Some of the units i was terrified because i thought the babies might be crushed from the rubble. Broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our chief international and sean thomas when we got with. And we start with our breaking news from beirut this hour there has been an intense standoff in lebanese capital where theres an outpouring of grief and anger over tuesdays deadly explosion Security Forces used rubber bullets and tear gas to break up crowds calling for justice. Its not. On saturday protesters stormed several government buildings in beirut city. The forces have driven out protesters who earlier stormed the Foreign Ministry who took over the building and declared it headquarters for a revolution. There are no we are coming back to the property so for our people is building belongs to the people of lebanon. We went to martyr square to set up gallows for those who did this to our country today will hang nooses and we wont lead a single government ministers. The police started firing tear gas at us on march the square and the rices also attacked us and we fled. Or to see what is john of is in beirut with the latest. While the smoke still hasnt cleared from the streets of beirut and everything that you can see around me well it hasnt been caused by the bluster but brought the by todays protests we are in a narrow area which has seen some of the heaviest clashes between the police the army and well the riot says it is in fact not far from the port where the bloss had happened but this was not caused by the blast this was caused by all the protests and by people being unhappy lots of dumpsters just over town set on fire i mean by the time we got here there was much more smoke much more fire as going on lets just see it just to have a look here this is not again this is not damage excuse me this is not damage from the blogs this is all from todays protests and what people unhappy about lebanon has been battered in the pause in the past year 1st and foremost leaf country is in economic in an economic tell more oil. Its economy plunged then covert 19 heads and it didnt help the economy at all but on top of that what added was the well was the strain on the Health Care System and now this strain is worsened by what happened today because hospitals in some hospitals in beirut are destroyed the routes lebanons in fact lebanons oldest hospital no longer can take patients we were filming there today and the manager of the operational manager told me that he was born there and worked there for 35 years and he has no idea as to when that hospital is going to become operational again and with all of that and with a pandemic the figures are already in the hundreds of those injured in todays protests so people are angry but we have to look to those that you can see theyre very vocal theyre very vocal and they i mean im absolutely sure that these actions will continue and it will do nothing good to the Health Care System and will add to the catastrophe that lebanon is facing right now in fact theres a small group of protesters. In another part of town and we had time to speak with them there just outside the Foreign Ministry which had previously been captured by the protesters and briefly until the army moved in and cleared that building and i talked to my person who would like. Volunteer leader of that small group and she was very vocal she was very passionate about her cause but she was she told me that she understands why people why people are so angry here why people are so angry at the government at the parliament and the ministers she said this she centrally said sometimes silence speaks louder than any words and sensually she called on her fellow protesters well at 2 to protest peacefully to just sit down and refuse to go anywhere and. In that Case Scenario if the army moves in then theyre clearly in the wrong and she did put all the blame on what happened today on the army and on the police but still she called on people on people to start protesting what. That is that is that is a tall order though i have to say because people are fed up it seems like this blast became the final the straw that broke the camels back if i may say so because throughout these past days that we have been here in beirut and outside of be rooting for of course people have lost their homes and with the economic crisis that they have no simply no money to put their windows back back in to restore the roofs over their over their houses over their homes some people are ready to leave theyre just ready to go and. Others are less fortunate because they simply have nowhere else to go there are 300000 people displaced by the bluffs and that was the last straw thats why people have been coming out sporadically throughout the week but todays demonstration has beat them as speed to all the previous ones when it comes to when it comes to scale i mean its been hours since everything has been over but there is i mean theres the still theres still smoke in the air and it seems like all the all the work that the volunteers had previously done yesterday the day before yesterday holds like classes and students schoolchildren are just Good Samaritans going around giving out water to people and people just taking to the streets with brooms to clear out to clear out of the debris with shovels to clear out the rubble the same shovels were used today to attack the government so all of that progress of clearing out beirut streets of dealing with the damage it has been undone by todays action and from by judging from what ive heard from the protesters they are not going to stop. There have been brutal scenes in the lebanese capital demonstrators threw rocks and projectiles at Police Officers who responded with tear gas Security Forces fired live ammunition into the air to force people back. The demonstrators also put up a mark gallows in a location where people were hanged more than 100 years ago under the Ottoman Empire protestors raised cardboard cut outs with ropes around their necks depicting lebanons Prime Minister and hezbollahs leader as well as other officials in response to the surge in civil unrest Prime Minister has. Called some hours ago for an early election he stated that corruption was to blame for tuesdays tragedy. But we are in a state of emergency and not only because of this catastrophe and the need to deal with it in these circumstances id like all Political Parties to agree on what happens next we dont have much time im prepared to bear this responsibility for 2 months until they can come to an agreement what is needed is for the not to stand in the way of Structural Reforms in order to save the country on monday at the cabinet meets in i will propose a bill seeking a night election