investigation into wednesday's post election violence which killed at least three people and some of the guidelines that he's been talking to his opposition rival nelson chamisa to defuse the situation which means the supporters accuse the ruling zanu p.f. party of rigging monday's election. israel has blocked fuel and gas shipments to the gaza strip it's a move that will make it even harder for palestinians already struggling with a lack of electricity israel's defense minister says the measure is in response to garza's protesters sending in century kites and balloons across the border. and turkey is threatening to retaliate against the u.s. for opposing sanctions on two of its senior ministers it's the latest effort by the trumpet ministration to get angry to release an american pastor and to brother who's accused of involvement in the twenty sixteen failed coup in turkey. now the u.s. is planning to impose even higher tower of some chinese imports from ten percent to twenty five percent the proposed levy will target two hundred billion dollars worth

of goods one high profile casualty is american soil which are crucial in the chinese diet are china correspondent adrian brown reports from heilongjiang province where most of the crop is harvested. farmland is precious in china only fifteen percent of the country is arable that makes the lush and fertile province of hay long going very important especially now. close to the border with russia this is soybean country. china is the world's largest consumer of soybeans but it can't grow enough and so is reliant on imports to meet demand that means the decision to impose a twenty five percent levy on u.s. soil beans creates risk yet in this province the trade fight appears to be having a welcome impact. farmers like moon family of being urged by the local government

to switch their fields to soit from corn offering subsidies as an incentive that'll raise incomes moon says he has a lot to thank president trump for who won when you know when china stops importing from the united states is possible where the price of domestic soybeans welcome up and that means we'll make more money. soybeans may flourish in this province but only around ten percent of those consumed in china are domestically grown the instruction to local farmers to grow more soybeans was a political priority but the reality is this china is a long way from ever being self-sufficient in soybeans which means it's going to be reliant on imports for years to come hi everybody i am a soybean in this cartoon video china appears to be targeting u.s. farmers it's been airing on the international service of state t.v. and has a clear message in china can buy soybeans from other countries if that happens

soybean farmers in the u.s. could take an even greater hit. and the soybean plays an essential role in the chinese diet used in cooking oil source tofu as well as animal feed the government's now taking action to ensure there's no shortage of what out the door the government is offering more subtleties to soybean farmers so i believe the garment. it's been very supportive of me to the whole soybean in the tree in the past cheap soybean imports hurt chinese growers but the tariff war with the united states could secure their future adrian brown al-jazeera inhalant jiang province northeast china now the u.s. president has think north korea's kim jong un for returning the remains of u.s. soldiers who died during the korean war six decades ago donald trump tweeted shortly after the remains arrived in the u.s. state of hawaii the repatriation was part of the green mint reached between trump

a big political climate here and people are frustrated part of that expression is shown in the street and the students don't sense to be moving out of the street anytime soon unless most of their demands are met the former egyptian minister says he's been detained by police and it's only the face he'll be to pull to moment tweeted that he's being held at the request of egypt he was minister of public interest in former president mohamed morsy government soup is a new opposition figure and has been living in exile in europe since the military coup small seat from power in twenty thirteen. well the democratic republic of congo's health ministry has confirmed that four new a bowl of cases in the northeast of the province of north kivu have appeared there's concern that fighting in the region could make it harder to contain the virus the ministry says there's no evidence linking these cases to the recent outbreak that killed thirty three people in the northwest that outbreak was declared over last week dr ali khan is dean of the college of public health of the

these people who have fever and getting sick and dying there's potentially cases of a ball of that are very contagious and can infect others within the community so that's where the education needs to happen and to make sure that such individuals are quickly moved to health care centers to ensure that there aren't these funerals where you keep touching people and infecting others and within how care settings to ensure there's good infection control practices. the french national assembly has approved a new immigration law that gives refugees only six months to claim asylum instead of the current eleven months though it's aimed at speeding up the deportation of those denied asylum and the processing of those who are accepted they were cheated has more from paris the number of refugees in the suburbs of paris may be as high as four hundred thousand according to a parliamentary report city authorities are struggling to cope the conditions in the parks and streets are becoming intolerable in the middle of the heat wave raids

