8 points down he'd be neck and neck and maybe even beating it will morales a moralist does seem more vulnerable than ever before environmentalist say that recent violence which burnt down $5000000.00 hectares of forest helped along by his government's allowance of slash and burn. allegations of corruption have also tainted his movement to socialism party but so far there's only one favorite ever more rallies is still the from want to hear and that's because of his handling of the economy which has consistently grown and poverty which has been significantly cut that's why a lot of people still support him but there are all question marks about his approach to democracy itself and that's where his rivals are gaining ground. sunday's vote may not be enough to see moralise home at the latest polls are right this could be close enough to go to a 2nd round. john homan. pass the time for a short break here al-jazeera when we come back. chile's government cracks

if i would compare it to an onion we have in the onion the fleetest party so hard then this is something this is the old city rewind continues with my town to great town being all here in the soil learning about health by eating good it's changed my life i can't imagine doing something else on al-jazeera. welcome back a quick reminder the top stories here on the al-jazeera hong kong police have been firing tear gas at protesters throwing petrol bombs as thousands of pro-democracy activists rally against a ban on face mobs onto government demonstrations began 5 months ago sparked by an

extradition battle which was later scrapped. the head of lebanon's christian forces party summit has asked his ministers to resign from the government but protesters are back out on the streets for a 4th day demanding deeper political change. and turkey says one of its soldiers has been killed in northern syria it says it happened during a reconnaissance mission and comes despite a truce in the area turkish president has vowed to press on with his offensive if kurdish forces don't withdraw from a proposed safe zone. top story now those big protests in hong kong against the ban on face mask agent brown joins us live from the scene adrian so you were telling us earlier about the clashes between protesters and the police before we lost you there but what's the latest now adrian. well the police have regained control of this section of nathan road in calhoun which is the busiest thoroughfare in hong kong and there have been running street battles

here all afternoon on sunday one small a number of businesses chinese businesses were targeted by the demonstrators a shammy a popular mobile phone producer of one of their showrooms completely trashed but interestingly nothing was looted just the inside of this particular showroom was completely destroyed now the protesters are now moved to another area of hong kong known as monk or that is really a red zone for protests as it has been for them as it has been in the past so i magine the protests will continue there into the night now the police have as i say been firing an awful lot of tear gas today and also using water cannon laced with blue dye which of course makes it that much easier for them to trace people who've been taking part in today's protests now anyone who was protesting today daryn was running the risk of arrest because this was an hour north of rice march and of course it's now

a century of legal for people to wear face masks in public unless they have a pretty good excuse put on sunday tens of thousands of people who are defying that don and wearing face masks or to adrian brown they're monitoring those protests for us in hong kong agent thank you now in chinese capital soldiers on patrol in the streets to enforce a curfew and a state of emergency that at least 3 people were killed in santiago when a supermarket was set on fire a metro train stations have been ransacked because of plans to increase ticket phase of president sebastian pinera back down on those fair rises but anger continues at the high cost of living well as a chilean research at the university of cambridge he blames the government for failing to listen to the concerns of the protesters. this should be a political dialogue this should be certain some sort of. agreements table to talk about this to maybe step back with

a decision of pricing the 1st of the of the metro that cost all of this but actually that is just tip of the iceberg many things will be defined in the events of this next 3 days he said because we have tanks in the streets we didn't see that in the last 30 years we have the military in the streets so there might happen something really really damaging for the future of this conversations but there must be some compensation and there must be a process of learning from one of the political class to understand that people cannot take it anymore because they're not i mean they can't live with this sit with these conditions. now the u.k. has asked the e.u. for a 3 month break that extension prime minister boris johnson lost a crucial vote in parliament forcing him to send a letter requesting a delay he didn't sign it and he also included another document saying an extension would be a mistake the u.k. was due to leave on the 31st of october or put in as the latest from london. the

votes will come back on monday if the government has its will now the leader of the house jacob reese morg has let it be known that they will bring it back monday if the speaker of the house that's john bercow will allow it and it's not certain that he will he's going to sort of think about it over the weekend and make a decision on monday morning he is not focused on reading very keen to have the same question asked over and over again in parliament as we've seen from previous iterations of teresa mayes deal being pushed back and back and back and 3 meaningful votes in which it was rejected i'm not sure though that we can call it a humiliation it's i know that a lot of the commentators do see it that way and certainly boris johnson was defeated on saturday this super saturday the 1st parliamentary sitting on saturday for 37 years the numbers were very tight you know i mean 32223068 wouldn't take that many to switch sides to make the government win and the other thing about that

