Chief antonio has had is has called for a credible investigation into the cause of the blasts on sunday World Leaders and International Organizations pledged nearly 300000000. 00 in aid for the people of lebanon it is important that the prevalence or spread of the investigation determined the cause of the explosion and bring about the accountability demanded by the lebanese people it is also important that reforms be implemented sourced with the rest the needs of the lebanese people for the longer term. Well Bennett Smith joins me now live from beirut bennett were expecting an announcement any time now from the Prime Minister what more can you tell us. Weve been told the Prime Minister is going to address the nation in an hour and a half from now and hes going to tell him hes resigned before that hell be speaking lebanons president to formally offer his resignation and that of his cabinet what then happens is the Prime Minister has on the remains as a caretaker Prime Minister as does his cabinet until paloma nt appoints a new cabinet and a new Prime Minister will not necessarily looking at new elections we could be looking at a new cabinet but the difficulty of the problem with that is this the current cabinet is hezbollah dominated by hezbollah and its allies the next cabinet which will be appointed in the coming days by the part of me towards the end of the week the opposition say they are not prepared to work with the current leadership of the government the opposition unless theres some sort of back room deal that we dont know anything about so you could end up with another cabinet of different faces but the same old politics is the massive challenge here the clean break that dramatic change that people have been on the have been crying out for is unlikely to come. And this sort of political stalemate and are looking to the future but this sort of stalemate this power tug of war i mean weve seen this before an 11 on do you think this will be enough to put to placate protest. Well there is there is it wont be enough to placate the anger of the people who live in those in homes destroyed by tuesdays explosions but there is enormous pressure this Time International pressure on the lebanese government to become only some sort of. Money from the french press. Leading the calls for to try and force the political elite to form some sort of government of National Unity with all parties working together its going to be extremely difficult for them to do that as weve said the opposition is not currently prepared to work with the government in any way shape or form but will be enough pressure well have to see over the coming coming days after say the people weve been speaking to about this experts about this and b. Promising a very cynical they dont believe that even the catastrophe of tuesdays explosion is an explosion is enough to force lebanons politicians to change what people say they need these massive International Pressure on the political elites that run this country to force them to change that is what people are asking for but its a very big call and is indeed the now we will be checking back in with you Bernard Smith thank you live from beirut or kristen salumi is that the United Nations in new york chris and youve been listening in to that u. N. Briefing on the situation in lebanon whats come out of it so far. Well were hearing the United Nations and various officials including secretary general antonio good taras call for more International Support to help lebanon through what he described as this huge catastrophe. But hes also calling for reforms and accountability a credible investigation into what happened in lebanon and thats the underlying theme really to all of the remarks today while country leaders have come forward country representatives are coming forward and pledging to support lebannon underneath it all is the realization that the people are very angry and looking for the government to change and they want to be sure that the money that is put out by the International Community actually gets to the people so weve heard from promises of support from these countries we know the United Nations has loosened up 15000000. 00 already for lebanon in terms of humanitarian support and Emergency Response the International Community itself pledged nearly 300000000. 00 but in the words of humanitarian chief mark the anger in the streets is palpable and it needs to be addressed the people need to be heard that was echoed by the head of the world faute food Program David beasley he said that lebanon could run out of food in 2 and a half weeks without International Intervention and big part of that is that the silo that held the countrys grain supplies was in the port of lebanon and destroyed with that blast. Right now the World Food Program is looking for ways around that theyve got wheat flour coming in so that bread can be made there looking at alternative arrangements and rebuilding inside the port area in order to be able to deliver these much needed Food Supplies not only to the lebanese people but to the considerable refugee population in lebanon as well thats also a big concern for the United Nations with syria and. Alice tinian refugees also being very vulnerable at a time of an International Pandemic no less in the country with more than 300000. 