Harder to survive a basically cold winter. Plus a novel idea the new a strain library with an innovative way of lending. But we begin in lebanon where protesters are preparing for another day of rallies after months of Peaceful Demonstrations descended into violence on saturday night more than 200. 00 people were injured off to Security Forces fired tear gas and water cannon the crowds in the capital and a standoff that last several hours demonstrators say theyre tired of waiting for the government to fix the ongoing economic crisis sent a halt to reports from beirut. Rage in the streets of the capital in what might be a new phase in an uprising against lebanon arms leadership that is now in its worst months fears confrontations between antiriot police and establishment protesters turned downtown beirut. Into a war zone this is the epicenter of a protest movement that until a few days ago was relatively peaceful running battles began with demonstrators who want the Political Class they blame for mismanagement and corruption to leave power try to Storm Parliament building Security Forces responded with tear gas i feel like the message is where protesters to back off and that they cant win and i think that the message of everybody here is that. Lebanons economy has been in turmoil for months a proposal to tax whats up holes which should be a free service triggered the protests in mid october unemployment was rising and the lebanese local currency was losing value in an economy crisis everybodys going to get hungry everybodys going to need to do this. I dont have to convince anybody about whats happening today its clear whats happening who can get their money in the banks we lost a job finally everything this is a country with 5000 years of history it was an amazing country they took everything we have nothing left this is our only option is to go down on the streets and violence we have to use violence were all fighting a 40 year career up the government. There is anger at banks which imposed caps on withdrawals there is a shortage of dollars antiriot police have been using excessive amounts of tear gas to disperse the crowd but antiestablishment protesters are defiant the wounded were in the dozens both protesters and Security Forces were taken to hospitals there is a political vacuum many lebanese are growing impatient with politicians who are refusing to form an independent Government Free of the influence of Political Parties instead they are bickering among themselves for ministerial posts in. The next cabinet this new Government Office allegedly technocrats it was really just a smokescreen for the old ruling oligarchic elite so the processes were really upset this is the 3rd reich the violence is to say when activists said they plan to revive the momentum of the protest movement after a brief lull they announced what they called a week of rage they seem to be living up to that promise the United Nations has already described events in lebanon as dangerous chaos it is what comes next that many fear then a hotel jersey to be able to in that hobby is director of the sat at the advent of washington d. C. And he says lebanons leaders on doing enough to all surprise just as long problem is the ruling class is not responding well to people on the streets one. Thing is just postponing it was phony in performing the formation of a new government even though the protesters have given the new. Prime minister designate a sense the have. A whole month so far to form this one called government but apparently hes not being allowed even by the people who leave him and they picked him to do that job not being allowed to vote that government so the a county is really. In a very bad shape unemployment. Exchange rate of the local currency everything has collapsed and i think its going well there i mean whats happening or since tuesday has been expected i mean that people cannot take it anymore and this is we just entered the 4th month and i think its going to go on like this at all.

Hes intent on defeating his opponent as Prime Minister of the International Recognized government based in tripoli.

The diff toll is expected to rise because of the. Turkey was involved according to sources 333 missiles one targeted a gathering of the Government Forces and another one targeted with unary where were house. The nobody has claimed responsibility over the attack has targeted this military camp which is. South of the province of my rep its a little bit far away from the whole fees but. Their missiles could reach such distances even though they have breached over 1000 kilometer when the targeted. Targets inside the saudi territories but so far over the we are still waiting for with the whole confirm or deny their responsibility over the attack seems that theres also been an escalation in fighting both in sanaa the capital and had dated to whats the reason behind that. Yes as you mentioned that the there is an escalation of the. Government forces try to advance towards the capital sanaa through the. Eastern gate of the capital. Visa spokesman on friday that they have or for you all done a big and wide to scale operation. To the advance towards the capital and the. Military on the gathering of forces could be carried out by the whole of these because this. Regime to reinforce the this military camp which has been already be seized and also can be skated by the whole fees near the region which is just 50 kilometers far from the capital also and what it does you mentioned that there is also an exclusion of both sides and both warring sides are accusing each other all from fulfilling their obligations towards the Peace Convention of so wait. There on the ground for us in santa thank you. Thank you thousands of people are gathering in hong kong for a rally that organizers are calling a universal siege on communists police approve this latest prodemocracy demonstrations that have banned participants from actually marching through the city youre watching live pictures now from hong kong protests theyre entering their 8th month and rallies have often turned violent lets speak now to our correspondent sara clark who joins us live from that rally so its been so many months of unrest what are we expecting at this rally today. Well as you mentioned thousands of are gathering in china to garden just in Central Hong Kong and as you also mentioned the police have approved an assembly but theyve denied the request to munch on this the organizers the Civil Assembly had requested to march from here in central park to cause my bike to a very busy kind of shopping district in hong kong on hong kong but that particular request was approved the group then appealed but that of course that appeal was denied so at the moment weve got a large gathering assembly here in Central Hong Kong calling for democratic reform as you said its a its been called a c. On communism theyre also speaking out against Police Brutality now this is one of a number of rallies being held globally today we have 12 cities or so shes had 12 countries 27 cities taking part in similar rallies around the world of the police the Police Presence here at the moment its quite heavy with a large Police Presence in front of me the whole way around central all the way to add as i mentioned this particular group had said that much to add to your cost and where hong kongs Effective Parliament is biased we believe theres no Water Cannons to situated theyre going to deny any access again the protesters or the organizers have said i want to defect im not sure the moment is peaceful but they do much we do expect the police to try and disperse the crowds so you say theres also speak out against Police Brutality and it does seem that the police have been increasingly cracking down on these prodemocracy rallies. They are increasingly clamping down on these that deny the number of rallies to go ahead over recent months and that was since the january 1st rally here in hong kong theyve also banned a number of festivals and fairs and avenges over the next couple of weeks which is of course Chinese New Year theyve canceled the fireworks which is an annual despite of also canceled at the mine right theres a heavy security presence around hong kong at the moment simply because the protesters have said they want to ramp up their campaign over the Chinese New Year period and also as you mentioned the it is a sign that they clamping down but at the moment you mentioned months of demonstrations these protests is a showing no sign of pulling back as we enter the new year 2020 sarah clarke there for us in the hong kong stay safe there thanks very much.

