9:01 pm
from europe including britain's parliament except to pass legislation for a december election to try to break the brakes it pass. we are sorry deeply and truly sorry one year after $189.00 people died in the crash of a boeing 737 in indonesia the airline c.e.o. apologizes to the families of the victims. and people some who were very sports bangladesh stalled around the shock about how sun has been banned for 2 years on 3 corruption charges that and more later in the program. hello we begin with breaking news out of lebanon the country's prime minister has submitted his resignation to the president after days of antigovernment protests.
9:02 pm
best's side of says he has reached a dead end in trying to resolve the political crisis xenophobes are reports from beirut. unrest in the streets of beirut running battles in the heart of the lebanese capital. police moved in after hundreds of men allied with political parties in power attacked abd type government demonstrators who have been in the streets for almost 2 weeks demanding the ruling elite leaves office the prime minister saddle how d.d. has now handed his resignation letter to the president. for 13 days the lebanese people have waited for a decision for a political solution that would stop the deterioration and i have tried during this period to find a way out to listen to the people's voice and to protect the country from economic security and social changes today i will not hide from you i have reached a dead end it is time for us to have a big shock to face the crisis. i the crisis is threatening civil peace the protest
9:03 pm
movement doesn't enjoy the support of the entire country has been law is among a number of groups backing the government i they chant to me but their leader hassan nasrallah the iranian backed movement believes there is a campaign to topple the governing coalition to change the balance of power in favor of the pro western alliance protesters deny those accusations definitely some people try to take advantage of this entire revolutionary movement whereby they will try to ride this wave and it's normal but the majority of the people on the streets are not that that is a very good support there are celebrations in the streets how did his resignation is seen as a welcome 1st step but what protesters are asking for is radical change early elections and an end to political sectarianism easier said than done the question is will this trigger now a process by which. hezbollah which is the critical player in the background as
9:04 pm
well as the president. has already had this summit. will those people agree to a technocratic government that would mean giving up power so far the governing alliance says it will be toppled only through constitutional means how do you see maybe hoping his decision to resign will pressure his coalition partners to make concessions hezbollah led government needs political cover from someone like who enjoys the support of the international community what began as a spontaneous protest movement is now a political crisis that spilled onto the streets lebanon's fault lines are deep and it's unclear what happens next a political vacuum a precarious situation a divided street an economy grinding to a halt lebanon has been here before and like in the past it is the security of the country which is facing the biggest risk. let's not bring in zain after an update
9:05 pm
from beirut so what has been the impact of the heidi resignation on the streets of beirut cena. well as you can imagine they're welcoming best sir calling this a victory what they have been demanding really is for the government to resign and for early elections to be held they want to get rid of a ruling elite that has been in power for what 30 years now since the days of the civil war they believe that they're corrupt they believe that they mismanaged the country so people here are welcoming it but they're also realizing how dangerous it is to remain in the streets as you saw in our package a short while ago they came under attack by supporters of the government so now civil society groups protesters they're talking about the possibility of opening roads no longer blocking roads across the country and instead focus their protest action outside government institutions and most likely to demonstrate in in some square. yes across the country so it is
9:06 pm
a very dangerous divide of the prime minister has now responded you said this resignation to the president the president has still not spoken or reacted to got yet we understand he's going to give his reaction tomorrow on whether or not he's going to accept that resignation or whether or not some sort of a compromise can be reached in order to avoid a very dangerous political vacuum in this country but say no so like you're saying this is not it is for the protesters because they have not only demanded heidi it is resignation but a whole series of other resignations as well. yes it's a crisis that is far from over but that the end of the day there there are demands really it's easier so it's easier said than done they're up against a political elite who control security forces even the security agencies in lebanon are divided they're affiliated with the different political parties so the danger is there are those in power they're clinging on to power the message has been so
9:07 pm
far you can't topple us from the streets if you want to topple us you have to topple us through constitutional means our constitutional tools because we won an election in 2018 and it was legit a legitimate election you see the problem is those in power now believe that this is a campaign not just to improve the conditions in the country but this campaign has a political agenda and that is to change the balance of power in this country because right now those in power are allied to iran and some opposition politicians have been riding the wave of popular anger and those politicians are allied with the pro western camp so it is a very serious political crisis we've seen a similar crisis like this in the past lebanon has been to the brink on more than once ok sion but they've pulled back but the question is can a compromise be reached we're expected to hear from the secretary general of hezbollah on friday it will be his 3rd speech really. since the start of this
