Development for the Mexican government the authorities later told news agencies that under heavy gunfire the police released him back to the cartel President Trump has been accused of a phenomenal breach of his Juta to defend u.s. Security after one of his top officials acknowledge that military aid was withheld from Ukraine for political reasons a prominent Democrat involved in the impeachment inquiry into Mr Trump Adam Schiff suggested the admission reinforced the case against the president things have just gone from very very bad to much much worse the idea that vital military assistance would be withheld for such a patently political reason for the reason of serving the president's reelection campaign is a phenomenal breach of the president's duty to defend our national security Donald Trump has praised. After the Turkish president agreed to temporarily halt a military offensive against Kurdish held areas of northern Syria as a rally in Texas he described Mr Duran as great and said he was a gentleman Mr Trump has been fiercely criticized by leading Democrats for dropping sanctions against Turkey 3 days after they were imposed they said the credibility of u.s. Foreign policy has been seriously undermined China's economic growth has continued to slow reaching its lowest level in almost 3 decades official figures for the 3rd quarter showed growth of 6 percent compared with last year Robin Brown reports the slowdown continues and it will be felt far beyond China's borders 6 percent is at the very bottom end of the government's forecast for this year a forecast that almost the regular sleep always seems to come to pass China's economy is maturing But what's worrying is that it appears to be slowing down at a quicker pace than expected and desired the trade war with the u.s. Combined with a domestic credit crackdown last year has made for less confidence here all in an unstable economic environment. Well news from the b.b.c.

Bring the New Year opinion has struck a new bricks it deal but the British prime minister Boris Johnson faces quite a struggle to get it through parliament this weekend in an extraordinary sitting where he will have their say one of the government's key allies Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party has warned it will vote against the plan because in effect to draw a new customs border in the Irish Sea in the Northern Ireland we have a different status to the rest of the u.k. For more we can speak to b.b.c. U.k. Political correspondent Rob Watson Well we're going to get into the parliamentary match shortly but 1st in what way is this different from former prime minister Theresa May's deal Good morning James good morning everyone well in many ways it is and I mean about 90 percent of it is absolutely exactly the same but it differs in 2 key ways 7 of the draw agreement part of it the divorce but if you like the bit that's legally binding will become a treaty I mean. Mr Johnson paid the price if you like for once in your heart. With Northern Ireland I mean that's a brutal way of putting it but essentially one of the Northern Ireland will have a different relationship with the European Union to the rest of the u.k. And that of course is why the Democratic Unionist Party that Protestant party will come on some in a 2nd so fired up the 2nd one which it's differences and the other bit which isn't legally binding the political director ration which looks forward to the future relationship after the divorce I mean that there it's clear again that Mr Johnson wants a much more distant relationship between the European Union and the u k. Right and not everyone in parliament will go along with that what's the matter saying right now well I was thinking when I was sitting here waiting for you to come to me James I was thinking all James wants to know everybody less thing is going to happen than the votes like Rob and then and then I can say I don't know and then I was going to go and pour my 2nd cup of tea of the day so I look to answer your question I don't know I mean it looks incredibly tight the b.b.c. We have a unit down at Westminster of colleagues who who look at what every single m.p. Said on the last time I looked at it they'd scored it this way which was $317.00 votes for the government $322.00 against but obviously Mr Johnson is going to be engaged in it and a massive operation of of charm persuasion and arm twisting between now and Saturday lunchtime charm persuasion are interesting sure what about a summer suggested bucket loads of cash heading towards Northern Ireland in one form or another I'm not corruption I'm not says yes they're not by any means but things to sweeten the deal I mean I think that's certainly possible but but here's the thing it goes back to where I started you know foremost being brutal waters the price of Mr Johnson's bricks whereas they differed from what Mrs May said and whereas it differed so much from what he himself had said it's normal and I mean Northern Ireland will be treated differently now if you are a member of the Democratic Unionist Party what is their rays on that or what do they exist for is to preserve the union between Britain and Northern Ireland I mean that's that's what they're up out that's what really floats their boat right and so they think that any arrangement which makes Northern Ireland the province less close economically to the rest of the u.k. That could be the beginning of the end and that could be the beginning of Northern Ireland becoming closer to Dublin and so. It's a Brussels so one suspects on such a matter of principle but of course I may be horribly