Overhaul of lebanons political clowns. And also ahead ridiculous and barbarous china condemns u. S. Sanctions on hong kongs leader its police chief and other officials. The deadly port explosion in lebanons capital is now again igniting a wave of anger towards the government thousands of demonstrating in central beirut with some protestors storming the Foreign Ministry and 2 other Ministry BuildingsPrime Minister has says people have a right to be angry addressing them or the nation just a few minutes ago he has called for early Elections Police fired tear gas to disperse people outside Parliament Politicians are being accused of corruption and action which led to choose days devastating blast that killed 158 people and wounded 6060 people remain missing around through. 800000 lebanese are homeless because of all the damage that was caused 3 m. P. s from the opposition Christian Christian that makes 5 resignations now in total well as we were saying lebanese Prime Minister has and says he will now introduce a draft bill in the coming days proposing early elections loom conclusion as mckillop. We cannot face these problems unless we have the early elections to elect a new politicians and a new parliament we need a new political elite and a new parliament we need to Work Together to overcome the stiff area that we know and i know the people have questions about the catastrophe and how the government plans to handle it the catastrophe is way bigger than anyone could imagine the impact of my stay forever well lets now bring in sanaa to our correspondent she is in the thick of all of that is happening in beirut zain i do want to ask what have you been hearing from the protesters around you will be the ones who have actually heard what has and has promised. Well a short while ago the Prime Minister has proposed a solution out of this crisis he says that hes going to propose Holding Early elections and hes going to propose that on monday not everybody here heard that speech in fact when the Prime Minister speaks a lot of people here will tell you we dont want to listen because all he talks about is his achievements when he hasnt achieved anything since taking office in january but i did ask if you keep it around me what they think they were jubilant they felt that what theyve done today achieved something they felt that the governments in one way or the other realize that they will have to compromise but an early election. Many questions need to be asked what law under what electoral law will this election be held. Those in power crafted than elec torah law a few years bach that serve their interests the way that they divided different electoral districts ensured that they would get most of the seats with a very very complicated elect torah law but it was very hard for independent people the Civil Society people who are not part of the traditional ruling elites to be able to gain and any seats in parliament in fact in the 2018 election only one independent m. P. Made it and thats paul you could be on the m. P. Who resigned today so will an early election help. Many will say at least that is the beginning but the people here want a new leadership what theyre calling for is a new government and the merchants a government to be able to run the country in this time of crisis it seems that the International Community the visit of the french president manuel mccrone just a few days ago he did talk about a new Political Initiative a new political pact that needs to be. Forged between the different political factions so all we have right now is the government trying to propose a solution out of this crisis saying that hes going to propose that on monday people here want a change in leadership they dont want those in power to come back to power and i think its a little bit more than that today is not just about the new Leadership Today is about justice today is about revenge for the victims of tuesdays blast so will people here be content with a new election and not follow through on an International Investigation into what happened at the blast site will tell you is this an attempt by the authorities to hide what happened at the port not to uncover the truth because many people here feel that the political and security establishment had a hand or at least knowledge of the facts highly explosive material at the ports so when they see the government backing down offering a concession when they refuse to offer a concession for so many months there will be a lot of questions so there is a significant Significant Development no doubt in this ongoing crisis but where will it lead levanon is still too early to say then and we are hearing from the Lebanese Red Cross that some 110 protesters today have already been wounded and you were talking earlier about live ammunition. Weve seen plenty of tear gas can you describe the scene for us then now what youve been seeing happen over the course of the afternoon. Hours. That are not at all protesters tried to argue that are pushed back by they were pushed me protesters tried to Storm Parliament building and they were pushed back by by right antiriot Police Excessive amounts of tear gas were used but the people held their ground its not easy to stand here and smell teargas and nobody here has gallus moused but they stayed they would pull back move away and then come back they want to really show that this time around theyre defiant theyre not leaving in the meantime other program of protesters stormed to ministries the Foreign Ministry the economy ministry. The army and the internal Security Forces there saying that they have no choice because theyre protecting public and private property and that they they will need to respond the protesters try to damage. The state the state institutions but theres people here stood their ground in the face of power but the power balance of power is not in their favor those in power control the Security Forces and you can see the excessive amount of tear gas it hasnt stopped but people still persevered they continue they continue coming back. Many of them say theyre hoping that today will be a turning point theyre hoping that this time around there will be change theyre saying what happens the incompetence the negligence on the part of the authorities on keeping highly explosive material in a densely not in a densely populated city shows that those in power really dont care about their people. Ask anybody here in the hotel you we have been treated like a worm and were not human beings its not only that they think they have starved us and they have bankrupted us they have killed us as well. They construct the gallows in the middle of Martyrs Square demanding the execution of politicians now thats highly unlikely its highly unlikely that theyll be able to achieve that but. For them some of them are saying the very fact that theyre caught that that the fact that they put early elections on the table this possibility it is a win and a very difficult and long battle ahead. Zana there our correspondent on the ground in martyr square in beirut and i thank you very much please do stay safe