Now in the United States impeachment managers have filed their brief laying out the arguments for charges against President Donald Trump the senate trial has formally begun with Opening Statements expected on choose day in the briefing document democrats say trumps removal is necessary to protect the integrity of this years election while the president s legal team says trump is on solid legal and constitutional grounds. Or has more on the defense strategy. They are going to argue they say the fundamentals of the 2 articles of impeachment against the president the abuse of power and obstruction of congress theyre going to say from a constitutional and legal standpoint that nothing the president is being accused of is necessarily a crime and they will say it does not rise to the levels of high crimes and misdemeanors something that a president shouldnt be impeached for so theyll have one argument on a legal basis then they will say also number 2 that theres a procedural problem theyre going to argue that the democrats in the house of representatives did not follow proper procedural avenues when they were pursuing impeachment in the house of representatives and that that was biased against the president theyre going to argue that in number 3 theyre going to also are a few a 3rd more subjective thing they are going to say and they wrote in this brief and this is their words if this impeachment is a brazen attempt to overturn the 2016 election and they will say it is also an attempt to affect the 2020 election theyre basically going to make the argument that the democrats could not be donald trump at the polls and so that is why they are trying to impeach him and kick him out of office now the 1st migrants from a caravan moving north through guatemala have been allowed to stop crossing into mexico but under pressure from the white house the government there says it will try to stop them from carrying on in the United StatesJohn Heilemann is at the Mexican Border and sent us this report. On such a day mooning the 1st members of a mass migration of 2000 whom durance arrived at mits caruso the buddha way out. Many been troubling days to get this ball but now they found their way ahead blow. Off their brief scuffle involving a few young men the gates of the buddha bridge were closed. And those like casted a single mom with 4 children settled down to wait for the rest of the caravan to arrive tough to get a little help. I want a Better Future for my children because in honduras you cant get work or even the young. Many here fleeing poverty in some countries murderous gangs in the city and after a pause the mexican authorities began letting them through 20 its a time we could up with eric is he cute i mean you are right my daughter doesnt have shoes because i cant get work its the need that we all have in the country many like johnny help but thinking this easy entrance might be a trip report them were worried that theyll deport a spec to a country after all that its cost us to get this far it didnt help that migration authorities refused to say where they were taking the hondurans in buses but in a minute but they say that meant and what mexicos president said give people visas to work in the south of the country or asylum if they qualify for it but what he wont do is let them pass through and get to the us. That was the aim of most people here to start with and some say they would definitely settle for staying in mexico if they were allowed to join homan aljazeera on the mexico guatemala border. And Chinese HealthOfficials Say 17 more people have been infected by a deadly new virus believed to have originated from an animal lock it 62 cases have already been concerned and 2 people have died all in the central city of will hutton but scientists in london think there could be more than 1700 un confirmed cases a number of airports in the United States are now also screening passengers arriving from china the virus belongs to a family which includes saw as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome which killed nearly 800 people during an outbreak in 2002 in 2003. An eruption warning is still in place for the tall volcano in the philippines but some fishermen and villages living in the area have ignored it and gone back to walk from the bride joined a coast guard patrol as they try to keep people away from the danger. The philippines coast guard is making this Early Morning patrol every day at the moment theres still a restriction in force on anyone going to the island its simply too dangerous to go there and this is part of that. Just as we were approaching the island we saw boats also coming to the island and also we see people on the shoreline here people still have fish farms here so they come out very Early Morning to tend to their fish farms despite warnings that they should be staying away. So theyve been telling the fishing boats they cant stay here they have to leave and some of them have left but we still have these guys on the shoreline here who are determined to stay and theres not much the coast guard it seems can do about that. Were urging them to leave the island and those we see trying to come across we stop because its still a level 4 and weve got to think about safety and as weve been driving around here we see just over the hillside huge billowing clouds of steam and dust coming from the volcano having said that it does seem as though the emissions have dropped in the past few days or so it seems a lot more peaceful so its hard trying to tell people that they can come out here people say look we have livelihoods were going to make a living we have to come out tend to our fish farms or come out and fish what else are we going to do there are villages dotted all around the coastline of this volcanic island as weve been going along with been seeing boats at all of them and people happily at work as though life is getting back to normal