but none of the ballot journalist who was in the midst of saturdays chaotic scenes in beirut. These demonstrators were flocking to Martyrs Square also to the Lebanese Parliament to express their dismay over the poor over what they say is poor handling of the lebanese government of the aftermath of tuesdays a explosion which targeted the beirut sport. The demonstrators are have or have taken a very violent turn we are also hearing a lot of shots being fired in the air in addition to that they are gas and now these protesters and it doesnt seem that theyre planning to leave as Martyrs Square anytime soon many of them have already set up tents they say they are going to stay here until their demands are met and that was. Also at the same time we know that in the district of a sheffield east of beirut protesters have managed to storm into the Foreign Ministry may. Have been accompanied the by a retired Lebanese Army generals there are talks that the government officials will try to sit down with this retired Army Generals to a try and reach some sort of discussion or negotiations with a maybe to calm the situation down. We have lost everything we have lost our homes our lives have been torn apart everything is happening at once and for that im 28 and what future do i have our currency has lost most of its wealth is a disgrace i want to say to him oh news is ready for you. Political analyst move on and International Relations professor jamal wakim give us their thoughts on the demonstrations there are some pretty High Expectations for young people from think hes not from gollum from the space walk to school steps or so as you need right here how do you say most houses ask me again really just before a show of the nation he has to change. The japanese politics that he couldnt have fallen in the solution there are many of these are for the ill go through that is genuine im going by the people who are disappointed by the whole system by the economy good crisis thats it the country almost a year ago we need to really trust this because the fact that there are other parties that are trying to capitalize on the peoples anger the spine of the product of the form of government and partially responsible for the economy. Social policy thats led to the crisis in addition they are also prompted by the United States to escalate the situation in lebanon a lot of. Campaigns to isolate her blood. Flow to do so but as a base an american base especially after the United States has lost ground and studio much on the ground in syria in mind or of what happened in beirut an explosion went off in the port area on tuesday. No images there it was one of the biggest a nonnuclear detonations in mystery explosion along with a follow up blast and massive fire leveled several districts and it claimed the lives of at least 154 people with thousands more injured the search and rescue operation is still ongoing for days on with dozens of people still missing and these are before and after images of the blast zone officials have revealed that almost 3000 tons of em monium nitrate were being illegally stored in the port area of beirut it is a volatile compound used as fertilizer and also as a mining explosive and that stockpile had been sitting in a warehouse in a densely populated area for more than 6 years amid the anger and grief there has also been a glimmer of hope for those who are still looking for their loved ones under the rubble in beirut after 24 hours of digging it 12 Year Old Girl was found alive. But i do not mention the level of human. Rights. The explosion that wreaked havoc across the city destroying the port gutting buildings and leaving 300000. 00 people homeless the blast is estimated to have caused 10. 00 to 15000000000. 00 worth of damage the ruined port served as a lifeline for lebanon handling 60 percent of the countrys food imports the u. N. Is now warning that the country faces a dire humanitarian crisis and has called on the International Community to send help at least 20 countries have pledged systems so far including russia the u. S. You Member States and the gulf countries as well. The World Health Organization is warning that beiruts Health Care System has also been badly compromised it was already under severe pressure from the covert 1000. 00 pandemic and on top of that the explosion on tuesday put 3 hospitals out of action medics are working around the clock to save the lives of those seriously injured in the tragedy here is one heroic story. When the explosion went off the ground shook beneath us the blast told me into another room i opened my eyes and found myself covered with rubble i found my colleagues and friends line here on the ground covered in blood. In the Neonatal Intensive Care Units were covered in rubble as well i started pulling me going south of the units i was terrified because i thought the babies might be crushed under the rubble but fingo they were kate then i took them for this corridor and down full flights of stairs. I carried the babies and i was determined to take them to another hospital the only way less than 2 kilograms they had nothing on them except died people on the street give me their t. Shirts and clothes so i could read the news to simply continue the conservation i hear on t. V. I was holding the 3 babies and i didnt know if i was going to be able to rescue them north all the time was counting the heads on my chest to make sure they were still there. Still to come on or to international followers of a far right Conspiracy Theory known as q and on are being banned by facebook well look at whats driving the movement after a short break stay with us the international. No shots. Action. No. Point should your thirst for action. The world is driven by dreams shaped by one person. Thinks. We dare to ask. And welcome back this is our chance for national now the u. S. Counter intelligence chief is claiming that russia china and iran are all trying to meddle in novembers president ial election the agencys director says there are several foreign powers that quote have a preference over the Election Results trying to apparently views trump as unpredictable and doesnt want him to win as for russia using a range of measures against a joe biden and iran could undermine american democracy donald trump though has his own views on the matter. I think that the last person russia wants to see in office is donald trump because nobody has been tougher on russia than i have ever the last thing that russia wants and china wants and iran wants would be done im going to when we heard from a journalist and author daniel he thinks both democrats and republicans are already looking for someone to blame in the event of losing the election the u. S. Is filled with