Government well blocking his reforms 72 hours to find a solution at least 2 people have died during the demonstrations Stephanie Decker reports from beirut for i for a 2nd day and night thousands filled the streets of beirut calling for the government to go. For the 1st time on such a large scale its not about where your religion says lie in this deeply divided sectarian country its not about class all walks of life are united against the Political Leadership here today thats what the rights of that country its what i meant by that but you know number that i mean why fed up with its value for the future. Theres no future for no job and im not acceptable anymore and we have stood up for a long time and now its time to turn protesters blocked all major roads bringing large parts of the capital to a standstill they remained on the streets well into the night the army used tear gas and water cannon to try to disperse the crowd. The army has said that it will from now on come down harder on the protesters that it doesnt want to see these kinds of scenes of destruction on the streets but everyone weve been speaking to say that they will continue to come out to protest that they are fed up of years of empty promises by the politicians and they want change years of a crippling economic crisis has left many lebanese struggling to make ends meet its been made worse by political upheaval and the arrival of one and a half 1000000 Syrian Refugees who fled the war lebanon as the 3rd largest debt in the world the government is trying to secure 11000000000. 00 in aid banks Russian Foreign currency last month the state of economic emergency was declared the latest protest was triggered on thursday when the government announced plans to charge people for using the Whatsapp Messaging Service that was the Tipping Point for population for straighted by a growing cost of living what many call a dysfunctional state the mass turnout forced the government to drop the tax plan but it hit a nerve resulting in nationwide protests. Prime minister saddle had to be canceled fridays Cabinet Meeting and says his efforts to bring in much needed reforms have been repeatedly blocked by others in government no one is taking responsibility here but im giving our partners in the government a very short deadline 72 hours to give us a solution that can convince us and the people in the streets and our international partners. But there is Little Trust Left in the political elite who has run this country for decades people hungry people are struggling people are tired everyone says these protests are on precedented and they are determined to continue Stephanie Decker aljazeera beirut. General hossam has addressed the political crisis saying the group doesnt want the government to resign one act play out well an act we have more options there are choices that we can take and proposals ideas that we discussed before in the cabinet and we need to make it clear that its wrong to say that the government has no other choice than imposing taxes if we cooperate give priority to take anomic state will be able to save our country we dont want the government to resign if it does it will take one or 2 years to form a new one and the economic crisis will worsen. Lets get the latest now from zain the whole she joins us from beirut so what impact is no solace message having on the protests. Well the anger people here are angry because hezbollah 1st of all did not tell its weight behind the protest movements and his message was very clear the secretary general rather he said you cannot topple the Ruling Alliance who is the Ruling Alliance in Lebanon Hezbollah and its allies they control government they control for you and they do have a military wing so we talked to people here to ask them about their reaction and they said we consider this is a failed spread especially when the said if we decide to protest as hezbollah supporters we change the equation on the ground we change the balance of power so basically he dismissed the 10s of thousands of people who have taken to the streets now there is no doubt hundreds of thousands of people are still in their homes and they have not taken to the streets because those people will listen to the Political Parties the people you see behind me are from Civil Society groups a leftist groups so thats why this protest movement is so hard its so hard to achieve anything now when the struggle also saying that he is encouraging officials are not to tax the poor to find another way to raise government revenues and what we understand is that there are behind the scenes talks among the different government officials to try to find some sort of a solution instead of imposing sanctions to raise revenue now has also saying we do not want the government to resign well many will say yes because in many ways the Prime Minister sort of how do you need gives them a legitimate cover because more than once the United States administration has imposed sanctions on hezbollah for its ties with iran so if i didnt get out of the way and assume the Prime Minister is appointed who is our life has a lot then levanon could be sanctioned as a country by the United States so right now the political leaders the Ruling Alliance theyre staying together theyre trying to find some sort of a compromise theyre clinging to power really but the people here are still clinging to their demands. Aura zanuck over there thanks for that laurie height hey ali is the political activist joins us also from beirut good to have you with us so tell us 1st of all youve been out in the streets whats prompted you and other people to remain protesting today so this is finally the wake up call that everybody was waiting for because for a long time especially after 20000 when people have elected the same Political PartiesPolitical Parties felt that they were very empowered and they had the legitimacy so i guess finding the