Why didnt these ministers and legislators should be thrown in jail that thieves were boring money from other countries on behalf of the lebanese but then put it in their own pockets you know what does this government has done nothing but divide us as well as making us poor citizens must retain their dignity this is why we wont leave the streets without taking down the regime and forming a Transitional Government with exceptional powers to rebuild the country. Right now. People cant afford it anymore there are no good schools electricity and no water. Basic needs in lebanon are not being met and these are the 2 months of each person here and. Then almost all. That. What began as a protest over proposed tax hikes turned into demand for Sweeping Change high unemployment Poor Public Services and a soaring Government Debt as you noted lebanons diverse religious sects in protest Prime Minister saad hariri on friday promised far reaching reforms but he was put under further pressure when Lebanons Christian leader went on air and announced the withdrawal of his party from government do you see it going to be a good one.

Now over to london a defiant Boris Johnson there has vowed to deliver braggs it within the next 10 days and his conservative party allies are backing his push for a vote in parliament the u. K. Foreign minister says he believes the Prime Minister has the votes to get his brags that deal through british lawmakers on saturday postponed taking up the proposed deal with the European Union that required johnson to request another extension something he had been refusing to do. That we have reached the best possible a tale of 2 letters after a day of parliamentary wrangling Boris Johnson was forced to write to the e. U. Requesting get another brags that delay he had earlier said he would rather be dead in a ditch than request another extension to show is on happiness he did not sign the letter to his fellow brags a tears that was making the best of a bad business letter was sent because paul and it required to be sent home and consists of the letter was sent the poem and come change the Prime Ministers mind as if to prove that point johnson then sent another letter more true to his heart arguing against any delay and this time he signed it so with less than 2 weeks until oct 31st what will happen next. Some are bracing for more legal and parliamentary maneuvers that could bog down any progress meanwhile the idea of having another referendum on leaving the e. U. Seems to be gaining ground hundreds of thousands of protesters massed in london while parliament was in session calling for britain to remain in the e. U. We feel its take the time out of this weve got to get back to people weve got to do a lot more thinking its not right to say well its been 3 years now well thats it with that no will i think im a bit confused about what happens next im not quite sure why is it a lie i think if we were on a stage one of the lie so they can have a referendum after years of wrangling over brags that many britons and people in the rest of the e. U. Are exhausted by all the drama but the latest away means the play will run a little longer. Oh did reveal has been following the breaks it saga from the beginning she joins us now from london barbara Boris Johnson is not giving up what do you make of those around him who say he can still get a break is it done by october 31st. Yeah they would of course say that terry i mean theyre they cant be seen to be giving up and they cant be seen to be desperate and now british newspapers set all sunday trying to calculate the odds if he could get the deal through are now not and they all say its on a knife edge if one or 2 of parliamentarians strange their. Opinion overnight or till tomorrow then it could go the other way but were not there yet it is quite likely that he is not going to get another meaningful vote in Parliament Today it all hinges on the speaker the man we Order Parliament so so nicely and came to International Fame with it and he can decide that its possible to bring the same this same vote 2 times just in order to sort of push it through you know if you dont like the 1st round you just go for another round and say lets try again so he might not allow it and then all the whole drama is going to be pushed back til tomorrow and then everything is again up for grabs so we can still hear john bercow the speaker there saying order barbara youve been shuttling between london and brussels where those this latest Development Leave brussels or e. U. Leaders inclined to give the u. K. Another extension on. Of course in the end they will they are not going to be the ones who pushed britain over the break definitely absolutely not in spite of all the talk of say you know tough talk saying no we dont want this anymore not another extension oh they dont want it because they exist for aged because they think that this wrecks it so i got this ongoing drama is poison in the waters politically but they will sit there and wait theyre going to wait out this yet another dramatic week in breakfast at the mary roller coaster and then they will decide next week after all this has played out whether theyre going to want an extension and the answer is yes were hearing that momentum is building among british voters for another referendum on breaks it is that momentum also building in parliament. It is difficult to say at the moment the numbers are not yet there but if the parliamentarians the m. P. s in the house of commons in the back behind us there is still asleep everybody of course if they get to the point that they forced Boris Johnson not only internet extension but into a soft of rexx it then in the end of course if the opposition is looking for a new allies it to push through a 2nd referendum were not there yet but this is just monday we have a whole week to go for it barbara thank you so much barbara in london.
