And the white house official who was on the controversial phone call between donald trump and ukraines president testifies before congress. Hello lebanons Prime Minister saad heidi has submitted his resignation to the countrys president michel on how do you he says he has reached a dead end after weeks of protests paralyzed the country after the long awaited statement protesters took to the streets in celebration earlier on tuesday supporters of the government attacked a protest camp set up by antigovernment demonstrators in beirut tearing down tents and roadblocks banks are being closed for the 10th straight day as well as schools and shops. The. 13 days the lebanese people have been waiting for a political solution to put into the deteriorating situation throughout this period weve been trying to find a way we can listen to peoples voices and sterile country away from political economical and other threats today with all were great weve reached a deadlock and we need a shock in order to break through the crisis im heading to the president ial palace to rain down the resignation of the government to the president and to the lebanese people wherever they are this is in response to the will and demand of thousands of the lebanese people who took to the streets demanding change it is based on a duty to provide a safety net to protect the entire country from plunging into my him a call on old to live in his people to give precedence and priority to living on stability unity and civil peace and to steer the country away from the economic crunch and to a Political Partners i say it is our duty today to give the to safeguard lebanon and to steer it away from any perils it is our duty to bring our economy back to its feet my resignation and i will place it under the disposal of the president and all the libyan is people offices come and go however a country must live on intact no one is above living on my god save libyan on my lip and on the bones lets organs in a father since joining us from beirut what impact has had it is resignation had on the streets and the protesters whove been out for 13 days now. Well theyre in yes so the people in the streets really celebrating considering this so well come 1st step they have been developing for the past 13 days that the government resigns but their demands have not been met in full because what they want is for a new government to be formed made up of technocrats ministers who are not affiliated with any Political Party in order to carry out much needed economic reform so the initial response is we welcome that now we are hearing that the protest organizers are calling on the people now to open the roads because they were blocking the. Roads in the capital across levanon major highways to pile pressure on the government now theyre talking about the possibility of opening roads and instead focusing their protest action or street action around government buildings they are realizing really how dangerous it is to remain on the streets earlier today we witnessed this for ourselves how supporters of Political Parties in the governing Coalition Hundreds of men really attacked protesters in the streets forcing them to leave leave roadblocks and they also tore down tents and threw stones at protesters who were camped out in martyr square and Security Forces had to move in in order to calm the tension they used force they used tear gas so there is tension in the street the street this divided so now we are hearing that the protesters are thinking about opening roads ending their roadblocks but continuing street action by protesting in front of government institutions what theyre demanding is more like i mentioned a technocrat government and the early elections but the governing alliance is still clinging on to power. All right with an update from there ian thank you thank you zena so lets just take a closer look at lebanons current political system the country is governed by a power sharing agreements known as the thai if accords it was decided designed after the end of the civil war to redistribute power so the number of seats in parliament is equally split between christians and muslims the president must be a christian and the Parliament Speaker and the Prime Minister must be 70 so the Current System has been challenges in recent weeks by hundreds of thousands of protesters who say its riddled with corruption lets bring in his aljazeera senior political analyst is joining us from london marwan so the top if a court is credited with ending the civil war in lebanon yet many say it is really the basis of all the problems that is the basis of sectarianism where politicians work to benefit their sect rather than work for the benefit of the country so one of their demands is to dismantle the system how challenging though is that going to be what yes this is the generation that came after the taif accord of 1809 that was 30 years ago the accords were perhaps necessary perhaps not but perhaps necessary in order to end the war and for the fighting factions within the country to have some peace but 30 years later clearly a new generation of lebanese want Something Else doesnt want sects to divide the pis among them they want a state of citizens within the country and thats why i think the idea of a government of technocrats is a good force 1st step because a lot of the nepotism and the corruption. Goes through the the ministries that are dividing the pis among them they are hiring their own people and sometimes their own religionists and they are the ones who are giving out investments and contracts and so on so for to those who are closer to them. So the idea that the that the state has been divided among the sects could could start diminishing with more of a government of a technocrat but thats only a very very 1st step lebanons going to need far more radical far more deep changes in order for that sectarian regime to change into Something Better and this idea of a technocratic government how does it actually work Going Forward now that you have the Prime Ministers resignation what happens then because we have seen the president for example oppose this idea for technocratic government. Absolutely because they know that their source of power is the government. The president and his son in law just like hizbullah and other sectarian Leaders Within the country do understand that state power is somehow trickles down to their own because they have since 989. 