12:02 am
celebrating in the streets there calling this a victory welcoming a welcome 1st step this is what they have been demanding for the past 13 days demanding a new government is formed a government made up of technocrats which are not or ministers who are not allied to any political party in order to. much needed reforms to fix the economy so people are you know satisfied with this move but the biggest question is what will the prime minister has given his resignation to the president the president has responded he is expected to respond tomorrow accept the resignation of more is or no will. be found but clearly the message from the ruling alliance has so far been you're not going to be able to topple us from the streets if you want to topple us you can only do that using constitutional tools but now the protesters are planning to open roads they've been blocking roads not just in the lebanese capital but
12:03 am
across the country the past 13 days now they say they will lift those roadblocks and they will confine street action to. outside government institutions and to some squares because they realize how dangerous it is a staying on the streets. 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 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 of i have tried during this period to find a way 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 reached
12:04 am
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. is among a number of groups backing the government. the neighbors there are. 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 that 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 it's because. there are celebrations in the streets how did his resignation is seen as a welcome 1st step but what protestors are asking for is radical change early elections and an end to political sectarianism easier said that the question is
12:05 am
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 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 maybe 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
12:06 am
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. beirut. many of the protests is also want to tear down lebanon's sectarian political system saying it helps corrupt politicians cling to power by keeping the country divided under the. system if said hurry his resignation is accepted only another sunni muslim can take his place similarly the president has to be a christian and the parliamentary speaker a shia parliament itself is evenly divided between christians and muslims with each side getting 64 seats there's a further divided so that all 18 of lebanon's religious sects are represented the system is designed to prevent lebanon from sliding back into civil war it was brokered by saudi arabia just over 30 years ago well joining me now from beirut is the unease filmmaker and activist lucian bush really thank you very much for being with us i want to come back to the system in lebanon in
12:07 am
a moment but 1st what is the reaction amongst most to the protests and your reaction indeed to the resignation of hariri. i think it's a victory for us as people who have been in the seats for 13 days and we have demanded this from the 1st day of course it's because of the corruption of the of course it's because of so many other things but at the same time what is the most crucial thing is that the people in the most of them the majority of the people feel they are not represented in power and governments who are in the. so and for that reason. the people in but we need to go back to the people in an early election so as the people have the right to reform the power 'd and they have new people. to take the country forward because the people that are. unfortunately so corrupt that the we have. so many lies before and that we don't
12:08 am
have any trust in them in just on that day i mean do you do you see visit another election under the existing system because a lot of the protests a seem to want the whole system to be torn up when we were describing it just now the kind of very carefully balanced political system that gives power to various different factions or what if you don't do it under that system what do you envisage. what we want is the application of the constitution our constitution actually says that we are in a temporary state today which is the state where we are going towards. going into us going outside of the confessional system this is part of the constitution this is supposedly only temporary that was 1902 it was supposed to be different in 1906 but it never happened there was no. what it is that supposed to be the authority that when certain
12:09 am
a committee that will change the perception of the events people concerning sectarianism and its relationship to politics and this to happen because the people of color don't have this advantage of making it happen because they give a blank check that in system they are the ready. system and they will never accept that the system to fall into something much more inclusive much more. but to support the for the many people and there's already been some violent protests will have wind could you degenerate further. well of course the violence has been done from the people in power and from thugs. sent by the people in power to intimidate them state those who are only demanding for basic rights for everybody after all what your demand for and make the solution will ultimately have everybody
12:10 am
in the to have better access to services but that access to basic rights it's ready something that everybody would benefit from even the people that today but actually attacking protesters they will be also benefiting from evolving the current system that because you couldn't sustain not working it has collapsed in many ways and it has collapsed on us the people it has collapsed economically let's even even in terms of of. ecology political issues 'd less when we had the fires in lebanon we have a very big scandal where even the basic material used i needed to do. to fight the fires were not there because of court action this is something that in any other country would have stopped and the government. took us through certain days and i think the government should have stepped down the 2nd day when they got stuck and him any thank you very much to fail thought thank you thank you. well

