prime minister is calling for early elections and an overhaul of lebanon's political class. and other news 5 months after its 1st fatality the coronavirus death toll in brazil passes 100000. and as you can see thousands of israelis are back outside prime minister benjamin netanyahu his residence demanding his exit over corruption allegations and his courage in 1000 responds. really well into the sports news including the process of european fund ventas. sorry has been silent for champions league just 2 weeks after he won the italian league. now the deadly port explosion in lebanon's capital is now igniting a fresh wave of anger towards the government thousands have been demonstrating in central beirut with. some protesters storming the foreign ministry and prime minister how sunday up says people have a right to be angry addressing the nation just a short while ago he has called for early elections now one police officer has been killed in clashes with protesters and the lebanese red cross says more than 100 people have been wounded politicians are accused of corruption and inaction which led to tuesday's devastating blast that killed 158 people and wounded 6060 people remain missing and around 300000 lebanese are homeless because of all the damage caused 3 m.p.'s from the opposition christian party quit earlier that makes 5 resignations in total but as we were saying lebanese prime minister has and dab says he will now introduce a draft bill in the in the coming days proposing early elections. we cannot face these problems unless we have 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 this difficult period we know and i know the people have questions about the catastrophe and how the government plans to do it the catastrophe is way bigger than anyone could imagine the impact might stay forever. well let's now speeches and of go to our correspondent who has been in the thick of all the protests in beirut then as the news of her proposals as trickling down to the demonstrators there how are they taking it. well some of them are welcome that they're calling it a victory they're calling it a good step a good beginning we won one round in a long battle because calling for early elections yes this is something that the people have been demanding for some time now they want a new leadership but what they're worried about is that the. new election will just bring back the same politicians to power because they crafted the political elite the ruling elite they crafted them elect or a law that works in their own benefit it is very difficult for independent candidates for exam. well to be elected to office it's a very complicated process whereby the country is divided into several districts and because of the different sects in some areas christians vote you know vote for muslim m.p. in some areas as a christian candidates you're not voted in into office without the support of the muslims so it's a very complicated process on the grounds of people of feel that the you know the just come back to power but undoubtedly they see this as a concession on the part of the authorities that they are in a corner and there is no doubt it's not just the protests that the. pressuring those in power it's the international community and it is the reality on the ground the reality is this is a cash strapped government a state close to bankruptcy the country needs billions of dollars in aid those are the international community says you're not getting that donors are not giving you that money unless you reform the state and you carry out reforms that means that their hold on power will weaken so they're under international pressure they're under pressure in the streets and so it seems at least on the surface that the prime minister is trying to reach out to the people and to cave into their demands then it is looking a little bit come the way you are now that we've seen today more than 100 people injured one police officer even killed tear gas live ammunition and the fire is still raging you've been there the whole afternoon since this began can you describe how it all unfolded. violence running battles in the streets in central beirut we are in the center of beirut there was there were calls for a protest and then some protesters tried to storm the parliament building which is not very far from here the security forces responded with excessive amounts of tear gas and some points they used live ammunition and they kept lobbing tear gas into the crowd the crowd remained defiant for a few hours just moving back every time that the tear gas the spreads in the air but they would return and they would chant revolution revolution but at the end hundreds of security forces push them out of the square and we saw them beat up a few a few people that people are they they stood their ground but in the face of power but at the end they know that the balance of power is not in their favor but they feel that they've done something they vented their anger today it was not just about the new leadership today it was about telling the world really that they want justice justice for the victims of the explosion because they believe the political elite who knew that there were tons of thousands of tons of explosive material at beirut ports did nothing about it they kept them in the warehouse in a densely populated city then a heart of that correspondent on the streets of beirut thank you very much they know and they say well let's not speak to my own bashar his al-jazeera senior political analyst and he joins us from london now and i want to start with house india he was addressing the nation but ahead of tomorrow's international fund raising conference was he addressing global leaders to the ones who have demanded reform. well look i mean hasn't they have does not represent a political party but say it doesn't represent a power center is not greedy at this it should make it was supposed to come in on the head of. the government in order to absorb the anger in the streets of london are over the last year or 2. and so now faced with this disaster explosion on tuesday he really doesn't have a lot to say except talk about actions talk about patients and talk about the donor conference come tomorrow because in the end of the day there is a little bit of he can actually do today in the end of the day his government is a sort of window dressing it will to a corrupt. system in the country so if every possible way he is now and linda. prime