Had many other wars since then 2006 war so many israeli air strikes wars are spinning camps so were constantly kind of at war whether we call the war over or not and the reason why were at war also because the warlords are still in power theyve been in power for 30 or 40 years now and why are they still in power why would anybody want to lose that because the International Community has decided to pick favorites and so they support. The United States has its allies iran has its allies france saudi arabia they all have allies theyve been pumping money and weapons into it for years and years and years so we can say that International Support will help lebanon because lebanon is perseid asli a product of the International Community lebanon was a colony and lebanon continues to be colonized in many ways by these countries that are putting money behind these warlords so i think the real question for all of us living outside of lebanon is how committed is the International Community to really helping love or not do they really want to see peace in lebanon or we continue to see a war between a cold war between the United States and iran and saudi arabia and israel all happening within lebanon all those arms and live in conflicts all around lebanon thats the only way we can really see a better lebanon is if the countries of the world will decide that its time to stop pursuing your interests as time to stop treating lebanon as a chessboard so you know theres part of the equation happens in lebanon but a big part of it you know the real life support of these regimes of militias really comes from outside the country. Well looking at live pictures while were speaking to you. It looks like there riot police perhaps members of the military on the streets to keep the peace out there a correspondent has been saying that its quieter actually on the streets tonight that it has been in previous nights so far at least how do you think that the people of lebanon are going to respond to this latest announcement that the government has resigned. Well weve seen many governments resign and levanon so its not really a brand new thing and will really be a big change unless there are elections so itll be a bit skeptical of a wait and see what happens then we wait to see if really does leave office again they could stay for quite a while i think it will d be kind of worried and anxious also about how it will affect the already plummeting currency the currency is 80 percent loss of its value people are you know already they were already down before these you know massive tomic bomb like explosion happened in the country so this could hurt the economy in the short term i think well have to see how quickly we can move to elections elections are really the only answer but then when it comes to elections again we cant underestimate these parties they have a little machines they have big Organizational Networks they have lots of money again foreign support france france has supported the i read dynasty for generations. So these parties are really tough to compete against when it comes to election and also remember that in lebanon those who are in power are not necessarily elected you know side as in the struggle leader of hezbollah is not elected so again theres power outside of the political system in this country its quite a challenge but i think the International Community needs to kind of really reckon with this idea that we want to have an independent and neutral levanon who will have a lebanon at peace and that peace again is going to be determined by those countries that sell weapons to our new. Thank you so much for analysis. There live from lebanon thank you. We begin with breaking news lebanons Prime Minister has announced the resignation of his government formally made the announcement a short while ago after a crucial meeting with his ministers he condemned corruption and the countrys elite been widely blamed for tuesdays port explosion which killed more than 200 people a live look at this particular moment we have to go back to the people to fight with them against corruption we need to open the door to National Salvage National Rescue we need to be part of the people so i declare today the resignation of this government god bless lebanon. Or most of dab speech was aimed at increasingly frustrated protesters there the days of demonstrations following the blast rallying against incompetence and corruption things and live pictures these are not live pictures but we will be going live to bury very shortly i can tell you people are out on the streets again in the capital demonstrators have been demanding a complete overhaul of the political system and new elections where the uns office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs has been meeting to discuss the situation in lebanon u. N. Chief antonio tests has called for a credible investigation into the cause of the blast on sunday World Leaders and International Organizations pledged nearly 300000000 dollars and 8 it is important that the people and so spread of the investigation of the the cause of the explosion and bring about the accountability demanded by the lebanese people is also important reforms the source the needs of the lebanese people for the long. We have correspondents covering the international and domestic reaction in a moment well hear from christensen there me who is at the United Nations in new york but 1st lets go to bed of smith who is in beirut so then a day government has resigned whats happening there. While the confrontations with. The love how much calm down. A little bit of gazas just been thrown in the. Shoes the bulk of the crowd. Has been pushed back away from martyr square and away lets just walk a little bit while were talking. Obviously there is a lot of frustration and anger. Here in lebanon and weve seen out on the streets protests have lasted a bit longer the saving the had on previous nights Security Forces have been fairly heavy handed and cracking down on the Lebanese Red Cross said to have been some in the east. Ok but it will get you to stay safe if youre in a safe safe i say are moving and we can think talking to you right now as weve been saying. The government has resigned how does this stack up for what the protesters