The lebanese capital have witnessed some of the worst violence seen for years the Security Forces clash with supporters on either side of the political divide numbers will go down and in marked contrast the anger and violence of previous gatherings is perhaps an indication that some at least are prepared to give the designated Prime Minister.

Stans parliamentary election but observers say there are no genuine opposition choices all 5 parties running are seen as loyal to the president. Or abdul hamid as. It was the 1st parliamentary election since president. Took power in 2161. 00 that is supposed to mark the beginning of the end of tarion rule imposed by his predecessor for almost 3 decades and its in that spirit that many headed to the polls among them. My candidate seemed confident he appeared like someone who will hold his promise if he promised to help ordinary people. A steady stream of people kept on casting their ballots by midafternoon turnout was at 58 percent. Hasnt missed an election since the age of 18 but this time she had to adapt to new rooms now we each have to vote before we didnt even come one person would fill in the ballots for all of us. Was next in line agreed he said the vote was more transparent the government is betting on these elections to showcase that its serious about old habits to bring the country forward this is the 1st time does a digitised database of illegible voters and then unprecedented number of International Observers were granted access nationwide. Still this remains an election that doesnt pose any threat to the rule of the president or 5 parties as seen as progovernment renewal of parliament is quite likely because 2 thirds of the people running today are new entries so that is the intention of all the actors and expectations in that sense are high it remains of course symbolically in terms of political substance because of the absence of any party that considers itself in opposition to voters taking place in an environment where freedom of speech has blossomed in ways that were unthinkable just 3 years ago if its not a real you couldnt see me here. Is a blogger whos often critical of the government she chose not to vote this is unconstitutional its my right i can bought or i dont if i dont want i cannot 1st of all 2nd 2nd i didnt see.

But mexico is dealing with its highest murder rate on record with the majority of firearms involved being smuggled in from the us violence across the border has come under increasing scrutiny after a number of american citizens were murdered last month in the 1st of a 2 part investigation into arms trafficking which in the u. S. And mexico gentleman talks to those smuggling guns across the border and the hit men that end up using them. In shock to mexico the 17th of october 2019 the day the sylow a cult turned out like an army with a devastating great fire power they subjugated to miss camilla treat self and took over the streets of coolie account that we would be good this man says he was there fighting with the cartel were talking about their weapons were most of the people theyre in on the side of the car with american guns the yes of course because all of the arms that we use here are from the other side of the border. What they got to go hes a hit man a soldier through organized crime one of the many across mexico responsible for record murder right how difficult would it be to do your job. If there wasnt this free flow coming from the United States. It would be hard because the u. S. Is the chief supplier thats where we get the new explosive guns we need going to support all of the guns that have been seized in mexico and traced 70 percent come from the United States theres a reason its hard to get a gun legally in mexico but the regulations are extremely strict not so in the u. S. And cartels you straw buyers and gun shop scene shows to get glocks a k 47 off if things and even machine guns its this mans job to smuggle them across the border about the truth is that its very easy to get them across we do hide them in the upholstery or where we can but the customs agents here dont really focus on that and searching it they never searched the car. We saw that for us selves when we made the journey from the u. S. Into mexico on a busy thursday night there were no possible controls we saw no border offices and just to Customs Officials checked to see of cars that were already were into mexico. A lack of vigilance which is hard to reconcile with mexicos concerns i let myself up over the last year the most worrying issue in mexico are the guns the guns that we saw on coolly akon were impressive i want to propose again but using the latest technology from both countries we can stop the arms trafficking at the border. We asked for an interview with mexicos Foreign Ministry in its Customs Agency to to discuss those Border Security plans we didnt hear back. Meanwhile quantities of weapons continued to be brought across this stashed in a multitude of safe houses on arrival the gun run is in charge of this one in a suburb of the border town the callee. More and more when we come back with guns they can stay here a day or 2 and then our people come to get them when everything is ready take them away theyre distributed throughout the country being caught with one should mean jail time but if the gun runners get stopped by local police theres a simple solution. As they say here with money the dog dances sort it all out with cash and then we each coraline way i dont know you and you dont know me with the guns make their way to the Cartel Soldiers the same ones that battle to beat me its going authorities in the 17th of october this confrontation between the cartel and the government. That wouldnt have happened if the sin of hadnt have this easy access to weapons. Through a process so yes it would have happened but obviously as you say it would have been hard for us without that number of weapons i mean we probably wouldnt have beaten them if it wasnt so easy to get hold of the guns. The Mexican Forces humiliation then and in direct consequence of leaving us gun regulations and this countrys insufficient Border Security but there were other consequences to more intimate ones for the thousands of victims of mexicos shootings in part 2 will tell their stories John Homan Al Jazeera make ali.
