We are living this disaster because of. The wounded people and also because of the material losses in hospitals in the houses institutions in all sectors in the country also there would be 2nd logical problems because these problems 2nd logical problems really a mass i promised the lebanese people that we will never accept these cut those trophy with our with. Punishing those who are responsible no one is protected by whatsoever. All those responsible will be investigated then well answer all the questions of the people before digital charade how can we have such a threat since 9 since 2013 without measures its a very strange that no one has mentioned this talk in any of the sessions of the Supreme Council for defense for 7 years there is material as have been there and these materials have been stored in not a very proper way who are the responsible and the investigation will tell everything investigations will never take a long time the procedures taken by the dishes gives us the impression about the seriousness of the investigation and the investigation with gold to everyone because the pain is big and massive we all feel their pain we all feel the pain and to deal with this catastrophic is that responsibility of us its a big response ability and no one has to thing no one can even imagine that one individual soul to this problem the pain is big. And everyone has to forget about elections and their brother personal interests what we need these days is to be up to the responsibility lebanon is facing act. Catastrophic that cannot be tolerated we are facing catastrophic we are facing a very difficult situation and there are a lot of rumors and false new was to prevent. Assistances to come to lebanon we need not people who are all only dedicated to forms news sadness is big everyone is in pain our country needs all assistance as the government of lebanon thanks all the governments and countries and peoples who are supporting us in this critical time and the critical situation we need a National Solution for the country we came within a very exceptional situation the revolution the anger the corruption the live in his face for decades and the explosion that took place 4 days ago is one of the results of these corruption. This corruption and the mismanagement led lebanon to the situation that we are facing now our government is committed to the demands of the revolution we know that the country is facing financial and political problems but to be real we cannot face this problem unless we have only elections to have new and to produce new political. People and new parliament we need new political elites and the new parliament we need to Work Together in order to overcome this difficult period we know and you know the questions of the people about the results of the catastrophic and the how the government will deal with these results and with these after shock the martyrs have gone mere love is still is mercy on them and its a big loss to their families families have lost the father and the parents have lost their kids and kids have lost their parents that kept us trophy is way bigger than anyone can imagine the wounded people are in the thousands and the impact might stay for ever houses and homes have been devastated have been damaged we have people who are homeless now. We have people who lost or root that fruits of their lives its an emergency situation its not about the explosion its an emergency situation regarding the future the fate of our nation of our country thats why. All the political power has to agree they dont have enough time. To be up to response ability for 2 months they should not stand against the development of the country in order to build our country on monday i would propose. For early elections and we need to understand that the catastrophic is massive and we need exceptional decisions in order to face the realities as if they are the lebanese people and will never have mercy on those who are standing against the benefits of the country i am the Prime Minister and i am with the ambitions of the lebanese. With the ambitions of achieving chand changes may our love is still his message on the maters long live lebanon. Well you have just been listening there to lebanons Prime Minister how sunday as he addressed the nation and the aftermath of choose days a deadly port explosion which left at least 158 people dead thousands injured 300000 homeless as you can see weve seen thousands take to the streets in beirut furious with government ineptitude and corruption there still on the streets as you can see right now mr dean has been promising accountability for all of those responsible and has criticized endemic corruption he is now calling for early elections in order to replace the current elites in Parliament Well 1 lets now go to our correspondents anahata shes in the thick of those protests and marches square in beirut then i want to start with this investigation that has some promise and he says he stands with the people do the people have confidence in his investigation. You know the people do not have confidence in the investigation because the committee that was formed by the government to look into this disaster is made up of politicians from his government as well as security agencies the political and security establishment that people believe should be questioned on why highly explosive material was placed and stored at the warehouse in beirut port for years but husain did say that. Saying that the way out of the crisis is an early election and that you know now that oh no hes going to close it now this if indeed if indeed. Early election the initial reaction i got from the people here was that we won we won so in his words he said we cannot come out of this crisis. Unless we hold an early election and hes talked about a 2 month period he said that hes going to propose this on monday so what does it mean does it mean that it has the backing of the Political Parties or is he just go proposing this to silence strains to quell the i wonder in the streets. Im sorry its very difficult for me to hear you. People are chanting we want the phone of coverage seems. Theres still a lot of defiance the spike the fact that the Security Forces have been using excessive excessive amounts of tear gas what protesters have been doing they stormed the building close by its the Economy Ministry they stormed the Economy Ministry on an hour or so ago they stormed the Foreign Ministry so tool ministry is now occupied by antigovernment protesters so the situation is very tense in the streets. Of he saying. I am going to propose on monday during the cabinet session to hold our early elections so for the people. Here a. Who are its very difficult to look to hear you but i think this is quite significant and maybe people would have wanted him to resign he did not resign he promised accountability but people dont believe that those in power will hold those responsible. 