i did and they won't be sending any more you know they won't be getting involved there is the political parties here. these kinds of situations. very. stephanie thank you for that for now that stephanie decker with the nation is live in beirut thank you. now and an asian investigators have found fortified boeing by lion and the pilots led to last year's plane crash which killed $189.00 people on board the boeing 737 max plunged into the sea soon after takeoff from jakarta assured gates in the reports. it's taken these investigators a year to determine exactly what happened in the final moments of lion air flight $610.00 the final crash report blames a combination of factors including design flaws in boeing 737 max jet as well as maintenance problems and in adequate pilot training. the plane crashed into the

java sea 12 minutes after takeoff from indonesia's capital jakarta all 189 people on board died including anton so hardy's cozzens he says he's disappointed with the report's conclusions. we actually had big hopes that the government would answer all questions but the information was being given as almost nothing to what we already known. the report highlights problems with boeing's anti stall software knownas and cas it's also implicated in a similar crash in ethiopia in monch which led to the grounding of the max fleet worldwide it's significant because it sort of reaffirms that boeing does share responsibility for this for the way they designed the in care system which is the maneuvering characteristics saying that basically took control of way from the pilots and the pilots were having to fight the airplane pilots flying the line jets

had reported problems the day before it crashed and they say it should have been grounded for further tests. i feel that safety is not yet the core concern in indonesia except for the flag carrier airlines i'm worried about the private aviation companies because even though on paper they're checked by safety inspectors accidents keep happening boeing has already paid a high price for 2737 max crashes within 5 months its chief executive was fired and the company's income has hogged engineers have been fools to redesign software and boeing needs to convince the aviation regulators the grounded jets all safe to take off again victoria gate and be i'll just say are. still ahead on the bulletin a rallying against sanctions and bob oil is a day of protests blaming the u.s. and for choking the country's economy and protection for every vog a ban on climate ruinous training comes into effect.

counting the cost as africa opens up its borders in the hope of it relating the success of the european union nigeria shuts its borders waving smuggling of tax evasion plus catalyst airport expansion and the creation of a regional media hub counting the cost on al-jazeera. welcome to the stream i'm femi oke a hundreds of thousands of people have rallied across lebanon in the largest protests. demonstrators are calling for the government to resign but can they succeed in getting concrete change central thoughts through twitter and you tube and you could be part of today's conversation. thousands of demonstrators across lebanon allow rallying into

a 2nd week in the biggest outpouring of popular dissent since 2015 the protest was 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 what was the final straw while the government has since paid for reforms and removed new taxes from next year's budget protesters say that the measures for short lebanon's president today saw dialogue with the protest as at his 1st public speech since the demonstrations began. with. good water 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 decker hi there stephanie don't mind i want to show our audience how you are getting around in these protests which are huge demonstrations as only one way that you can to effectively let me show our audiences go ahead and play the video. china. in the thick of things as a correspondent trying to get a perspective. 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 drive from the airport and they block the roads throughout the in app so that. and

. the police and 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 feel 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's 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 are coming together against these leaders that they say have been . bared in charge for so long i was someone who just jumped in our car and kissed

me live on air but that sure isn't just the positivity of these protests and how important the people are trying to keep the peace for think that soucie 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 have 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 virginity and there's massive momentum but i think again the government is standing down right people are taking up 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 on al-jazeera 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 she's in tripoli she's an activist who is joining 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 the revolution sign joining the dots for me how did it get this far. well i think the last chopper that operates of were are the well known but it has been a lot of. that preceded the problem and this is why i believe that the revolution

because what is happening on the street and never happens in lebanon or when the people come for that 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 video coming to us they're all protesting right now polly on the street 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 or konami conditions i didn't direct result to complete and consistent fear of the really good school 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 that some moment makes sense what was surprising to be happening in its game after years of the economic crisis and we're feeling it right now the world is they've got a country is on the brink of an economic collapse and it's been overwhelming fighting for everyone it came after the leak of the right size or a few days of white fire that wrecked the country for it when that where the faith that you can manage because of incompetence incompetence whereby it could even maintain the pious i think helicopters that had received it comes over years and years of from us is all fixing corruption think and i'm glad you could live with the vision and the forming the economy by the ruling elite and failing miserably to

