Its very very bad the air is on really the ball ive been standing at a 10 minutes and my eye is. Itching at the back of my children this is just what i mean ive been talking to a lot of people and they say they do not see even indoors because yes shes indoors as well so the equity index says only getting worse michel yesterday over the last 24 hours actually its just a 1000 to date small 700 now what does that mean this is the worst polluted city in new delhi the 2nd most value to cities usually dhaka yesterday does not home that the air quality index was under 200 and the little light not the air quality index is 21 degrees numbers leave under 40 the atwal g. s to be all right to be good some 4200 is supposed to be moderate but when it crosses the 400 its an actual risk to your health its cost 700 its speed if you take an average its been about 400 but this morning a piece up an hour ago it had crossed 700 so atwo teeth is really bad is on we the whole the government is coming up in some measures many people are betting moscow life has to move on its a very heavily populated city as well to people are just maybe going on about their life reading the stocks again so lets talk more about what the government is doing the State Government has this odd and even car scheme as its called so tell us what it is and how exactly is it supposed to help. Was going to have a little because a huge part of the pollution is me but you should so if you hop the number of these vehicles then yes i do beach should tell you what it is it is that you got to all the cars with even numbers all numbers that say cars ending number place ending with 6 athol 2 can be on the streets one day and those ending with all the numbers the other day so yes as you rightly said the number of cars have to be hot tonight ive observed that many people in this spot of delhi are actually following it but the logs part of this believe is because a bomb is burning to stop in neighboring states which are also fighting pollution by the way but there is no political consensus there are different Political Parties in the states all the states around in delhi have the Hindu Nationalist Party which is also at the center of the pockets of the party but delhi has ahd me party all the pub and max party which was made all Civil Society members of these 2 Political Parties are quarrelling that is no clear direction as to where what the governments that is and indias Prime Minister has not even spoken on this issue so as long as bob must keep running the stoppel and its been the pollution is expected to be high art with the latest in new delhi thank you. Talks on wood could be the worlds biggest trade partnership have been conclusive thats the word coming from the high line says an announcement will be made in the coming hours there are a last minute doubts about the deal at the summit after india raise concerns on chinas and valmont so lets go to scott heiler who is at the summit in bangkok so what else 1 do we know scott about this this alleged breakthrough. We shall we know that actually not that much because a lot of this negotiation has been ongoing for a little last several years we heard that statement from the minister of commerce here in thailand saying that there is conclusive progress theres going to be a conclusive announcement in the coming hours but then in just the last hour since that came out the australian trade minister has come out who is part of these talks as well theyre one of the 16 nations who are part of this are set trade deal they came out and said that the negotiations are ongoing so its a little bit of a confusing situation mixed messages coming but all indications we are getting up until monday morning if you will with these ongoing negotiations here on some it were that the negotiations were Going Forward well but they were going to end anytime soon and actually there was projected that the signing of this agreement might come early next year february 2020 was floated as a possible date so a little bit confusing message coming out we do know that you know the 10 members of aussie and all part of this agreement there are 6 other nations who are here and that theyre going to hold another meeting in the coming hours so will there be an announcement after that thats what waiting for and will actually be conclusive its not really clear at this stage rizzo so scott as you said these negotiations the attempt to form this pack is been going on for years what it appears to be different though is the Global Economy and the pressure around free trade that seems to have changed over time tell us more about the environment that this is all happening at. Right definitely and we look at the 2 largest economies in the world the United States and china involved in over a year of trade war aggressively intensified trade war that has impact around the world but specifically in this region so these 10 nations of ahsan have had to deal with that because they a lot of them trade and do business with both nations so theyve been kind of thrust in the middle so you have a situation where the on as a body for these 10 members has difficulty unifying you know coming out with one voice and how to deal with the situation and also you have the political arm of this the political aspect of this and you have United States representation here downgraded from previous years the minister of commerce is the top member of the american delegation here were hearing