vote on saturday was that it was designed as an insurance policy to make sure that the government couldn't drag out the legislative side of the implementation of the bracks it deal so and there are people who who are in that vote who voted against the government because they don't trust the governance and peace of the hardliners within the government not to drag it out but actually they not against the deal itself so there are several in piece have already said that come and alleges to vote on the deal they would vote with the government so it is very close to call and the other thing that i think is an important aspect of this is that as the days go by boris johnson is slowly ticking off the calendar as we get closer and closer to october 31st and frankly he doesn't mind i don't think whether he gets a no deal on october 31st because we run out of time or whether we get his deal voted through with the e.u.

says it has received promise to johnson's letter al-jazeera has not in barba has more now from brussels. well despite the fact that prime minister johnson sent multiple letters the head of the european council donald tusk simply tweeted on saturday that the extension request had arrived and that he would start to consult with e.u. leaders about how to react his office is saying that it could take several days for them to formulate a response the basics here are that nobody wants to react before the chance of westminster passing the deal has gone and so in the uncertainty surrounding what might happen in london there's good not going to be any public pronouncements on monday the european parliament steering group will meet to consider the latest developments we know that president mccollum contacted boris johnson on saturday asking for a car if occasion on what had happened in parliament and saying that to an extension was in nobody's interests but we also know that many leaders including

germany's chancellor angela merkel a saying that. if it comes to it at the end of this month and there's been no deal passed they will have to grant an extension to avoid a no deal breck's it which would in the 1st instance harm the interests of the republic of ireland so i think we we can expect any reactions here very quickly they're waiting to see whether boris johnson can get this deal passed they're waiting to see what his strategy will be they might even leave it until a summit late in october to decide on whether to grant an extension if in fact one is needed donald trump's looking for a new venue to host next year's summit of the g 7 leaders he's abandoned his plans to use his golf resort in florida after criticism of misusing the presidency for profit the us presidents denounced the opposition as crazed and irrational hostility the camp david presidential retreat as a possible alternative venue for the summit. police have freed around $250.00

then we remembered we had plumbing issues in our homes and through this training we'd get the chance to help ourselves especially when we can't fit men into our way homes while we were living alone without our husbands and women banded together and found purpose training other syrian and jordanian women to be plumbers more than 600 so far most of her customers households schools and other public facilities are wasting a lot of water not good in a country that sits 2nd in a global list of nations with the highest water scarcity and only one of the stable going to think most people think their leaks are in pipes in the woods because they think it's the only reason why tanks go empty but we always find that the main reason as leaky toilet. a broken float valve in a tank like this one can lead to a loss of more than 10 liters per minute a toilet with running water can waste up to 15 leaders per minute so when countries that are dealing with water scarcity households have

a big responsibility to stop the leaks it's estimated that a quarter of the water provided by jordan has been this whole networks leaks away before it can even be used. with more than $10000000.00 people tapping into a water supply that's only big enough for $3000000.00 the government rations water to households them with love and usually people notify us there is a leak in their neighborhood then we go fix it while roads are dug up and pipes replaced the ministry of water and irrigation says households need to help by maintaining their own tanks and fixtures they would see if they would sit by me in this guy and they will help us we should try to save up for. leaky pipes aren't the only reason of course even more water is lost due to theft jordan's growing population has been over exploiting its supply for decades but these female plumbers are doing their bit to help preserve an increasingly scarce resource and schapelle al-jazeera i'm on

a full day and a full noisy yeah so there was your i collection on boards which was completed all throughout the flight where wearing a number of senses with passengers to were tested for them it was hardly a typical experience everyone on this flight had a seat in basements with a flight so although they were encouraged to the ground and spent parts of the flight sitting in the economy section no one had to endure being squeezed into the middle of an economy road for almost 20 hours was this really primarily a scientific experiment or about purpose to a marketing exercise. it was a. research flight i mean the whole idea and the concept came from these guys who said we need to do is we want to see that this does work and then we thought we could do something with passengers at the same time as looking at the pilots and the cabin crew and there we thought was since we are doing it we know it is a lot going to be a lot of worldwide interest but it would be overwhelmed with the worldwide interest

