prime minister are being undermined by politicians allied to iran the prime minister's post is reserved for their community as part of a sectarian power sharing agreement the type of accords which was signed in 1909 established a political system under which the president must be a maronite christian the prime minister is cinema slim and the speaker of parliament a shia muslim but that delicate power balance is now under strain prime minister saad hariri is in a weak position since his party lost seats in last year's general election. lebannon sunni politicians accuse the leader of the largest christian party gibran by sil and his ally hezbollah of undermining the powers given to the sunni prime minister and regional rivalry between saudi arabia and iran has also changed the balance of power in lebanon so you know how to reports. to ground the c.e.o. is at the center of lebanon's latest political crisis he is the foreign minister and also the son in law of the president the head of a christian political party and along with his ally hezbollah he controls parliament and cabinet and some accuse him of using those powers to undermine the country's sectarian based power sharing system all of. approach important things is an assault on the status quo which was founded by the court so to see this trying to find a new place for a strong christian leader. christians once

influence of the iranian backed hezbollah and its allies in lebanon hezbollah was not a political actor when tardif was signed and its. father in law president michel aoun refused to recognize the deal and was forced into exile really which is a huge crisis it's not easy to make changes to the time for court it was the outcome of 15 years of war and any amendment could start another war which

a ball epidemic in the democratic republic of congo the world health organization has declared its an international public health emergency and there are fears that the lack of leadership on the ground to believe a greater crisis in space has the support from the united nations. once again africa is confronted with one of the world's most contagious and deadly diseases 1600 deaths in the democratic republic of congo and for now cases of a boat continue to rise the last major outbreak of the disease was in 2014 then the u.n. set up a special mission the united nations mission for a boat emergency response or. tony banbury was the u.n. official in charge he's been watching the response to the latest outbreak with frustration we need a much more comprehensive response and until that happens until there's political leadership in till there's a crisis operations leadership on the ground we're just going to see the current of both crisis in the d.n.c. get worse do you believe that political considerations perhaps have trumped the the public health ones here i heard a very senior official from w.h.o. on the radio saying one reason they delayed declaring an international public health emergency was precisely because of opposition within the dir c government it was said loud and clear by a senior official and for those of us who were thrust into the 2014 crisis very late in the game it was devastating to hear that frankly because that was one of the big mistakes from the 24th crisis the un's top humanitarian official admits that the global response to a boat is badly underfunded we hope there will be a much stronger international response one of the things i have been known. is that the response i think to the last outbreak which attracted this this this status from w.h.o. involved not $2000000000.00 in an area to graphically which is comparable to that we're dealing with in east india see now with a population which is not so wildly different we have at the moment only a fraction of that in 2014 the crisis was even seen as a potential threat to international peace and security the security council met to discuss the situation no such meetings are planned this time mr bambery who 5 years ago was the one brief the security council says that shows there's not yet the global leadership needed to defeat this latest outbreak jamesburg al-jazeera at