6 for the disaster. But early elections putting that on the table is this a serious proposal or is this a way to quell the anger in the streets to sandia have maybe the Prime Minister but has sandia is beholden to the political powers who run this country they up. Pointed him its their men who are ministers and governments if they decide to pull out of the government if they decide to topple the government then they will topple the Government House and jeff is not a man who has Popular Support sandia does not have m. P. s in parliament that gives him political strength so he is beholden to the Ruling Alliance the Ruling Alliance which is made up of the president michel aoun the head of Parliament Nabih Berri and the iranian backed hezbollah off 3 groups the Ruling Alliance they control the government so has sandia is he speaking on behalf of those parties or is this a personal initiative unlikely because what we have seen his performance since he has taken office he has not been able to take his own decision even if you want to take a decision Political Parties intervene. So this is quite. A significant development. And then on top of that in march the square very much in the thick of those protests will be getting more and more reaction from those demonstrators as to how sunday up speech later but for now santa thank you very much and do stay say. Well the reason that those people are in the streets is because about deadly blast that we saw on tuesday thats reignited all this anger and it also caused 10. 00 to 15000000000. 00 worth of damage to the poor and the wider area our correspondent ben and smith has been getting another perspective on that wreckage. Its not until you move away from the beirut shoreline that you get a real question of the scale of the devastation just over my shoulder the orient queen that was capsized by the force of the blast and every building you see along the skyline has been. In part 2 there isnt a single pane of glass left over just on the other side is the remains of the grain silo and the grain silos. Was most of the grain supply lebannon there is no Strategic Reserve and all around the grain silos the remains twisted remains of the countrys main port warehouses everything in that food included all the goats destroyed or traffic has been diverted to. The coast to tripoli the 2nd but it is having trouble managing with the capacity to manage with the demands of taking in extra supplies it is really at the same time a devastating and a shocking scene. Well lets take you back now to the streets of beirut you can see those fires there still raging and those clouds of tear gas that have been fired at demonstrations they are very much still out on the streets despite Prime Minister how sunday of speech our correspondents anahata is there amongst them they know we heard as we were talking about earlier promise to introduce the suggestion of the elections on monday and you mentioned earlier the demonstrators there are calling it a win but they dont seem to be wanting to leave the streets anytime soon is the anger that is still palpable and is there a way for the current government to try to to stem that with the suggestion of any elections or is are not really going to make a dent. Well he proposed to us just a few minutes ago im not sure if everybody here at the square heard him. But yes it is significant but on what basis what the electoral law the a lot euro law in place was crafted by those in power the Political Parties in power they divided districts they distributed seats in a way that almost in. Wars there when it is very hard for independent candidates to break the barrier during the last election just a few independent one independent. Member of parliament was it was elected so many will say early elections may not be the right solution because that elect or law will ensure that those in power are returned to power but those in the opposition are betting on the fact that those in power have lost a lot of support over recent months that they will be able to change the balance of power now. Saying hes going to propose this. Is not a man who can make independent decisions weve seen it time and time again numerous numerous examples over the past few months those in power the 3 Political Parties in power in many ways control his decisions if he decides something and theyre not happy with it they will tell their ministers to threaten to resign so this is a man who in many ways is beholden to others but. Putting on the table the possibility of early elections seems to be a compromise solution that those in power are offering a way out of this crisis it is a deep deep crisis and those in power can use tear gas they can deploy hundreds of men in the streets hundreds of Security Forces but they are up against a wall they are running a state that is bankrupt they are running a country which is doesnt have enough money they are ruling over a population 50 percent in poverty so soon people are just going to say we dont have anything to loose already today they have storm 2 ministries the Economy Ministry and the Foreign Ministry and it is very very clear where the International Community is standing it is standing on the side of the lebanese people so those in power may have come to realize that some sort of a compromise is me that. There is this International Fund raising conference that president french president has vowed to have on sunday and just very briefly i do want to get your take on on the message to the International Community not only from the protesters that youve been speaking to but also from house and dia of izzie is he basically saying were willing to do what you will say as long as you will give us a hand now in an hour of need. He did not mention the International Community in his speech now this is the International Community wants reforms wants these structure to be changed once the authorities to fight corruption they want them to seal the border with syria because a lot of lebanese goods subsidized goods is being smuggled to syria but its not just that. The border is used by hezbollah which is a group backed by iran which is a group considered a terrorist organization by both the United States and gulf arab allies they use the border to smuggle weapons and fighters and the head of hezbollah made it very very clear the issue of weapons is not on the table the issue of it its not up for discussion so there are a lot of issues still that need to be resolved but this is the governments you know proposing some sort of a compromise where it takes us its still too early to say and well continue watching very closely that is our correspondent zain with a very much in the thick of those protests that youre watching right now they are live pictures from monta square in the lebanese capital beirut and erupting after that deadly blast on tuesday weve seen thousands of people take to the streets today weve seen tear gas fired at them youre watching the fires that burning into the night even as the sun sets as it was saying the Economic Ministry and the Foreign Ministry have been stormed and we will have all the latest for you here on aljazeera much more in the next town to stay with us.