by an extradition bill which was later shalt agent brown has more now from hong kong. many of the people here are taking an enormous risk and of course this is an unauthorized protest which means it's been defectively illegal which means that any one of these be wrong since risk of being irish was rescued and yet as you can see people are continuing to defy the authorities they are not doing a fight large numbers here on kalou side on sunday afternoon tens of thousands of people i would estimate and i think it's important for the organizers of this demonstration. to in effect. the head of lebanon's christian forces party. has ministers to resign but protest is back out on the streets for a 4th day demanding deeper political change. has more now from beirut.

growing very large protests not just here in the lebanese capital but across the country people taking to. the early hours of the morning and as you can see they're returning to the streets so the message they are giving is that this is not going to continue to demand the resignation of the government or not just the resignation of the government. and. turkey says one of its soldiers has been killed in northern syria since it happened during a reconnaissance mission and comes despite a truce turkey's president has vowed to press on with his offensive if kurdish forces don't withdraw my proposed. capital soldiers are patrolling the streets to enforce a curfew and state of emergency at least 3 people were killed in santiago and a supermarket was set on fire metro train stations have been ransacked because of plans to increase ticket says president sebastian pinera of the fare rises continues the high cost of living. all right so those are the headlines the news

continues here on al-jazeera after rewind motown to grow tout statement on fortune but enough. with intrigue.

and our welcome again to rewind i'm elizabeth piron and our task here on the wind is to dig out some of the best and most influential films from the past decade and to find out how the story has moved on since one of the earliest series launched here on al-jazeera was earthrise a show which tackles increasingly important issues of climate change but also tries to find good news stories wherever it can back in 2012 reporter russell baird traveled to detroit and the heart of the u.s.a.'s decaying rust belt a city built on common you factoring he was on the trail of a growing urban farming movement aiming to change the face of detroit and reverse decades of decay rewind recently returned to see how that movement progressed the 1st let's take a look at motown to grow town from 2012. in

1900 detroit covered 30 square miles and was home to just 300000 people with an economy based on manufacturing the railroad cars farming and timber industries. thanks to the introduction of the mass assembly line by the 1920 s. detroit was the world capital of automotive production and america's 4th largest city. 50 years on and things were very different the major auto companies moved their factories out of the city to the suburbs and the workers followed meanwhile the city's racial tensions were exploding into some of the bloodiest race riots in american history. today more than a 1000000 taxpayers have moved out of detroit leaving behind 40 square miles of vacant land nearly $40000.00 abandoned houses and a municipal government struggling to pay the bills. for many detroit is the epitome of urban blight but to find out how detroit's urban

environment is already showing signs of a green renewal we head across town to georgia street community garden. set up a few years ago by mark colvin tin urban farming pioneer and local hero my. man you know i. am i have to lead a neighborhood when i was younger it was a car dealership owner on down the street we had restaurants all the stores shoe shops everything needed was right. down. over half a 1000000 detroiters live closer to convenience stores than groceries and with limited public transport nearly half of the city living below the poverty line access to healthy affordable food is often a challenge like what if you don't drive it and he can't get out of town the malls where people buy food. like this. tours gas stations and the little

scarce markets that we grocery store that we do that we do have places where people can go get food but it's how healthy it is you know and how cheap oil is but you get by you know when you come here and you get a you know. slice pepperoni pizza for a dollar. all this used to be how this is just a a bacon street cred right now. then they get lots are vacant houses to one inhabited house. people move to the suburbs for a better life and the more people do move away. the less tax breaks we had on this tax base the same comforted the meanest and i want people don't realize what a tax base really means to a city you know as far as getting things done and having money word play so

a lot of things we have to do on our own. and messy you know police in each other and cleaning up after each other. but this this is where it all started. i lost my job in the summer of 2007 i had to move back home on george street with my mother my grandmother and. i came out when the snow started melting off all the garbage trucks powered up on the curb and in the process of cleaning it up. i just said i need to put some food here and i'll hear you know work and start talking to people in the neighborhood and finding out that a lot of us are struggling you know our senior citizens who are trying to choose whether to pay for them or by medicaid. and i decided to make it bigger everything