wrong I think no matter how much money you offer them it wouldn't do it well Robertson's been horribly right on most things so far Bracks it will see if that streak continues M.P.'s in Parliament this weekend for that crucial vote. My Never a developing story there have been warlike scenes in the streets of can in Mexico following in attempts by the security forces to arrest of the deal Guzman the son of a drug baron who Keim Guzman also known as El Chapo now has been some video footage during the rounds and it's apparently shot from a moving car posted on social media and it shows heavy gunfire that can be heard in the aftermath of a month's arrests of a complex operation and I'm happy to say that journalists who are. From Mexico joining us to tell us more you want tell us what exactly happened. Well people are pretty sure what exactly has happened it's been a very confusing situation with conflicting news basically the story 1st came out there was major gun fire in the city of cool I can which is the state capitol of similarity to heart the real heart of where the Mets can cartels are from and there was armed groups using 50 caliber Barrett rifles attacking police and soldiers taking over toll booths blocking streets burning vehicles and there was the rumor of the son of Chapo Guzman a famous El Chapo who was try this new year in New York and was found guilty. Of his son being captured. Then came out from the Mexican government that he saw not with Yoko's man a 29 year old son had been captured by soldiers and National Guard but then had been released and a lot of confusion about how this happened now one story is that the police and soldiers were doing a patrol on the street they were attacked by gunfire responded by that from that gunfire into a house and then they were surrounded by the cartel gunman and gave up their prisoner but that's still far from certain at this moment you are listening to you this sounds like something taken out of a film it's incredible the details that you are giving us you mentioned a bit about who the video is not like a name or how influential is he or was he in this drug cartel. Is still here is because he's been released so when when Chapo Guzman was actually by the United States he had various sons and then known as the chappie toss so Chapo not just beat also his sons and they became the leader of a faction cartel. So there are very powerful in color can have a lot of government and what we were seeing the images we've been seeing from the streets of color can you know the they they don't mind using extreme violence on the streets of violence against the government now this tactic has been used by various Mexican cartels to several years is in other cases where the police when the soldiers try and arrest they blockade street burn trucks there was a case before when they shot down a military helicopter with an r.p.g. 78 soldiers one placement died in that so they don't mind using violence to try and threaten the government to stop them being arrested you are in Rio a good to have your insight on this and I've spotted that this is dominating social media trends across Twitter in Mexico no surprise there and Mexico correspondent will go right will grant rather writing that panic has sprayed in the city as that fighting has taken place will keep you posted here was because we'll have a little bit later on on New Day this is New Day with James. James and group are going to. Give your mind who are nice and who came to work let's give us round of our headlines right now u.s. Democrats accuse Donald Trump of breach of duty after one of the president's top officials admitted that aid to Ukraine had been withheld for political reasons and you economic growth in China slow to 6 percent in the 3rd quarter worse than expected we're going to talk about that in business shortly and supporters of independence for Catalonia in Spain are holding a general strike let's get some sports news now with Matthew can I we're going to talk about China as well because the commissioner of the n.b.a. Has admitted that the losses in the route that were sparked a week or so ago by the general manager of the Houston Rockets sending out a social media post appearing to back support back protesters in Hong Kong have been substantial and since the n.b.a. Has revenues measured in the billions then that's going to be an awful lot of money Adam Silver. Also said that they are not back on t.v. Yet it's the winding up of the pre-season the league starts the beginning of next week elsewhere Ed Woodward the executive vice chairman of Manchester United basically the man blamed for a lot of the club's troubles by a lot of their fans has said it's completely wrong to suggest that he and other non football people as he put it have any responsibility for player recruitment that's down to the recruitment office and the stuff he said that's going to be very interesting to see how that one plays out because fans Manchester United fans in particular love to blame people off the pitch particularly if they love the coach which I think probably they still do you all are going to sell share at the moment Matthew thank you very much I read more from him in half an hour's time any thoughts on how to be a momentous you know 447-762-0508 extension 5 will turn out a real sob story that despairing the sad news that China's growth is 6 percent you know that's quite good isn't it Matthew Davidson our business desk but down from its usual levels are supposed trade war with the u.s. To blame yes it is and you need 6 percent in anywhere else you'd think you know a happy