we now see people on the streets saying that we dont like whats happening since 20152018 we are here to hold you accountable and this is what is pushing people now on the streets keeping them on the streets that we are fed up enough is enough you have even those who have voted for these Political Parties they are saying at this hour that you promised reforms you said you elect us this time and then we promise you changes and they havent seen changes on the country this seeing that everything is regressing in the country so these people more than the Civil Society movement are the danger to go to the government and Political Parties because these are the people who had voted for them and now they are saying we dont want to anymore or you have to do something drastic but this thing continuing on track and taxing us and putting taxes on us and not doing real reforms is not acceptable anymore they hope that and the government sees that as a dangerous sign because now they might be losing voters and this is what accounts for them even though were on a very difficult situation politically ironically if i got everybody in power last thing is a mouse next elections it sounds like yes scrapping of this isnt just about the latest round of taxes in fact the government has scrapped some of those taxes this isnt enough for you i cant hear you but let me tell you like well i dont really a question is. The latest round of tax or deeper political reform who. No it is like that was the. That the whats up when was the or the was the point of view of the Tipping Point for people to go on the streets but this goes beyond that so on the streets you have people who are really fed up there are hungry and angry and these people are theyre the most stressing because they want food on the table and you have other people who want of political reform happening and and other political system which are which is more functional because we do have 2 problems now facing the country and this is the intersection of these 2 problems you have a political problem we have a deadlock and the country the government that we have is not a functional government you cannot have a position and majority in one government so this is one problem the system is a problem and you have an economic problem so there are you have to kind of people that are on the streets both wanting changes to happen if the politicly hour that either or its like political change and economic change so what the government is going to do now is very decisive the 72 hours was 8 i dont know like what its meant its meant for the for the future for saad hariri to understand whos going to stay with him to be able to do these reforms but this is not acceptable anymore for people they meet each other like government and Political Parties are draining each other we dont know whos responsible of this problem everybody is responsible for this problem each Political Party is blocking the other for political gains and theyre forgetting the economic problems that we are in so politics yes is very complex and complicated than that but not at it is related to the regional complexities and the Global Global complexities but at the end of the day the lebanese citizen doesnt care about iran or the you asked or their fight together they care that at the end of the day they have something to eat and there is food on the table ok thank you so much for your thoughts on that. Now protests in the capital and have descended into riots with the 5th day of Pro Independence demonstrations becoming the most violent yet police and protesters traded tear gas and burning debris and also known as central districts at least 60 people were injured in the riots half a 1000000 people marched through the catalan capital over the jailing of 9 separatist leaders. They were jailed for their role in catalonia failed independent bid 2 years ago. So a go go is live for us in barcelona sad how are they today digesting the events of yesterday. Well yes an incredibly divisive issue here just to let me give you a little bit of context as to where i am right now im outside the headquarters of the Spanish National police force this is the site really where the violence really strikes from what has been night after night an area where the test is rioters have 100 bases around and have because basically for them the Spanish NationalPolice Forces represented already occupying very nice post what they want is to see now today you know this will likely be hearing all this of course around this weeks of people who will see the whole Secession Movement and they see themselves as this city living in a beach that is firmly apart explained that they turned up applauding saying this is our last this is astleys forces what theyve been targeting as well so if anything ruled the violence that weve seen this week the protests have really radiated those divides on one hand certainly on the on some Pro Independence supporters say look we dont like the violence but weve been protesting peacefully for years saying we need more direct action yesterday some of the voices others have condemned the violence however course other side in many absences National Society has something lately against the whole notion of even having a question of the referendum right against the notion of of being given asylum being brought to the 9 politicians and activists to satisfy suggestions on monday so if anything of those tensions that erupted in the october 27th you know legal referendum have come straight back up to the surface and. Really displayed themselves in this. Its. Expensive but there has never been any like action. Thats. Because the recession has been. This week. And that was on a guy go from barcelona. Now the president of chile is declared a state of emergency a day after protests over rising cost of living turned violent riots on friday night left the bus an Apartment Building burnt the capital city subway system closed president Sebastian Pinera said he would invoke a special security law to prosecute individuals responsible demonstrations began on monday over a hike in metro fares the president of honduras has been linked to his brothers convictions for Drug Trafficking in the United States one Antonio Hernandez was found guilty of smuggling 200. 