lebanon's prime minister submit his resignation saying he's hit a dead end in trying to stop the mass protests against the ruling elite. this after scuffles broke out between hizbollah supporters and protesters in beirut . and tell you this is al jazeera live from london also coming up russia says kurdish forces have completed their withdrawal from a strip of land on the syrian turkish border ahead of the deadline they were set last. we are sorry deeply and truly sorry boeing

see you admit mistakes were made with it 737 max jet as he's questioned by congress over 2 deadly crashes. and britain's prime minister moves a big step closer to getting the december election he hopes will break the breck 6 deadlock. and it will begin in lebanon where prime minister saad hariri has submitted his resignation to the president after 13 days of anti-government protests i reread says he's reached a dead end in dealing with the unprecedented demonstrations and violence that have paralyzed the country and of course live now to santa who's in beirut so what's the reaction been among the protesters to harry's resignation. well as you could imagine people are celebrating they're welcoming this as

a 1st step like you mentioned 13 days of protests these protesters they've been blocking roads not just. across the country piling pressure on the government to resign now the prime minister submitted his resignation to the president so far the president has not reacted we're expecting him to react tomorrow on whether or not he's going to accept this resignation but what is clear. his allies in governments will agree to form a technocrat government a government where ministers are not allied to any political party and this is what people here happen to there say we want early elections we want an end to this political sectarian system in the country but at the end of the day those in power are clinging to power their message has been no you cannot topple us from the street if you want to topple us it has to be through constitutional. understand now is that the protests they have decided to move in in many ways stop blocking roads

and just to confine this street action to squares or areas outside government institutions because they realize how dangerous it is to remain in the streets. 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 government demonstrators who have been in the streets for almost 2 weeks demanding the ruling elite leaves office the prime minister sagal how d.d. has now had that 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 of 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 dangerous today i will not hide from you i reached

a dead end it is time for us to have a big shock to face the crisis. the crisis is threatening civil peace the protest movement doesn't enjoy the support of the entire country has been law is among a number of groups backing the government i owe the champ today 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 revolution 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 sport 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 well as the president michel aoun and has already had ms. brown but still 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 he may be hoping his decision to resign will pressure his coalition partners to make concessions a hezbollah led government needs political cover from someone like heidi 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 levanon has been here before and like in the past it is the security of the

country which is facing the biggest risk. so isn't it from what you're suggesting move could be a bit of a gamble. yes possibly a negotiating tactic hoping that his partners in government we could he calls them partners but they're really not allies. to the pressure from the streets and agree to create a technocrat government but then again we have to wait to see whether the people on the streets will accept to be reappointed as the country's next prime minister because what they have been chanting the past 30 days really is all of them nobody is excluded they're all involved in corruption there this is what people here have been saying but you know it was that the ruling alliance really has lost a lot of support in the streets in the past 13 days the very fact that you see supporters of hezbollah beating up post testers who are really peacefully

demonstrating and words coming from hezbollah secretary general hossam using the people here of being linked to foreign embassies or receiving funds from foreign embassies it really angered the street so it's going to be very difficult for the ruling alliance really to regain the support that they have lost and it's not just not how did he knows that he gives the hezbollah led alliance political cover hezbollah are already facing sanctions from the u.s. government for its links with iran and the iranian revolutionary guards so if hezbollah appoints a prime minister who's close to the movement then the government could be sanctioned by the united states so there are very very difficult positions right now for a difficult situation i'm sorry for hezbollah we understand that the secretary general hossam the seller will be speaking on friday so we have to wait to see whether or not he's going to try to absorb this crisis try to win over the streets or whether or not this crisis could escalate even further. senator thank you very

much indeed. turkey's president says tens of thousands of kurdish led forces have withdrawn from the border zone in northeast syria. to one says russian officials told him the withdrawal was complete ahead of a deadline they'd been set turkey poorest its military campaign in syria earlier this month after 1st reaching a deal with the u.s. and then with russia on the russian agreement kurdish forces were ordered to move away from the turkish border by 15 g.m.t. on tuesday russian and turkish forces say they are allowed to start joint patrols to create a safe path for syrian refugees to return. to goods. we want to finish the process we started the operation priests bring the ceasefire we made with the u.s. and the deal we made with russia are completed with holding talks with the russian

happens is definitely going to be a major victory for turkey which has been for many use calling for the need to implement and establish a safe zone and prevent the fighters from further expanding in that influence on the border with turkey. and what to take is next may when it comes to this time issue into the say. the next move would be to establish observation posts in the safe zone so basically you're talking about all the way from jealous to maliki here on the border with iraq and they want to ensure that the syrian government is not going to take advantage of the of the gap created by the other vacuum created by the withdrawal of the fighters to redeploy at the same time they want to ensure that the s.d.f. are not going to come back to the areas they controlled in the past but this is going to be done in cooperation with the russian government turkey and russia back

