One of the really special things about working for aljazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else would be what it is you know its very challenging live but it got to be because you have a lot of people that are deployed on political issues. The people who believe that tell the real story ill just mend it used to do the work journalism we dont feel included work. Across the globe. What are you protesting about how does things in question whether online life face minstrelsy im directly ill translate its lately or if you join us on saturday this is an attack on Academic Freedom and on our ability to do research and teach freely this is a dialogue myanmar is not making it very welcoming for people to come back everyone has a voice on the truth the discussion is real and im here to talk about the solutions on aljazeera i really felt liberated as a journalist was.

Decades old trees falling in sierra leone as its cash strapped government tries to replace lost mining revenues. Hello after weeks of protests and roadblocks across lebanon some schools and banks have reopened their doors theres been concern over funds being sent abroad because of reports that some banks may impose restrictions customers are also angry over limits imposed on how much money they can withdraw each day meanwhile protesters continue their calls for the entire government to resign lets bring in zain a photo shes joining us from the roots of financial district to talk us through the restrictions of the measures imposed by banks to prevent capital flight so you know. Well there has been no formal announcement by the central bank but we have been thinking Bank Employees as well as customers there imposing for example a daily cap on how much money you can actually withdraw some banks are allowing you to withdraw 800. 00 other banks 600. 00 but you cannot transfer money abroad unless for a valid reason now who will decide what a valid reason is they will theyre saying if you have to pay for your schools fees children titian fees if you have to pay for example medical expenses family expenses will allow you to transfer money but otherwise you know so the Lebanese Central Bank really worried about the possibility of capital flight because Investor Confidence in lebanon is at an all time low even before the protest Movement Began 2 weeks ago 2 weeks of massive demonstrations which really paralyzed the country roads were blocked people were burning tires the economy was already standing on shaky ground levanon unable to attract foreign capital the lebanese. The currency is the local currency on the black market that was the valuing it for the 1st time in 20 years so the economy was really on the brink of collapse unemployment was high and this is what really triggered the protest movement but definitely definitely the crisis the political crisis is far from over and where are we when it comes to the political crisis and any sort of deliberations that could be going on behind the scenes to start forming this new government naming a new Prime Minister. Well yes were still waiting for the president to announce the date for binding parliamentary consultations hell be speaking to the different blocs in parliament they will be making their choice on who the next Prime Minister will be because Prime Minister sato how do you resigned a few days ago what we understand from sources close to the president is that he wants to find some sort of a deal to make or facilitate just process before actually starting it because the divide among politicians is the we all know what the street wants they want an overhaul of the whole political system not just the Prime Minister should resign they want the president to resign they want the parliament to resign they want new elections really improbable demands that even people in the streets will tell you this is hard for us to achieve so right now what the political elite this trying to do is reach some sort of a compromise the whereby maybe there will be a new government and some new faces technocrats with some politicians allied to Political Parties its still not clear were still waiting for the president to set that date so that the process can actually begin to form a new government in this country ok zain i heard that thank you. Now thousands of people who say theyre fed up with pakistans government have started demonstrating on the streets of the capital convoy dominated by supporters of a conservative Opposition Party entered islamabad on thursday theyre demanding Prime Minister iran time resign the group left karate on sunday picking up more supporters as they stopped in several cities along the way they say khan whos refused to step down hasnt fulfilled his promise of strengthening the economy hides or has more from islam abouts. Tens of thousands of supporters of the junkyard there were my islam that god was dead in islam i bought a boat several kilometers in each direction from the revenue of the pro days that atal going to waco that i brought people from the fall flung area the foggers on their broad that bedding had made a made for food some of them are now camps along the road them all and i had been speaking to arlo going to deliver your network saying that is giving 3 days for the government to dine on the other hand and wrong how a negative view is still barred from it for their turn and said that while the marge or the priest boy and i had created goats through the opposition that day would be a red line and i ds people will not be