day sports of course 6 percent in China it's not really what they want and China is one of those kind of places where the economy needs to grow because the population needs to grow by only 6 percent just to kind of stand still. Now of as we are saying grew by 6 percent that's down from 6.2 percent in the previous 3 months and an official has been warning of mounting downward pressure. On the line we have Simon Rabinovitch from The Economist in Shanghai Good Morning Simon Good morning 6 percent growth then are the authorities in China worried about this figure. The 6 percent figure they're fairly proud of because it's basically their target for g.d.p. Growth I think what they're worried about is the reality which is somewhat worse than 6 percent lots of other indicators are showing that the economy clearly has been slowing more sharply than they expected and that that slowdown is set to continue but just this week the Central Bank the central bank $28000000000.00 into the system that the tax cuts in the lifting of restrictions for foreigners on the stock market how much is this really boosted domestic The moaned in the way the Chinese government would have hoped. I think much less than they hoped I mean you can go back 2 years for all kinds of measures of this sort to income tax cuts making it easier for local governments to fund infrastructure projects enticing foreigners to invest in the domestic market and so far all these measures have gained very little traction they don't want to do a big stimulus as they've done in the past they're concerned about the downside all the debt that they cumulate whenever they do that but I think in the next couple of quarters they're get they're going to be pushed to a point where that kind of bigger action might be inevitable now a lot of this is done to the wall between the United States and China and that was a kind of Perlman Rini deal reached with the u.s. Last week do you think that things are getting better and going forward actually this may give to sort of a better growth figures in China in the future. Well certainly the appearance of a deal of phase one deal as all Trump has put it is helpful for China it's not going to lift the prospects for exporters overnight and it's not going to deal with the kind of fundamental sources of tension between China and the u.s. But it would help to alleviate some of the uncertainty which has been holding back investment so if d.-o. Is actually agreed and it sticks that is going to be something of a help for China but fundamentally the slowdown actually is not because of the trade war it's because of a lot of the problems I have been built up domestically and the policy actions that have been taken to try to deal with those problems so you know just eliminating the trade war or solving it in part is not going to solve the fundamental issues for China thank you so so many Rabinovich The Economist. A statistic you. Roger let's talk about that offensive in the northeast of Syria from Turkey Turkey has agreed with the u.s. That it will hope that offensive against Kurdish fighters in northeast Syria they say so I it was announced at the talks in Ankara between the president and the u.s. Vice president Mike Pence it will be a pause in military operations for 120 hours while the United States facilitates the withdrawal of y p g from the affected areas in the safe zone and once that is completed Turkey has agreed to a permanent ceasefire and the United States of America will work with Turkey will work with nations around the world to ensure the peace and stability is the order of the day. In this safe zone on the border between Syria and Turkey So here's how it's meant to work the agreed pool was inviting will last 5 days as we've been hearing 120 hours during which time the Kurdish militants are expected to reach reach from the area bordering Turkey Mr Pence said the u.s. Has already contacted the fight is that it would help facilitate that with assure all the CA's have been allied with the us in the fight against the Islamic state group now last week President was accused of abandoning them when he pulled American troops out of the path of the Turkish offensive I spoke with f m a Copan who is a doctoral candidate specializing in international law and the cut at the American University Washington College of Law I asked him to explain the ceasefire agreement and is that 100 points the most important point seems to be point $1113.00 which quote unquote says the Turkish side will pass up aeration peace bring in order to allow withdrawal of white g. Forces so these are the Kurdish forces from the safe some within 120 hours that is the. 5 days ceasefire that has been agreed upon interesting me the joint Turkish u.s. Statement on northeast Syria as it has been termed as an agreement between the us on one side and Turkey on the other side however so as has been the case since the beginning of the Syrian civil war Kurds have been up in the successful diplomacy affords off turkey left out within diplomatic negotiations it's important to underline that because this agreement has not been conducted or negotiated with the Kurds as one party to. The agreement on another but up on that a little bit more because where does this brokering all they ceasefire by the vice president Mike Pence leave that sentiment of betrayal that Kurdish forces we are told feel towards the u.s. Following that withdrawal of the American troops from ne in Syria it is quite interesting because the d.c. Area and policymakers here especially in d.c. Or the United States in general do not seem to endorse what