About peace david with the school woman boil over djokovic breezing through his 1st round match in front of him 2 stands at the u. S. Open. Thank you for joining us french president Emmanuel Kohl is aging the quake formation of a new lebanese government to steer the country out of its deep political and economic crisis hes calling it the last chance for lebanon system michael has visited the beirut or for a 2nd time since the explosion on august 4th which killed almost 200. 00 people. And left hundreds of thousands homeless mustafa was named Prime Minister just hours before Michael Moore landed in beirut on monday live to our jazeera zina harder whos in beirut motss square in the center of the nepalese capital zina people are protesting today to coincide with michaels visit what is their message. For you as theyve started to gather at the epicenter of a protest movement that began in october to demand the ruling class is toppled people here feel that the Prime Minister who was appointed yesterday is a product of the Political Class he was appointed by them so he will remain hostage to them and he will not be able to carry out the much needed reforms to our luck Financial Aid the other message they have is to the president across and they believe the International Community should do more they believe them to National Community was part of this deal that brought about a new Prime Minister and they believe that mccrone should have pushed harder to install him and the man then to the government but not crown and so its back to the accusations really and said that im not an elected official im not the average here to replace the Political Leadership i can do is put pressure monitor leadership that was elected by the people and in fact micron that hint that sanctions against the ruling class is not on the table if they do not carry out the reforms needed to reach a deal with the i. M. F. To kick start the lebanese economy tell us more about frances role in this crisis zina mccoy has said france cant interfere in lebanon spin in a cool affairs and yet have the same time the french are playing the role of a almost power broker here. Or war. Or all the france projecting mccrum projecting power and to the west ever saw. Since his 1st visit to lebanon 2 days after the explosion not to beirut or to really present thing himself as a savior to the lebanese people at 1st it was welcome and now people are kind of skeptical saying that is the point to give the politicians a lifeline to continue but france really the fact that he came back today it was his choice he chose the date when he was to return to lebanon hes not invited today is symbolic its the 100th anniversary since the creation of greater lebanon as states which was proclaimed by the french mandate the store it is still a lot of symbolism here so there are a lot of critics who say that the you know this is france trying to revive its traditional role in lebanon no doubt french french influence has waned over the years and today the main power brokers are the United States and iran what france is trying to say and this is according to many of services that i can mediate and this crisis between the u. S. And iran which is playing out in lebanon. We were seeing some live pictures now of some of the protests in beirut today as youve said crowds gathering what is the most urgent priority right now for the never nice people there of course have a knot of grievances what is the most important thing for them to achieve right now. But as you can imagine fully the economy 50 more than 50 percent of the population live below the poverty line the Unemployment Rate is now at 30 percent many businesses are shutting down the currency has lost value over recent months 80 percent the majority of the lebanese people earn in the local currency so their value the value of their salaries their savings just plummeted the price of food is soaring so the priority for the people here is to improve the dire Economic Situation levanon needs. Hard currency needs billions of dollars the country is not going to get that the International Community has made that clear time and time again are not giving blank checks they believe that the Political Class have been exploiting the states resources for so many years they accuse them of corruption and mismanagement so theyre not going to unleash billions of dollars of aid unless the Political Class agrees that too much much needed reforms so as you could imagine and the court last that happened on august 4th just then poverty and even more people so many other people lost their jobs their livelihoods so the situation is quite dire there is an emergency in terms of improving the Economic Situation thank you for those in a harder reporting there live from the center of beirut where protesters are gathering again today coinciding with the visit of the french president emanuel who is in beirut for the 2nd time in less than a month now he came early after that port explosion the deadly explosion on august 4th lets discuss this further with paul salem whos the president of the middle east institute hes via skype from washington d. C. Thank you very much misinformation with us on the news hour and money in my core is almost threatening lebanese leaders he says he will not release the funds to lebanon at the 2800 paris conference unless reforms are implemented another ultimatum from france do you think this increased and sustained external pressure now will force the lebanese leadership to get its act together and enact these reforms. No i dont think so indeed to president mccraw is using a lot of that leverage hes also threatened sanctions french sanctions but then surely european sanctions against members of the ruling class if they dont respond the United States in the background is also threatening sanctions against leading individuals in lebanon i think that has moved the ruling class to move quickly and try to form a new government but theyve also said like to a Prime Minister and are about to form a government which resembles business as usual where all their interests can be represented i think they will try to do the absolute minimum to get by over the next few months without triggering sanctions but i think given their interests and given the influence of hezbollah on most of them actually fundamental reform is something they are not even theyre not able to do because of their own interests and