do any of the jobs. out there you know to keep the year off of the government bail and getting anything done the government but all of the major political parties and if they can't agree on something constructive then have the people 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 one but also large scale where people came together to figure out by the garbage the waste management cracking like them came together and played bass similar actually with arctic. 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 be going to sort of blocked off the you know what's important is that these protests are actually different than 20152015 was very centralized in the capital beirut it was that and also about you know something tied to the apology basically the government waste management but this

time around you know we have seen protests springing up and you know senators 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 paying taxes on you on top of this not it. 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 you are and this was a bit of a store 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 the christian until i'd if i could just add in my campaign sponsor it's just the. isn't that we would ask ad guess what sect off 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 would end 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 seen 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're going to speak together not because you know we're sent me a shout we're to speak together because we've all been oppressed and 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 nationalistic or more aggressive and that's brilliant that's exactly the that's good that's good advice team of we do really appreciate it and then from 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 you. 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 and what i want out of this revolution goes far beyond just talking down the system for me what i want is a complete reformulation a rebuilding of the 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 sec it's religion or gender unity is our power we know this is huge

this means that these protests are the same much more than just get rid of the taxes would i want to pay more taxes that's so much more it's almost like the rebuilding of lebanese society what's your take my thinking is that this is more than that the fairy 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 asking for is a very big change they want a civil society they want the society that people on the basis of your that but on the basis of what your ideology is and this is the point what we have and i think the only. i remember 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 a ceratin 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 we say more to talk about this on he was on life aka the last latest at the look and then we were talking about how this that this is kind of the end of this is war in terms of that's when people from different factors coming together on this in terms of changing what constitutes politically conflict and love them from the vertical divisions between their lives if you will a dental division that's been the basis of be getting parties that are ruining the country because of bases of blood paying the price of the battle of the corruption

etc and elite ruling 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 before the election concerning whether this is that evolution. of a long lived very big question with a very long answer probably the short i think that evolution is a process that started now had started before that it actually did niall usually with this uprising and it will 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 in the big cities and 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 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 at this is why it's been called the largest protest movement and if they are well and possibly and life politically. this one's not centralized in beirut and it's not within some items but the general population action team not. so orthodox told to show us something that's from the us protests that really stuck out at them he wanted to shove off this is from the tussle is absolutely incredible i want to just pull some of those fossil people. what a hospital talking about. tells me they wanted a single state. support

and those that i feel like i would 'd be like. the lady of the public space but in a very sort of it was kind of i think you basically what is is that people who are specifically there in that area maybe you can get kicked out of that area following his or because the manner in which was be constructed it was reconstructed in a way that sort of in the bay of dubai or like a big ball in saudi arabia or that got the kind of database that kicked a lot of people out and what you saw that night was people coming in spontaneously as 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 mom and 11 boss which is this iconic the mosque behind that mosque sits right here it's was also an orthodox church you know sort of representing governance secretary 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 is that image in downtown that was in the church behind it is sort of the picture perfect card. image of liberty is going system which politicians love to share and for and us there's a lot of their share of it to defeat that could 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 what 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 that 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 they've 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 is theater is 100 years old during the civil war it became an x. rated cinema that militia leaders or a militia not who you know frequent from across the divide 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 a 2nd day of the uprising of 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 moved experience but they had lived with the leaders of the orcs and the coneys that the civil war ever since and it was just beautiful almost i mean. the people were just you know happy that everyone can see people hugging as that of a c.p.m.