Donald Trump has actually cost with this $1.00 what President Donald Trump has caused with this one tweet off as almost 2 weeks ago it left the region entirely to a military on an invasion which wasn't clear line of violation of international law as it was in contrast to Article 2 of the United Nations charter it was in contrast to Article $51.00 and Kurds who paid a very very heavy price we're talking about $14000.00 killed Syrian democratic forces fighters in the fight against global jihad is I'm not fear that there will be a Exchange off population as well as potential f. . The cleansing and the fears of the Kurds actually need to be taken very seriously history has shown us over and over again that throughout the past 100 years but the failure to establish Kurdish self governance whether that be internal self-determination or external self-determination they were exposed to policies off target fixation or Arab zation within the past 9 days more than 200000 civilians have been labeled as internally displaced persons. And that was a conversation that I had with f.m. Koeppen a Datura Canada specializing in international and the cuts Nafi for a nice days coverage of the latest Democratic debate in the high o. This week one thing was clear the 12 would be presidential candidates battling to make the ballot in 2020 to stand against Republican incumbent Donald Trump didn't agree on much but they were all in favor of the ongoing Pietschmann proceedings against Mr Trump and Cain fans of American politics may know the saying so goes a higher so goes the country baby seat Anthony Serco went to a town on the outskirts of Columbus Ohio to ask how they feel about the man they helped put in the White House in 2016 and if he should be impeached aren't you really going on the other side of Columbus in the little town of Circleville the real winner was Bob Legan with his 1422 pound trophy winning pumpkin. In Israel who can you recount. Whether it's pumpkins or presidents Ohio is known for picking winners John f. Kennedy in 1960 was the last person to win the White House without winning the state president Donald Trump who beat Hillary Clinton here in 2016 by the widest margin for a Republican nominee in almost 3 decades I spoke to the mayor of Circleville Don McElroy about the town did this area support Donald Trump back in 26 think it did yes I think because he is a conservative I think that he has an edge in this county How do you feel about the economy around here and how things have been the past 3 years oh my gosh we have we have made while stones just outside of circle though we have a Dupont plant they just invested $220000000.00 in a new film line we had a new Italian plant open up I call recession proof they make toilet paper. Hundreds of thousands of people come to the town's 4 day Pumpkin Festival and not everyone in Ohio is happy with Mr Trump. Yet I don't like you. So yeah yeah I just don't agree with any of like his opinions and his policies or any of that I don't I don't I don't really think he was fit to be our president now what about impeachment I think it is like in that like I talk with that with my friends and family about like you know I am kind of a glad that they finally started that process I think it's something that should have happened c.r.a. Or are wants to see the back of him whether that means impeachment or losing in 2021 way or the other you just want to see him go yeah if if he does finish out his term that's Ok to just hopefully won't be reelected only. There are those who aren't outright for or against Mr Trump some like Danny Evans are simply tired of the Washington drama since we've been on neutral we've had a lot of work but I don't know the pay's not that great but there are jobs there and I think the economy is doing great now the government on the other hand I mean to me I think that's the problem they need to step back and let him do his job so you're talking about impeachment and or you think some and everything you know I just think it's 3 day kills you know it's like a soap opera you know Trump you know he opens his mouth too much and says too many things he shouldn't say and Pelosi and shimmers the same way they're like 3 babies and it's it's ridiculous you know it makes our government look stupid I'd like to when he's done so far I know that a lot of people haven't but I've seen a lot of good change and as you can tell in this not only here Republicans are more conservative but I have a very open mind like I have friends and stuff who are liberal and you know who live different lifestyles in me and I support them and they support me and we're very open minded So Lauren east up 26 said that although her friends are talking about the impeachment investigation not everyone understands why it's happening I think it's interesting to hear it both ways I hear it I like I said. I have a lot of liberal friends and followers and stuff and I see that a lot of them are all for that a lot of them you know a lot of the my conservative or Republican friends or even independent they're very a lot of them are more quiet about it but some are starting to speak up there they don't agree with it they'd rather you know they don't get why they're trying to get him preach this stuff Democrats promise that the impeachment investigation will move quickly and insist that there is already plenty of evidence of presidential misconduct. Reporting the. Thing about that was he seems like I'm open minded about friends from the other side because you don't hear very much about in American politics these days but he seems a nice day in the b.b.c.