back with more news in half an hour here on al-jazeera next its people and power. the first batch of u.s. sanctions against iran go into effect on aug sixth. as iranians brace for the impact will be into iran. covering the story from their perspective looking at what sanctions mean for iran's economy and its people a special coverage on al-jazeera. struggling with a failing economy inadequate public services and the metal some attention of two rival regional power has many lebanese hopes recent elections might provoke reforms to help solve their problems but in a country where power is apportioned along sectarian under nasty kline's little ever seems to disturb the status quo we went to find out why.

in may twenty eight hundred eleven and went to the polls it was the first parliamentary election in nine years and there was one question on many observers minds was it to be politics as usual or would growing concern over the country's myriad problems affect the outcome. there is that at least a hint of change in the the fust time a grassroots movement known as the civil society coalition was fielding crumpets against lebanon's long established sectarian parties. on the other can see see his. medical. comments and mom explore

their issues deal. with them but apathy was the biggest winner but his turnout was less than fifty percent despite general discussed over spiralling unemployment and faltering basic services it seemed few lebanese believed the route to solutions mais through the ballot box. other than border because the first from launching the sham you will be of course will be lending our assumption was that people were fed up after nine years of having the same parliament people would go and call it seems that this was not the case are we at the point where people believe give anymore in the all to miles of an election that promise much but to live at least two to the six million citizens we've been to investigate why lebanon's distinctive political setup appears so dysfunctional and resistant to change. in

twenty fifteen lebanon's capshaw beirut the first of several demonstrations against huge mounds of uncollected garbage that were piling up in the city. soon the rallies were attracting over one hundred thousand people as fury grew over the state's fadia do thor she squashed the protests in doing so a movement that would later attempt to challenge the country's unique political system. as the most religiously diverse country in the middle east lebanon has tried to prevent any one group from dominating by setting up a parliamentary system known as confession ism in which each of the main sects holds a position in government a president must be maronite christian the prime minister's sunni muslim and the speaker of parliament shiite muslim. nouri hightail and was

a candidate for civil society in the elections but being born armenian orthodox she could only stand against others of that section had district this is what we are trying to fight that this is not sustainable the vision you are dividing people according to their religion or to their sect and this is the only identity you are enforcing while there should be citizens on sponsoring with the same rights and responsibilities. lauri's district of fear is one of the roots christian heartlands still influenced by the legacy of the she dismay and leader of the right twinkie party during lebanon's fifteen year civil war which ended in one thousand nine hundred ninety. he was president elect for three weeks before he was assassinated in one thousand nine hundred eighty two. the. power being passed from father to son is a common feature in lebanon stein mastic politics although he was only four months

old when his father was killed nadeem is a prominent member of the kids a party. leader of. policeman i think. you can call it inheritance you can call it the easy way to do things but what i believe is that i believe in the same cause. not only was i have the same values and ethics of doing politics. christian are part of the. people of lebanon and of course we cannot live in lebanon if we don't get into them the freedom and the security. was the defender of the question during the civil war when we were doing our election campaign in the spa region people would say that as shafi a without the. white male has popularity

here and they see him as the continuation of that political ideology. they see between all the communities between the sunnis and the street between the christian and the muslim that is feeling between. all of this is based on the fact that no one trusts the other community the system guarantees government posts to all the main parties but it can also mean politicians are placed on accountable and free to dispense patronage as they like. our citizens were mistaken by voting for some people just because they offer services or money i believe that the confessional system in lebanon has. destroyed. but we're. under confessional ism if the government call into a way to provide state welfare citizens are forced to turn to their sectarian leaders for help it's how lebanon has run for generations. today these

