10:42 pm
south africa really really turned the screw their big big forwards really shone in that 2nd half they just they just really choke the life out of japan's attacking game as you mentioned 21 unanswered points and they all deserved semifinalist but it really doesn't take anything away from japan they were very young rugby nation they've reached the 1st ever quarter final of bates and 2 big nations along the way in ireland and scotland and i think the fans deserve a mention as well you know they've they've watched in their tens of millions on t.v. tens of thousands in the stadium south africa. made a point of thanking them afterwards for their kindness and respect that they've shown to other teams giving all the opposition evasions very different from the treatment we saw of the all blacks against ireland yesterday when it was drowned out by the island fun so yes japan should be very proud. ok and wales are 3

a strength for al-jazeera. the publisher telling him he is increasing the money pregnancy some woman herself crisco from appendix b. introducing family planning interview to your culture is a challenging task on a ferry system station it comes from a man when a woman can decide for him one day and how many children she wants it should be in policy but one moves perseverance is transforming her community women make change on al-jazeera. hundreds of thousands take to the streets across lebanon piling on the pressure for the government to fix the economy.

10:50 pm
paul these are mere jogja now his ministers will resign from the government so in a holder of standing by at the scene of the protests in beirut how does it look now saying oh. well the crowd just gets bigger and bigger as the hours the people who are you know the party there are the young christian muslim and christian who are there here in a rare show of unity demanding that the government resign their response from the ruling alliance has so 2 far to come up with an alternative that cannot make a law that the budget proposal for 2020 some of the purposes are being leaked to the media there will no longer be taxes on the poor on the people and so that they plan to tax the banks they plan to tax so the companies they plan to close the
10:51 pm
number and such as the embassies they plan to slash the government salaries that people here have heard that the proposal that what they're saying is that it's too little it's too late we do not trust you you are corrupt officials if you knew that this would be possible why did you do this from the start these protests were triggered when there were reports that the government want to take those more taxes the prime minister saw the how do you do it is a boy told the cabinet session tomorrow afternoon and then he's going to address the nation he is likely going to present this plan to the nation but like i talked to so far the reaction we're getting from the people here it's not enough they're calling for a general strike tomorrow they are spreading a civil disobedience campaign they want the political leadership to leave power they want to early elections but this is easier said than done yes this is the biggest protest movement that levanon years but this is still not the majority of
10:52 pm
the population there is still a sizable majority. population in this country still supports the political parties because those political parties provide them with talks they provide them with services basically their livelihoods depend on them and they're still at home and those political parties they have the support of the army they have the support of the security forces and even if their rival even if these are political rivals they will come together because it is their interests at stake. they know how widespread is the response to the call for a strike expected to be more. well we're getting reports from different syndicates different union saying that they will support the strike the banks association saying that the banks will be close they've been since friday so financial transactions really have stopped since friday schools are closing the 1st cities are closed but like i said it's very hard to see what kind
10:53 pm
of change these people can bring especially since they took out the support that a political party you mentioned earlier something or sucks up the head of the lebanese forces withdrew his ministers from government foreign ministers an attorney member cabinet will topple the government. he was once an ally of the party here since. he has since opposed the prime minister he considers him to accommodate take to the pro hezbollah alliance and really the argument that the ruling alliance is ok the government decides it could take months if not years before you commit this war and that what will happen to the financial situation that when i do govern this forum it is going to be made up of the same political forces this is what has been the secretary general said yesterday which really was very provocative because people here say that they are and they're responding to him because he said you will not be able to topple the ruling alliance what we're
10:54 pm
saying really is. that watershed 11 arts history when people start rising up against political parties and their traditional and their traditional strong but like i said it's too early to say whether or not the street action can bring about real change. of called the hour from beirut where the protestors are calling for an end to chronic corruption the high cost of living and struggling economy means most lebanese find it incredibly difficult to get by crumbling infrastructure and the lack of jobs are the result of its enormous $86000000000.00 public debt more than a 3rd of young lebanese are unemployed but lebanon's politics run along deep sectarian fault lines the country's made up of christians sonny and cher muslims as well as other minorities they tend to vote based on religious affiliations or that makes changing the political system difficult no group is large enough to command the majority in parliament so any new government would be