9:08 pm
protest movement 13 days ago what is he going to say is he going to try to calm the streets or is he going to make an announcement that will instigate even more anger right now hezbollah and its partners really have lost a lot of support in the streets especially when their supporters are seen attacking peaceful protesters who are camped out in the streets across the country ok's in a hose or thank you for that update from beirut so let's take a closer look at lebanon's current political system the country is governed by a power sharing agreement known as the tie if accords it was designed after the end of the civil war to redistribute power and the number of seats in parliament is equally split between christians and muslims the president's must be a christian and the parliament speaker a shop the prime minister must be sunni and the current system has been challenged in recent weeks by hundreds of thousands of protesters who say it's riddled with corruption let's bring in. a senior political analyst is joining us from london
9:09 pm
what are the challenges that the protesters face specifically when it comes to the call of dismantling the top if a corps dismantling the sectarian system that lebanon has lived through for the past 30 years. it's just exactly that it's a tall order the country has survived in some mode or sectarian division of labor or or or or struggle or competition or war for some of a century and more so mother lebannon certainly after the war you know has come together as a unity or affect the ration of sects more than it is as the common interest of citizens and after 2005 this became more ingrained as a certain unity if you were among the elites off sects have basically divided the
9:10 pm
pie among them called lebannon well lebanon now is hugely indebted so those who divided the pie among them before are now sharing the debt and hence there's a lot of people are dissatisfied because even nepotism and corruption no longer trickles down and a lot of lebanese in fact most lebanese are really not feeling in any which way. a fair treatment if you will by the government or the economy now lebanese as we all know them are street smart they are business smart they are culture smart but they certainly have not been politically smart and that's why the very limited and very enter virt way in which they tried to share power for a decade or $23.00 has basically come to an end as the lebanese now reject that system in favor for something more open more liberal and more democratic yeah and
9:11 pm
how significant is it that we've seen these protesters come out on to the streets under the the one flag the lebanese flog rather than scenes we've seen in the past where people come out according to their political affiliations. it it is it is very important and that in by itself is a huge victory for lebanon and for those in the streets that in and by itself is a huge progress for the lebanese and that in and by itself will remain a corner store for whatever is going to come forward whether in its not in the short term certainly on the long term and that's in and by itself is a message that those people in the streets are not against any one particular party they are not against hezbollah and they are not against the president or the prime minister per se they are against the system and they are against the sectarian elites that try to exploit the system for their own interests and why that's why
9:12 pm
the streets has said once and again we are not targeting any which one we are targeting or we think all of them are responsible and all of them needs to come clean and that's why the solution for lebanon today needs to be either those sectarian elites admits and recognize their responsibility and try to move towards something better or they eventually will have to be at a place by something but they're something that the suits insists on our item i want to thank you for your analysis from london. well plenty more ahead on the al-jazeera news hour including a white house official who was on the controversial phone call between donald trump and ukraine's president testifies before congress. the testers are back on the streets of iraq after a night of violent demonstrations against the government and in sports south
9:13 pm
africa's coach says england have the upper hand heading into saturday's world cup final. but 1st russia's defense minister says the withdrawal of kurdish forces from northeast syria has been completed the deadline for kurds to leave areas along turkey's border in northern syria ended at 15 g.m.t. on tuesday turkey stopped its military campaign last week after reaching a deal with russia under the agreement kurdish forces were ordered to move 30 kilometers away from the turkish border or russian hunter and his forces said they'd start joint patrols on the syrian side of the border right after the deadline and the delegation from moscow is in turkey for talks on the border patrol operation the united nations special envoy for syria is expected to meet foreign ministers from turkey russia and iran in geneva the meeting comes ahead of the official launch of syria's 1st constitutional committee on wednesday house about
9:14 pm
about is joining us from near the turkey syria border so that that the deadline has expired hashim. and the russians conducting their joint patrol operations as they said they would be doing. so those patrols are underway the. president was up to you said a while ago that it was informed by the russians that the stiff was pulled from the so cold. but. it's. turkey's just going to further confirm that by the joint patrols in the coming days that's where they will continue cutting out those joint patrols with the russians in those areas. all the way to. bitch. and also in the east of the border with iraq if that happens is going to be
9:15 pm