people are all awaiting an audience with say more. one of the main candy of lebanon streets community it's a family tradition usually we always open the house chooses to receive. either for financial assistance or jobs and sister don't have a stable government to provide jobs this is working to. these people have come in for financial help to cover medical bills and support with that short term situation fees. jobs. the dream. they may have. five percent of the population but some fighting hard for them to say they are still a force in. his role as leader of the main druce policy from his father he is unexpectedly candid about why i don't want to be in politics

but i have to show it to my father and to my family history which basically working in politics for more than four hundred years is the family business we don't want to exist at some point so we are always fighting to stay in power it's almost like a feudal system and the community always come back to us for help or for assistance unfortunately another one hundred and go to the other countless. christian come to us for help he always comes back to his roots. basically every political party is responsible for his own people the system of the country is built even myself and my father we're all accountable but nobody is going to. anyone not trying on a confessional ticket getting into parliament one of the few who managed it is billionaire for me he's convinced that confessional system has done the country

more harm than good. that has no equality in this country politics economists think social conditions think. of sectarianism forcing people to go forward. to even get the basic rights that combination force people to go for. the state as one of the richest men in lebanon could fund his campaign and ways groups like the civil society. people that they had the cause like the civil society that they really believed that they had a message they couldn't even. unfortunately here it's not anymore the causes that you are fighting for political program is for police politicians a lever mostly for lease you don't buy the too expensive that ruling class did not

want somebody to come in unless you can afford it in my case i can't afford it. during elections politicians often used political agents name as election keys these are individuals who mediate on behalf of candidates to secure very. sophina hass was wonderful at mass to me selection he reveals just how the system works some people used to give money and as you know most of the people are in need of money because of the present political situation and it starts from one hundred dollars per person to fifteen hundred per person to give his. people in poor state they came to us asking for money but we told them this is against the law on the other hand if you cannot pay for their rent we can support you. but the most important thing. is. we were very

very very busy. to feed us told us he'd met over a thousand people for help. foundation claims to have been supporting families long before the elections including running soup kitchens but his church didn't hurt his candidacy equally many voters are just as willing to take advantage. of a policy will help. and. critics say lebanon's distinctive constitution inevitably lends itself to abuse and is the main reason why the country is often cited as one of the most corrupt in the middle east it's almost always been the politicians but.

it takes. a much wealdstone show here. for the select few who are able to make the political system what to their advantage these impressive new skyscrapers are a good example a staggering eighty percent of lebanon is cursed has been privatized but activists say much of this development is illegal civil society campaign and. takes us on a trip to explain why. i did. one of the most controversial developments is this resort recently despite several legal rulings against it.

so. the result is just one of many enterprises spreading along the coast. home with. ma. government. tells us that to add insult to injury the resorts and restaurants routinely pump their waste into the sea. the light can walk. along. a kid then lead. the twenty fifth.

problem with waste management is not. corruption and to which he has responsibility . here on the shoreline it's fishermen like who are most affected he tells us he now struggles to earn a living from these contaminated. i mean over the sun. take us to a stretch of coast where it seems there's almost as much plastic as sand with anomaly on the head of the year the radiation. is really. on him perhaps by the

nose and. vomiting real. good he said. inevitably anger is boiling over. to send a message to the government the fishermen hold a protest at one of the new coastal landfill sites. these were the government's response to the rubbish crisis but the fishing community says that toxins leaking into the sea and now poisoning. my. dad he's the one who got a piece that. you look at because we've got the license because he. thought about the logbook when she made the movie. because that was true. to the old the police try to limit the protest got mad

about it was made. but the presence of the civil society candidate to win a seat in the recent elections and the any politician tarion to turn up gives them posts today they're asking for their rights to fish at least but instead of fishing or they getting his garbage from this. restaurant i'm thinking oh my god i'm going to measure here hell yeah my numbers. it was so divine after they're there they're in the house but again. no one is responsible for this it was them and the government on the same day who and everything we're going to the other is responsible not me i would say every minister in this government and our name the president because they run the country. yet the question of who actually runs the