10:55 pm
a fragile alliance between the same religious factions or mark dow is a professor of communications at the american university of beirut he says the protests go far beyond discontent with corruption. what the government currently is trying to do is trying to suggest a few reforms thinking that it's only a matter of free forms and stopping any addition to taxation which they've already admitted to and retreated from that position but i think it's important to take it into context the current government got the support of all 7 members of parliament they got 121 votes out of a possible 128 so this government really represents all of the committees or all of the parties that are represented in parliament so what we're looking at today the thousands hundreds of thousands of people who've been brought this thing for the past 3 days is just a huge shout of discrediting the entire government and the parliament that created
10:56 pm
this government so i think this goes beyond corruption and just a few deals that have instigated all those protests this is a lack of trust in the system and the calls go far beyond just corruption they're calling for early elections they're calling for a change of government immediately they're calling forward and election of a new president laws and accountability for all the funds that have been stolen and that's why we have $85000000000.00 of that one of the biggest amounts of debt versus g.d.p. so i believe what we're seeing today in lebanon is a huge realignment on political legitimacy. has made a surprise visit to kabul on his 1st trip to afghanistan as u.s. defense secretary the us is trying to kick start stalled peace talks between afghanistan and the taliban the us president broke off negotiations last month
10:57 pm
seeking to end the country's longest war. and has more from washington d.c. . the visit to kabul is the 1st for the new u.s. defense secretary mark esper he's been on the job for a couple of months but he has already been dealing with the issues of the continued u.s. military presence in that country some 14000 u.s. troops are stationed in afghanistan one to train the local military to help it build its capacity and the other to take part in the nato led operation to carry out counter terrorism activities so that groups such as the taliban or al qaeda cannot reconstitute and carry out attacks against their countries of course this is a situation where the u.s. has been trying to come to some sort of peace accord with the taliban before the taliban reaches its own peace accord with the afghan government but those talks have been rocky ground as it were because the taliban carried out an attack in
10:58 pm
early september which killed one u.s. soldier at that time the u.s. president donald trump said that he could not countenance the u.s. has continued negotiations with a partner that was in fact attacking u.s. interests and u.s. persons but there is a larger recognition in the u.s. government that trying to get an eventual peace deal with the taliban is necessary if the u.s. wants to remove its troops eventually from the country one thing the pentagon has been saying in the meantime that tentative plans to cut the number of u.s. forces from 14000 to about 8000 are conditions based and there's no plan as of right now to actually remove 6000 forces from afghanistan it really is going to depend on the diplomatic circumstance. bolivians are casting their vote in the general election for 14 years in power the country's 1st indigenous leader ever
10:59 pm
morales has a fight on his hands to get reelected he's running for a 4th term in office and if he wins will be in power until $2025.00 has ignored a referendum in which bolivians voted to restrict president to 2 terms his rival former interim president the interim former interim president has accused him of leading a dictatorship let's speak to our series reporter now john holmes he's live for us in our county pull off a surprise win. if you're speaking about carlos messer the challenger we're going to have to see there might be. an event in which this goes to a 2nd round now if you're president ever more rallies that's quite a slump in popularity because the last 2 elections he won by more than 60 percent so that would be a reduction for him now you talked a little bit there something about some of the central issues here now what
11:00 pm
a lot of people that let's show them here that have quoting here in these voting stations all across the country. trying to decide on a couple of big issues the economy it's growing well and the president ever moralism his time in charge a lot better than other countries many of them in latin america poverty that's been reduced slashed really in his time in charge but as you mentioned there are questions about his commitment to democracy he changed the constitution to be able to run this time and he did that despite a referendum in which the majority never really of bolivia and so they didn't actually want that there's another interesting thing to bring up here and that's the difference perhaps with young voters and old voters a quarter of the electorate here is under the age of $25.00 and it's not like other countries they have to vote their applies to vote so it's not that same abstention among the youth and we've been talking to a few of the they've been saying basically all my life i've had more of these as my