the power structure that exists which is why the people are reading calling for a complete change right not piecemeal change right and this palace sect structure has really been at the heart of the discontent of many of the lebanese people that weve been hearing from many of them calling for a new system of government a non sectarian based system but this is also the system thats been keeping the peace will next sent isnt it i mean if not this system then whats. Well certainly the main demand of the protest has been that the current public guards and rulers it leave and are replaced by a Different Group of people thats been the main slogan in arabic could be and he could not meaning they all must go and that has been the main demand because people do recognize that the corruption of the ruling class the cronyism the way theyve govern the country over the past 30 years has led us to where we are. Within the broader very wide spectrum of the revolution are also calling for not just a change of the rulers but a change of the system that is very much more complex and that there is no there is ways to do that gradually with steps such as establishing a 2nd house of parliament a number of steps that can be can be made but there isnt an obvious alternative given that the country remains as somewhat dangerously divided right you do have hezbollah theres a lot of arms around so its not a very clear path to how you completely change this is the mobile that is a major demand as my call himself said it is making a very brisky bad here why why is fun so keen do you think to take on this major role of the main power broker in lebanon right now when until now you know regional powers like iran supporting hezbollah our even the u. S. Have been more active whats in it for funds and can it be the one to succeed do you think in bringing somebody to have an ott. Well i know that he said its a risky bet i would kind of disagree with his statement in the sense that what is risky for france and for lebanon and for many countries is not to try to do something and to see lebanon completely disintegrate and to see this state really collapse or fail and have a failed state or in the Eastern Mediterranean in addition to the many failed states on the mediterranean as well as France Europe in general and certain United States and other countries in the region including iran do not have an interest in the lebanese state fully collapsing so i think what president mccrone is doing is very much in the french interest. France and lebanon have her a very historic and long relationship france is also engaged in a struggle for sort of management dominance control in the mediterranean particularly the Eastern Mediterranean where turkey is a power thats challenging greece and some of the open european powers so its a very complex struggle in the Eastern Mediterranean and lebanon is part of that i think its excellent that the french president is investing so much of his time given that the lebanese meters have not been able to do much of anything and given that treaty the United States is still fairly absent. And not to a very president and trying to see this crisis to a save conclusion its a risky bet in the sense that lebanon is a very complicated plays and he could certainly fail but not doing anything i would say is riskier thank you so much for talking to us and sharing your views with us paul same president of the middle east institute joining us from washington thank you for your time. In other world news israel has reopened its only Border Crossing with gaza after reaching an agreement with hamas to end 2 weeks of hostilities along the border the ceasefire deal brokered by qatar will allow for critical supplies including fuel to cross into the besieged enclave as springing harry foster who is live for us from western jerusalem harry tell us more for us about the terms of this deal. Well yes indeed both sides i think had short term interests in getting this deal done for israel it brings an end to the in century balloons and rocket fire that have been coming out from the gaza strip at a time when they dont really want to be focusing on a military confrontation theyd rather be focusing on the normalization deal with the United Arab Emirates and of course for hamas they are dealing with a major covert outbreak the 1st Community Level covert outbreak inside the gaza strip since the start of the pandemic trying to do so under the Current Situation or the previous situation with these very restrictive punitive measures imposed by israel in terms of reducing the fishing area down to 0 not allowing any diesel in for the only power station in the strip was becoming pretty much untenable and so that was the Opportunity One which most recently was seized upon by the qatari envoy hamas is saying that that that was the the most recent bit of mediation that came through with this deal and under its terms weve seen the fishing zone reopened although fisherman cant go out because of the coded restrictions gaza is on the complete lockdown crucially there will be diesel coming in so the electricity situation is due to go up from 3 to 4 hours followed by 60 to 20 hours without electricity 2 and 8 hours on 8 hours off patent 27000000. 00 worth of qatari money coming into the strip as well whats more controversial and potentially more important in terms of the longevity of this deal are the other things that hamas is demanding in terms of enter into structure projects such as Water Treatment plants and Industrial Zone things which will crucially if they go ahead create jobs in an area which is so beset by poverty and unemployment there has been some social media traffic in the last day or so people complaining saying why. Was this escalation for if were just going back to the situation previous collation certainly in the past when hamas israel comes to these sorts of arrangements hamas has said that israel hasnt followed through on some of these key long term ambitions that it has for creating jobs inside the gaza strip so whether this is a temporary reprieve toss duties or list does have some means of addressing the longer term root causes of these constant cycles of violence are they will be determined as to whether by whether these other demands from hamas are actually met thank you for that harry fosset life or say or in jerusalem spread to more head on this news hour including playing the blame game the 2 u.