country is a contagious spirit and subject to geopolitics lebanon's position between more powerful neighbors has always made it fun to outside influences. you have israel on once you have syria with a civil war you have. fighting proxy wars all over the middle east. and north of iraq also fighting because you have the u.s. and russia for a thing for. just. today the dominant external players in the country are iran which supports the shia muslim party hezbollah and its allies and saudi arabia which supports most sudanese and such in christian policies against hezbollah. things came to a head in news amber twenty seventeen when prime minister. was visiting saudi arabia and to the shock of his fellow citizens as something the appeared on t.v. to make a statement for. the. or

she had. or doing more wrong left. femur. what the one hundred many in lebanon believe that she was how the hostage by his saudi patrons and forced to resign because he was losing ground to hezbollah after international pressure had easy returned home and said he wasn't giving up office after rule but he has yet to explain exactly what took place and we both know what happened to the president announced that our prime minister was a person in saudi arabia then the prime minister came back after a month he said ok i'm not resigning anymore and then business as usual.

what's that. this is this it's not normally the people who are in charge of the country i'm not in charge of them and they are protecting iran or saudi arabia by sitting in the parliament with a stick that they are supposed to let you. distort the politics we tried repeatedly to get an interview with the prime minister for this film but our requests were declined his opponents to have their patrons and the leader of the hezbollah party say it has. does not surely away from his reliance on iran not. much more. may appear. on the. loose. and the fuse. hezbollah and its allies including the president michel long's party were the

biggest winners in the recent elections we try to speak with has been listening to ship which we're told that they too were not giving interviews even filming from a car in a hezbollah controlled area is problematic security is tight and outsiders are quickly spotted you know never let me. tell you. i was a. house member. no matter there are. no muslim address right now because michael doesn't palestine. and to israel is one of hezbollah's defining characteristics of the past he did agree to show us the museum . close to the border with israel built on a former battleground the place is a showpiece of hezbollah's resistance to his radio tax. we are hearing sort of bunker. used by fighters or for this during the

war in one thousand nine hundred ninety s. . the first. iranian funs we're told gave hezbollah the means to fight israel more effectively than the last equipped lebanese army it's why for years now proposals that hezbollah's paramilitary wing should give up its weapons have developed both the government and public opinion for its supporters hezbollah is seen primarily as a resistance movement and. why the. more but the existence of a separate armed force on the one political party worries many in lebanon if hizbullah has missiles that can defend lebanon was today stay with his blog why not

transfer these arms into the lebanese army she said my life is handing over office today and leaving the political world where he has served for the last nine years as a parliamentarian for the lebanese forces. a right wing christian party which gained in the elections the aspirations of the. shi'ites from iran to iraq to syria to lebanon is obvious. to the democratic system in the economy of this country this country cannot sustain if hezbollah maintains what they're doing they've had their impact. on the economy of lebanon and the proper governance of the system. i don't feel personally threatened by possible that's for sure but i know that my country is threatened by their presence and surprisingly hezbollah refutes such claims. well i mean. i don't know how him can live

tisha and the doctors will love iran. a lot of the want. in the absence of affective states well for hezbollah like most other political parties office services to its supporters including providing food for the poor. have the. love of god they would. feel. the power of. the last of the our over if. not i'm on the ballot not a mafia one fifty i now sadly i'm not going for

a lot. of banks to defer i don't think. anybody with all due respect the lebanese experts that work in the middle east in general in the gulf in particular bring into this economy the local economy six billion dollars a year on this i don't know what contribution to the economy iran has done. given hezbollah's recent election successes it's made look like iran is winning the proxy war against saudi arabia. yet the history of lebanon is all about no one side ever becoming dominant and situation where we are living it's always going to be this balance between these different agenda because when i was one other you have civil war but maintaining this delicate librium through lebanon's confession the system has long been seen here is both a blessing and curse it's about identity it's always been a lot of them to love them i mean you still have to live with just communities you