rival groups in syria however they have been trying over the last 2 years to set aside their differences and negotiate a settlement of the crisis in syria this could also be conducive to further partnership between the russians and the turks. to work of the details of a peaceful political solution to the conflict in syria particularly in the oval part of the country that includes also the province of it which is the last remaining stronghold for the syrian rebels in the country. thank you very much indeed. the kurdish led syrian democratic forces say they played a key role in tracking down isolated abu bakar baghdadi who was killed on saturday the s.d.f. say they placed a spy you know by daddy's in a circle they stole a pair of his underpants which were then d.n.a. tested to prove his identity he was president donald trump downplayed the role of kurdish forces in the raid but s.t.'s officials say they helped to guide us troops

of the detail is all about the the date certain moment but let me explain exactly what's going on just to give you a clear idea about the passage of this bill through parliament has passed its 1st and 2nd meeting is now currently in what's known as the committee stage where an amendment to the bill is being suggested by the opposition labor leader jeremy corbyn who says that he wants to see the election take place on december 9th rather than the 12 by committee stage is roughly about halfway through we will see a final vote shortly before the evening is through and then the stages here in the commons will be over and done with it then needs to go to the upper house the house of lords before being finally ratified the reason why there's a difference of opinion on dates is largely down to war the political parties are particularly worried or keen to see the opposition labor party who would raise some concerns that many students that make up a lot of their support base would be home from university unable to vote but it has

been pointed out that many students are actually register their home addresses rather than university the small old position parties the liberal democrats the scottish national party are also keen on seeing the election take place on the 9th of december to but for other reasons they want to starve the number of days available for the government to try and possibly bring its withdrawal agreement before parliament for another go the government's promise that it won't do that but trust here at westminster is somewhat lacking at the moment so we may see though a compromise between the government and opposition parties before the evening is through the government has hinted at a sliding scale of dates possibly offering the 10 for the 11th of december as an alternative the government has said that there are practical implications for having it on the 9th on a monday extra costs that made it into the time needed to discuss an important bill related to northern ireland's bunch of the needs to be decided this week in short if it needs to be to go ahead on the 9th of december they need to get it done

before the end of the week because parliament will need to be suspended one minute past midnight on friday morning not much time at all and why has the prime minister changed. it was all about poetry arithmetic i mean let's not forget you know 3 years into the breaks of debate boris johnson's withdrawal agreement is stuck in parliament if every opposition m.p. votes against the government will be 45 votes short of a majority hopes that by putting it back to the people in the form of a general election that will be able to swing the votes in his favor but of course it's a bit of a gamble isn't it because what exists initially doing is offering an election before he's on his promise of delivering bricks and there are going to be those out there to potentially punish the government by voting for the newly formed brics it party and its leader nigel for arduous the name suggests are willing to promise and deliver on one thing leaving the european union is potentially risky also for the opposition labor party they're not doing particularly well in the polls the liberal

democrats and the s.n.p. could well capitalize on it both of them are pro e.u. pro remain parties but right now it's very difficult to see how any one of the main parties can be an outright rinna as you know british politics is very difficult to predict and having an election is no easy. thank you very much a top u.s. government official says he raised concerns twice and the president donald trump's efforts to pressure ukraine to investigate a political rival alexander of inman they director of european affairs at the national security council has been testifying as part of the impeachment inquiry into donald trump then had been authorized to listen in on the phone call between trump and his ukrainian counterpart he says he considered the president's request so damaging to american interests that he reported it to superior how does your question has more from washington d.c. . then is a member of the national security council the expert on ukrainian affairs and he is

an important witness in this impeachment inquiry because he is the 1st who was actually on the phone calls listen then when donald trump spoke with the leader of ukraine in july and it is that phone call that launched this impeachment inquiry in the 1st place trump asked of a lot of years olinsky the president of ukraine during that call to launch an investigation into democrats and then to buy into joe biden who is one of trans political adversaries in the united states elvin that the witness who is testifying behind closed doors today we obtained his opening statements and in it he says i was concerned by the call it i did not think it was proper to demand that a foreign government investigate a u.s. citizen i was worried about the implications for the u.s. government support of ukraine i realize that if you queen pursued an investigation into the bidens and barisan it would likely be interpreted as a partisan play which would undoubtedly result in ukraine losing the bipartisan

support it had thus far maintained this would all undermine u.s. national security and at the time that trump was on this phone call with the president of ukraine trump was withholding close to $400000000.00 of u.s. security aid that was supposed to help ukraine ward off aggression from russia and that is why the men and other national security experts have come forward as part of this impeachment inquiry say that the president's demand for something for his personal gain was endangering u.s. national security and in danger in an ally. see boeing has admitted to a u.s. congressional hearing that mistakes were made with its 737 max jet which led to 2 deadly crashes and the plane's worldwide grounding that is made in book of knowledge to arras in the jet software and fails to give pilots enough information on the stall prevention system he also apologized to the victims' families who sat
