this is al jazeera live from coming up. after the deadline for kurdish withdrawal from syria turkey and russia must now in force a say so. the u.k. prime minister gets his wish for an early election and hopes it will break the praxis deadlock i use to the right. the. protesters continue to fill the streets in bolivia as anger mounts over the reelection of the president. lebanon's president michel aoun is expected to issue a statement on the prime minister's resignation be handed in his notice on tuesday after weeks of nationwide protests highly says he has reached a dead end in dealing with the unprecedented demonstrations and violence that of power lies the country so hold the 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 government demonstrators who have been in the streets for almost 2 weeks demanding the ruling elite leaves office the prime minister saddam 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 relation 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 dangers 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 they chant the name of their leader.

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 the definitely some people try to take advantage of this 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 support 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 than 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. has already had ms. brown to see him 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 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 is that of. beirut. let's bring in stephanie deca now she joins us live from beirut. stephanie what i.

you've got a bit of action going on behind you things heating up again. now of. course. all of the a lot of the action that just happened was basically you had a couple of protesters that lay down on the streets they were negotiating with the security forces and then now they stood up they sang the national anthem and they moved away saying that they made their point the fact that they're not happy with opening the road you can see the army is here other security forces are here on the ground it was a peaceful negotiation this is something that the army has tried to maintain throughout these 2 weeks yes there have been some scuffles but in general they have stood with the people and protected the people when it came to this so this is the main throughfare is the main highway in the capital beirut is putting a lot of pressure on other civilians who wanted to move around wanted to go to work

it was causing the street to boil over this. so yesterday supporters of a mother who has been the trash was with protesters on the other side of the street so not everyone is happy about this i mean some of the protesters are saying that this is basically us giving in to the government we haven't achieved a hard time on the scale in the sense that they want one of them to resign. but certainly this is a turning point to a hearing that potentially banks and schools will reopen tomorrow it's been 2 weeks that this country has come to pretty much just and pretty much just that so badly actually that we had better than our package the other day how are you. what is your reaction then just jump in there in the prime minister's to town we were opening the road because we need to give certain 3 to find the changes the system for the roads. step by step me we're giving the military has asked us to open the roads and they've been protecting. and saving us really nicely for the

past few days we could have made that yesterday in front of this. crew so what happened so we need to respect and give them a day to 72 hours per for creating what we're going to request and at this point i for us to rest as well i couldn't work today i went down just to your voice is still just to try to deal with this and finish up because we need to be aligned enough for people who trying to take a decision for those who have been loosened they are lonely there's still an ungraceful trying to understand how to deal with this and the most we spent working on. this group to your reaction to the prime minister resigning or that's just a little little little at this moment piece of the cake that's it doesn't mean anything to me i couldn't smile i couldn't dance it's just the 1st step is just the 1st step what is it that you want to see improved i want to have an ounce of theory in government i want to have on my right that i have all the money that they took back to the country to pay the debt and to make it better. their life think you

great bumping into you but. that was a coincidence not me so anyway this is this is where we're at now difficult political decisions my add we're still waiting to hear from president michel aoun what kind of transitional government is it going to look like can the politicians agree and then are the protesters going to agree on that we're being moved away because again the roads are open so why are they that was but i think a lot of phoenician still remain on knots or something of questions you know they had a really clear question at the beginning which was this government should resign now the government step down do they have some very specific demands other than you know we want the country to improve we want an end to corruption which are very very broad sort of goals. yes yes. they do they have a specific time lot of time while not timeline demands of peace a 2nd phase what they want is to have a transitional body to govern this country until new elections but that

transitional body they want to be made up of what they call technocrats so people that are not affiliated with any of those major parties that have been in control of this country when it comes to politics when it comes to security when it comes to business when it comes to infrastructure over the past couple of decades then they say they want a change to the end that troubled north and as you heard badly mention that they want to change the sectarian system they want to see an all inclusive pluralistic democracy going forward these are huge demands these are going to be challenging moving forward and i think as we know 1st of all we're going to have to wait and see what the president says because we've seen that this country when it comes to their politicians and become reach tel mates on agreed to any form of government or cabinet going forward so how long is this going to take but certainly at the moment this when it comes to lessening the pressure on the street is going to be significant sammy the fact that the roads are now pretty much open to all over the country and if they will be opening banks and schools something to keep an eye on

there was a lot of concern of a run on the banks because they have been closed for almost 2 weeks it's the last week of the last week of the month salaries are going to be paid so again i think unpredictable time stare here you saw palace say it's a day by day process step by step everyone at the moment waiting to hear from the president and see what he is going to have to say off to the prime minister had in his resignation last night all right very dramatic times clearly still ahead ben thanks so much for doing a wonderful job in covering it for us stuff man. now the russian defense ministry says more than 30000 kurdish troops have pulled back from the turkey syria border ahead of the tuesday evening deadline set by turkey and russia it paves the way for the turks to create a so-called safe zone beginning joint patrols with russia border checks have been set up along the edge of the zone to keep kurdish forces out ankara began a military campaign 3 weeks ago to clear what it calls terrorists from its border as a bit of a it has more from shallower for near the turkish syrian border. turkish officials