allowed to enter the capitalist elaborated in minnesota and played by that security for goods to stop these people to the mall on a dime to ma droned the city that situation is precarious it will be a major sure all followed by the opposition parties it will be important for the read of the other mainstream opposition parties the budgets on Peoples Party and the budgets on which then league now watch where the day will be able to good throw their weight behind this particular model but the government on the other hand staying there domon thing that does good not have gone where there was a dime when the country is facing challenges on its eastern and reston front yard and is trying to facilitate a predated between iran and saudi arabia a lot did at stake and the next few days it seems will be critical for pakistan. Turkish on Russian Troops have started joint patrols in North Eastern syria this follows a deal between the 2 countries to remove kurdish y p g fighters from the area the socalled safe zone ankara wants to create runs along the turkish Syrian Border it extends about 30 kilometers into the syrian side of the russian inter because joint patrols will run about 10 kilometers deep all along the border from zat obvious to maliki. Joining us from shanley are for thats near the turkish Syrian Border to talk us through what the patrols will actually involve. During the joint patrols with are underway aimed to establish 2 things 1st of all from a turkish perspective they would like to make sure that the what if you fly says those station big folks in mondays could buy a new toilet if out of all completed their withdrawal east of the of of 8 is and those. Have to move south away from the safe so its a critical task because whats happened over the last few days is to things as the wipers you fight as were pulling out this struck a deal with the Syrian Military who redeployed to those positions creating a new political reality so he is saying we dont accept that everyone has to pull out of those from the safe so so as the convoys will travel along the safe koreans or they will have to ensure theres no friction particularly between the Turkish Military and the syrian army because this could lead to a full d blown move its a confrontation between the 2 and your house and that is in fact something that the syrian president warned off just on thursday when he was giving an interview to state television. That interview i believe that we knew was mainly to talk to the Syrian People about the latest developments on the ground which is the safe soul of the presence of this Turkish Military along with the Syrian National army which is the opposition military group now which 6 control of a huge area thats russias from jealous to from the pool to our side i know thats where the Turkish Military also is going to start this. Observation post now. Said that he has no problem with the idea of a save stern as long as this is something which is temporary however he warned against any potential for turkey to maintain a permanent presence in northeastern syria saying that this is going to be a red line less this into what percent or less and how to say. The whole of the syrian land is one and the theater of operations is one from the far south to the far north the turk is the american agent in this war we were fighting this turkey everywhere and whenever it struggled to do what it wanted with it left no option but war this is obvious but i say we will need to keep open the opportunity for the political process in all its forms and if it didnt produce results then we consider them an enemy and who will get to war there is no other option. This is an extraordinary moment for president bashar says because as he has been preparing to further claim more territory from the opposition but ticket early in which is the last song called for the rebels in Northern Syria he is now grappling with a new political reality which is this saves in an area which is about 440 kilometer long and 30 kilometer deep that stretches from jobless to. Where he may not really have a huge say or huge influence he has to deal with 2 key players here and russia of this explains his 1st ration about this new political reality that may. Take some time because this salute indication that russia will be all in agreement about how to deal with the. With the Syrian Military which is positioned or some of the soldiers in the northeastern part of the country right her better thank you. Well the day after the southern philippines was struck by a powerful earthquake people are now worried about aftershocks a magnitude 6. 5 quake struck on thursday killing at least 5 people about 12000 people are staying in shelters in the island of mindanao there was another earthquake on friday off the Southern Coast but no reports of injuries or damage genuine dogon has more from north korea about so we are outside this chick hospital of my town in north of the province where the situation is clearly difficult the devastation of the building brought about by the series of earthquake this month has forced doctors to attend to patients right outside the hospital and they are very difficult conditions extreme heat and basically according to doctors there is a shortage of medicine and water here there is stockpiles of medicine have been stuck inside that pharmacy and they have no way of getting it for now they say they need help because the situation is getting even more difficult with hourly aftershocks and more patients coming in and.