Reseller with an exclusive interview with Uganda's president Yoweri most 70 Mr 70 is seeking a 6th term of office or office in 2021 the last few years be dominated by a battle with his leading critic musician turned politician Bobby wine the leader of the people power movement accuses the president of oppression and says he's been subjected to torture while in prison. Presently 7 in the capital Kampala 1st those accusations that opposition figures are being oppressed. That people. Because how can they say I was in a position myself in that it is sixty's I was a member of d.p. But when I was a member of d.p. Had good news. Don't build the muscle to cover the road because I'm not in the government. I can see that letter road is my road to look for the for the government but is the justification for this sort of consolation of his cause of the people who defended him the young people who live of these concerts or will be fine with that held promoters were heavily invested surely does not justification for consolations if you are with the war in our country we will do it therefore in the us the dish would come and this year our country where we are you will win our prosperity so why did you write this in they want to come. Into the advantage of that prosperity coming back to the region right now Mr President. Screamin between your God and one you call the technique of not too long ago but they closed the border at the beginning of the year the body is still closed now hundreds of millions of dollars are lost on both sides of the world or to have said we want when to discuss in the press. Or what I have time to discuss we do this because it has got me in the hoof additional meeting this is clearly not something that is shared by the other side because we get the sense from what could gully saying that supporting people who are looking to destabilize the government the people who are going as far as saying that you are interested in religion change you no wonder that there wonders were being held. In places in a designated of Gaza to places and when you're going to shoot is the issues that you ought to be reacting to we were in Rwanda Angara. We say the community going to the community and do you think Mr President how much longer can this continue how much longer can the border remain closed for example an East African community sister country the boat is closed people can't cross it isn't the problem is that it does kind of to go several issues in the papers I would want to do that what do you see as the biggest threats to get out of the moment security wise moving forward where is the threat coming from just you know 3 to canoe 200 What about it tonally the fact that Uganda has a huge youth bulge these young people are making very serious divides about the future they're looking for jobs is the government generating as many jobs as it should is this in many ways or any way I think of a security threat is certain that it it's an opportunity the only jobs and of the jobs are there the then there would be there if you know but I would question big potential we were struggling with the basics electricity we now have enough of it Kristie and we have to do more and one more one of the issues is the mentality because some of them while looking for white collar yours instead of looking for jobs jobs that is come up I would question that is the industry factor is that it is a service is theirs and so on concealment to be quality employed in transport then I c d. 4 sectors and we had the ability to walk with each one of them can use your wish for our people they use on a problem on the opportunity. President 70 speaking to nice to see you've had a couple reactions to that already if only will warn Bobby why and told Americans in Ugandans that not to invest Uganda that was so bad it's a new George on the other hand howdah Chavez says prism a 70 allegations against Bobby wine a lawful unlikeness to Mrs any who came to power by the gun lobby wine using civil legitimate and peaceful means was like hey your thoughts puff well 477-862-0506 extension 5 let's stay within Africa and cross to South Africa now where power blackouts are back again to no one's surprise the main energy supply Eskom was forced to impose a 2nd straight day of controlled blackouts we know that businesses and schools have been feeling the pinch and also in neighboring exam bublé as well let's speak to a Business Insider reporter James D.V.D.'s 1st of all James let's strip this right back to basics why all the controlled blackouts. There is a restaurant. That we can provide for the black couple was that country the conveyor belt of the country to the power station and sort of broke down over the weekend what they actually did using paraffin and these old to try and augment the supply of electricity but maybe they were unable to fix the conveyor belt that they were. Already back out of Africa Ok so it's a technical failure and we know that Eskom hosted a briefing last night what did what do we learn. From the government apologize for the unexpected. And the over the country to know its hearing which is about. 