motion of being able to pay in the spaces is he overwhelming to me if i may just just add something that's i found this an absolute telkom they were looking at some of the picture yes from the most recent days of the protests and here on pop 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 enough only because he is all and not a nothing about that he's being weak in the military and has actually excited or will get the nomination to do anything about the situation and also came out to silence for a whole week uprising don't anyone like don't call attention to lebanon and all political leaders have to respond 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 she and i will keep doing that i promise we listen to you and we do a little a couple of landmines and miles in 4 hours but that's the people of the uprising 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 it's basically telling them let me know who your leaders are so that establishments can start attacking them and so that these people can start making

compromises on your behalf so that we can feel this uprising because it's very destructive country and we should not be what's more there disturbing to the ruling class about this uprising is that it's very destructive as opposed to the one on one side of the present because people are not just demonstrating in the squares which doesn't read the stuff anything people are blocking roads across the country that we struck economic activity that shopping at 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 bit will resign in the next few days and then we just leave you with one more comment also some calming. on how weighing the protesting today she had what if i spoke father 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. long we want to all of them. there is so much more to talk to i guess about rahm. but wolf right 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 we'll be following you on all of your instagram and your social accounts or everybody look here of course out as a model comb you have the latest for the insights and the news and stephanie decker's work as well she was with us on the show but for now on twitter.

least 2 people have died protesters tried to storm the green zone that's a fortified area where the iraqi parliament and several western embassies are located to the south in syria protesters pushed past police and burned a provincial government building now earlier prime minister marty addressed the nation saying. his reforms will make sure no iraqi will live in poverty the police are allowed to be mr william had that we plan to reduce the salaries of officials in the presidential offices and ministries as well as members of parliament and executive managers of national public entities the funds derived from the reduction of salaries along with contributions from the state will be used to establish a social welfare fund that ensures that no iraqi lives below the poverty line and that any iraqi with that income will receive a monthly grant of no less than $110.00 us dollars the council of ministers will submit the draft law to the house of representatives for approval. there since the

protests began on october 4th 1st more than 150 people have been killed and more than 6000 injured the country's top shia cleric is calling for calm saying the violence could drag the country into chaos and the tasha ghanaian joins us now live from baghdad natasha give us a sense of what the situation is on the streets there. it's now been almost 24 hours since protesters here in baghdad were turned to the streets when we were in tahrir square in baghdad earlier today they were chanting free baghdad corrupt officials out there have been protests not only here in baghdad but across iraq today last we heard from the ministry of interior at least 4 protesters have been killed dozens of people including security force members were injured overcome by the enormous amount of tear gas we were seeing in baghdad these protests are

a continuation of protests that began in early october and went on for days you mentioned the death toll there $157.00 and the government has in the intervening week said it will implement reforms said that the people responsible for killing those protesters would be held accountable that has done nothing to tamp down the anger that people feel in fact it's only added to the anger as one woman told me earlier today we've been hearing reforms for more than 16 years we've heard had enough of reforms talk of reforms is like a sleeping pill to calm the public but right now we want this government gone here's what another man had to say earlier we are done. we are done that's that's you know from them they do what they can do or that's ok you should be they they should leave they don't they don't know how to where they duck go to run. but i

know very little school. very big country minister is saying if there's a new government things will disney giving away our people educated organized you can see only on a friday on saturday people get out but the rest of the week they go to their jobs they do their their work in peace nothing at all only they won't they're given men . the right to do their best they can not do then steve that's all you're putting if i need an arabic term let me sign if they like like 2 i'd like a country keep my cut my dignity there's no dignity in why we're wasting dignity and people sleeping on the on the road asking for a job wish that they can take. the test security just listening to that people have a lot of resolve and that's despite the violence that we've seen thus far already you did mention this to protest a focus in baghdad but this spreading elsewhere give us

a sense of that overall mood in the mud mentum that's gathering beyond those precious pts. well the prime minister. he came on the air after midnight announcing to the people that he was going to enact another series of reforms you heard earlier he said that he would cut his salary and those of other top government officials in half and divert that money to help the poor he vowed to continue fighting eisel he said that next week he would reshuffle the government and prioritize qualifications as opposed to sacked or party but again he's also saying to the public if this government resigns that we will descend into chaos one woman told me this chaos the government is talking about what about the chaos we've been living under keep in mind stan that people here are living under a crushing amount of poverty i spoke to a man in the square earlier today who had