have broken this move by russian forces saying that they have pulled out all kurdish rebels from the 30 kilometer piece on as agreed upon between the president's off turkey and russia in sochi now that joint patrols are due to begin 10 kilometers deep inside syrian territory if you've been hearing from turkey's defense ministry that they will begin on the eastern and western parts of this so-called piece on between the towns of colombia and russell named these this space still in a safe zone rather than a 10 kilometer joint patrols are going to be held is going to be on the western side and on the commish need that is turned kurdish majority town and on the eastern flank it will go all the way to the euphrates river there is a lot of questions about the modalities of what will be the rules of engagement once these joint patrols begin because turkey wants to see that all of these good fighters have been rooted out and president out of the one in the last print 12 hours has said that he would want to see these patrols happen and can negotiations

with the russian officials will continue it is also interesting to note that the united states which pulled out off number and the refractive error a kurdish fighters according to russia have also been pulled out has warned about restarting any sort of escalation and have warned of also that it would repose economic sanctions if there is another flare up of violence so it is going to be the next few hours are going to be very interesting to watch and we will see when these joint patrols begin and who will take part in them how how strong is the force going to be and what is going to be the more discipline on the. and a meeting about syria's constitution is about to begin in geneva it aims to repair the fractures that many believe led to the civil war on tuesday foreign ministers of turkey russia and iran all key players in the conflict met in geneva to welcome the initiative they won't be present during wednesday's discussions the group was

formed after 18 months of work by the un the syrian government and the main opposition bloc are diplomatic editor james pays joins us live now from geneva so james over the last how many years diplomacy hasn't achieved much in the way of agreement and peace in syria other any high hopes that this will be a different sort of meeting. i think they believe it will be a very difficult process of very sensitive time for the united nations we have these delegations coming here they're coming here to this door of the u.n. european headquarters in geneva in about the next half an hour or so for an event to open this constitutional committee in just under 2 hours from now despite that the u.n. has not officially even released the names of all the people on the list who are taking part in this there are 50 from the government 50 from the opposition and 50

from civil society and it's that last 50 that they took many months talking and wrangling over the names this was an idea that 1st came up in january 28th seen the idea of this constitutional committee came out of a meeting in sochi it was an idea of the iranians the turks and the russians and through both 3 foreign ministers from those countries were here in geneva just a few hours ago they're not coming to the opening event and that's because i think the u.n. does not want this to be seen as just the product of those countries they want it to be seen as a un process and a syrian led syrian owned process to come up with a new constitution for syria but as i say very sensitive of quite tough rules on the media when the delegations arrive here for politically talks 24 hours ago we were all told we couldn't even film them arriving in fact they'd take away our press credentials if we did they relented today and we're going to see them arrive

in the next hour in the next half an hour to hour or so but we're still very sensitive i think because i think the u.n. knows is going to be very difficult process over key issues like the role in this constitution is supposed to drop of the president and clearly the current president bashar al assad has shown that he's prepared to cling to power using any means possible including torture including barrel bombs and including the most ruthless tactics over over 8 years now. thanks so much james base there. all right still ahead on al-jazeera now we'll tell you why turkey is furious with politicians in the lower house of the u.s. congress plus. we are sorry deeply and truly sorry boeing c.e.o. admits mistakes were made as he was questioned about 2 deadly crashes.

front does make a little bit of headway by friday because he's across into adelaide also into melba hasn't really gone through so still feeling pretty warm as you can see 34 celsius in melbourne 27 up into sydney where it's mostly dry and then look at this hobart on friday we've got a high of 30 celsius the rain does come through and as it does that some cooler comes through as well so by saturday feeling better at 24 with some showers. is a popular filming location in france when it comes to stories about trucks crime and radicalization tired of negative stereotypes into its many do you need is reclaiming its image by putting its young brazilian behind the camera. this truth be don't often hear told by the people who live down.