a major victory for turkey because he has been insisting for many years all the need to implement that safe zone to prevent the white pizzey which is the own faction of the s.t.r. from expand the influence in the region but i have to say this is a very complex political situation that could be shifting any time it remains to be seen whether the s.d.f. for example have pulled out from. andrew fat and cold bonnie in the past they have been saying that those were their strongholds and that they would never put out from those areas so i think it will take some time in the coming days to establish whether that withdrawal was complete we've heard from the i.d.f. also saying that the outcome we drawing is that they have completed that we draw the syrian national army she's the opposition rebel group backed by turkey has been questioning that assessment saying basically they believe some of the fighters are still positioned in different parts in the so-called safe zone. ok i asked him
9:16 pm
about it with an update thank you. now a top u.s. government official says he raised concerns twice over president donald trump's efforts to have ukraine investigate democratic politicians alexander van min the director of european affairs at the national security council is defying trump on testifying in the impeachment inquiry then man says he heard president volunteer zelinsky to investigate former vice president joe biden on his business dealings in ukraine so in a statement that he read to the hearing he said i was concerned by the cole i did not think it was proper to demand that a foreign governments investigate a u.s. citizen i was worried about the implications for the u.s. government support of ukraine i realize that if you crane pursued an investigation into the bidens. it would likely be interpreted as a partisan play which would undoubtedly results in ukraine losing the bipartisan
9:17 pm
support it has thus far maintains this with all undermine u.s. national security let's bring in hyde is ok joining us from capitol hill so what else are they hearing from. well during he is the 1st current white house employee that is complying with the can crash congressional subpoena to appear in the fact that then minutes here on capitol hill testifying behind closed doors today means that he is directly in defiance of a white house counsel order for the government employees to ignore this impeachment inquiry and it's very interesting he has been is still an active duty army colonel so he is testifying at this moment against his own commander in chief president trump of course president of the united states and what he's telling congressional investigators is that he was so concerned by that call you just mention that he
9:18 pm
raised the alarm to the national security council's attorney immediately after the call but that it wasn't the 1st time that he witnessed. something that greatly caused his alarm because prior to the phone call there was a meeting at the white house between trump's advisers and a visiting ukrainian official and then says in his opening statement that it was during that meeting that gordon song lynn who is the u.s. ambassador to the e.u. in a close trump supporter said at that meeting that they wanted ukraine to deliver on the investigation of joe biden that directly contradicts with saul and himself has been testifying in previous days before these impeachment inquiry saying that biden was never a factor so now best to gator's really have to weigh these 2 witnesses words against each other because they do directly contradict but if you believe when been a saying and that has been supported by other witnesses in this inquiry it does
9:19 pm
appear that this foreign pol this shadow policy of the us dealings with ukraine was unfolding well before this call happened during the call and afterwards in which democrats accuse the president aided by his personal attorney in trying to pursue these investigations for the president's own personal good and at the detriment of us national security is a cluster thank you well britain could be heading towards its 1st december election in nearly a century after the opposition labor party backed government plans for the early vote for more on this let's cross to lawrence to learn our european protests. that's right there in that boris johnson called the election in the hopes of gaining a majority in parliament he wants it to break the political deadlock of the brics it johnson was hoping to hold a vote on december the 12th and debating a labor party proposal for december the 9th comes as the e.u. has formally granted britain
9:20 pm
a further delay to the brics it deadline extending it after 3 months. joins us live from westminster needs the election though is making its way through parliament now what are the chances of it being passed. well absolutely reluctant to say it but it's looking increasingly likely that it will be passed in some form or another the detail of the moment really is all over the date as to when the election could well take place the government wanted to take place in december the 12th at the moment the bill is reach what's known as the committee stage where an amendment has been brought forward by the opposition labor party they want to take place on december the 9th for various different reasons one of them being that they feel that students will be back home from university so won't be able to vote has been pointed out that many students are actually registered at their home addresses rather than their university addresses you know the scottish national party and the liberal democrats also wanted it to be on the 9th of december for different reasons largely just of the number of days potentially available to boris johnson to avoid
9:21 pm
him but possibly bringing his withdrawal agreement back before parliament for another go but that's something the government has promised it won't do however levels of trust here westminster very low at the moment we may well see before the ninety's through a compromise though on behalf of the government they have suggested that the election could take place on something of a sliding scale possibly the possibly the 10th or 11th or so it's you say it with thursday but they most certainly are against the idea of holding it on the 9th they say not enough time will be available to pass an important bill about northern islands budget this week because of course if the election does happen on the 9th parliament will be have to be parochial one minute past midnight this thursday so very soon indeed and what about john why has he gone down the sceptical route to try again for an hour from now on election. yeah there so it must all seem very bewildering for people looking in from the outside world is all about parliamentary