minister. already has foreign ministers where it's already been are not a problem and there's no quit already he is in a vault with the government basically incompetent to meeting with the implications of the apartment and its meaning of for levanon remember that it's not just the city another known even sometimes the 5 percent estate. this is all of the country so hasn't the might want to kick the can down the road where he's really not able to absorb the anger of the seats yesterday to be or to more than a moment speaking of that anger as anna was saying well let's tear gas not to people engine the whole wound as wanting these scenes and it feels like in some ways these protests are also a show for the international community as some demonstrators are also saying how do i don't have this affect perceptions of tribal regions. well you could be it you'd be surprised our viewers might be surprised that for example i've just read that report or hizbullah's television station that the mystic reports are talking of other them strippers as the scum of the earth so if you can you can you can really begin to understand the deep divisions within the country and while there is a street or not there is an arms. the political right means of alexa because the president know and others have whatever's happening so. what you seeing today is it is a serious isolation within the country and in the end of the day this the people in the streets are not well represented into political establishment and certainly not among the centers of power in the country today as it stands so they are only way out of this. line if you will is to scream out to be dumber and add to pressure to bring in an international pressure on the been established now how would this translate and that's the big question because in the end of the thing once the euro conference happens the war on you know number of millions of dollars could be could. be spent well we certainly know who have heard a report on the earth the micro numbers that the money will go directly to those most affected by the explosion to rebuild their homes their houses rebuild their lives and businesses but then on what's going to be positions in terms of reconstruction rebuilding ringback. or what a number of conditions that were involved accountability that would involve the end of the corruption but it's been difficult to see however and corruption nepotism and the analysis of the country without end the executive editing system the sectarian political system the sectarian division of labor the 2nd big fish in of the pie called the state and once it's out. there the big question for me is not so much how much international pressure there will be on the lebanese for the system the big question for me is the following wayne will that it be nice including but if any leaders look and the better way to make the look and the letter. they are industrious people. behind some of the least developed countries in the world behind i'm able to connect the country 24 seventh's with extra city this is a country that frankly needs to look at the matter and ask. what's next because the state is bankrupt completely and it's not just because of. the economic powers centered him that it is to shift once upon a time but i'm used to be a central banking center. so the service industry i'm so so awkward it is no longer so it needs a whole new vision for how to rebuild its system but its economy and the number of millions of dollars we're not even begin to dream what ails and so they need to look in the mirror and boast in the streets burning. down this and that and picking our ministries if they want to occupy those ministries tomorrow when i suggest they don't burn him down or bring them down because they need to organize into political parties they need to run 2 elections because running for elections end of the. it's going to be the only thing possible given one is a great liberal serious governing system that is able to be we're a society. that the her problems facing the country. are under sorrow the al-jazeera senior political analyst always great to get your insights now and thank you. it is now estimated that the blast on cheese day cost $10.00 to $15000000000.00 worth of damage to its ports and the wider area our correspondent bennett smith has been getting and not a perspective on that wreckage. it's not until you move away from the beirut shoreline that you get a real impression of the scale of the devastation just over my shoulder the orient queen boat that was capsized by the force of the blast and every building you see along the skyline has been impacted there isn't a single pane of glass left and damaged over there and just on the other side is the remains of the grain silo and the grain silos was most of the grain supply for levanon there is no strategic reserve and all around the grain silos the remains twisted remains of the country's main port warehouses everything in there food included other goats destroyed or traffic has been diverted further up the coast to tripoli the 2nd port but it is having trouble managing with the capacity and managing with the demands of taking in extra supplies it is really at the same time a devastating and a shocking scene. while there is plenty more ahead here this news hour including a tribute to brazil's coronavirus victims as the country reaches a somber milestone. ridiculous and barbarous china condemns u.s. sanctions on hong kong's leader its police chief and other officials and the controversial car being dumped the pink lafave creates a big surprise in qualifying for sunday's formula one race. brazil's death toll from the corona virus pandemic has now passed 100000 and so wild west outbreak after the united states. reports from rio de janeiro. one time bus driver i was shown that crash on the was one of brazil's 12000000 unemployed that is until the soaring death toll caused by the coronavirus pandemic landed him a job as a grave digger at the sun will solve a cemetery on the outskirts of rio de janeiro. we had to recruit 30 undertakers to cope with the growing amount of birtles and build a separate area just for infected bodies. i'll be shown the works in the cove did 1900 designed especially for the victims of the virus. the most painful part is witnessing the farewell which is different from many other people want to say goodbye to their loved ones but we can't allow them to get near. brazil's cova death toll keeps growing in part