Violent protests following the weekends Election Results. And we take a look at the coastal city in bend in thats restoring monuments from the slave trade era. Its exactly one week since a massive explosion devastated lebanons capital now crowds in beirut have gathered near the site of the blast for a vigil. A minutes silence was held for the more than 200. 00 killed and their names each read out on out crowds walk through some of beiruts worst hit neighborhoods marching to would be parliament the blast injured thousands of people in the hundreds of thousands homeless. Protest is now gathering outside the parliament have been trying stones and debris toward the building these are live pictures it comes off to lebanons Prime Minister and president had reportedly been warned just last month about the dangerous material being stored at beiruts Port Security documents seen by the Reuters News Agency say leaders were told the 2750 tons of Ammonium Nitrate could destroy the capitol if it exploded their bodies Prime Minister has on his cabinet reside monday following widespread public theory was that khalid joins us now live from beirut say you were at that vigil near the port just tell us what happened. Well it was an emotional vigil just outside the beirut port the site of that massive explosion a lot of people crying remember the moment that really changed the lives of so many people a massive blast that destroyed many areas in the lebanese capital 171 People Killed thats the latest death toll 30 to 40 people still missing the rescue search teams excuse me continue to dig underneath the rubble at the poor to try to find the bodies a fire truck arrived at the ceremony and people were cheering because firefighters they were the 1st responders what happened was there was a fire at least this is what initial investigation show and firefighters arrived to try to put out the flames which spread to warehouse 12 where that highly explosive material was stored and there was so much anger weve been speaking to people they they believe that there should be an International Investigation that they dont trust lebanese authorities who are well aware of the presence of this highly explosive material the president himself just a few days ago acknowledging that a report that reached his desk and he read that report and he knew that Ammonium Nitrate was stored at beirut ports he said that he talked to the higher defense counsel told them to deal with the situation and that its not his responsibility but people are saying youre the president youre the head of the armed forces so people are angry they have lost faith in the authorities and really they feel that you know there should be change theyve these people have been in the streets way before the blast months and months in the streets asking for a new leadership asking for political change but theyre up against a militarized state so its going to be a very difficult challenge we are seeing some pictures as we speak to you live pictures of People Near Parliament building throwing stones a smaller crowd than weve seen in previous nights but nevertheless zain to tell us you mentioned the calls for an international invest. And what about the investigation within lebanon is there any progress being made in that investigation into the explosion. Well the government handed the file to the judiciary but critics of the government and the whole political system will say the judiciary is politicized judges are appointed by the same political elite that governs the country so they just dont have faith in the judiciary as well and you mentioned people still throwing stones towards Parliament Building this is going to be the 4th night of violence people are still angry the governments resignation did not quell their anger they feel that the government now you know is going to remain in a caretaker capacity in theres going to be a lot of horse trading behind closed doors the same political factions trying to come up with some sort of a National Unity government as it is well known in lebanon where the different Political Parties those in the opposition those in the Ruling Alliance coming together but at the end of the day it is the International Community which really holds the cards right now because the government is almost broke the case of the state is nearly bankrupt so that they need billions of dollars and they can only get that from the International Community and the International Community is making it very very clear that the new leadership house to carry out reforms has to fight corruption but what is not clear yet is whether or not the International Community is going to support the demand from the street which is an independent salvation government or whether the International Community will accept Political Parties traditional parties returning to power but on condition that they will carry out the reforms so that is why there is still so much anger in the street they they believe that those in power should be held accountable there should be justice we are seeing riot police now being pelted with stones as we have seen in the last few nights riot police have been prepared for any out. Vitamines just tell us about the anger on the streets the feeling that people have now one we call on you know. Government has resigned but will that be enough. Im sorry i didnt hear you very well but yes the government has resigned so the people for them its not enough they want the whole Political Class the political powers that have been governing lebannon even before the end of the war some of the politicians were former warlords they believe they should leave not just leave power that was the demand before the blast now its leave power and they should be held accountable and they should be taken to court for for that for the negligence people feel that those in power dont care about the people and that is why theres so much anger but we have to point out that those those people you are seeing on your screens now pelting the parliament and engaging in confrontations with the antiriot police are not that many a few 100 people are afraid of the Security Forces because they have used Excessive Force people are disillusioned they feel feel that theyre up against a state that is ready to use all the power that it that it has in order to clamp down on any protest movement and then you have people who still support those in power for a number of reasons aijalon chicle reasons and some of the supporters of the Political Parties believe that the sectarian system protects them this is a country that has many different religious sects and the political the political system gives every sect for example for example the maronite christians the presidency is for them the muslim son is the prime ministry and then you have the muslim shiites then you have the speaker of parliament has to be from the Shia Community so they feel the system protects them you know if you talk to some lets say a supporter of the Christian Free Patriotic Movement of the president michel aoun they will say were worried that the other side. It will call for an election where theres one alec turold district then theyll say they say that the christians wont get any seats in parliament because the constitution guarantees that christians and muslims get the same amount of seats is equally divided between christians and muslims in parliament so that is why some are so afraid. To accept really change but president mccall many believe came to lebanon with a Political Initiative and when he said we need a new political order in levanon there are different interpretations on what exactly did he mean did he mean that the International Community will accept the same Political Parties but you know there will be conditions attached to how they govern or a new political order does that mean new faces technocrats people who are not involved with these Political Parties that is what is still not clear at this moment and so that is why you see people still taking to the streets the show upset for example when they heard yesterday that the former Prime Minister sagal had easy could be a possible candidate to take over the the next government they said that he too should should leave office just because he resigned a few months ago in the midst of the National Uprising he should not be allowed to return to office so there is a divide a political divide in this country for a few moments you heard the church bells ringing alongside the muslim call to prayer during that ceremony but in reality that blast brought people together only for a few moments this is a deeply divided nation. Thank you for that that cross one example of their development from beirut. And other news russia has become the 1st country in the world to approve the widespread use of a Coronavirus Vaccine it comes after only 2 months of human testing president Vladimir Putin has dismissed concerns saying the vaccine is safe and effective he says its even been administered to one of his daughter is the w. H. O. Says it wont endorse the russian vaccine without a rigorous safety review. Really i can just say that we are in close contact with the Russian Health authorities and discussions respecting possible. Of democracy but again prequalification of. The rigorous review process all of. Which all the angela has been following the story for us she says there are concerns about the speed of the announcement. The vaccine is based on a proven vaccine against a dina virus which is the common cold theyre calling it sputnik 5 after the 1st russian satellite into space and they say it comes in 2 doses the 1st dose developing some immune response after 21. 00 days the 2nd dose doubling that immunity level and lasting for 2 years so its very unclear how they could come to that conclusion so early in the trial phase so obviously concerns there about the speed of this announcement and theyre also going to be questions about the contents of this vaccine after Britains National Cybersecurity Center reported that hackers backed by the russian state had tried to gain access to covert 19 Vaccine Research from academic and pharmaceutical institutions across the world as allegations that moscow denies but the u. K. The u. S. And canada stand by those quite unusual accusations linking them directly to the russian state. What does it mean for other vaccines in development we know theres 100 being developed around the world well there are 4 in those phase 3 Clinical Trials at the moment so i think for russia to be saying it is one in this race to find the 1st vaccine against covert 19 is premature until it has that w. H. O. Stamp of approval. Still to come on aljazeera brought to a yacht club in handcuffs Hong Kong Police search for evidence relating to a media tycoon.