don't have one on you have liked him the most you don't have one for the future you have nineteen of them while the power sharing that somebody age in the current constitution might have kept these different visions of life or at least prevented lebanon from returning to the dark days of sectarian conflict its critics say it's also led to stagnation clanton ism and corruption at the hands of an entrenched elite the government is stuck in gridlock the economy struggles and mismanaged public services failed to deliver few places to put somalis the stagnation better than the country's once proud railway system which used to connect three continents lebanon strains stopped running during the civil war more than forty years. and to party squabbles over responsibility and budgets have stopped them moving ever since all the media christly this rusting that is still officially in receipt of public funds in reality it's now just a relic of better times

a victim like so much in love and all of the system that does this show more than keep rivals apart a political dynasty is in place. business updates. going places to get the.

business. going places together. and welcome to the. headquarters and. coming out for the next. four wait for president. of the excessive force and

call for a speedy result. the supply that helps. stocks fuel trucks entering the strip as the chinese. plan for even more. a form of tennis. take the another big fact in his comeback from his dream or another story later right now. the election that was supposed to signal a new era for zimbabwe has descended into violence delays and recriminations three days from now possibly since the vote and there's still no word outspent of who will be president on wednesday soldiers opened fire on crowds protesting after zanu

p.f. was declared winner of the parliamentary vote or commonwealth election observers that urging zimbabwe's electoral commission to release the full results and they have denounced the shootings. we categorically excessive use of force against civilians and wish to engage all parties to exercise restraint zimbabwe electoral commission to export votes the announcements of. results if it creates opportunities for speculation about possible manipulation of the results we have two correspondents on the ground and had already had a metasearch as in the central city where the protests happened while malcolm webb outside the electoral commission let's begin with malcolm protests also took place outside the electoral commission yesterday malcolm what is the situation there now and when are we expecting to hear from the commission about the presidential result . that's why we're out here outside the result of this

is where results are announced as you can see. something. with these police water cannon parked here in case there any more trouble it was just a short distance from here yesterday that there were protests and then the army deployed when those three people were killed when the army use life rounds to break up those crowds but in terms of results it's still not clear when they're going to come but presidential election result was always said you will see come on saturday that's another two days from now and this is something the opposition has been very skeptical about they say that it could have been announced within a within a we live in a day of polling stations being. and they think that this timetable delay that was put there deliberately to enable rigging of the results that's what they say is going on now the electoral commission and the ruling party have disputed that but the opposition and its supporters clearly don't believe those denials. what malcolm

thank you for that for now let's cross to head of the tosser she is joining us live from central harare and it looks a lot calmer today than it was when we were speaking yesterday during the protests hotter. yes there are is quiet occasionally you do see a bride police walk past a drive past and the army vehicles driving past as well is an army chopper there's been circling this area for quite a while i think it's because it's near the literal commission and the results center but you could see it's it's quite a look at those shops there many people in the city have closed their shops some people didn't even come in because people are concerned what is going to happen after these results are announced they also mention the social media some of them fake some of them true people alleging that they've been told not to come into the city just in case they could be problems so this is harare it's normally busier than this lots of traffic lots of people it's a bustling capital city usually but it's not and over here this is a bank that

a lot of people normally come to a few minutes ago the lines were long now of a much much shorter and to the point the reason for that is because they were told by that damages sorry people the money in the bag has run out so you have to go home and trying. to get cash all they wanted was thirty dollars because that's the limit they were told they call in to get that money is just one example of the frustrations people go through in zimbabwe but of course they know that the economy won't recover until those results are announced a new eleusis defeat and those papers. to know how the country is going to move forward. there are exactly a lot of people. and they are employed and some of them are sitting how to remember two thousand and eight you were here you here in two thousand and eight that disputed election there was violence but they never saw soldiers deployed in the streets the only time most probably say they saw soldiers was in november last when they removed from office but the mood in harare ben was was