well lets now speak to my london he is al jazeera senior political analyst and he joins us now from london milan we had it from has not very long that early elections will that fix things absolutely not this is a growing market kicking the can down the road as it were because lets think about a whole bunch of scenarios for this election one as it were a certain here based on whats the real wall because the previous or the law this. Is based on some sort of our. Vision. For an age that is political. Or option to do months or 3 months is not good enough for the various people on the streets the. Parts of the Civil Society beyond those who have been for many years. Been going into the political fold an organized Political Parties and run for election what if there were. Not much of a chance that the parties and exist that there are exist there are for the civil war. But really even if they do succeed to get to the bottom weve seen members a lot of reporting just for us all the more there are its well theres some way so clearly just slipping into parliament is not its not eloquent certainly 4th and here i hate to be a pessimist here but the mocker city and the other governments but theyre part of it but that were the closest its not necessarily going to be or are anything but the economy so all our. Prosperity you know that are not the girl aside of prom is important a sign across all they should look for action or nepotism and so on zocor i think one of the important issues that have been on the case for the last decade or 2 is spent the economic something solid shifted and then it leaks levanon used to be a banking bridge between the west of the outer wall is to be an important Banking Center it used to be an important stick center it used to be an important 2. Mrs senter insurance and this and that and the other thing an Important Media center in the arab world and so on so a lot of that is gone small egypt and the buying the house and other places iran when you think that the time is your student best used to give some of its own crew and use or not if not longer than just a 2nd in a war in syria again next door has also a weakening of the niece and the syrian economy for all of these reasons why its of course undermined and hurry. Not. Sure what the future thats where i start somewhere so its purpose start with a. Big shoes has to be real as well modeled on weve also seen hezbollah very much on the defensive over the last few days and theyre still very much a power broker and then how do they fit into all of this especially if theres now going to be early elections and attempts a political reform where do they fit in. Absolutely ive heard possibly some of the speaking assume that he was even more expensive than the brand new son was so the. Short speech clearly has one that is feeling the heat both from the the interests as well as from those who care about it and a lot of. The country. I think is the thing as well and he is on the defensive because a lot of people suspect problem play either there was or there were not. Weapons the problems in. The war for. d trade was what belonged to hezbollah in some form or other or through neither of them have been clear to me hezbollah did not but sure enough they both think were. Going to the nice people as it were expressing more of a defensive position about what has follow might work. For their rule or to say that if there is ever since this war but its problem time as well as how its it states its kate to meaning we keep saying it is awful all because it is our existence will burn is more than it could be worse is rather than a mystery aggression and the other hand it is part of the existing political system and never used to be a long time and i think if the meanest behind the scene or the president let me just government so the idea that its not accountable to what was going on today it no longer washes and thats why its my last 100. 00 meeting tomorrow will probably come out with. An 8 pack a choice but that one that would be could be should not a 1. 00 to 1. 00 who. I think its one that the. People who are. Most affected while exposed to rebuild their homes rebuild their houses lives and businesses and on the other hand the 2nd secular world to it should not it would be if the things government of the present or future but if that used were the system is going to be more apparent the whole corruption house with methodism has to have a big and a half before a very clear and relevance in the Commission Investigation but what went on for so well who are. Now some real question more of them were because they have it on hold quickly it would be cynical more. The people who will force you who are speaking i am quite skeptical try to be but i hope at least that. Being used for example the french writings from 5. Or book or science that are full of my one Bashar Al Jazeera senior political analyst being to us from london thank you for your insights marwan i do want to remind viewers what theyre watching right now these are live pictures from mount a square in central beirut the lebanese capital where thousands have taken to the streets weve seen tear gas even live ammunition being fired has been running battles between the Security Forces and the protestors theyve stormed 3 ministry is that they are defiance they say they are going to stay throughout the night all of this as the lebanese Prime Minister has promised and the elections will have all the latest for you on aljazeera.

Its been raining quite heavily in pakistans a bit more of that to come the Close Friends crossed. But its sort of dissolving by sunday will be a few showers up in the mountains i think but maybe not widespread rain not more cloud where stretches back towards the quarter and to some degree or cutoff whats been a fairly stiff and dry and dusty wind coming out of iraq down towards qatar which means the temperature will probably be reflecting a humid environment on the hot side still the monsoon is still blowing across the im on the coast of the hour well have 3 more days of drizzle sometimes even forecast as proper rain but it will turn green all the same is right for the time of the year. Across the sahara its dry heat but this obviously represents thunderstorms a long way north they come through in clumps and they come certain drop a lot of rains on the army has registered 101 millimeters in the last 24 hours a service that clump of went through which is now on its way through mali and will go off shore somewhere west of guinea we watch the next one develop that comes sure in masses this one is a little bit further south but again youve got orange to share with. A mostly dry picture i have to say forecast wise is a little the warm side for port elizabeth. Frank assessments saying that. Theres. Like a weeks notice or 2 informed opinion which is ethiopia on the verge of a breakdown many cops are the only every 10 are actually under a de facto state of emergency and critical debate of that is a proxy he does not represent the interest of the libyan people indepth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on aljazeera.
