be in the run off if they stick come to a run off and that's quite a broad alights of a lot of opposition figures from different parties they don't usually come together so something new as well so you have opposition need a callous message claiming that there was fraud in this election clearly the president disagrees with him he's declared victory how is this going to be resolved what happens next. that just a no on the colors mess or is is claiming that there was gigantic fraud president was saying will prove and at the moment carlos messer hasn't been able to provide hasn't been able to present any evidence of the fraud obviously this would be the tribe you know the electoral tribunal and the actual vote counting itself but what did happen was that on sunday night there was a rush to count the votes as mates coming quickly the results to give certainty about the election they were coming in quickly we got to 83 percent and then there was suddenly

a pause and the vote no more came in for 24 hours so we don't have evidence of fraud here but we do have that big 24 i would go out and that's really what sparked off this controversy people asking what happened and not trusting the process thank you very much with the latest from the left has john heilemann. well chile now a president has announced an electricity price phrase on plans to raise pensions as the government tries to end a week of violent protests across the country at least $18.00 people have been killed since the anti-government demonstrations began the un human rights chief on the chilean president michelle bachelet has announced a special mission to investigate alleged human rights abuses it came as president sebastian pinera tried to appease demonstrate as with the concessions. but the comical but the today i want to see good news with my countryman today we saw him didn't seem to congress a bill that stabilizes the price of electricity health tricity rose on average of 9.2 percent a few days ago we want to cancel this project rise which affected almost 7000000

country have been paralyzed by anti-government protests now into their 8th day in a televised address lebanon's present to shell out vowed to fight state corruption and says he's ready to meet with the protestors. u.k. prime minister boyce johnson is asking parliament to vote on a snap general election to be held on december 12th in an attempt to resolve the deadlock over breaks it. clashes have erupted between supporters of bolivian president evo morales and his opponent carlos myself after iran is declared victory in sunday's disputed election. now the u.s. vice president has sharply criticized china's record on trade and human rights a day ahead of the latest round of trade talks between the world's 2 largest economies but mike pence also says washington wants a constructive relationship with beijing. under president donald trump's leadership the united states is treating china's leaders exactly how the leaders of any great

world power should be treated with respect yes. but also with consistency. and candor. and in that spirit of candor. i must tell you that in the years since my hudson speech. beijing has still not taken significant action to improve our economic relationship. right so for more let's go to our white house correspondent kimberly alkan of course kimberly we know that these 2 countries world's 2 largest economies are locked in a trade war right now mike pence in those remarks there has to be blaming china. yeah and that is the consistent standpoint of the united states we had expected the speech may be slightly more dovish than the one he referenced in that sound bite just a moment ago his speech of 2018 where he lashed out at china dovish is certainly not the word that one would use to describe the speech it was an awful lot of

finger pointing against china even as the united states seems somewhat desperate perhaps to try and strike at least a partial trade deal with china in advance of the apec summit this set to take place in chile next month the u.s. vice president came down hard on china in this speech particularly in the sort of sticking point resolving this trade dispute that is what he references the ongoing intellectual property theft that is hurting american businesses he says that china has not ceased to to stop this type of behavior despite making promises in the white house rose garden to do so so the united states continuing to demand a level playing field in terms of the economic policies the trade policies saying that the will not stand down well the united states is not looking for confrontation it is continuing to take the strong stance in the trade talks and china has been facing its own share of economic challenges recently how might that shape its approach to these trade talks. it doesn't appear that the united states

for its part has changed its tactics in any way it's certainly acknowledge that there is a slowdown in the chinese economy that was something that was referenced by the vice president but at the same time he continued to sort of double down on the argument that the only reason that china have a very strong economy to begin with this because of u.s. investment and the united states is no longer going to favor china at the expense of itself so i don't expect that we're going to see a change in the u.s. tactic if anything it appears that the resolve has only intensified the united states continued to make a strong statement from the vice president's speech towards china citing some things that we know will upset chinese leaders for example the ongoing surveillance state the in vestment in that type of infrastructure and also the ongoing sort of