00 tons of cocaine prosecutors say he relied on his brother for Protection Court documents labeled frozen one orlando homeland theres a coconspirator he denies the allegations but protesters have called for him to step down the truce in Northern Syria is largely holding this by the accusations from both Kurdish Forces and turkey of violations there have been reports of small explosions heard in the town of asinine turkish president or edge of the army has warned the offensive in northeast syria will resume within minutes if kurdish rebels dont abide by the terms of the 5 day cease fire. Tell strife it is live for us tonight chuckle a thats on the turkey syria border charlie hows it look that. Certainly were getting reports as you say of mine of clashes between Kurdish Forces and protect the forces specifically around that town or in the town of Russell Laine worryingly though the s. D. F. The Kurdish Forces have put out a statement saying that they need a humanitarian corridor or set up to try and evacuate what they described as wounded civilians and fighters in side the city now that city has been the center of very heavy fighting up until this cease fire started as i say like clashes still being reported going on there but we were out of the understanding that the majority of civilians had fled but it seems as if there are civilians left in that city and desperate to get out theyve been videos that have dropped social media videos on the other side. Trying to push north into russell line ngos and journalists there and they describing what they say as being a wall of those syrian fighters that are fighting on behalf of the turks not allowing them into the area weve spoken to a representative of those Syrian Rebels in the last few minutes he says that there are talks going on between them and the s. D. F. Theyre trying to enforce the s. D. F. To leave their weapons. And leave and leave the city and they are also saying that they are in fact they say allowing civilians out its a worrying situation there you can imagine how complicated it is if indeed there are ongoing clashes meanwhile the s. T. C. Thats the Syrian DemocraticSyrian Democratic council the political Umbrella Group the rep. Resents the area that was controlled by the s. D. F. The white b. G. In Northern Syria very demanding that the United StatesUnited NationsSecurity Council and the arab league start some sort of process to get what they want as International Observers here to monitor what they describe as some sort of long term cease fire and eventually the withdrawal of Turkish Forces from that area turkey repeatedly saying that any reports of violations by its forces are fabrications and certainly this morning as i say a very worrying situation potentially developing in that town to the east of here russell and all right charles staffer there thanks for that hundreds of people drowned in the last few years one of pakistans most popular rivers in the swat valley locals say the main cause is a lack of Awareness Among tourists and the lack of rescue service but one man has taken it upon himself to provide the only rescue and Recovery Service for about half of the length of the river the sound binge of aid reports. Its one of the most popular Tourist Spots in pakistan thousands visit the swath river every year but visitors often misjudge the depth of the rapidly moving water and children swim in the current oblivious of the dangers. Hundreds of people have drowned over the years because there are no lifeguards and only one river rescue service. Is the man to call when someone falls in or gets swept away but 1st he has to weave through traffic. The glacial melt during summer months is so strong it even sweeps away big holes illegal sand mining has left deep ditches in the riverbed and acts like quicksand if someone gets stuck. Uses bamboo sticks and rubber tubes as a d. I. Y. Rescue raft. In the rapids for about 100 kilometers this is the only rescue service most of the time he was only 5 wadi. He took over from his father and has been a volunteer for the last 30 years running. Afoul more than 300 people who drowned in this river my numbers on social media and with the police in case theres a drowning i take my raft and start searching sometimes im lucky and find the person with an hours but sometimes it takes me days. But she is grateful to him for finding the body of his brother who drowned but is angry at the government. Minister there was no help from the government rescue services they were incapable of didnt have any specialized gear to operate in the river our family is indebted to have helped us without any compensation and recovered my brother if he wasnt helping people no one would find their missing loved ones. Some people in swat accuse the government of corruption and failing to provide a rescue service. They havent provided any kind of facilitation or Safety Measures in case someone drowns the people who have been hired in the rescue service can even swim so how can they rescue someone. The local government admits that it needs to take action to rescue establishment thought of their nest program and stop and illegal mining stored there deeper into should not be farmed in this way would these out of the 45 prong strategies on which we are working to get these incidents less and less. And i was afraid he might not be able to persuade his son to carry on the voluntary rescue work when he retires. And wants the government to raise awareness and high professionals to save lives some of their swat river northern pakistan.