Corporate Media pumping out our propaganda at top volume around the clock. That the russians chinese and iranians can barely get a word nets what point is that theyre theyre able to pull these charges out of their hat they have no evidence because there is no evidence theres no indication of any kind of major russian interference and u. S. Electoral processes the republicans who are accusing the democrats of cheating trump is already doing that but through the misuse of mail in ballots and the democrats are apparent to blame a trump picture a on russia so our so both sides are now at the now building up their excuses and case they lose to blame it on the other person its a recipe for disaster this wide that could very easily be some kind of political meltdown in november or hes going underground to talk to american philosopher and political activist cornel west about the upcoming election and also the rise of black lives matter movement. Im going to say angela davis on this show endorsed endorsed joe biden in november no im chomsky has endorsed joe biden do you think that joe biden will save us from another Nuclear Conflagration as we commemorate the dead of hiroshima yeah i had a choice between a neil liberal disaster you know asked yes i would go to the older would disaster that so but americans are sick impact is a spiteful impact its a most unpleasant embar weve got the number one vote human being on the inside weve got some movement on the inside weve got a magnificent courageous and visionary citizen on the inside but we are losing. We are losing were resisting but were still losing the greed the hatred wall street pentagon is they are in control of the empire and. What is different about these uprisings since whats in los angeles in 165 and before and after the beautiful thing is that you have. Coming together and making the connection between not just police power and Police Murder but between police power lease murder wall street car wall street crimes and pentagon power and pentagon crimes once you make those connections and connect to the more loose change make them up the mix may develop it could make the family look rabbi abraham joshua. Able to make. Greatest intellectual along with known chomsky and been making for most of his intellectual life once every day people begin to make those connections then were on to something those clips are being made more now than they were before. Facebook has become the latest in social media platform to crack down on q. And on conspiracy content after deleting a group with some 200000 members for violating the platforms guidelines followers of the Fringe Movement have been voicing their support for President Trump ahead of novembers election but as arties don quarter explains the popularity of cuban on has only grown despite being snubbed by the political and media elites take a look. In the world of q a labeled by the u. S. Government as one of the most dangerous conspiracy theories of all time humanity is at war and President Trump is here to save it he went on which essentially believes the entirety of the Democratic Party are conspiring and running an underground pedophile sex trafficking ring pacifically would cue in and is a free nation in which many baseless conspiracy theories have discussed on the internet the synergy of interest in q one comes as the u. S. Skews a predilection a few years ago it was a fringe theory and tomorrow the headlines will be massive protests a few is a bunch of people there on the inside to the good guys and they know the real story whats going on and its all about in the deep state its not in the spirit back to donald trump was picked by military leaders to run for president as a way to kind of bring down the state its still on the f. B. I. s list of domestic terror threats but as of late its been entering into the mainstream even made an appearance on americas most watched Television Network q. Can do some crazy stuff with the pizza stuff and the way for stuff but theyve also uncovered a lot of great stuff when it comes to epstein and it comes of the deep state 2020 has been a year like no other and when big events happen people look for explanations so it should come as little surprise that politicians are looking to capitalize on that sentiment around 70 former and current congressional candidates have already given their public approval would you consider yourself a follower of you and on what does that mean. Well i think what we need to recognize and actually most people do know a lot about it is that there is a deep state that exists its not clear whether these people really believe in q. A. Non or theyre just trying to win some political points but whatever the case queuing on has some seriously high profile supporters and the media is raising the alarm over it but for many q. A nons rise in popularity is the result of that media went on is this just in a mall the mace you know all of the greatest conspiracy theories thrown into one big believe ive only been actively posting it say for the past couple of months but the response is insane constantly focusing airtime on attacking the president could very well have pushed Trump Supporters to more radical ideas a ministration defined by ignorance of the world so thats partly him playing to their base and playing to their audience you know the credulous boomer rube demo that backs total trump combine that with the violence many people are facing in the us and you have yourself a very alley and hating situation if you have a group of people who say that there are insidious forces working against in them to keep the word of trump from being disseminated and their band yes that fuel that that shows them nor right when you are being overwhelmed right now by everything that is so not just left wing but radically left wing the only response that people can have the only rational response that many many people can add to that is a pendulum swing to the right which might be which might lead to a some case an over exuberant. To robust embrace of war law and order and rules and regulations in policing and that may be fine for some people. But the point must be made that you were going to be encouraging people and recruiting more americans and more voters to take on positions that a few years ago they might not positions that many many people today would be considering the right way or even ultra right or fringe right whatever that means. 32 minutes and about 10 seconds i will be back with more news this is Art International where they have with us. Shows seem wrong why dont we all just dont all. Get to shape out just to become active. And engaged because the trail. When so many find themselves worlds apart. Choose to look for common ground.