Of their press china has warned india over rising tensions at their disputed border both countries accuse each others troops of crossing the line of actual control india says it disrupted what it calls provocative military movements by chinese troops in the east and the doc reach an overnight on sunday china counters that Indian Forces violated its territorial sovereignty during an operation on monday centered on the southern shore off punk gong lake katrina you is following developments from beijing and has more on chinas reaction. We have had a more aggressive response from Chinese State media got here the global news the global times which is the english language newspaper of the global times and the headline is about india saying that indian troops have made in the legal crossing in the area and quite aggressive editorial in this paper today on tuesday saying that india should. Withdraw its troops to to make sure that these tensions are escalating saying that china will not hesitate to protect its sovereignty and will do everything to repel india and attacks if there is any agitation made by new delhi and also saying that india should be under no illusion that the Chinese Military is not willing and ready to take on india that china india simply nor much for the chinese side and according to the global timetables undertaken a survey of its readers saying the vast majority of chinese readers say that theyre tired of what its called hostile behavior from the indian side and that 90 percent would support military action should the Chinese Government stink about it is fair to do so but of course theres also been an acknowledgement from china that media is also a very important neighbor a lot of trade is done with india and they would like to maintain peace and analysts say india and china have been conducting talks for the last few months for every week almost but these talks seem to have been very limited in the amount of progress theyve been able to achieve so far. To venezuela now where they have been tears and cheers as dozens of opposition politicians were freed from prison in a surprise pardoned by the president their release is seen as an attempt to boost participation in decembers autumn entry election a lot america at its embassy in yemen reports. The after months and in many cases years of imprisonment opponents of president Nicolas Maduro were reunited with loved ones after receiving an unexpected pardon lawyer in greek in a deal would had a stroke in jail thanked the government for letting him be reunited with his family while and by argued shed been unjustly imprisoned in the balance as yak i told him until i was blue in the face that i had nothing to do with the accused me of that my only crime was being the neighbor of someone of interest pardons before elections arent new but the magnitude of these were the the they included scores of prominent government foes like robert to my little opposition little quango idols chief of staff. For any give out whos been in the Chilean Embassy for nearly 2 years which was the savile hed been battling all Political Prisoners or opposition deputies in hiding or in exile all of them accused of treason and more. As a warm up to the pardons venezuelas most emblematic political prisoner of one click a sense was released late friday and put under house arrest still accused of plotting to kill president Nicolas Maduro which he denies that the list of pardons is long but excludes Opposition Leader one by law and milk bottle opus both of whom a little has vowed to put behind bars for alleged crimes against the state the Government Strategy is obvious the school that he will middle. Number one objective is to gain legitimacy for decembers parliamentary elites. Its essential even as russian and chinese are demanding some sort of recognition of the poles so for that to happen there has to be participation in the elections from at least part of the internationally recognized opposition feliks a has says the pardons may be just a 1st major step. To another concession could be to allow major parties and candidates barred from taking part in elections to run after all that could include twice president ial candidate. Who believes that boycotting the poll would be even worse the competing in an uneven Playing Field was won by the whos recognized by more than 50 countries has been israel is interim president has given opposition parties until the end of the week to publicly join him in a united front to boycott an election that is widely considered uncompetitive not to be outdone the government has extended the period for registering candidates until fridays complement than israel into waiting to see what more concessions mughal may be willing to make to try to salvage an election that he may win at the polls but not in legitimacy unless his foes take part you see in human aljazeera. In the u. S. The 2 president ial candidates are blaming each other for violence at protests across the country donald trump has accused the left wing protesters and the democrats of creating the unrest but his rival joe biden says trump is poisoning the nations values and creating an atmosphere of hate and division by count every for some washington. Huge reaction to the nationwide protests has defined the massive gap between the policies