s.d.f. on the outskirts of i know he said and then bitch. in the meantime as the s.d.f. fighters pull out syrian government troops are redeploying taken over more territory. you know we just saw. with that about our redeployment will continue until we reach the iraqi border god willing we will rescue people from the turkish invasion and terrorist groups. but all the ground it's russia and turkey the top the upper hand the support rival groups in syria but bad as over the last few years to set aside their differences and broker a deal to end the syrian conflict. turkey wants to establish observation post in the safe zone warning that any push by the syrian government of the yesteryear to move to the area will be met by force possible by the us is iraq going to alter his border with syria. the kurdish led syrian democratic forces say they played
12:18 am
a key role in tracking down isolator baghdadi who was killed on saturday the s.d.f. say they placed a spy in baghdad he's in a circle they stole a pair of his underpants which were then d.n.a. tested to prove his identity u.s. president donald trump downplayed the role of kurdish forces in the raid but s.t.'s officials say they helped to guide us troops to baghdad is syrian hideout they isolated detonated a suicide vest as u.s. forces approached killing himself and 3 of his children i mean all trump has tweeted saying the man who was meant to replace baghdadi has also been killed by u.s. troops it doesn't specify who it is but says the man would have most likely taken the top spot in i saw with the u.s. and a top kurdish official and earlier confirmed that baghdad his spokesman and right hand man i will house and 100 year was killed on sunday in a separate rage in the northern syrian village of beda. a
12:19 am
top u.s. government official says he raised concerns twice over the president's efforts to pressure ukraine to investigate a political rival alexander been men has been testifying as part of the impeachment inquiry into donald trump why did your castro report from washington. alexander venom an is a u.s. army colonel hornet iraq veteran and the 1st impeachment witness with 1st hand knowledge of the july phone call between president trump and the ukrainian president volodymyr zelinsky then man was among the white house staff listening when trump said to the ukrainian leader i would like you to do west a favor publicly investigate trumps political rival joe biden and a company called charisma that employed by tin son i was concerned by the call binman said in his written testimony i did not think it was proper to demand that a foreign government investigate a us citizen i was worried about the implications for the us government support of
12:20 am
ukraine i realized that if ukraine pursued an investigation into the bidens and it would likely be interpreted as a partisan play which would undoubtedly result in ukraine losing the bipartisan support it has thus far maintained this would all undermine u.s. national security the newly elected selenski was hoping to schedule a visit to the white house and ukraine was waiting for u.s. military aid needed to fend off russia but trump temporarily withheld the aid as his advisors continued to push ukraine to investigate the democrats and biden. this is about the united states constitution this is about the rule of law this is about national security this is about abuse of power this is about the fact that the president betrayed his oath of office and the american people trump has denied wrongdoing and attack the credibility of witnesses who cooperated with the inquiry
12:21 am
that earned a rare rebuke from a fellow republican i think that we need to show that we are better than that as a nation their patriotism their love of country we're talking about decorated veterans who have served this nation who put their lives on the line and it is shameful to question their patriotism their loss. this nation house democrats plan to vote on thursday to formally authorize this impeachment inquiry even though it has been underway for several weeks so why do the vote now democrats say it's to deflate the republican argument that this inquiry lacks legitimacy because it was never voted upon and are to potentially open these closed door impeachment proceedings to the public heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington ukrainian troops and russian backed separatists have started to withdraw from a key frontline area in eastern ukraine both sides have confirmed a military pullout is underway in the town of the last say into one screen and will