human rights abuses that the united states says it can no longer turn a blind eye to thank you very much can really help from the white house. well china says it wants to be a world leader in technology but rights groups are accusing it of using its technology companies to target its citizens florence really has more on this now from beijing. from low tech to high tech that's how china is transitioning its manufacturing base the government has identified high tech industries as important dreyfus in its a bishan to become a global superpower companies like these at an expo in beijing are part of the so-called forced industrial revolution some of the technologies here are helping to improve people's lives you know you're using this almost a year at 1st i was. too but now. it has changed my life a lot but other technologies and they're used by chinese state apparatus have

caused concern. this company develops facial recognition technology designed for public security and now once an image of a person is captured it can be made at me put through a database and when there's a match an alarm goes off and rights groups have criticized china's use of surveillance technology in its campaign to target ethnic weakness and other muslim minorities in syngenta in the northwest wet least a 1000000 people are held in camps earlier this month the u.s. blacklisted 28 chinese organizations including 8 tech companies the move although not directly linked to the current trade war was seen by some entrepreneurs here as a readiness to take aim at chinese tech firms. very mobile that america wants to contain china's high tech developments in the all can take knowledge is well controlled by them they took the profits but only left alone suddenly were

chinese now china has made many friends in this be afraid that china will always take the u.s. accuses china of coercing american firms that do business here to transfer technology to chinese partners and interim trate deal reached between the 2 sides of this month includes an agreement that china would do more to protect american intellectual property but the details have yet to be ironed out and if no deal is reached we may yet see another round of tariffs with no end in sight for the us china trade war florent al-jazeera beijing. a vigil has taken place in london in memory of the 39 people who were found dead in the back of a truck just outside the u.k. capital on wednesday people gathered outside the home office the government department responsible for immigration holding banners in support of more open entry to the country police confirm that all the victims were chinese citizens officers have now been given more time to question the driver of the truck lawrence

lee has the latest. well the news of the day verts the 39 word chinese has led to media speculation that they could have been weak is from the west of china too because of course heavily persecuted by the chinese state there a week of refugees already in turkey their overland routes towards western europe through turkey through comes light bulb area and grease and so on the belgian and the british authorities say they've noticed a spike in attempts of people trafficking from belgium since the french authorities closed down the camps in cali and dunkirk and so it seems the criminal gangs are looking at belgium instead as a route to the u.k. and apparently favoring refrigerated containers to put these people in is absolutely hideous as all that sounds politicians over here are expressing their horror and same keep saying not much more must be done against these criminal gangs while completely ignoring the facts as human rights organizations keep saying these

criminal gangs only make a living out of this because the asylum policies across the european union saluted terrible and the e.u. keeps trying to put up fences and stop people coming in the 1st place and that's the reason why it's so lucrative for criminal gangs to exploit people in this way just today that they often this happened east of london the european parliament in strasbourg was asked to pass a resolution to make better search and rescue facilities in the mediterranean where over a 1000 people have drowned this year and that resolution was defeated by 2 votes because the center right in the european parliament allowed itself to the far right to block it and so the european union says it's into human rights while maintaining a policy of trying to stop people coming in and that ultimately is the reason why the criminal gangs are doing so well and people keep dying in this way. the international red cross has warned of an imminent humanitarian catastrophe to an overcrowded migrant camp in bosnia chad camp on the border with croatia has no

johnson. the bicycle guy and yet the ukase dependent on many kenyan produce especially tea and flowers. it's during the winter months when it's cold and grey in the united kingdom that kenyan flowers are in high demand now no one really knows what the u.k. will look like then whether they'll be a deal or not but no matter what exporters here say the people in the united kingdom will be in need of their flowers. it takes 10 days for the flowers to get from kenya to the u.k. because under current regulations the plants have to transit through absa dam which is the easy flower but if bricks it comes into the bin at least see an open seat where you can get into direct street and a really shows you the u.k. meaning that once you might be able to get like fresh flowers because of the shuttle distribution change and all sorts it means that they're going to have

welcome to the stream i'm femi oke a hundreds of thousands of people have right across lebanon in the largest protest seen there in years demonstrations are calling for the government to resign but and they succeed in getting concrete change send your thoughts through twitter and you tube and you could be part of today's conversation. thousands of demonstrators across lebanon into