i've done i've tried to engage to the community but it's easy for me because i know everybody so. much help in the garden from the city not really other than because technically having a community garden is illegal still it is eagles right yes growing food. is taking place here we go to see detroit i got family and living like columbus ohio and friends i have in mississippi which is a farming state and now it's like going home in detroit yeah i'm like yeah right the middle of detroit you can go to chickens in detroit i'm like yeah right in the middle of the chart so i can hear them actually in the distance it's a you that's it's as if that's a pheasant to you the present you know the wild what. are you joking me yeah we've got pheasants rabbits fox if you if you take

a shot right here and we're right across the street it looks like you're in a forest kind of speck in the fama no when people ask you what you do and they say would have been clear in. my coding tins no the only open farmer in detroit in fact he's part of a growing movement when i started obviously roland seedlings in the house my dining room i'm living it was full of plants and somebody sent me e-mails and there was a meeting of diners and they were telling them about the different resources that they offer it's all like a weight was lifted off my shoulders and i'll think yes i have to just. you know. must take me to earth would highly productive urban agriculture and education hub supplies would be city farmers with everything they need from support to seedlings morning. among the stuff you know that i. is to be able to have

a space where folks can learn how to grow food at a level that. would be for their own economic interest so if they were trying to grow it to start a farm where they made money or if they were trying to grow it at a scale in order to provide a really nice amount for their family to introduce you guys real quick to this is russell yeah we can find him a spot this is a lot of hard work starts hard for a training program and we're learning to be harboring farmers so what we working with here. actually i think that's a good one that's got some good roots on it the good news i got into it because i have i have young children i want to be able to grow as i think they are growing out who is one of the most revolutionary at this you can ask my disability and and i also have a small. beginning catering company so ok coral corcoran actually purposes if you want to make a business this year you trade is not only unhealthy financially but with health i did at 1st the popular i think you can do so here yourself is do you have

something different so we do it ourselves we know what we have. and be gentle with them they're just so fragile these little thing last concert was saying it's stronger than you realize really. folks oftentimes think of the gardens as that and the farm as being what we do but we see it as being more like the canvas upon what we do our work that really the work is about people these seedlings will be distributed to over a 1000 families in community gardens all over the city on the days when we pick up transplants it's like a carnival there's so many people want to one you know. this is a hope house part of it is using this as being sort of the classroom but then showing that it can be replicated on a smaller level you know you can go out to the hardware store and do this instead of being dependent that's one thing being able to provide the food but you think people would start more fresh fruit vegetables if it was available as a country we don't not grow enough fresh fruits and vegetables for what we're supposed to be eating so that. capacity has to ramp up of that we have to be

growing new farmers that are growing fresh fruits and vegetables. the flipside of that is how do we get folks to eat fresh fruits and i think it's relationship based and i think for most the folks you talk to that find this work very sacred almost always there's going to be some sort of memory attached to it it might be way back in the back of their mind but when you start asking them they'll almost say you know it's because of a parent or grandparent or my neighbor taught me how to do this and we carry that with us still this is my friend peter floyd. one of the pioneers in bloody for taking over vacant lots and. having our daughter. would allow to. you if you were. the leader of this image. it is moved to detroit as a child in a 40 years living on mount olivet street she's seen a lot of changes so how many houses used to be on the street 6464. and i can count 123 is next 56 literally just 6 you can see from here we have done

this push lot right here and house got torn down to the next one. but then we kept on going until we got down to the end so how many how many looked to be adopted so far just $28.00 just $28.00 puts this school there's washing thing is the pick i mean bush. they are delicious read good schools. wow this looks great and what do you think mark what do you reckon to all this learn. a lot of work it is a lot of work but it's fun oh yeah and. i've always say i get tired but it's a good tired but not content with utilizing detroit's adopt a low program that allows residents to lease abandoned properties for personal use it is plans to turn the whole street into a drive through fruit market. and if they want they can take it out and pick it