9:22 pm
arithmetic if every single opposition m.p. voted against the government will be $45.00 votes short of a majority we know that his bricks it bill is has hit a wall in parliament he's hoping that an election will essentially liberate british politics will help we can figure politics and it will essentially end up being something of a referendum not only on his leadership on the conservative party but on brics it's as well he could be confident that he can get the support needed by putting it back to the people in the form of a general election but it is of course very risky not only for the conservatives but for the labor party as well who also came out this afternoon agreeing to go ahead with the possibility of a december election the labor party don't doing very well in the polls the conservative party are also being i very warily on the sidelines by the newly formed brics a party so servery finally let's not forget the what boris johnson essentially promising here is an election before delivering on his promise of seeing breaks it
9:23 pm
done that may annoy and irritate some hardline breck's and t. is who may well be willing now to vote for the brics a party that did very well in european elections so risky or round for all parties thank you very much a public inquiry says they were great failings by london's fire gate its response to a deadly blaze at an apartment block and 2017 reporters found that fewer people would have died if grenfell town had been evacuated fast to 72 people were killed in the disaster as more. it's almost 2 and a half years since firefighters battled through the night to control the flames that engulfed ground felled tower in west london $72.00 residents including 19 children died that night many of them told to remain inside their apartments phase one of an independent public inquiry has called into question that so-called
9:24 pm
stay put order and found that the london fire brigade readiness for a high rise blaze like grunfeld was gravely inadequate fewer people would have died but for that said retired judge so martin moore pick who led the inquiry local community representatives say the inquiry doesn't tell the full story. for this community we are very well aware of the history and the context in which that fire occurred you know the context of the now prime minister who was then mayor making cuts to fire services where they lost 10000 firefighters 10 stations were closed the cuts in resourcing within the fire service the grand design asked it was a blight on the premiership of to resume a she was accused of lacking empathy when she came here and failed to meet directly with residents and survivors it's now landed and comfortably in the lap of her
9:25 pm
successor boris johnson wants in overall charge as mayor of the london fire brigade and soon to be fighting an election. and there are deep concerns that the lessons of the north be learned you know kensington and chelsea council itself has not punishment all of these buildings around every single one of them there is not one of them that doesn't have serious fire safety defects still in there. and nothing's been done about them the main trouble. is the number of buildings we have with a single staircase so you've got to tell block one the staircase if there is used for immediate evacuation people will double in those cases anyway because it's over trailed it phase 2 of the inquiry next year we'll look at the wider causes of the fire the decisions taken about the buildings renovation fire safety measures the
9:26 pm
combustible external padding all contributed to making the fire so deadly the fire brigades say residents may well have failed in its preparedness and response but the real culprits they feel have yet to be named jonah how al-jazeera. it traded troops and russian backed separatists have started to withdraw from a key front line area in eastern ukraine both sides have confirmed a miniature pullout is underway in the town observatory in new hance cregan and will be followed by another in the city of petrofsky the withdrawal is seen as the final step for him before leaders of ukraine russia france and germany meet to discuss a peace plan to end the 5 year conflict which has killed more than 13000 people. so it's an interesting last one a 10th of its classes in just the last 5 years that's what a meeting of scientists in geneva has been told by the countries have affairs minister mountain sources supply about half of all the world's drinking water but

the al-jazeera news hour what do you make of the c.e.o.'s testimony. and emotional. by sitting. with all that is the. they have to know about being happy about it so bad. they had a. defensible what did he mean by that. but the fact that they had i mean one sense. then wait he's right in the face by a guy. by the. creative writer on all mistakes in their cross line manuals. we kept secret which never ever will. and.
9:34 pm
we find it while they that. they should not reach out with coal mines. to the c.e.o. and the testimony said that the company has now made multiple changes to the anti stole system which investigation suggest played a role in both of the crashes so does that restore your faith in boeing at all. no really i think. you're seeing a very public relations campaign. this is probably the single biggest mistake any across many find. that i can remember. for them to think that you can make some modification and then just move on i think we find reshuffling will senators though move on because we know that they've been critical of the regulatory process and what they're saying in fact in that testimony is that
9:35 pm
there was too much quote unquote coziness between the firm and the f.a.a. the federal aviation administration meaning that there are some lax oversight going on so does the f.a.a. share part of the blame here. without doubt i mean i've always had a credit of the everybody. with the industry as being the credit in the u.k. and europe. and there is a quite yes i mean by all. this is all about how i think all and. to allow a manufactured from our. lives so what would you like to see as a former pilot what are you looking to see here. well i think there should be terrorists out we are all going to pay for a responsible. you know i'm a my this is