this is us on al-jazeera. welcome back you're watching out to syria time to recap our headlines lebanon's army has begun clearing some of the main roads in the capital that has been blocked by protesters for days in a statement earlier on wednesday the army had asked demonstrators to remove the roadblocks so life can return to normal. and lebanon's president michel aoun is expected to issue a statement on the prime minister's resignation sadness how to be resigned on tuesday after days of nationwide protests. the russian defense ministry says more than 30000 kurdish troops have pulled back from the turkish syrian border ahead of

a choose the evening deadline set by turkey and russia paves the way for turkey to create a so-called safe zone in the area. british m.p.'s have voted for a general election on december 12th in the hope of ending the impasse over brags that prime minister barak johnson needs a minority government and is hoping to secure a majority in parliament leave barker reports from london. for the 4th time of asking parliament finally approved boris johnson's call for a general election the our eyes to the right $438.00 the nose to the left 20 so the eyes have it the ayes have it. an overwhelming majority of m.p.'s packing a vote on december the 12th it will be the 1st december election in almost a century the country isn't jew in election until 2022 but 3 and a half years after the brics a referendum parliament is stuck in the country no nearer to leaving the e.u.

we are left with no choice but to go to the country to break free from this time past and to allow us to submit as we must in all humility to the judgment of the electorate and to last to make our case and above all to allow a new and revitalized parliament with a new mandate to deliver on the will of the people and get bricks it done boris johnson leads a minority conservative party government although he's been able to get support from the e.u. for his latest withdrawal agreement he doesn't have the same support for that agreement in the british parliament he's hoping that by holding a general election by putting it back to the people he'll be able to reconfigure the balance of power and politics in his favor. by securing changes to the law johnson was able to get approval for an election through a simple majority of m.p.'s rather than a 2 thirds majority as previously required labor had blocked

a possible election until a new deal breaks it was off the table with the e.u. now offering a break sit extension until the 31st of january that condition has been met we're going to go out there with a very strong message of how we transform our society to end inequality and injustice and deal with the devastating poverty that so many people face we always said we wanted an election we do want to election but we wanted no deal to be taken off the table we now have confirmation from all 28 e.u. member states that no deal is off the table so we're going to go out there with the biggest campaign this party has ever mounted a similar message to from crew e.u. parties the liberal democrats and scottish national party hoping to capture the remains vote. and the election will be risky for johnson he promised a do or die breaks it on october 31st and hasn't delivered some pro breaks it

voters may decide to punish johnson in the polls by voting for the newly formed breaks at party and its leader nigel for raj the party did very well in recent european parliament elections but it's a risk johnson and rival politicians are now prepared to take in the hope of either delivering or defeating bricks it needs back out to sea or westminster. or turkish government has condemned the us house of representatives after it passed a bill threatening sanctions over the military operation in northern syria a 2nd vote drew further anger recognizing the mass killing of armenians at the end of world war one as genocide that's a term rejected by the turkish government alan fischer reports from washington d.c. . our 403 the nays are 16. from the u.s. house of representatives an overwhelming bipartisan message to donald trump it's time to sanction turkey for its military action against the cards with these

turkish aggression it was a bad couple of hours for the turkish government the sanctions vote coming after the house voted to recognize the mass killing of armenians by autumn and turks during the 1st world war as genocide we can say that the ottoman empire committed this grotesque crime against the armenians but their campaign of extermination failed and above all we will never forget. it will never again be silenced tuckey denies there was a campaign to kill armenians and is rejected the idea there was an orchestrated operation. tells us is that their relationship is very young trouble. jerusha position in washington was fractured before but ever since the fateful when i was stationed present job at present writing on

protesters in bolivia's capital as demonstrations continue against the disputed reelection of president evo morales the government has invited opposition candidate carlos mehsud to observe an audit of the result which she says was fraudulent gentleman as. were fresh faces taking to believe years streets it's been noted by the opposition and the government that young people have been the driving force behind the protests. was against a president who's already been in power for most of their lives and who this election went for an unprecedented time back i mean this ticket thing all rests on practically says i remember it all more or less has been in charge i want change a change for the better for the. president or at least has made a difference in the country almost parveen public and providing a prosperous economy. but

a cavalier approach to the environment has been my some forest fires and the perceived lack of job opportunities has meant his fall from trending among the young. and this election there were significant doubts about the vote counting process the return him to power many of those going to the polls for the 1st time have taken that personally they are taking trying to take something that we fought for for many years. and that was the bolivian politicians it seems folly to discount that voice of the young the really important in this situation because almost 40 percent of the electorate is aged 32nd to have a critical role to play however which way this divide the still president raul is claims those who turned against him being paid in money grades we put that to students there is enough but. it's disrespectful to the universities and to the students he's try. to minimize our vote they haven't paid us all given us great.

was carlos mencia the leading opposition candidate has acknowledged their role in north korea with the young this new knowledge this indomitable spirit has woken up to see mr morales they hear to defend democracy and be at the heart of this transformation. but he himself is far from a fresh face he was president the fool if it were really ever i believe that's why student committed moralise says to stick with a government which is stability a more recognition for many of the country's indigenous groups from the british government and the outer court and when a new coherent candidate comes up with new policies i would completely folk for them but right now we just have the same old opposition politicians was too old is politicians bowing to control it could still be begun to determine what happens next was john hoeven how does it or oppose.
