opposition groups. >> opposition groups and security forces, it's not clear who is responsible yet. we'll expect more information over time. it is notusually when there are blockades there there are some violence and we can expect that. and what is interesting is that this is enforced by the

government because they didn't want opposition and the rallies. >> do you see any chance that this political stalemate might be broken any time soon? >> it seems critical between the two main parties there is a tremendous amount of power in the system, and.

there have been people by their subordinates of attempted

dialogue. they have verified that they have been able to sit down. >> thank you for getting up-to-date. reporting for us. two saudi personnel have been killed on the border with iraq. it happened in a border guard patrol area. one of the two attackers was wearing an explodeed suicide vest. >> one of the border patrols came under gunfire under what the interior ministry describe as operatives. the attackers were cornered. one of them was killed while the other detonated a bomb belt

killing two security personnel and injuring a third. itthe saudi borders are a grave concern to authorities because it is close to conflicts. it is the only and exit entry and exit posts. >> postthecriticwe're live in peshawar. now what is behind the postponement of the debate? >> it came as a surprise because everyone was expecting it to

pass very quickly through the lower house of the parliament. we understand that the interior minister was talking for a long time the benefits of this move to the shift of military courts to try suspects from armed groups but with the postponement seems to be related to just the need for more discussions, for more clarifications from the concerned. however, we still think and observers still think that it will pass the lower house. >> what's behind this decision to shift these so-called terror-related cases from civilian courts to military courts? >> yes, it's a long history of mistrust of the system. it's been described as

inefficient particularly after the rise of the pakistan taliban, and the court to deal sufficiently with the cases in the attacks. some judges have been killed, and there have been threats by the armed groups cause many judges to hesitate, and to be unable to pass death pents. even when death penalties were passed in many cases their convicts were released from jail because of those fears and threats. thereparticularly after the attacks of a school here in peshawar and the killing of 140 children there have been demands for tougher action, and they think that the military courts would be more efficient more equipped, and more able to

protect themselves and take speedy decisions to bring about justice in the country. >> mohammed, thank you. reporting for us from peshawar. >> lebanon has created more visa restrictions for those crossing the border. now they will have to declare why they're entering lebanon and provide documentation. we have reports now from beirut. >> for 20 years this man has not needed a visa to work why lebanon. he has worked in lebanon for 20 years. >> i've been working in lebanon since 1995, now i'm stuck in lebanon. there is no way i can leave now back to syria. lebanon has been protecting us, and now we don't feel safe. >> many syrians live in this

working class neighborhood of beirut. most are confused about the new rules and came to ask us about what is going on? but it is not yet clear what will happen to those already living inside lebanon who don't qualify for new visas by the new rules. not all syrians are classified as refugees. some came here years ago looking for work. others visit relatives inside lebanon. now if they leave there is no guarantee of being let back in. >> i've daughter in a aleppo. now they block us and i won't be able to see them. >> every syrian who is not registered as a refugee will have to explain to the lebanese government what they're doing here.

that includes middle class syrians. many own businesses inside lebanon. now when they enter lebanon they will have to take a box of paperwork declaring themselves business owners students and why they're crossing the border. >> they have to explain the reason for their visit. this is to control the flow of syrians. >> the new regulations are the norm around world but the border between syria and lebanon has historically been open. now many fear that treatment of movement is fading. >> a spokesman for the lebanese ministry of social affairs she said the new rules were needed to bring the influx of new refugees under control. >> it's in line with the

document passed in 2014 which talks about the stoppage of those entering lebanon. now lebanon is hosting 1.1 million refugees, but the number of syrians in lebanon is more than 1.5 million. this is a very large number, and we have reached a point where we need to regularize the entry of these individuals. it's just a procedure to know who we have in lebanon and to put some limitations on the access of people into a country that is too small to absorb this large number. >> much more to come on al jazeera. including sri lanka's president

president's bid for a third term. a government that is attempting to recover even though government forces have pushed boko haram out. >> it's a chilling and draconian sentence... it simply cannot stand. >> this trial was a sham... >> they are truth seekers... >> all they really wanna do is find out what's happening, so they can tell people... >> governments around the world all united to condemn this... >> as you can see, it's still a very much volatile