00 people now homeless so were hearing u. N. Officials paint a very dire picture a strong need for International Support but also the realization that there needs to be some sort of investigation and some sort of reform in order for the long term needs of the lebanese people to actually be met here my my next question kristen you know they dont as in the middle of a banking crisis a currency crisis a debt crisis and now a humanitarian crisis was this meeting solely looking at meeting immediate needs a was there any discussion about the rebuilding. Yes in very general terms again it comes down to this need for accountability and i think the question that everybodys talking about and no one is directly addressing is where will that accountability come from the United Nations has said that it would be willing to contribute to an International Investigation of the situation in lebanon if it is asked so far it has not been the lebanese authorities have been working with french authorities to conduct their own investigation they would need to ask the u. N. Or a u. N. Body like the Security Council or General Assembly would need to request the u. N. To investigate the situation there no ones gone that far yet people seem to be waiting but theres also seems to be a reluctance to move forward with this government given there is so much uncertainty there right now but weve heard high ranking government officials even the foreign minister of egypt and jordan showed up for this virtual Online Meeting to say that the peoples new of lebanon will not be abandoned by their government so lack of specifics right now but pledge of support from 50 countries have signed up to speak at this meeting so and were hearing from them this pledge of support for the people in this very dire situation thanks for that update there kristen salumi live from the United Nations a high co women is a project director for iraq syria and lebanon at the International Crisis group he joins us now by skype from gaza in austria thank you for your time we are in the middle of a very fluid situation we are expecting in the next hour and a half the Prime Minister to announce that the government is out of the way and were hearing from our correspondent at a caretaker government is the likely option one of the issues would that do you think that will be enough to address the issues that protest is raising. No of course not. Basically what seems likely now to happen is the Us Government or is really a nation and that means not simply perhaps the becoming government hangs on or limbs on if you want but in caretaker function and a caretaker government by definition has a very limited competence and so this certainly cannot initiate any of the reforms the rule on the substantial radical reform that is going modernist start. One of the other options thats been talked about is the idea of a unity government what do you think the chances of that happening are what would that look like. Well i mean a Thing Community unity government is essentially another word for bringing back the parties the forces that are not because of the current government in other words they start early in the future movement from perhaps one or 2 other parties but how do you know if there is or isnt obviously the key name here and some i suspect the idea is that with such a National Unity government the chances to unlock the potential support are going to increase with the previoUs Government has done is they have a signal of the intense they have taken some steps but theyre fallen far short of implementation and they have been hobbled by various internal problems so tender and of course foreign donors are very reluctant and have made it clear that they will not. Provide support before they actually see results now perhaps the idea is that without any back in the game its reputation this networks and of the. Compassion or the sympathy of the disaster perhaps making more just just 2 words in the form and taking more steps in the direction large and implementing will already unlock unlock their the age that its this but in the same kind of counterintuitive raising the name saad hariri who hasnt been gone from the post survivalist a for that long just explain to our International Audience why that name is still being bandied about why you think that he may reappear here. Sooner sensually the current government whos only appointed in this storm after a drawn out attempts went on for 6 weeks. To convince such a hurry to to be here to be part of the next government as well which in one way or another theyre rickly or indirectly and after all of that failed in the end finally the party starts courting this government settles what is a version which they which was never there if ever. There was a very clear and weve heard that back then time and again that they they realized that government like that that was easily could easily be described as one of control government as many at once uncertainty will find it hard to build a consensus internally and support and find support externally now you know obviously this stance who are. Other regional players. We know that you are that iran is support supportable is one option early stance for links to the gulf how you stance or at least some kind of relations with the United States hariri stance the nations france france. Is actually french that is that is a principle and so the hope is that somebody like him and you can get it can get one acceptance more credit so to speak of brought for reform project to him this is certainly what will drive bring him in and then of course the issue that in a situation like that you will narrow majority in parliament in any political system you find it difficult to move but in a system that is build a consensus like lebanese its now possible. Ok and theres the live pictures that weve been looking at the army rolling through the streets of beirut of course there have been tuning consecutive nights of protests. The past few nights following that massive explosion at the bay report anger is obviously overflowing we will say across the story and as our correspondent correspondent mentioned we are expecting to hear from the Prime Minister in about an hour and 15 minutes that was hard to women there project director for iraq syria and lebanon at the International Crisis group thank you.