of President Trump and his Democratic Party opponent now that the president has described elements among the protesters of the black lives Matter Movement as looters and that has and has encouraged his supporters to hold counter demonstrations in a mob contrast joe biden tweeted a picture of himself taking a me with those protesting Police Brutality and racism and at a Campaign Meeting in pittsburgh by didnt painted a picture of an incumbent president seeking to foment violence for political game rather than exploring ways to end it because dollar trump adds fuel to every fire because he refuses to even acknowledge that there is a Racial Justice problem in america because he wont stand up to any form of violence hes got no problem with right wing militia white supremacist vigilantes with assault weapons often better armed with the Police President trance reaction was predictable claiming again that joe biden is weak on law and order. Is given morally in comfort to the variables repeating the emotion that these were peaceful protests in a peaceful protest. This anarchy that joe biden has spoken to the mother of jacob blake the 29 year old African American who was shot and paralyzed by police in can osha wisconsin last week she said she was praying for sun that she says simply that surprised she was prayed for all police officers. She was already been praying for america even before her son was shot President Trump explained why he has not spoken to the family. With the pastor wonderful man the familys pastor and i thought it would be better not to do anything with their lawyers in the they wanted me to speak but they wanted to have lawyers involved and i thought that was inappropriate so i didnt do that the governor of wisconsin sent a letter to President Trump asking him to cancel his proposed visit to commotion this week in the letter the governor says and i quote i am concerned your presence will not only hinder our healing i am concerned your presence will only delay our work to overcome division and move Forward TogetherPresident Trump has brushed aside these concerns and confirmed that he will be traveling to can osha as planned mike hanna aljazeera washington and live out our White House Correspondent kimberly how could so kimberly President Trump heading to konoha wisconsin later today despite appeals by cities the citys leaders to stay away what can we expect. Yeah the president is set to leave the white house imminently and we are watching carefully to see if he will speak to reporters youre right local officials are urging the president not to come hes coming anyways so what we can expect is that there will be protests in vats theyre already setting up we are told and there will be a sizable presence when the president s air force or rather air force one lands on the ground in wisconsin now also there will be 1000 National Guard soldiers to try and quell any unrest that may spark up you have to remember that there was immediately after the shooting of jake a leg there was a rast the guard was sent in and since then it has been relatively peaceful but the concern being from local officials with terms visit all of that could change now in terms of what the president hopes to accomplish when hes there on the ground 3 things hes going to be surveying damage hes also going to be touring an Emergency Center and meeting with officers but as mike hanna reported there what he wont be doing is speaking or meeting with the family of jacob blake again because of the concerns that this was a call that would be heavily monitored versus a face to face conversation thank you very much for that kimberly how could live in washington d. C. And of course well be following the president s visit to kenosha with you. Lets get an update now on the World Weather with rob and whats the latest. In the Philippine Sea has reached its peak is still going to the same place so in 24 hours time is probably going to be hitting the coast a science career and a good long way to go but its moving fairly quickly which to some degree is a benefit the whole the army in the middle there is closing in which means its losing a little bit of power which is probably a good saying it was a 275 Kilometers Per Hour not long ago moving north face with its already generation waves 13 beaches they would be hard. So theyre slowly coming down but they are of course huge you want in feet as about 44 feet obviously has done some damage whereas back to catch land is caught the edge of a can hour this is what it can are about 24 hours ago so its horizontal wind at least severe Gale Force Winds and of course that takes out power thats exactly whats happening here shorting of power lines imagine rain that came from it maybe in significant 234 millimeters thats not a lot in the grand scheme of things in the tropics and anyway its going to strike the window i think with the telling thing so for the next 24 hours or move northward through the South China Sea and ive got the times coming up in just a 2nd here local time season Daylight Hours its over water it will be felt in japan itll be felt in south korea and both tom it gets there it will still be pretty strong pretty nasty obviously well watch it we will watch it very closely with you thank you very much for that rob and still ahead on this.