comments from them from that delegation saying that to stand up telling the r. C. N. Members to stand up to china intimidation when it comes to the South China Sea now it china has been accused by some of the nations as well as the United States and other nations around the world of territory infringement in the South China Sea so thats been an ongoing issue as well the United States telling us u. N. Members to stand up to it interesting lee enough the chinese premier li could chang is at the meetings here and he has said that theres been progress on the code of conduct on how things will happen in the South China Seas youve got a lot of different issues that these 10 nations are dealing with when it comes to geopolitics all right because high dollar the latest in bangkok scott thank you pakistans Prime Minister has refused to he calls to resign as tens of thousands of protesters remain in his lamo by demonstrators they then run con until midnight on sunday to set down and the government is illegitimate. By the military protester led by the Prime Ministers longtime rival conservative cleric. On. A general strike has to begin in lebanon in the coming hours as protesters step up the pressure on the government or in a mass rally in the capital beirut and call for a complete overhaul of the ruling elite and the political system which is split along sectarian lines the demonstrations have forced the Prime Minister saad hariri to hand in his resignation and holder was at those protests and they were. Outside political establishment protesters are back to close a road they believe that this is the only way to maintain the pressure on the ruling elite to resign a few days ago they agreed to leave the streets after the Prime Minister sagal how do you see it as submitted his resignation but now people here believe those in power are progress the one thing that they should have by now created a technocrat government which will prepare for early elections but those that mans have not been met those in power theyve been in power for 30 years are unlikely to meet these demands because it means giving up the the power that they have enjoyed over these years so back to closing roads but the Lebanese Army and the Security Forces are also in the streets but i can tell you people here are uncompromising and demanding demanding a new change in leadership but at the same time there is another street in the country the other street is defending those in power. They turned out in large numbers to send the message to those trying to topple the ruling elite supporters of president michel aoun came from across the country and converged outside the president ial palace in beirut suburbs a show of force but also a call for cooperation. And there are too many protests squares the situation must not turn against each other or protest against each other we do a road map with 3 points corruption the economy and a civic nation there your rights so thats why we need to communicate with you and agree and put effort. Together people here say they too are asking for reforms and an end to corruption but unlike the antiestablishment protest movement they are defending their leaders the president s son in law Foreign Ministers abroad to seal gave no indication he is leaving office he is a divisive figure who has been accused of corruption overstepping his powers and exploiting lebannon secretary and structure for political gains. Let us not block the road in front of us with demands that are impossible to achieve today because you will speed up the financial collapse. The priority is to delay that collapse and maybe prevent it. Mainly sectarian parties still command support among levanon 4000000 people but the street is divided and public squares and cities across the country antigovernment protesters are uncompromising lebanese from all sects have been coming together and the crowds chant the same slogan all of them means all of them they are rejecting the entire Political Class of lebanon socalled october revolution is now in its 3rd week the revolt against politicians who have been in power for 30 years has not lost momentum public pressure has reshuffled power the Prime Minister sato had d. D. Resigned last week but he could return to office as part of a deal politicians seem to be putting together and what they seem to be discussing are shares and divisions in the old practice and perhaps maybe just maybe thinking about do we give this socalled Civil Society 2 or 3 state seeds to come down the street but the problem is what you hear here when you talk to people is you want a coherent independence competent government the major reform these people want is proving difficult to achieve and no one knows how long the political standoff will last you know its a dangerous stalemate on the economy on the brink of collapse much needed economic forms reforms need to be enacted but you cant do that without a government and its not just that if the Ruling Coalition those in power decide to clamp down on this movement it will be very difficult because using Excessive Force would definitely be condemned by the International Community who is really their eyes have been on lebanon on western countries providing support to the Lebanese Army so the Lebanese Army the Ruling Coalition there in a bind they know what theyre up against a street which is uncompromising but at the same time its not clear if they are going to take escalatory measures them sell.