More on the mood in britain from one of the poorest cities with a High Percentage of leave voters the people of whole want to break that deal down hoping to be the answer to their problems and i would reports. A gateway to europe the humber is the u. K. s busiest trading estrie and home to one of its poorest cities nearly 68 percent of people voted to leave the e. U. In the 2016 referendum. Many here want breaks it down and a deal to be passed in parliament the village in delhi and i on for years they were asked if we were upset and deals with the ballot paper was yes or no you want to leave we go i guess i just wish to film with that. And let me tell you when television we expect a call were all pretty safe coming to the end now this time we hope it is 3 years ago everybody voted to come out and its in my opinion that thats the wishes of the people that voted for we should come out and spend some time doing the things is to get on the next series i mean a chance to see things that needed there were high levels of poverty in parts of taking back control from europe is talked about by some here very little has changed since 2016 and many people are hoping that by leaving year some of the cities problems will be solved and finally get the brics say they were promised.

K. Or the u. K. To e. U. Because you have to customs clear on both sides many poles of britain a feeling pretty good by brics it looking for a solution whatever that may be even if it leaves britain standing alone.

A lot of people we spoke to were supporters of course johnson which is unusual really because this is a big labor area i think today what people are going on about their normal daily business theyre keeping one eye one ear across what is happening in parliament the really want to know how the and peace here will vote i spoke to one man yesterday who said if his labor m. P. Votes against the deal he will vote for the brics a Party Next Time i think thats a real sense here that people want to get work sick over the line so politicians can really move on and work on other issues such as social Housing Health education of course a business here is a big deal the shipping manufacturing pharmaceutical companies and for them they really need clarity as to whats going to happen in the months and years to come Everyone Wants clarity were safe we got a little bit of it today thanks so much emma haywood mozambiques Main Opposition Party here unama has rejected the preliminary results of the general election it showed the ruling for limo party headed for a major victory European Union observers are raising concerns about the vote after reports of ballot stuffing at some polling stations there was also violence during the campaigns including the murder of an observer there was a lot of rigging probe in this d equation and there for. Her not us that this kind of election markham web joins us now live from the puter so we understand the Main Opposition Party wants a recount how authorities responding to that call. They havent responded yet but will be critical renominating have said that there was widespread ballot stuffing they said that Party Representatives and observers were forcibly ejected from polling stations by the presiding officer supported by the police he said in some cases people were given full ballot papers when entering a polling station they described the election is barbaric and they project that it is tallies with things that some of the International Observers have said including the European Union that you mentioned said the us embassy here in recruits who published a statement saying that they were very concerned about the regularities and arabs had seen in some places polling stations with visibly learned low turnout in the middle of the day on tuesday when people were voting in just a few hours later polling stations reporting 100 percent turnout which the u. S. Embassy statement described as incredulous but were waiting to see how the ruling family my party in the Electoral Commission will respond. If these concerns are not addressed quickly how much worry is that this could spill out onto the streets. Renominated used to be a rebel group for the ruling party in a 15 year civil war that was ended with a truce in 1902 and then just 2 months ago the 2 parties signed a peace deal that was meant to be the final agreement to end that conflict once and for all but certainly this peace is fragile and this election will test it and manami has already said that has violated this Peace Agreement by using intimidation and violence during the poll but were waiting to find out from an arm or if they will also reject this Peace Agreement of course theres a theres a worry d that this situation will revert to the civil war that plagued mozambique for so many in 19 eighties in the early 1990 s. We asked the bernama secretary general what their position was on this they said that theyre demanding a rerun of the election and theyre waiting for the response for that before d they will make their next move right mark webber thanks so much for that the ceasefire in syria hasnt stopped people from paying smugglers to get them over the border to safety more than 700 crossed into iraq overnight theyve joined 3000 who arrived earlier this week and some fashionable name reports from the kurdish region of Northern Iraq some of been sent to a hastily reopened refugee camp. After more than 8 years of on and off cease fires and being forced from their homes many times these refugees seemed unfazed by turkeys announcement of a 5 day pause in fighting the war in syria has shown them time after time peace is never assured and. Peace life is not called life anymore its called destruction if anyone says i my life what he should really say is i am that. In the last 5 days the uns International Organization of migration has screened more than 2300 Syrian Refugees smuggled into iraq refugees say they have no other option because kurdish fighters in syria are preventing them from crossing the border in a city akin to an when they suit me we are syrian but we hate our country we dont want to go back and