themselves if they call me a day before i have it ready do you believe that this is you're going to be able to manage that yes is easy all you gotta do is have to put up with it you deserve to live in no time. you just got the grant money she needed to buy the truck to buy volunteering to maintain the local park. just think i was cut it with a push. it won't be brought up but 23 lot more so there is it does not work you need to get a track of leave this just remember we're in the middle of detroit. oh. ok ok so we're going to do some tearing here now we're going to let you look. at it. and thanks to this you can turn that wears learn

that tall grass into productive formulate it into a template fashion because i can plow implant those whole thing in one day yeah that's how fast it is and you think is a real need for that in detroit right now yes because right now i can't watch it while his store is so far apart you can go to the gas station to get joe but to get fresh food is no way no way around you. need to get a goal 7 miles on buses sitting miles to get the food. is so much later in your why business it didn't go to nothing i'd rather work with the laying in the working yet feeling. i like to. use the law. it's not free and if people any take here you take hear me it.

after decades of urban decay the city's getting back on track with improvements to public transport services and the installation of thousands of energy efficient streetlights despite being on the brink of bankruptcy in a city investment is totaled over $9000000000.00 since 2006 as entrepreneurs hustled to stake a claim in the city while it's still going cheap the last 10 years so 59 percent rise in young graduates moving into the cities core reinventing downtown as an arts and cultural home on the outskirts a new wave of urban farming social arriving. in detroit. bringing in early complete cowden ledley rising pleasure to keep could you see here in the city this market the computer. you that's where i had heard. here. which was much smaller than it is now it wasn't getting

national publicity all that. earth and feed. in agriculture. world here we take everything eastern market. and regular i don't go on money and it's mostly big trucks yeah yeah people love their cars in the detroit. people want to brand it is this you know green plays in which is great and people are kind of taking on that mentality more but it's still detroit still always going to have a big cars until there's. something else that yeah it's. in cities before these cities be new. we don't use any kind of chemical fertilizers or sprays or anything. lots of compost and hard work. so this garlics been

saved in detroit for about 7 years now so it does better and better each year because you're selecting the ones that do the best and like oh my goodness i. really love. is the match. living some kind of you have a dream here he. is going to give. yeah most of the folks that still live here now kind of have been through hell and back you know in this neighborhood with crack issues and drugs and gangs and whatever and so i feel like the folks that are here now are probably not going anywhere they've kind of. thing i mean i think that we need to slowly transition to a smaller scale more sustainable agriculture and i think prettiest you know soon that like economically just will make sense to grow the way we do now you know while our whole in style or society is completely reliant on the fact that oil is

cheap yes so once that one element isn't so cheap anymore i mean. everything will change and i think our culture has taught people that you know you should have whatever you want you know by by by and this is not the reality when you live in a lower resource economy you know you have to support each other you have to work together you got to share resources and that's what detroit is doing you know the eastern market is one of the largest open air markets in the united states and it's been growing steadily despite detroit suburbanites ations all but knowing your farm are very important to believe the story from you know you got the preferred stock you know with the i probably do farmers are pretty particular we're up against the standards. detroit's probably a little behind the times when it comes to like the whole food local food thing and especially the organic thing but i feel like it's changing every year you know. the tracks are sometimes shoots are pieces of plastic. or so far out of the 2 miles

that you're buying stuff in season here for instance stuff that's being trucked in from from who knows how far and it might it might have something on it you don't want to see but you'll never know every saturday about 45000 people come here to do the shopping and community here you spend enough time down here you get to know your cellars you get to know your farmers good morning how are you and did you pick these just so this morning it took me 5 times that i've left the world around me something so i'm like you taste everything you know i don't i'm not can't make you do those as well you gotta put gas in a tank that's coming more from the. earth. would you think about these you if you see me. yeah. yeah. i did reach out you know california mercy that we have an impasse but. it's going to get biggest challenge in the city here

he's lee and jackie and there's so much land you think available the city owns it they're not really doing anything with it and can't maintain yeah. it's just caught up in the bureaucracy yeah and meanwhile we're kind of doing it under the radar a little bill hopefully will you know get around to the same moaning this and supporting it as opposed to being a barrier. we we painted the owner of this picture of victimization if we start talking about these food deserts the exact opposite is what a lot of community gardeners and food activists are saying is no we don't need outside interest we have the capacity to to care for ourselves and that of that we know what's best for the community and i certainly think mark is it is a stunning example of this when you literally same people move into your neighborhood because of what you're doing you know and so they're not a lot of folks can claim a neighborhood is. it's seeing people moving into it. i'd rather see