Pretty universally negatively it has to be said both towards the election in the conduct of the election itself and to the aftermath the loudest voice if you like from the law and the European Commission president demanding that the results of the election be published transparently and in full as quickly as possible saying that harassment and violent repression of Peaceful Protesters has no place in europe shes backed up by her Foreign Policy chief justice calling for the Immediate Release of all of those 3000. 00 or so people who have been detained during the election period and over the last few hours and the loudest voice among the Member States of the European Union is germany at this point the government in berlin talking about its strong doubts about this election saying that minimum standards have clearly not met the Foreign Ministry in berlin talking about a setback for belarus alluding to recent times in which Alexander Lukashenko has tried to build bridges with europe as his relationship with russia and president putin has appeared to fray theres even talk of sanctions possibly being reimposed the ministry has observed massive repression and arbitrary arrests in the run up to the election says the german Foreign Ministry and the government there it says used pollak the policy of intimidation to target journalists and bloggers and this sort of chorus of condemnation continuing other countries new you close to belarus close to its borders latvia lithuania the Czech Republic poland calling for an emergency session of the union of this of course completely unprecedented or unexpected when you consider that foreign observers on the ground watching elections in belarus havent found one to be free fair or credible since 1995 of course a step was reporting there were a huge part of us as a result we will be monitoring that the season as well and now john hope franklin.

Get more now on our breaking story in lebanon Bernard Smith joins us now live from beirut and so were hearing that the government has actually resigned what can you tell us. A yes the government has resigned it will be official when the Prime Minister addresses the nation in about an hour from now he has to visit lebanons president 1st to submit his resignation as we mentioned earlier but not necessarily the end of the story because then the Prime Minister becomes a caretaker Prime Minister a caretaker cabinet and he has to be replaced and we know there are negotiations going on at the moment as to who the Prime Minister will be replaced. With who his new cabinet will be 2 new names of 2 Prime Ministers are being speculated at the moment we understand the 1st one is a riri so that would be Something Like out with the new and in with the old because he only resigned in january under enormous International Pressure because of the collapse of the Lebanese Army its Banking Sector and its currency he was replaced by her son who has now resigned another name being suggested is now off hes a former diplomat and a current judge of the International Court of justice he is what a lot of independent groups he might be more happy with but hes certainly more pro western and in the past when his name has been suggested hes been rejected by hezbollah and hezbollah aligned parties so it seems negotiations going on at the moment but certainly well hear the official news of the resignation in an hour from now but if were looking at live pictures i believe not too far from way you are of protest is gathering a lot of people there prepared to tear gas goggles mosques quite a few people out there on the streets have had 2 nights of protests the past 2 evenings what are you seeing what are you hearing about whats happening out there on the streets. Well there are some people gathering where im in martyr square and the last 2 nights have actually been on a much smaller scale the protests than they were on saturday night and the worse some small confrontations on on the last couple of nights between some protesters and Security Forces as the protesters are trying to get to the Parliament Building the problem for the protesters the problem of all of the people in lebanon who want change is that its extraordinarily difficult to action not change in the current lebanese political system because even if there is an election the election system means that extremely difficult for independent candidates to break through the threshold of votes they must get before they can get any seat is designed to protect the political elites who run this country and their extreme we all know why plead to agree to change the electoral system because that would result in them losing power so the problem for the protesters here and everybody else in lebanon who wants to see change is with the current setup its very difficult to affect it even if there is the change of government that were going to see over the next 24 hours for sure well be checking back in with you throughout the evening for now ben and smith air live from beirut thank you.

But 3 more than 2 months since the killing of george floyd at the hands of police in the United States and as protests continue the message is no longer just about specific incidents is of violence but about what demonstrators say is systemic racism and policing of the most obvious examples is the widespread use of facial Recognition Systems that have been proven to misidentify people of color she had tons of reports when black lives matter activists take to the streets theyre clear theyre not protesting against a few bad apples in Police Departments but a system of policing that switching lead or unwittingly targets people of color and they say needs to be completely overhauled the widespread use of facial Recognition Software by Police Forces apparently unconcerned by the technologies in accuracy is a clear example of this Robert Williams was interrogated having been arrested and taken into custody by Detroit Police the day before and it soon became clear he had been misidentified a look i said not a somali he tells another payroll we see i guess this nigerian.

Technology when you get that money. Back in peoples lives and there is the polices use of technology that has been proven to misidentify black people is just another example of why so many have mobilized not to reform the police but to restructure policing entirely even when there are multiple empirical studies proving race discrimination in software that is routinely used some Police Departments still reluctant to change.