Now i suppose the deer in turkey is under arrest as dan was caught in the Southern City of adonai by Security Forces they say he was receiving orders from iraq and syria to launch an attack in turkey and i saw nightclub attack killed 39 people 3 years ago and a bomb attack in istanbul killed 12 people in 2016 the king of saudi arabia has socks the commander of Coalition Forces at war in yemen in a royal decree prince for had been turkey and his son are being investigated for suspicious Financial Transactions at the Defense Ministry and the latest members of the royal family to be detained as part of whats being called an Anticorruption Campaign by the crown prince of saudi Arabia Mohammed bin someone well lets speak to simon maven about this hes the director of the Richardson Institute for peace studies and is via skype from lancaster thank you so much for joining us so this is not of the 1st arrests in sacking theyve been several mass arrests in saudi arabia in recent years as part of what the kingdom says is its untied corruption drive but just how significant is a removal of the top military command out talkie whos the man was leading the saudi war in in yemen i think its an interesting removal i think its symbolic in the sense that it relates to what many of us. As a serious failure in terms of the yemen conflict but i dont think it has so much to do with those strategic errors as a useful by approach the saudi military but contains more. To the. Against what some people are calling the purge 2. 0 this continued after that to get rid of the well what many see to be the final remnants of dissent against mohammed bin solomons rule some would argue thats more about cracking down on corruption and assuring that mom had been solomon has complete power and autonomy in in riyadh and across the saudi political spectrum rather than anything reflecting military issues and strategic failings in the yemen conflict as much as it is easy to draw that conclusion right the crown prince as he has said has made you know fighting corruption a pillar of his reforms but a lot of people of course see it as as him trying to dissent whats whats been the end pact of this crackdown in saudi arabia where then what is done is its made show of the moment been somberness is the one true officer of power in the kingdom under any vestiges of opposition or descends to his rule and to that of his father have been removed have been emasculated have had any any semblance of Cultural Capital or employer and removed from them and this i guess is that continuation of that strategy to ensure that there is no one left willing and capable of exerts in the type of employment thats needed to cause a challenge to his rule but whats interesting to know i guess is that many across the condemn or not at all surprised by this they say this is the latest in a strategy put in place by mohamed bin solomon theyre not at all surprised that this is taking place but what about the International Community why have they been. Not not strong a cause for restraint from the International Community. I guess this gets right to the heart of saudi arabias position and Global Politics is a key Energy Supplier is a longstanding ally of the United States the u. K. Saudi arabia occupies a. Particular and in many ways could position and World Politics that leaves it simple things locums or great deal of criticism from n. G. O. S human rights organizations etc etc but less so for all my comments and National Governments room from political leaders across the world who are valuing the type of relationship that they have with saudi arabia in terms of oil in terms of impulse for us the middle east and traditionally of course in terms of sharing of intelligence of David Cameron well the british Prime Minister said that the relationship that britain had with saudi arabia had a great deal to do with sharing intelligence as much as Economic Needs or Energy Resources so its in really puts particular inputs surely a place which means that the moment when someone is able to largely get away with this incidentally thank you very much for talking to us about this simon maybin director of the Richardson Institute for peace studies live there from lancaster thank you very much for your time thank you at the Economic Impact of the corona Virus Outbreak has pushed presell into recession its economy shrank by ereka 9. 7 percent in the 2nd quarter of this year growth is now at the same level as it was in 2009 at the height of the Global Financial crisis the 2nd worst hit country in the world with more than 120000 covered 1000 related deaths and mass carnage Eyes Campaign is beginning in hong kong a Testing Campaign despite activists and some Health Workers edging a boycott many are skeptical because of the involvement of mainland chinese testing companies.

Friends and these are being welcomed back from their Summer Holidays by Climate Change protesters the campaign. Rebellion wants to imagine say Government Action to stop polluting industries we go live to go in london for us at the protests tell us more 1st about what the protests is about to day and just how big are the problems. Well this is just day one of the series for just looking to be taking place over the next 2 weeks theyre going to be focusing not just here in london but also in cardiff found in not just a well now this particular protest but the movement says its going to be focused on getting politicians to listen to the message thats the reason why that they have decided to congregate outside of heart of it and if so where they say theyre going to be facing the protests for the next 2 weeks or so and one of 4 cities to reinforce that message also getting politicians to listen to the scientists over the Climate Change crisis they also want to push forward that campaign which they launched at last month on the campaign for the logical of a budget bill which they want to get out of its a bill thats been written by scientists activists and lawyers from but to devise asians they want this to be the most significant piece of legislation which will change saqlain how long how the government fights ecological disasters and how we go forward to trying to create new industries out old hope Hope Research d into the clutch of the friendly type of ways of doing business as a society is it is effective though sonia as the earlier protests. But i think theyve had a lot of time to consider how they take the Movement Forward because of course the pandemic pentel to their activity they were supposed to launch another campaign. Back in may but a force that was unable to take place well theyve gotten so i think about see if it was a bad size that happened to the campaign that had been taking place last year for example they came on to quite a lot of criticism for having protests and holding up trains that were at particular points which didnt seem to want to mind that message of getting people out of their own cars and using public transport for but most of what theyve been mindful of isnt it as well because the pot to make the case exactly how the inequalities in the house and the 2nd part that best they want to make it through jeff i think you know even though i think it died just movements thank you very much for that sonia gig or live there in london.

Those supporting a return say Rich Companies have a moral duty to help revive the economy the people really taking the risks in this economy right now are by and large lower wage employees or point home this country depends for a ton of Different Services and what we dont see happening is the same courage and determination by and large amongst higher wage employers and employees and we need them to step up and to come back to the office as much as they can responsibly despite government efforts multiple city firms expect only a fraction of staff to return to the near future and some Large Companies have decided to close offices altogether. The government suggested staggering start times and a mixture of office and home working but few expect these commuter trains to ever be full again.