a lot more different. people in the urban areas wanted roberts mugabe gone what they saw on wednesday shocked many people and some people are saying the army is too much force to try and disperse protesters. opposition supporters say they vote they are demanding transparency from the electoral commission official results show the readings on a pay particular has won a majority in parliament these people are convinced the results already. got yet right the police moved in to disperse them but when that fails the odds to go to those who try to resist what delta. president innocent and gaga has warned the opposition against causing trouble the island and its leadership has forthwith to remove its violence of wood was from the streets so peace returns to iraq and you know asking them to trick

business that is their government is simply reminding them of their duties as the responsible will it go blair was and is citizens the main opposition alliance say the army used unnecessary force three people have been killed. and this or that may be dealt with by the place who are best trained or folded up trained to kill during the war we have seriously left to wonder what this means are we in war are civilians the enemy overspend. the e.u. election observer mission says presidential election results should be released as soon as possible to avoid more violence. runs up. before. it's needed.

but opposition supporters say if the candidates doesn't win they want to accept it the result is over they opposition supporters have been trying to get in but the police have been pushing them back so they've been burning tires a poet is they insist that their candidate the main opposition leader nelson chamisa has won this election there they are over there refusing to leave in protest. by law or presidential results have to be announced by saturday most anxious about what could happen if the lisa doesn't accept defeat. and just in the last few moments we've heard from the electoral commission who say that the release the results of the presidential vote very soon gave north the details added that there's been no skullduggery in the election process but let's move on to other news for now universities and high

schools across bangladesh have been ordered to close for a second day after protests over the road deaths of two students thousands of young people. have been blocked have blocked streets in the capital sense from day the protests are now spread to other cities say a speeding bus had killed the two students on sunday students are calling for the arrest of the driver and a better road safety measure as well let's go to our correspondent. joining us live from the capital protests that we're seeing provided twice student deaths but they have become about so much more now. absolutely this is the fifth day of the protests since sunday and today those roads are virtually taken over by the students wearing an intersection which is a busy for a fair it's known as. the road you hardly see that many cars the students have

taken over the traffic management system rather in a symbolic gesture they're checking their driver's license they're asking people for fitness artistic at whether they have an expired driver's license even one minister was told to take another car because his driver had an expired driver's license and now they're inspector inspector of police he was told to take another car because his driver didn't have a license now this is a symbolic show to tell the people how mismanaged the traffic management system in capital city or even rather the rest of bangladeshi is most of the commercial drivers do not have proper license some of them are too young to be even drivers as young as fourteen years old and they want to show that need this needs to be changed this is not the first time students were killed in accidents in the capital city or other parts of the country but this time it's unprecedented the number of students gone down in the streets of the capital city as young as nine years old

the average days probably thirteen to twenty one years old even their parents celebrities other supporters insulate every day with students out in the street something has to be done we can go on like this it's been years and years the whole government system is things needs to be changed that put up a nine point demands most of them out you know rectifying the transport system as well as an apology from one of the minister. they won all these people who were involved in the accident to be punished including a death sentence so how. how does it happen in the country they lecture and it's. the election is coming up so how is the government responding to these protests especially given the dimension of the protests that we've seen in the country. very much that the opposition cannot protest not given any permission to hold any

kind of gathering and even peaceful gatherings. there is a limitations on press freedom a lot of a draconian law like the information technology law etc put on. journalists have been complaining that there is not much room or space to put a dissenting opinion all put together that there is a pent up frustration within the general population if you get down in the strode the police are very heavy handed there were student demonstration by the doctor university and all the big university for reforming the court system they were very heavily dealt with the government student as well as the police so all put together it's not just just an accident i think it's a pent up frustration which is you see for five days the students were able to literally capitalize the city and virtually take it into their home and the police put out restrain they're not anywhere to be seen near the student because that would backfire and the government is obviously nervous with the election so nearby

they don't want to see that public opinion is descending against them.
