We welcome to conflicts around welcome to you thank you good morning 8 months oh of mass demonstrations against the political elite you included and nothing is changing where all the reforms that have been promised so many times in lebanon well this is a long story actually when you want to talk about the reforms in lebanon when you want to talk about the reforms and you have to talk about the elements of the system we have been plagued by the most like of. Political diseases of my say. This is a long way to go actually it has to do with the confessional system it has to do with the economy that we follow or as we imposed it does not necessarily belong to the benefit of the people thats why were going to continue to have this vicious cycle as long as we continue to stick to the same system that what you it was part of there something i continue to do the same
Me about this campaign is the truth. We need to work on gun violence appeared we need to work on health care. Need to work on college education. We have a lot of things to work on. When the senate votes openly and against the truth in a partisan manner, it is time for us to return to our roots, faced facts and listen to witnesses. It is time to face the truth and move forward. And we cannot do that if we do not open our eyes and pay attention. One of most important issues to me in the 2020 election is education, including the current cost of education. For postgraduate and graduate work. Of concerning legislation coming out of the Trump Administration in regard secondary and k12. Divorce has not done a lot of good for teachers. Betsy devos has not done a lot of good for teachers. Education is number one and that is why i am voting. Voices from the road on cspan. Monday, president s day, on the tv. Discussions on the u. S.

Now on bbc news, thursday in parliament. Hello, and welcome to thursday in parliament, where its down to business for mps following last weeks general election.

Mid morning, the queen set off from Buckingham Palace for the state opening of parliament, a ceremony shes more than familiar with, having taken part in it 66 times during her reign. But havin
Unacceptable and vicious is how iraqs Prime Minister is describing u. S. Airstrikes in both iraq and in syria but washington is warning of further action to protect its personnel if necessary the strikes targeted 3 camps of an iranian backed group in iraq and 2 of them in syria at least 28. 00 fighters killed and 51. 00 injured.

I think its smart of 14 some out of 14 in baghdad. An unprecedented confrontation between the u. S. And iran on iraqi soil for the 1st time u. S. Airstrik

Just heard a statement being released from the office of a grand ayatollah ali sistan