a bill that's the equivalent of $0.25 he says i'm jobless this is all i have he ripped it up and then threw it. back he is really under the gun here pardon the pun and he is complaining about it he actually said during his remarks televised remarks that he feels that his government is being scrutinized in a way that his predecessors were not and he's saying that people now political figures who are calling for reform now didn't enact it previously. the texas thank you so much for that we're going to start with this you know and so i do know k'naan the is a political analyst in a tribute to open democracy an independent global media platform and he joins us from here in doha it was really interesting i heard one of the protesters saying we want a country something that begins about a protest of economic concerns is very quick to become a much bigger question about political concern doesn't. of course than what

protestors in iraq are calling for a country a country that respects their rights and their freedom to express themselves their free their democratic right to express themselves how can one expect or believe the iraqi prime minister is economic reforms if he doesn't even give them their basic rights and their democratic right to protest when he promised the night before in his last speech that he would ensure that they would have the right to express their way of peacefully protesting against the government but i just want to get a sense from you about how this is going to grow around the country the protests mainly focused around baghdad but we are seeing them in other parts of the country as well at what point does that become a tipping point that this momentum gathers and the pressure continues to build on the government. well it's mainly in baghdad and the southern cities because it is right now the momentum or the main factor of those protests is that it is the shias

who are the majority proportionally speaking the majority of the iraqi population standing up the shiite leaders and the shia political leaders of iraq there are different explanations of why the sunni areas are not standing up and those uprisings there are probably perspiring or to wait until what would happen in the next few weeks there is the fear of getting the accusation of being isis sleeping cells from the iraqi government if they do stand up also there are a lot of protesters from the southern cities themselves to have traveled all the way to baghdad to protest against the regime and that is due to the common norm and the idea of pressuring a government when you control the capital city so doing that there is something fundamental about this isn't it that it is rooted into the constitution of the country a constitution that was written during american occupation that's 15 years old there was a compromise constitution that allowed for a power sharing agreement among various sectarian groups. are we heading for a real constitutional crisis here or do you believe the government whether this and

that we will just see an ongoing level of protest for some time to come. of course that constitution was established under a time when iraq was invaded by the us it was also established and written at a time when the regional power players neighboring iraq had a major role in writing back constitution to satisfy the interests of the neighboring countries of iraq and never the iraqi people and the the constitution is not really written in a way to satisfy the sectarian groups of iraq but to satisfy the political leaders of those sectarian groups iraqi identity or the iraqi for collective identity was never fragile it has only its fragility or the challenges faced by the iraqi collected by the entity is due to the way this government has been utilizing those an identity differences amongst the iraqi society so i do not cannot thank you so much for your insights thank you. now in lebanon they've been clashes between hezbollah supporters and anti-government protesters in beirut those scuffles

prompted riot police to me to thing to try to diffuse the situation similar confrontations broke out on thursday night at the same side in the cesar center of the city hundreds of thousands of people have been demonstrating for the past 9 days in a televised address hizbollah leader house on the said the for all of the government could lead to civil war stephanie dika joins us live now from by route let's talk a bit more about what. was said and just take us through some of the concerns that he has both about the ongoing protests but also what he says about outside interference and political interference with in the protests themselves. something that certainly hasn't gone down very well here this. is may not be during civil society it's the people and that is that linked together against you know the political elite which does make a part of it is markedly the most wanted to. in this country and he did praise the

protesters when it came to what they had to cheat he said it was not president then you have managed to get this government to push through economic reforms that without being tapped but many many warnings i'm going to bring in a guest to talk about his reaction to mateys a civil society activists think what is your reaction to the speech of how. i think he's trying to spread the message of. just that people that something might happen if they're going to put it up for the 2nd i think it's considered safe because he doesn't realize that. it's done is. he trying to split those messages. just like put it to give aid and they don't realize that people on the streets can see on the street that is that we. don't want this just that is an issue of the government to support the option if we didn't finish this.