'd 100 city on fire and I hope that it will be. Sitting in the New Year in the near future they were gaining anything on the weekend. But you cannot make in fact that the. Bloomberg report this week that the week that they were shooting in South Africa the economy grow. I want to say economic growth which is obviously terrible news for the African struggling economy James you mentioned the word low judging a countless number of times can you explain to us in simple terms what load shedding actually is. I think that Africa is kind of on and we become accustomed to it the very city basically. The country has a schedule set up for everything region within everything City and everything for region to be very. Different. I mean that the hours I would be alerted when alerting when power failures in Africa to make sure that the entire country part of the. Case is about can trolling energy supply and we know that this has been a huge talking pool full South Africans vote for all of us reasons and businesses and schools affected what have people been saying. I think I thought everything was just super straight ago it was happening right now 160 days of athletes shooting at last solar cheating wasn't lauds and how you could actually part with the National to be good but there won't be any richer thing is that I think again that we are very very frustrated as a nation. In the financial capital Janet we've seen people stuck in traffic for hours on the way to trying to get on the way to work as the robots and traffic lights unable to work because of late sitting. On the ticket particular incident and who are able to I think that having to be quite high intellect getting to produce. Able to write it in the power failed operation had gotten so tough because people just people were busy with operations and of course we couldn't continue because of a single read it had a catastrophic impact with Africa so clearly no industry unaffected thanks very much James to be has that Business Insider reported in Johannesburg. The sale of the civil services personal to Nigeria now police have said that's another Islamic school has been raided in the town of Katsina in the last he said institution in less than a month that police say students have been found chained and abused to no making allegations of the b. Sing credit schools in Nigeria the list behind this increase in rights correspondent Monday June sent this report from Katsina. I think that. Living in this part of the over Nigeria stories about it you see right it cannot experience something emerging our way here you know. Mostly. Nearly 300 pages and many were found in chains in a school in could do nothing and on Monday 67 people were released from the facility in the president's hometown Daraa. The schools often double up as we had to teach incentives their last resort for families with children who've committed petty crimes or addicted to drugs. But the governor of Katsina States I mean you must sorry says the sentence are different from religious schools but actually I think we need to separate. The traditional Islamic school and system with the current trend of some sort of. Religious of children that won't be out of the way either through drugs or through his behaviors that have recently been discovered in various parts of the country there has been a distinction between the traditional Islamic schools and this kind of habitation centers actually which are not too high since neither are there for eyes .

Matthew Kenyon thank you let's stick with a bit more sport the Rugby World Cup continues in Japan and although Kenya didn't qualify for the tournament rugby is a sport that's gaining popularity and in a bit to rehab in a taste some of the country's citizens it's even found its way into the country's prisons this is an initiative of a group called expert on North Africa who helped the b.b.c. Gain exclusive access to come in a maximum security prison just outside of Nairobi Michel Khatami reports. The popular rugby hacker has found a home at Kenya's number one marksman Security Prison Committee. This is the mighty zebras and the official inmates Rugby Sevens team. I'm Daniel and Wendy and I'm Patty like in 2009. It happened. But it came from. The child. So I was going to that penalty that was that I'm now 22 and now the sentence was remitted back to 13 years in prison reason I've been like a 2nd home. Now used to be lonely so when the rugby game. Inside the heavily guarded worlds of committee this part of tries and conversions is spreading fast committee is the only prison in Africa playing rugby here they play on a dusty unmarked field then on Monday is the captain of mighty zebras the name presented to their straight black and white uniforms won by inmates for the mighty there but I'm the captain I remember it well I thought and they were playing up with Well much of that happens to be. Having a plan for rugby and he told me to mobilize people. Because you love to play it outside anyway playing something that you really love to do it at least but Committee maximum security prison is home to prisoners charged and sentenced with serious criminal offenses but August it had 1984 inmates the Kenyan prison is using sport as a rehabilitation tool. Is a form of say in charge of committee and is the assistant commissioner of Prisons sports really play a very integral part in our rehabilitation program so if there were rehabilitated if we them with the skills which can enable them to go back to the society and honest living then we destroyed it. It is game day at committee the dusty brown peach is marked with white chalk by the inmates the players from team. One shirt in the other dark blue jerseys retain Academy f.c. The spectators fill in. The referees can you read the fifteen's national team head coach Paul or Dehra he calls out for scrums line outs and folds it is a proper game of rugby sevens. But I don't coach them any less than a coach the symbols and