want does this meet their demands for a full political reform. You know. Well be initial call that a lot of people wanted because they wanted fresh election its. Just. This is the right place trying to discuss disperse the crowds the initial call was they wanted fresh elections it doesnt look like were going to get docs people are going to get that much because. Excuse me well just have to renounce the statue come back shortly yeah you have to find a safe spot we will monitor the situation that was our correspondent whos on the ground there in lebanon. Christian salumi a standing by for us chris and if you can hear us you have been listening to the u. N. Briefing on the situation in lebanon on what her it will come out of that yes. Well this was a chance for the humanitarian affairs chief to brief members states on the situation on the ground in lebanon and the international response. So far secretary general antonio terrace called it a huge catastrophe coming on the heels of the Socio Economic problems the coded pandemic and now this explosion and while he was calling on Member States to continue their support for lebanon he also sounded the theme of the need for a credible investigation and the need for government reforms that kind of underlie was underlying everything that he and really most of the speakers were saying so far the International Community has pledged some 300000000. 00 to support levanon but humanitarian chief mark lowcock says that billions will be needed to fully bring lebanon back from the brink and there is concern that money given by the International Community would not go directly to the people but would end up propping up this government which has had so many problems in the words of secretary general good terrace he said the anger on the streets is palpable and it has to be heard so that was really the message coming out of the briefing today it was echoed by other u. N. Officials David Beasley of the World Food Program he also said that without International Support lebanons food situation he would run out of food in 2 and a half weeks so the u. N. Is dealing with those immediate needs food and medical in particular 3 hospitals were destroyed in that blaze so that is a big issue right now for lebanon as well but long term we heard time and again about this need for reform coming not only from u. N. Officials but Member States who spoke as well like jordan in egypt and other neighbors in the region who are very concerned about lebanons ability to come back from this meanwhile im interested will the u. N. Be involved at all in the investigation into the explosion. Well as much as the secretary general said investigation is needed so far the United Nations is not involved in that lebanese authorities are conducting their own investigation with the help of french officials the u. N. Says it would help if asked but it needs an invitation from lebanon or a mandate from a u. N. Body like the Security Council or the General Assembly and so far we havent seen that happen and were not hearing of any request for that to happen yet but clearly things on the ground are changing very quickly thanks for that christensen lummi live for us at the United Nations ok now we can bring in sami now there who is the director of the live on 2 institute for Strategic Affairs he joins us by skype from beirut thank you so much for your time just tell me. Says his government has resigned. I guess now will be looking at who the replacement is going to be what happens now. I think the only possible way if for their heart serious about getting out of the crisis is to bring in and dependent government the will over do not election or election this is the only way to get out of the crisis this is the only way to engage with the i am that is only available solution to a real event on the from that economic collapse because. The explosion was a man who was never a thing by all means by that but let us let us not forget that before the catastrophe of lebanon the war in the middle of an economic collapse and the only way out of that is to engage with the i am or thats q. Program so only an independent government would be capable of. Achieving that inform and unlock the financial promise to lever not buried in damage or who but aimed and once more what they call in National Unity government and the few years are needed because with option was caused during the recent visit that of their friendship president and the why when he was white he was meeting with Political Parties such an option is back to the old system this would be with the anger of the east and it could not achieve that he will defend the crisis lets put it in but its simple terms the old establishment is incapable of the phone or in sport. So. Financed by. This is why i think. This is a national. Community pressure. To bring about an independent government that. Can call and manage the election the only way. To find any ban on on the sustainable. Ok i want to put a question to you there put your few other lebanese and less with head on this evening when has idea made his address he said the political elites have stopped change of blocs change from happening that theyve used all of their weapons against us that the government has tried its best but this political elite are responsible so if its stopping change so is the day he is talking about who is this political elite he is talking about those belong to this chain. But it isnt that solid because. You would he does not belong to any political body. He has been assigned by lets not forget the Political Party or law so the fact that you have to move. Those are the parties represented inside the government laws or the parties who are not the Government Movement these. Issues are. Responsible for. Moving levanon. Situation. Now hes putting the Prime Minister is. Being there on the. Lives of others but to me. That since they want one. Basic forms it was. Was. Initially which was. And and and theyre big. And. Numerous. Reforms it was supposed to do and. The reforms which is our need we should mention in order to unlock International Financial assistance well have to leave it there for now thank you so much for your time sami now theyre the director of the Levant Institute for Strategic Affairs.