a 2nd week in the biggest outpouring of popular dissent since 2015 the protests were sparked by the government's plan to impose a tax on the use of whatsapp and other internet services for many lebanese already struggling to get by that was the final straw or the government has since paid for reforms and remove new taxes from next year's budget protests to say that the measures for short you have an ins president today sort dialog with a protest as if his 1st public speech since the demonstrations began. rodrigo good good what a being i call on you to observe to act as monitors until all these reforms are implemented without crippling the movement and i will act as a guarantor and i will expose and reveal whatever is taking place and i will do all that i can to have these reforms implemented i have listened to calls to topple the regime but the regime cannot be toppled from the streets. we're joined now from

beirut by al jazeera correspondent stephanie dhaka hi best if you don't mind i want to show our audience how you are getting around on protests which are huge demonstrations as only one way that you can to effectively let me show our audience says go ahead and play with any of. the al you china. to really back to the way. declared. me. so i feel that in the thick of things as a correspondent trying to get a perspective for al-jazeera audience what are you seeing what is the story from your perspective. when it's removed i mean that video you just played that was friday night and i just arrived from the airport and they blocked the roads throughout the in app so that. and. the police in the army used heavy

handed tactics so the way we operated and then the next day as we all know now nothing happened and tens of thousands came out to the streets and it just started to grow so what we do we've been going live right in the middle of the crowds we have our sat we've been pretty much standing on the satellite truck during their lives and grabbing people throughout the night and interviewing them live in the messages is the same and of course this this crowd is made up by so many different people so we were in beirut to pour days i've just come back from tripoli we were there for 2 days as well which is lebanon 2nd city it's a neglected city the protests there have been massive and i think a lot of people were surprised by that there was that viral d.j. video that everyone 1st kind of thought it was in beirut but it was in tripoli which is a city that is traditionally seen as more conservative i think so we just were trying to get as many voices talking to many people we do different kind of reports

political reports focusing on different kind of people what they are i'm yeah that's a video playing of the d.j. what they want and the message is the same the fact that the people are fed up the fact that it's corruption it's it's their living conditions they say they've been promised so many things they pay taxes get nothing in return they want to count ability and also quite a beautiful thing that you see is that people say they've been so disappointed in the policy they know it's difficult but there is a renewed kind of hope so i think these are extraordinary times or as a journalist to cover it nobody knows how things are going to play out of office to everyone from ordinary people to politicians to analysts. know but everyone will tell you we have no idea and certainly are under no illusion that it's going to be difficult but just watching the people and the mix of people of course which is so. important here coming together against these leaders that they say have been ogled but bear in charge for so long i was someone who just jumped in our car and

kissed me live on air but that shows you just the positivity of these protests and how important the people are trying to keep the peace for i think that so key we've seen of course you know there's been randoms in the crowd that will try and throw things at the army or the police to provoke them and you had these crowds of girls particular at the front line will put their hands up you had religious leaders you know young men and they all keep shouting peaceful peaceful because this is a peaceful protest they don't want to lose their legitimacy and there's massive momentum but i think again the government is standing down right people are taking off the streets we don't know how it's going to play out staff thank you so much i know you are finding your next report for al-jazeera we will watch out for that one out as air out of the dot com and of course on al-jazeera english as well steph deca she's one of our correspondents she is right there in lebanon covering the protests thanks for joining us we are going to continue our conversation and we're

joined now by rima refining she's in tripoli she's an activist who has joined the protests. is a political organizer and co-host of the lebanese politics podcast he's in beirut and also in the lebanese capital we have to more as he's a journalist at the daily star hello everybody it's good to have you remain i have to show this picture you shared this with us looking very closely at the sign that you holding up while you were protesting the world needs a woman led revolution now this is a stance obliquely this protest started because there were going to be taxes on whatsapp and internet. services and then your out there holding up your revolution sign joining the dots for me how did it get this far. well i think the laptop or the operator were actually the one. but it has been about a problem. that preceded the. i believe the revolution because what is happening