00 divided the pie amongst themselves as various Political Parties based on sectarian allegiances and so in a sense the hezbollah and the president have stood against radical change within the government because they like the existing regime because their existence is in serves their interests and thats why looking forward you know there could be some optimism there 13 days later the government has failed but theres a lot of work needs to be done because reform in a country like lebanon is going to have to be slow and patient and any radical change that might lead to violence could end up diminishing the entire optimism that we face today so dealing with the Power Centers in the country not to be hezbollah and the presidency is going to have to be quite meticulous and quite patient are they protesters though willing to deal with this slowly and patiently. What the terrain is to be seen for the time being. I should be one of the more industrious and wonderful i must had. Uprising in the arab or that reminds me of the early days of the egyptian revolution very very positive. You know gay as they say in french very open and you know with the only the lebanese flags out there not 6 there in flags not religious flags not suddenly you know small identities so it seems like the various new generations of lebanese from the various religions have united along or around the lebanese identity outlast and they see that as their way forward so the problem with it is that they know what they want and they know that what theyre against but they have not articulated the vision and a common united leadership for the street one that could in fact negotiate one that could in fact run for elections and so on so forth so for the time being their best goal the best possible way forward is to continue the pressure on the existing regime to reform itself and to open the way for more Fair Elections low d for a more independent judiciary and for the tech not a government of technocrats that allows that kind of mechanism to move forward and how do you see the protesters maintaining that pressure weve seen them out on the streets for 13 days but earlier a couple of hours ago there was talk that this exerted forces might try to break up the roadblocks because people do need to get to a stop some people knew need to get back to their jobs so what are the protesters do next is there a strategy. Well we dont know as i said of a united leadership for the street and its been improvising for all of for a long while now and its from provide zation is both as a source of strength and weakness unfortunately for a very street meaning the various people from the various parts of the society is that the opposition to them from the from the sectarian elites not to be from hezbollah and the president s party is that they are well organized and in the case of hezbollah also supported regionally by iran and others and they do have a program and they consider any change for the status quo as one. Of the western conspiracy against lebanon and that is very unfortunate of course. But those in hezbollah and the presidency do consider any fundamental change called upon by the street to be a conspiracy and hence im afraid as they did today earlier when a bunch of thugs went into the street and started to break. You know various. Protestants that this might continue in different ways despite the fact that the head of hezbollah in his last speech asked his followers from hezbollah to clear out of the public squares and yet apparently apparently secretly or or or implicitly theyre sending out those thugs in order or this activist that we call them so i dont sound dettori allies in any which way the activists of the various groups like hezbollah are going down the streets and one of the worst Case Scenarios the lebanon if as hezbollah leader said will be one street against another street weve seen that after the assassination of rafik hariri between the socalled marsh 7 and more 14 movement that butter lies the country we dont want to see the lebanese dont want to see lebanon paralyze it want to see it moving forward so certainly it wants to avoid at every possible cost a street against a street a street against an organized Political Party that does not want change in lebanon all right thank you. Iraq is are defying a curfew and a new wave of protests theyre back on the streets of the capital calling for political change there is widespread anger over corruption lack of jobs and Poor Public Services its also the name has more from baghdads.

To remain turkish president was. Just said thats a while ago the russian government told him that he asked if it does have completely pulled out from the areas in north eastern. Syria that the joint patrol use can carry out by the russians and by the turks and will continue in the coming days to ensure that the esteve fighters have indeed pulled from those areas of this is quite a significant step forward that will definitely deescalate the tension that has been based in the part of syria over the last few weeks it means that after the turkish army the syrian national. Army controlled the area that stretches from some of the i would further know along with the russians move towards. And all the way east. On the border with iraq every year about 480 kilometer long 30 took in all its as deep that the turkish government has been saying is definitely going to be considered a safe zone. Should absolutely have no military presence so what does this mean for turkey and what it does next in that area. It is it is a significant gain for turkey which has been saying in the past that they will never allow the. Which is the armed group within that Umbrella Organization to be present that because they consider them to be an extension of the d. K. K. Which the that we consider both of those both terrorist organizations that point of view is a significant gain for turkey which has been complaining for many years about the presence of. What happens next is going to be quite interesting because we were going to see more of minute to cooperation between russia and between turkey and questions from. All the way to al maliki. Were talking about a huge area and they want to ensure that these are safe areas. Why tears would never be able to maintain a presence in that safe zone but also could be conducive to more political arrangements in the near future in the near term turkey saying that the reason why it is safe according to all 1st of all. To prevent the i. D. F.