and seemingly impervious to the warnings from the coast guard. It seems risky enough just visiting here seems inconceivable that anyone would want to spend any time here with people. They left behind livestock also left behind Domestic Animals we just noticed there was a dog on the shoreline the coast guard here just made an attempt to rescue it put it in the boat but it doesnt seem to want to leave her. The coast guard will be out again tomorrow morning to do the same warning people to stay away and that this is still a very dangerous volcano but what also annoys them they tell us is that while other people are putting their lives at risk by coming out here so well the coast guard by coming out and trying to tell them to stay away well heavy snowfall in parts of afghanistan has killed dozens of people in recent weeks. He went to harrods province in the west where people facing haase conditions are peeling for help. In villages all over the country afghans live in much the same way they have for centuries there are no gas or electricity lines people still collect the wood they burn to stay warm in winter oh. Thats how 18 year old mother died his father said he walked to a nearby forest to gather brush for a fire to keep the family warm through the night but he never came. Out of the out of the way. We thought that he went to his sisters house on the other side of the woods to not work at night so we went there the next day we found his body in the snow our next years father said his son probably became tired walking in the heavy snow and with no one to help him fell asleep and froze to death. Conditions are miserable for people in other a scone district one man in this village said here in the forgotten corners of afghanistan people are a living waiting to die. Snowfall was so heavy this year the roof of my johns mud house collapsed in the middle of the night her family was sleeping when it happened. I ran out of the room and my husband was screaming for help it was only able to pull my children out of doing things my husband was trapped and tied on to develop all when the neighbors came they removed his body. Even before the storm she did not have much now a widow sitting outside her broken home she seems completely lost though tragic local Officials Say the overall death toll in this area has been low but village elders say they are in serious need of help weather related illnesses and injuries have affected nearly every one of the 700 homes in this Community People we met said that the winters in this part of the country have been getting increasingly more and more extreme but the cold is more severe than they have ever experienced in the past and we are expecting 2 more months of snow fall and they are already worried about the next disaster when the snow eventually melts and floods their homes even if people wanted to leave their Ancestral Lands they say they have nowhere else to go if they dont get help soon elders here worry out of work young men could join armed groups like the taliban more as a matter of survival than ideology. I got these people are jobless and they do not have anything to eat if these men commit rogueries or join insurgents and it is the right. The biggest complaint we heard was that people here need a Medical Clinic the nearest one is in district headquarters on the other side of snow covered hills one woman said people have no choice but to walk while they still can before the next storm. It seems desperate but they may be the lucky ones deeper in the mountains where the roads are still covered in snow district Officials Say many villages remain in accessible and the true scale of human suffering still out of sight unseen basra the other risk on district Herat Province afghanistan. Library is around the world are constantly looking for ways to keep up in the digital age and in a strangely one initiative has proven especially popular and its gaining traction Andrew Thomas has more on how one small change has helped to bring people back to the library. Its a brand new library with a new way of lending borrowing a book has been the same for decades people read them for a set amount of time then return them if they dont books become overdue and readers a find when they bring them back. But thats changing Many Australian libraries have since 27 so you tested a you know following policy managers say yes to save stuff time and the costs of administration which were 10 times higher than the revenue raised from fines potential fines also put off poor people from using libraries and stopped them borrowing books once they owed fines they couldnt pay in the 1st trial that we had the amount of items they got returned to the library was 3 times as many that we usually have any its sorry that was close to 70000 items that came back so we regained a whole lot of customers that hadnt been using our services because they were either afraid of the fines that with a or a bit embarrassed to come back the trial has become a permanent change we just want this to be a welcoming friendly place and having fines and chasing people down for money is really not the kind of relationship that we want to have with that community in the digital age libraries like this one mostly lend traditional books they need to change to survive but opinion is divided its great because i get them during have to try and remember the dates and things like that and then if you just come in whenever it suits us other people is waiting for the opportunity to read to the same bolt if they are not penalized than the other person will be lost opportunity but there are no Foreign Policy is spreading this initiative is one thats proving popular with councils across australia and beyond borrowing the idea libraries in scandinavia britain and the United States have scrapped the fine system other countries too considering taking a leaf out of the same book under thomas aljazeera sydney.