on trees and never happens in the or when people come. and i think under one and you know there are different political parties going down under the tree then we want to. i'm just i just want to go to a pollyanna all of the comments that we have a comment has now all protesting right now pollyanna at the stream why she is out on the streets right now in lebanon have a listen. i'm protesting this week in lebanon because i recognize that our current source you konami conditions i didn't direct result to complete and consistent fear of the early political class and therefore lost all credibility to implement any of the changes you want to see i put this thing because i demand better political representation outside the confinement of the sectarian identity and i'm protesting because as a woman living and working in beat would i want to hold my government accountable for robbing me and many others like me have a chance to imagine

a future in lebanon. is i'm just looking at that you study social movements you've got one happening right there on your doorstep can you can you explain to my international audience why you think it is happening right now. yeah. nothing it's a moment that makes sense what was surprising to be happening in its game after years of the economic crisis and we're feeling it tracked now days ago the country is on the brink of an economic collapse and it's been overwhelming fighting for everyone it came after a week of right fires or a few days of white fire that wrecked the country or it when the way to face them if you can manage because of incompetence incompetence whereby it did it didn't even maintain the fire fighting helicopters that had repeated it it comes over years and years of promises of fixing corruption thinking and livelihoods issues like with the missions and the forming the economy by the ruling elite and failing

miserably to do any of the jobs. out there you know the case be it off the government and getting anything done the government but all of the major political parties and if they can't agree on something constructive and helpful for the people that make them and comes after the years as well as other protests and other movement and we had one. that was also big in scale not as large as the form but also large scale where people came together and figured by the garbage crack the waste management cracking like them came together and played bass similar actually are starting. and demands that they are reading this although this time they are much more united team lost in letting go ahead. yeah i mean to pick on is going to sort of blocked off the you know the what's important is that these protests are actually different than 20152015 was very centralized the capital beirut it was that and also about you know something tied to the apology basically

the government failed to get waste management but this time around you know we have seen protests springing up in the. heavens and the folks on free on the 1st night last thursday we had reports of 60 areas and what that means is people from all across the peninsula unities. which you know is a nice way of saying you know sects religious sects and people of different classes all in the streets together and really unify around you know be unified around the i mean it's there on the economy it's around the policy it's the build up of all of these things over all of these years all the mismanagement and the taxes in the end really was just the straw it was like you know what the country is still smoldering from some of the worst wildfires we've had in decades the government the next day comes and says oh by the way we're also going to be a tax on you on top of this manageable. this would be

a good point to mention something that came up you know as we were coming on the show as we were prepping him up you know on the show there when we were out on there if you were out there sect you know what religion are and this poses a bit of a stir online there's a tweet up there with some colorful language for those who are interested and i think it is an interesting point because for a long time the middle east in general and lebanon specifically as well has been used to this through sectarian lines are parliamentary seats or other paid bisect it's you know every story you'll see is about the shiites hezbollah or 'd you risk getting until i'd if i could just add in my campaign splits it's just simple. isn't that we would ask ad guess what sect thing from this because lebanese politics is so divided that we wanted to make sure that we will inclusive and then reflected everybody so they may have been insensitively as would to but it was particularly

important that we felt that we had a representative shout go ahead it's i think it's interesting because it's sort of a lot of people look like a remnant of a system or a way of thinking that might no longer be relevant i mean what this movement is about is that where the streets. and we are in the streets together not because you know we're sent me a shout we're to speak together because we've all been oppressed and that's sort of the unifying factor so maybe we should start thinking you know when we think of people on t.v. or when we think of people in general we should stop thinking now about a diversity of sects and maybe think it's the thoughts you know not think of it consistent so you know different religions but according to sense of i.p.o.'s and then we can foster real politics you know and that's what we're seeing on the street we're seeing people who are more nationalist or more aggressive and that's brilliant that's exactly the that's good that's good advice team of we do it appreciate it and then as for the off the back of that comment that happened

yesterday and we are following up on that we really appreciate that feedback and advice for us as a show talking about unity in lebanon is really important it's something that another protest that abraham put up to us i want to add his comment to this conversation. so what i want out of this protest i'm what i want out of this revolution goes so far beyond just talking down the system for me what i want is a complete reformulation or rebuilding of lebanese identity i want us as a people to get past our sectarian biases to be our costs to be our issues our collective traumas and get out of this protest get out of this resolution a stronger more united people regardless of race sect religion or gender unity is our power we know this is huge