a bunch of how this bunch of people. but you know even in the future i would like to see some of the vacant lots are all a big and lots you know have houses and apartment buildings on with people walk around but i still think we even in that future will need something like this so we can grow. and i think ultimately nature will heal itself i think that when we look at only slots that we refer to as being baking which is a higher anthropocentric view point of that they're not in fact vacant they're full of all kinds of life but those plants i think are really healing the soil that that ultimately is the legacy that we provide to our children and our grandchildren is that we have taken the soils that have been wasted and to allow them to research. everything has to see you know everything grows from a sea and you have to start somewhere so. mo

tell him to grow tell from the dr series back in 2012 so how did they get on in the sense then they want. every trace russell steps recently to find out. this morning and start. with then i can see outside when i start i like to plough on down like to work in the going. 70 year old forge dream of a drive through markets never came to fruition the size of urban farm has grown from 9 lots to 32 and she's also added a lot. so she can now grow fruit and vegetables all year round. the

streets pressure mounts for the this to fix the economy. protests and tear gas in hong kong as anti-government demonstrators continue to defy a small band. he was one of the people that inspired me to get into politics he's always been a community organizer. feeling inspired while there's a record number of ethnically diverse candidates running in canada's upcoming general election. and in sport wales narrowly beat france to advance to the final 4 in the rugby world meanwhile host japan are looking to make more history at the tournament as they get ready to take on 2 time champion south africa in the last quarter final. now protesters demanding political reform in lebanon have been given an unexpected

boost the head of the christian forces party samir jaja has also ministers to resign from the government the crowds are back on the streets for a full thay demanding political change tens of thousands have been demonstrating across lebanon since thursday to protest against tax increases and alleged political corruption let's get the latest. now from say the hold out in beirut and say let's start with the news about how is that impacting the government's stability so far. well the government remains defiant prime minister saddam heidi did not resign on friday he's now meeting with his ministers to try to draft a new budget a new 2020 budget that will not involve imposing taxes in order to raise government revenues to cover expenditure now the reason why this protest was triggered because there were reports that the government intended to impose a further taxes so people really were outraged so the question people here are

asking if you're able now to come up with a budget without the need to impose taxes why didn't you do that at the beginning people here have lost trust in the politicians they say that it just won't be enough but we want this for the government to resign you see firecrackers it's really a party like atmosphere here in downtown beirut the protests are just growing bigger not just in the capital across the country and protesters also blocking roads blocking highways so people really still out of college in force very defiant they say they are not going to get tired they will not stop until their demands are met and their demands is for the government to resign and for early elections to be held right now how warring for authorities is. calling now full general strikes. yes protestors are calling for a general strike on monday the association of banks saying got banks will remain

closed they've been closed since friday this really paralyzes the country it paralyzes any financial transaction so this definitely will pile pressure on the government and now people are talking more and more about the possibility in threatening civil disobedience they're saying that they won't pay their bills so really this is this momentum keeps on growing but people are asking what can. what can these people do to change a political system which has been in place for decades politicians have been in power for decades they have exploited the state's resources to make sure that they have supporters they give supporters jobs so there are hundreds of thousands of lebanese who haven't taken to the streets because they still are loyal to these traditional political parties because they rely on them for their livelihood so it is hard to say what kind of change can happen but this is really unprecedented in lebanon when you're out people from all walks of life from different sects bridging

really the political and sectarian divides coming together into mounting a new system people chanting the fall of the regime but like i mentioned this has happened in the past and it is quite difficult to go up against a political establishment which is backed by the army which is backed by the security forces and so far last night the security forces stayed back on friday they used heavy handed tactics last night they stayed back but if this continues the government could employ force. saying that we know. he gave the government i think until monday to try and come up with a new economic plan but. does that plan do do we know is the government actually trying to include some of the dumond's of the demonstrators because those the month seemed to have gone now beyond simple changes in the tax code. yes what what sato how do you he is trying to do is to come up with

