option regardless of their own political beliefs about the north korean regime one thing going on i because they are not japanese i want them to go to Korean School not Japanese School and learn the language and the ethnic spirit those are the most important things. Although some teachers express solidarity with the north most parents believe koreans are one ethnic people for them there is no north or south pole chatterjee on aljazeera. Well Tony Berkeley has the latest from south Koreas Capital seoul where protests have been taking place ahead of trumps visit. There have been prochoice demonstrations going on in seoul but generally from the older generation people carrying placards saying we love you trump thats not the message from the people here behind me these are very much anti Trump Supporters people very concerned about the rhetoric of President Trump they believe hes a man who could bring war to the peninsula so theyre very concerned the tensions have been going on here now for the last few months people very concerned about his fire and fury speeches also he threatened to totally destroy north korea there are concerns about south korea should do there is now a debate going on here that some people in south korea believe they should take affirmative action some people say they should push america to redeploy tactical nuclear. Should also take control of their own forces because of agreement with the u. S. In the event of conflict the United States would take control of the south Korean Forces people not to change also there is a debate going on not widespread views are held here supported bought some people are calling for south korea to develop its own you could turn so the stakes of raised considering here and all those present from it is being criticized so we have to say that hes also being applauded the people here are very realistic they understand very much that america is the benefactor and defender of south korea and they see that his support is essential.