E. Into 1014. 15 by the in the day future in the longer term it could be conducive to a comprehensive political settlement that takes into account northeastern syria and also it all it all you have now turkey and russia definitely key players in syria the right has some how about a thank you.

British politicians have approved a timetable for Prime MinisterBoris Johnson to pass legislation for an early election johnsons 1st attempt for an early vote fail to get enough support on monday night at tuesdays africa could pass with Opposition LeaderJeremy Corbin expressing his support for polls to be held in december quarter now says his condition for supporting an early election that a no deal bracks said be taken off the table has been met lawrence lee is in west minister and he says while there is now widespread support for december elections there could be some just to go issues there are lots of reasons i should say why politicians dont like an election in december they worry that people might not want to answer their doors in the dark when campaigners go around polling opinion imagine for example as well if there was a huge dump of snow or flooding in parts of the country the day before and people can get out to vote logistical problems but theyve got no choice frankly because Boris Johnsons pledge that it would happen by the 31st of october turned out to be a paper tiger and theyve only got a 3 month extension from the European Union which demanded that some big event was held inside that period to try to change that dynamic. They got no choice but to do it. Conservatives had said for ages that they were able to do it the other opposition parties the scottish nationalists the liberal democrats really worked on it as well and that left the labor party the main opposition in the very peculiar position having said for months that they wanted an election that they didnt want an election in december really in that it would say so because theyre quite a long way behind in the opinion polls anyway when jerry call been announced it you certainly made it sound as if he was putting a brave face looking forward to it a top u. S. Government official says he raised concerns twice over president Donald Trumps efforts to have ukraine investigate democratic politicians alexander venom and the director of European Affairs at the National Security council is defining trumpet as testifying in the impeachment inquiry then says he heard trump asked president vladimir of a zelinsky to investigate former Vice President joe biden and his business dealings in ukraine then men says he considered the request so damaging to american interests that he reported it to a superior testimony comes as the u. S. House of representatives for paris to vote this week on whether to formalize the impeachment investigation into President Trump heightism castro has more from washington. Then is a member of the National Security council the expert on Ukrainian Affairs and he is an important witness in this impeachment inquiry because he is the 1st who was actually on the phone call to listen then when donald trump spoke with the leader of ukraine in july and it is that phone call that launched this impeachment inquiry in the 1st place trump asked a lot of years olinsky the president of ukraine during that call to launch an investigation into democrats and then to buy into joe biden who is one of trans political adversaries in the United States elvin that the witness who is testifying behind closed doors today we obtained his Opening Statements and in it he says i was concerned by the call it i did not think it was proper to demand that a Foreign Government investigate a u. S. Citizen i was worried about the implications for the u. S. Government support of ukraine i realize that if you quene pursued an investigation into the bidens and it would likely be interpreted as a partisan play which would undoubtedly result in ukraine losing the bipartisan support it had thus far maintained this would all undermine u. S. National security and at the time that trump was on this phone call with the president of ukraine trump was with Holding Close to 400000000. 00 of u. S. Security aid that was supposed to help ukraine ward off aggression from russia and that is why then men and other National Security experts have come forward as part of this impeachment inquiry see that the president s demand for something for his personal gain was endangering u. S. National security and in danger in an ally furthermore republicans have been defending the president by attacking the democrats process in this inquiry saying that because theyre conducting these hearings behind closed doors theres a lack in transparency and that the inquiry is illegitimate to begin with democrats have responded now by scheduling a full house vote this fall. Day to officially launch this inquiry its just a formality now because the courts have already said whats happening in the last 2 weeks is already legitimate however democrats are hoping to take away that argument from republicans saying that on the content of this call and the contents of trumps handling of ukraine alone that that is more difficult to defend and parts of the u. S. State of california are bracing for a strong winds on tuesday which are expected to further flare up the wildfires thick smoke plumes could easily be seen from space a state of emergency has been declared as firefighters battle to get the blazes under control at least 8 houses have been destroyed and 200000 people have been told to leave their homes more than 2000000 people are without power.