a budget that will not involve more taxes but people here like i mentioned they're saying enough is enough we want them to leave office but there's also reality like i was talking about what is the alternative yes people here say early elections ok fine early elections are held but who will run for office the same politicians they're the ones who have money in the last elections in 2018 the civil society try to win seats in parliament they won 11 seat and even that is some argue that she was able to take win the seat because she was supported by one politician so it is very very difficult for the civil society to really make any difference but people say they're holding on to hope they say this is a new beginning we have to start somewhere whether that hope is well placed it is hard to say but i have to mention that the ruling alliance the pro husband alliance that also includes the president of the country they don't want the prime

minister to resign even though they're not really allies but for them he gives them political cover if he leaves office and they have no other choice but to appoint a son the prime minister from their camp which is the pro iranian camp then we could expect the united states to impose even more sanctions on this country sanction the government because we have to remember the u.s. 'd has been imposing sanctions on hezbollah because of its ties with iran a very very delicate situation in the country political parties that you know media are negotiating behind closed doors because they all have a lot to lose if they resign but for people here the chants are continuing this is a revolution and we want. they downed. their vision of all right thanks so much they know who they're there in beirut. first take a closer look at the economic situation in lebanon the economy is still in tatters following 15 years of civil war which ended in 1990 lab and now has one of the

world's highest public debt burdens it stands at around 150 percent of its gross domestic product or g.d.p. well that's led to crumbling infrastructure and the lack of jobs unemployment for people under 35 years of age is that 37 percent economic growth has been stifled by regional conflicts and lebanon has struggled to support an influx of one and a half 1000000 syrian refugees several foreign governments and donors last year pledged $11000000000.00 in financing for lebanon's infrastructure but that hasn't been handed over was on the condition that there needed to be economic reforms in place 1st. that's go to another hot spots in the globe hong kong police have been firing tear

gas and water cannon the protesters throwing petrol bombs thousands of pro-democracy activists rallied against a ban on face mass demonstrations began 5 months ago sponsored by an extradition bill which was there to shelve protests have widened though calling for more democratic rights. agent brown who joins us now from hong kong we can hear sirens going off adrian have things calmed down at all. i know there's a round after round of tear gas being fired at the moment we're just off nathan road which is basically the busier thoroughfare in hong kong and after a long standoff between police and protesters the police of finally opened fire

with tear gas and this has been going on now for several minutes sustained volleys of tear gas now this is of course a very built up area and local people here are angry because of course this tea gas is now seeping into their homes but the police have decided that that's a tactic they want to pursue in order to try to restore some sort of order to the streets but there is no water right now if at one point the the police are actually firing tear gas over over the traffic that was crossing over nathan road it really was extraordinarily chaotic and once more the other sort of standout feature on sunday has been that the protesters have once more targeted businesses that are chinese or have links to china or owned by people who've been critical of the protesters we passed a shop owned by the chinese mobile phone company way and you know. the show room had been completely trashed but nothing was taken inside so what stood out for me i

think on sunday was once more not so much mindless fighting mindless families and rather that targeted vandalism against anything that was connected to to china there's been also very much a sort of international theme you might say to the protests because some of the demonstrators were carrying catalonian flags saying you know the people of catalonia support hong kong in its bid for independence we support the people of catalonia and of course as always at these protests plenty of people waving the u.s. stars and stripes flag so yes a march once more with a very international feel of course these protesters know that ultimately their cause is going to be best pursued by the international community getting involved one other thing i think it's worth pointing out is you know the demonstrators i saw on on sunday weren't all local hong kong chinese there were people all their faces

were concealed it was possible to make out western faces as well as those of south asians which is a an indication that you know on the ground there that the base for this movement may be broader than we imagine. they were not only carrying flags from the reports we're hearing adrian some at least also carrying and throwing petrol bombs how is this. impacting public sentiment. here at street right there were more petrol bombs thrown on sunday once more the targets were train stations and train stations are seen to have been. telling very much the government line people are angry that the train stations are closing down so early because in effect what we have now in hong kong is is an unofficial curfew no trains are operating after 10 pm at night but yes the violence is becoming more

potent in many senses compared to 3 months ago much more intense than it was say back in june and july and you know you worry you know if if.