be followed by another in the city of detroit the withdrawal is seen as the final step before the leaders of ukraine russia france and germany meet to discuss a peace plan to end the 5 year conflict which has killed with $13000.00 people. britain is set to go to the polls on december the 12th after prime minister boris johnson won support from opposition parties for an early vote. we are used to the right order the search page the nose to the left 20 so the o.e.c.d. the have. drawn some called election in an effort to gain a majority in parliament and break the political deadlock of a brics it the vote must still be approved by the house of lords earlier the e.u. formally granted britain a 3rd delay to the brics it deadline extending it by 3 months from the barker joins
12:23 am
us live from westminster. and got what he wanted what happens next. he has got it what he wanted but only 4th time lucky of course the election that he was after one on december the 12th will now go ahead after an overwhelming number of m.p.'s backed it there have been some wrangling some back and forth between the government and opposition parties about whether it should be held on december the 9th which is exactly what the opposition labor leader jeremy corbyn wanted what johnson is essentially trying to do is to reconfigure british politics to readjust the balance of power in the hope of essentially getting his withdrawal agreement his vision for brakes it through parliament as soon as he possibly can but it is very risky for the government is very risky too for opposition parties including the labor party that hasn't been doing particularly well in the polls but earlier on today they did turn around and say that they would now back this snap election so we're only a matter of weeks away and for more on what the conservative party are up to next
12:24 am
but probably more importantly in terms of the opposition what the labor party are up to next i'm now joined by kevin craig who's a political lobbyist and media relations expert and labor party insider now we know that the boys johnson immediately after this vote went to his backbench is the 1922 committee to rally the troops what is jeremy corbin's next move well he this evening has come out very quickly with a statement saying that he's looking forward to launching the largest mass participation election campaign ever seen in this country the labor party's been very busy today there was a conference call for all of its candidates at the next election where the party they had for members the shadow cabinet said we're going to have the fight of our lives and jamie colby is actually in recent weeks become a lot more energized at the thought of going out there campaigning because that is what he does very very well and it's true it's a huge risk for the labor party but after getting reassurances from the european union the labor party could no longer risk being seen by the public as being scared
12:25 am
of a general election so this is an election full of. more risk than i've seen in my lifetime 25 years campaigning and standing for office the labor party i've never known an election so risky for the 2 main parties but it's really kicked off in style today and one of the biggest criticisms leveled at jeremy corbyn is that he's hazy on breaks in something that boris johnson certainly isn't he's got a clear withdrawal agreement that's been gathering pace and support and speed in parliament he feels that he now has the backing of the country as well surely the conservative party have this in the back they have no election in the bag we will remember in this country but 2 years ago when the then prime minister trees in may started in the election over 20 points ahead in the polls i think we've all but the polls don't really mean anything and it's highly likely that conservative and the labor party's are going to be really facing each other in the key contests in this election and that's going to depend on knocking on doors it's going to depend on
12:26 am
money the right candidates but it's definitely not over before it started and the prime minister and corbin if i said that they know this is full of risk one of them will not be leading their party on friday the 13th of december 1 of the biggest criticisms also. directed at the labor party repeatedly it is is that it's a hard left party amongst us policy that doesn't stand up for the middle classes in the country most certainly doesn't in any way sympathise with people who may have voted to leave the european union what do labor supporters say to them the policy i've been involved in some big selection contests for candidates in recent weeks and the labor policy is choosing across the country a really healthy mix of people on the traditional left who were very supportive jeremy colvin at the start i mean in london amazing working class black female can dislike florence i show me who really represent not middle england philosophy this very outward looking and encompassing of many different strains of thought so i
12:27 am
don't think that characterization of labor's is fair i understand why some. if you do it it's not what i'm seeing at the moment across the country in the selections it's a really mixed all encompassing labor policy and i'm quite optimistic that it might pull off another surprise come great thank you very much well just to repeat boris johnson is now fine at the starting pistol on the next general election the 3rd in 5 years the question is whether or not on friday the 13th of december the day after the election the country will be any clearer about what its political future will be any clearer on the future breaks it. thank you very much indeed public inquiry says they were grave failings by london's fire brigade and its response to a deadly blaze at an apartment block in 2017 efficient reporters found that few people would have died if grenfell tower had been evacuated fast to 72 people died in the disaster china has more. it's almost 2 and

12:30 am
a block one the staircase if there is used free media evacuation people will go in the 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 combustible external cladding all contributed to making the fire so deadly the fire brigade 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 london. there's much more to come this hour war tear gas and water cannon in chile on the 12th day in a row of protests despite monday's cabinet reshuffle. the mounting piles of plastic that are choking one of africa's fastest growing cities. on a sport the turkish diver who tried to swim 100 metres with one breath find out if

and money top stories here. lebanon's prime minister has offered his resignation saying he's reached a dead end in dealing with the demonstrations that have paralyze the country he made the announcement shortly after his boss supporters tore through a protest camp in beirut torching tents and chasing away demonstrators. tens of thousands of people have demonstrated in iraq spurred on by events in lebanon and reports of security forces shooting dead protesters in karbala overnight. and russia says. kurdish led forces have withdrawn from a border zone in northeast syria ahead of a deadline they were set turkey says it will eliminate any y.p. g. fighters it finds in a planned safe city. the c.e.o. of boeing has admitted to a u.s. congressional hearing mistakes were made with its $77.00 max jet which led to 2 deadly crashes on the plane's worldwide grounding that is merely acknowledged errors in the jet software and failures to give pilots enough information on the

12:37 am
and every day that drives us to improve the safety of our airplanes and our industry. and that will never stop beyond that molly bird did not agree to major changes in regulation and he stuck to his talking points one of the issues there is that the plane is often self certified various aspects of it are certified by boeing and not by regulators that plane was considered an upgrade of a previous 737 model from the 1960 s. and therefore didn't undergo the same rigorous certification process the new plane would have undergone all of this leaves boy with some significant problems the company has had to set aside $4900000000.00 to compensate airlines it is not producing that plane losing market share to airbus industry and dennis miller himself has been demoted he was chairman and c.e.o. of the company the company has now made him just c.e.o.