because the government is encouraging brazilians not to stay home while failing to take measures to stop the virus from reaching even remote parts of the amazon despite evidence to the contrary president. continues questioning the seriousness of the pandemic and scorns w.h.o. guidelines such as the need for widespread testing and using face masks. as a result many here are skeptical about the official number of deaths like lead to a deal on who does for morning exercises in front of the emblematic football stadium now converted into a field hospital you know removing me and. i never saw anyone coming in or out of this hospital so i don't know if the story was made up or of politicians have just been using the pandemic to steal money this is one of the 5 field hospitals of rio de janeiro that are being dismantled some of them not even completed the state health secretary and his deputy are in jail for allegedly misusing the funds that were given to fight the covert 19 pandemic and the governor is about to be impeached on corruption charges. back at the cemetery 53 year old moyes says amid the colonel is about to be buried. his family is obliged to stay far away almost unable to see the casket being sealed off some of the few for them sympathetic to signal unfortunately my rather than go has just become more and more statistic buried in a 5 minute ceremony. gives the impression that nothing is going on but i think very in numbers of this are even higher than the official says that this thing and although the president and a 3rd of his cabinet have tested positive for corona virus critics say a deadly combination of corruption and a refusal to come from the pandemic head on will continue filling brazil's graveyards. well monica yant a cab joins us now live from rio de janiero monica how is the health system now it was already overwhelmed how is it holding up now. well in the main cities the health system is is holding off well now they've decreased the number of deaths in the big cities but it's writing throughout the country and we're already talking about the possibility of having 200000 deaths by october so numbers are growing but in big cities like rio de janeiro the numbers are in some regions of the country they're dropping already and monica how of people now hearing president also nara i mean he called this a little food then he called it himself. exactly and maybe that was one of the worst things that could have happened because by catching the groan of ours and being well. week after and saying that he used chloroquine which has there's no proof that it that this is a cure for for covert 19 he made it he downplayed it once more so people are saying ok the president got it a 3rd of his cabinet had it and they're doing fine so some people are even don't even believe that this is a pandemic other people the ones that lost of the families of the 100000 are really feeling it and they know that this is serious and visible so noddles didn't even give a comforting word to any of these people who haven't said anything he says life has to go back to normal he just said this repeated this recently again so it's a mixture of insensitivity of not not giving any comfort to people and not having a national strategy you there's no health minister we have an interim health minister here in brazil now the 1st one was sacked during the bendemeer the 2nd one left and the 3rd one isn't even a doctor he's from a military officer and monica i do want to ask you about the remote parts of brazil that we've seen the virus spread to is there any sense of that's being addressed people they're reaching well are they getting the help that they need. well. no not really i mean it's being spread also because there's this lack of information it's like you go on if you watch the television in brazil you see the president saying one thing the minister saying something else governors each one it depends on which state you're saying something different it's similar like what happens to the united states with trump and the different. governors in different states each one having their own policy and it's it has become a political matter here in brazil. if you're you know if you talk a lot about the pandemic you're against the government if you don't play it you're with the government so if it isn't anymore about a disease something that scientists and doctors should be deciding about it's something about whose side you're on. speaking to us from rio de janeiro thanks so much for giving us the latest monica went to hong kong is condemning the u.s. for imposing sanctions on its top leaders calling the decision despicable and shameless chief executive kerry lam and the current and former police chiefs are among 11 officials whose u.s. assets will now be frozen sarah clarke reports from hong kong. the united states went directly to the top singling out hong kong chief executive kerry land and imposing sanctions on any american assets she has also targeted is hong kong's police chief chris tang his predecessor and other officials

palm pilots is the sweeping legislation is unacceptable and cartels political freedom in the city pro-democracy activist joshua wall was quick to applaud the decision if tried for the world to realize that they need to reassess their foreign policy toehold call and try to. the situation in hong kong with the escalate is high for the world those that were caught the sanctions were prompted by president donald trump's executive order last month denouncing china's imposition of the law which criminalizes acts of suspicion terrorism and subversion hong kong's chief executive says the law is crucial to restore order in the special administrative region where there's been months of political unrest carolan described the sanctions as despicable and barbarous and says the government will not be intimidated her response was echoed by commerce secretary i don't buy any sort of valid reason for this blatant hearings up on call affairs live on country by i don't think this is necessary for the civilized man to do so china's response was also swift with his top official in hong kong ridiculing sanctions who are claiming who's also on the list says he doesn't have any assets in the united states sanctions are a wasted effort this latest round of sanctions is a dramatic escalation in tensions between beijing and the united states the hong kong government hasn't ruled out targeting american companies and individuals. operating here that move could be nixed sarah clarke al-jazeera hong kong now afghanistan's highest consultative body of the loya jirga has recommended the