this means that these protests are asking to say much more than just get rid of the taxes would i want to pay more taxes that's so much will it's almost like the rebuilding of lebanese society will take my thinking is that this is more than that the area because honestly i feel like this is how we heal the wounds of war you know some people are criticizing that the fact that we're 2 people for evolution but i think this is the 1st time that they see me as a true christian i have a hand in hand and going down to the streets with only the music that many people across the country are iraqi or it's a very big change they want a civil society they want the society that people on the basis of hear that but on the basis of what your ideology is and this is the point you have and i think the only. i read the civil war ended in 1990 so it's been a quite

a long recovery process if the politicians are still using that as a reason for why there should be austerity czar this idea about rebuilding lebanese society and this being a revolution is it a revolution or is it just a series of protests that gone on for over a week. all right so let me divide the question just picking up on what you're saying i love. the civil war aspect of this that we say more to talk about this on he was on life aka the last latest episode 100 talking about how this that this is kind of the end of this is one of the that's one of the people from this in fact coming together on this in terms of changing what constitutes political conflict and love them from the vertical divisions between their lives if you will resent the division between the bases be dictating parties that are ruining the country because of bases of blood paying the price of the battle of the corruption etc and

elites and so this is what's most significant to me about it is that it is bringing together people. together people but also against a common enemy that all of them used to at some point or another maybe before and maybe even supported elections concerning whether this is that evolution. of a long live bait the big question with a very long answer probably the short i think that evolution is a process that started nala had started before that it actually did not usually with this uprising and it's really go on this is an uprising in terms of actual popular uprising people taking any action without any action by anyone they having the initiative to go down to the street every day to risk a lot of things tediously in their communities by challenging political parties like dominance or by not going to work and all of these others taking into that

because they believe that this is going to achieve something the amount of grassroots reach of this uprising is fascinating the number of people in different areas and how it would be centralized in one with same thing is really amazing is this is why it's been called the largest protest movement and if they are well and possibly and life politically significant. yes but once it's not centralized in beirut and it's not within some items well the general population action team not. so or of the last told to show us something that's from false protest that really stuck out at them he wanted to shove off this is from your. absolutely incredible i want to just pull some of those false so people can actually hear what almost all talking about. tells me he wanted us to send us to.

the. support and those that i feel like it would be like. to. be made to go out of the public space but in a very sort of it was kind of i think you basically are is that people who are specifically there in the area maybe you can get kicked out of that area following news or because the manner in which was be constructed it was going to strike that in a way to sort of been the bane of dubai or like a big ball in saudi arabia or the gods and that basically kicked a lot of people out and what you saw that night was people coming out and spontaneously i just people came out across the country they came and they set a fire in the main crossroad in downtown beirut and it is wrong to the moslem to let me in boston which is this iconic the mosque behind that mosque sits right here it's there's also an orthodox church you know sort of representing governance

sectarian for existence and why it's like out to me is because the political class in this country have really entrenched themselves on the basis that they are the ones who represent and protect the various religions in this country and that it is better that image in downtown that was in the church but i did it is sort of the picture perfect postcard. image of liberty is going system which politicians love to share and forget about so there's a loss their share of it took a few it's a very great about but in the background it's really just a bunch of corrupt grown used dividing the spoils of a country where the people suffer but you saw there is those suffering people coming out lighting a fire there and i think the symbolism is just you know extremely powerful. if i could go on to speak a little bit more about public space though because i when i feel like it's important to say that those were the 1st days and since then and things had sort of mellowed out a bit people are continuing to block roads but we don't see as many fires but

public space has become a huge issue and it's something that we've seen across the country people reclaiming public space that has that has been taken away from them but there's been this image that you're seeing on the screen now ours it's an image i took on the top of an abandoned theater in downtown beirut speedo's 100 years old during the civil war it became an x. rated cinema bed militia leaders or militia united you know frequent from across the divided capital between christian and muslim and after the civil war it was kind of you know shattered to the people and this was the picture you see there is on friday the 2nd day of the uprising for the revolution every one of us and it's just you know people are just walking around inside sort of in this shadow of a building that is from the civil war that most people have been experienced but they had lived with the leaders of the orcs and the cronies that the civil war ever since and it was just beautiful almost i mean. the people were just you know happy