they have responded in kind of actually giving the full commitment it's also humbling to me that you mean people who look at and think about their future can actually commit to an ideal that's much bigger rugby is given inmates a committee hope and confidence to believe in themselves you know this game it involves our. Strength and physical ability to have any that help experience time that I don't believe in myself. Even my mom visited until we were shipping. It teaches you to be disciplined by some somebody that somebody can rely on it brings hope in the people here. Are Ok generally when somebody comes in Britain only the news everything. For rugby has given us a 2nd chance and it has given us something to leave for all the work. And that report by Michelle Khatami. Angry crowds burning tires even a man with a gun being kicked by a young woman the pictures coming out of protests in Lebanon have been extraordinary the demonstrations have taken place in several places in the country and seem to take in many people by surprise the protesters are angry about the economy and a proposed and now scrapped tacks. Messages and similar things had the best scientists from the bay report even suggested the events could be called the whatsapp revolution Well they're saying that whatsapp is the straw that broke the camel's back in this case because it's really about corruption Lebanese have been dealing with you know economic problems that people blame on corruption for many years now and broken state with you know no public services you know electricity water all these things are in scarce supply people have been very fed up with the way that the pulse of how things are introducing new taxes people say the fault is it should be taxed but instead of taxing the people that I mean of the poor the poor will be affected by what's up because you know what's app is a very important communication tool in a country where the cell phones are among the most expensive per minute rates in the world so people rely on whatsapp to make cheap phone calls stand up for their family for their work etc and so not having that ability to whatsapp and having the fear of being taxed on that it really kind of drove people over the top give us a sense of the scale of the protests which So you know I'm precedented but don't haven't seen this sort of thing for a few years hasn't that's right I mean it's feel very reminiscent of the 201-5016 garbage protest and and the garbage issue by the way and it still is still there and one of the big problems you are complaining about the next generation of the streets they've put in landfills now but there's still a lot of health effects to that and things aren't being done properly so it's health considerations a lot of pollution in Lebanon now air pollution is among the highest level it's ever been I think that all these things have accumulated currency is also under pressure right now has been a lot of fear of. You know devaluation Lebanese currency there has been you know people trying to get money out of banks so it's just you know Lebanon has just so many different kind of problems you know political problems with the war in Syria threats from his or her all the time so it's just kind of like a pressure cooker for people not been at this point I think. And you know this tends to happen people kind of go up the streets you know it's not millions you know it's probably several 1000 but it's in many cities there's things happening and you know and sithe and Beirut and up north of the coast as well so it is it is an unprecedented number of protests that one time in so quickly so really shows how you know people can really react to some invasion of their personal space not want them to use you know their basic telephone communication seems to be one of the you know core I guess human needs a screen a hate so and that's why this is one of those things that has kind of you know made the cup flow over as we saw in the garbage protests a few years ago there's one image will be to footage that not so people are showing as sort of almost well perhaps emblematic emblematic of something of a woman kicking in all modes official What if you just take us through that little bit of tape and explain why so many people feel it significant Well this is kind of you know was that was that was kind of what sparked a lot of protests Today's that earlier in the day a politician was leaving parliament and the public surrounded him his car and the bodyguard jumped out of the car and started shooting in the air and this was you know very dangerous to be crowd of people and it was seen as just another accident unity from this you know millionaire class of politicians at Ruhleben on people kind of defied this machine gun fire they didn't actually even you know flinch some people actually went 14 and said go ahead and shoot me that's the kind of level of desperation of some you know young you know disaffected uncork impoverished youth and just you know people and General in the country suffering from economic situation and so this one woman was among those men and she just you know kicked a man holding machine gun and you know people kind of twee have who is this karate woman you know or some who actually said I want to marry her how can I meet her for the postal So you know how you're going to propose there otherwise the consequences could be fierce Yeah I mean a lot of very you know fearless people out there on the streets where people can just go out there and face a machine gun and say shoot me.