thousands have demonstrated in the lebanese capital beirut they're angry at the government blaming corruption and inertia for an explosion at the port on tuesday that killed 158 people one police officer has been killed in clashes with protesters and the red cross says more than 100 people have been wounded. dozens of protesters stormed lebanon's foreign ministry building chanting slogans against the government and the political establishment they burned a portrait of president michel aoun the demonstrators called for the ministry buildings to be also occupying and lebanon's prime minister has india has now called for early elections following that wave of public outrage in a televised address he said he would introduce a draft bill in the coming days proposing early polls on that's now speak to sami not a he's the director of 11 institute for strategic affairs and he joins us now from beirut sami let's start with early elections is parliament going to vote for that. it may vote for that but i fear that this would be would not be enough to. draw up solar or to count the anger of this sunni. population the protests. of our anger because of what happens on tuesday night they want they want justice they want an international investigation what happen they want to have a responsible accountable for what they have done just to some scapegoats some. managers add cost terms or the poor direction. being had by the architect the is not an os they want. in an international community international investigation and not an action or early election which has been and that the man that evolution or or the demand of the protesters is not i see it it's not in us today i mean as you were saying there have been these multiple promises of accountability for everyone responsible for she states because we saw that from the president the prime minister from hezbollah do you think that will actually happen especially for the elite despite the investigation that's been promised. sorry i didn't get the question i was just asking whether you think that the investigation will actually lead to any accountability you spoke about the protest is not having any interest and it's not an international and this is the concern that this is not an also. nice book the nation has been news to. and that to know where. so many where are buried responsible also crimes also being. also a quarter i. did not get. this is why they. ordered internationally. to jordan and you know that there was actually. that a prime minister and today what happened on. that getting. missed that which is very important but. hold the city has been destroyed on tuesday and its basic right of everybody needs to know. who is the responsibility of stalking. dawn's explosive in the heart of their city and sami has when he addressed the nation he also spoke about changing the political elite but even if there are elections surely take place within the existing political system with the same political parties right or do you see brought a change potentially here. can be changed even with their current elected or no that is they know me. or their current political parties but the mall has to look at me. and there is. a part of the establishment. that explosion. because all the water they could establish is responsible. sammy noted that the director of the 11th institute of strategic a fan as always great to have you in fact outta there. well thousands in west jerusalem protesting against israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu for weeks demonstrators have demanded the netanyahu step down want standing trial if a corruption charges and they've also voiced trust patient over the government's handling of the coronavirus outbreak there well that's a car spun and harry forth and he's in western us and with those crowds how do those crowds really do seem to grow every week. well yes i mean this was said last week last saturday to have been the biggest protest so far to the naked eye it looks at least as big this week if not bigger so the momentum of these protests remains extremely high we are just a few 100 meters away on the other side of the square behind me from the residence of the prime minister benjamin netanyahu this is another substantial very noisy protest directed at him personally demanding that he step down once again there is a pretty large dominance i think of israeli political left here in terms of the the black flag movement and other similar movements that have long been arguing that he should step down because of the fact that he's facing 3 corruption charges regrets 2 cases on which he is now on trial i did it has been very much field as well by widespread discontent and anger with the government moment in dealing with the growth of virus pandemic and the economic fallout of it and as you say the dimension continues to grow rather than decline and harry i believe as you talk about yet another election is that like you. well yes i way from the street protests it's hard to see exactly what the mechanism for getting rid of not you know can be directly from these protests if they don't somehow get translated into his own party. and sort of start undermining his political support get away from this there is a pretty big ruction in the. initially unity government between netanyahu and his former rival now alternate prime minister defense minister ready guns every week on a sunday israeli governments have their weekly cabinet meeting this sunday's cabinet meeting looks on the brink of being called off because they can't agree on an agenda that's it you know who wants to cause a one year budget which would allow him a free hand to potentially going to elections and staying in office in the run up to those elections gantz wants to see the agreement that he signed earlier this year on a meaning a 2 year budget which would give him more security as he looks to take over as growth that agreement in the denver next year if they can't come to an agreement by the 25th of this month that there isn't some kind of rescue emergency legislation and that would trigger another election a for election inside 2 years and that would be in a very high health of the our correspondent live in west jerusalem thank you very much gary. has declared a state of environmental imagine see after the japanese are in ship