because i can see people hugging as that of a c.p.m. motion of being able to pay in these spaces is he overwhelming to me if i may just just add something that's i found this an absolute outcome they were looking at some of the picture yes from the most recent days of the protests and here on top why are people placing what. revolution these demonstrations what that. for we've just got this in on twitter from abdullah dammy abdullah says the lebanese are also just human beings wanting a fulfilling life freedom of choice being happy without rising debts rising taxes shortage of jobs people feel limited in their potential and that's painful especially for your people and then we have to go really think about what happened today or when your president spoke to spoke to you for the 1st time in many many days these oh i see you smiling i'm not sure that's a happy smile articulate that smile for us. today with a disappointing waning day to say the least i mean the president seems extremely

weak not only because he is like all and not a nothing like that he's seen in the military and has actually excited or or get the nomination to do anything about the situation and also came out to silence for a whole week of archiving don't you one like don't agree at all attention to lebanon and all political leaders have to be funded and then the president of the public has not had not appeared since the day and when you appeared he said really nothing he said that i have been doing this and that i've been trying to buy throughout jim keep doing that i promise with this interview and he drew a little a couple of landmines miles in 4 years but that's the people of the fighting that's on most importantly the one that says send me a present this is a people who to present to and i would talk to them listen to them and this is a job because basically telling them let me know who your leaders are so that establishment can start attacking them and so that these people can start making

compromises on your behalf so that we can kill this uprising because it's beta struck down trees and we should not know that's really what's most disturbing to the ruling class about this uprising is that it's very destructive as opposed to the one. you presented because people are not just demonstrating in the squares which doesn't read the stuff and i think people are blocking roads across the country they'd be struck economic activity that something that the governments and the public institutions and this is what bush is putting pressure on the politicians and that's probably what will lead them to take any make any serious come from mike and probably that the government the bill will resign in the next few days and let me just leave you with one more comment. on how weighing the protesting today she had what if i solve and this is what she told us have a listen. this recurring demands emerging from the streets is a shabby the scotland song which directly translates into people on the fall of the

regime the power of these demands is that they're happening on a very nonhierarchical decentralized spontaneous manner across all different classes economic backgrounds and religious sects. and so on when the president the prime minister and the leader of the hezbollah part to respond to these social economic and political demands by saying they want to make reforms from within the system we respond from the streets and see it's too little too late guillen yana killed on we want to all of them out of power there is so much more to talk to i guess about rahm. but when friday at the end of the show thank you gas for helping us understand this protest demonstrations revolution however you want to categorize it so much better in lebanon will be following you on all of your instagram and your social accounts or everybody look here of course out is a middle column you have the latest for the insights and the news and stuff and decorous work as well she was with us on the show but for now on twitter you called

like these before the president's speech did not address promises that he will address corruption and try to return some of the stolen money but that's just promises that there is no confidence. with the people that they will actually that the government will follow through and recover the stolen money they say they want radical change they want new faces in power who are not affiliated with the governing parties and they're promising to keep lebanon on lockdown until that happens blocking the roads is very essential because we are. to keep the country as . of course everything related to food water transport the main the people who can't afford maybe to. eat drink the governing coalition says the protesters only worsening the economic crisis they're also accusing opposition politicians of riding the wave of popular anger to push their own political agenda the governing coalition is refusing to resign or ignoring calls for early elections service that

just change can only happen at the ballot box at the up point in time both sides are not budging the stalemate is dangerous in a deeply divided society. so far the army has taken the side it hasn't used excessive force to open roads it hasn't emptied squares it has kept the anti-government demonstrators loyalists apart there have been counter protest by supporters of political parties in power so far they have been spontaneous and limited in numbers that can change 7 for their. president has warned his country will crush kurdish fighters if they don't withdraw from the 30. and syria. have begun retreating from some positions are along the border with turkey as part of a 6 day ceasefire agreement between turkey and russia but there are still reports of fighting from both sides. here u.k.
