government needs to be appointed that out of happened yet and the big question is of course is it going to be made up of technocrats is it going to have people that know what it's going to be to the people here will tell you they don't want that but i can tell you we just got back from that job gathering from the supporters of the president outside of the box in the message that is that they don't want to see the president go they don't want to see the political elite go they want the same issues addressed but not to change at the top. and would we did see the president out and still has a lot of support with that earlier demonstration north of beirut stephanie so the question now is what happens and who's got momentum on their side. absolutely even though you do have nots amount of people not just in beirut and ship many in the in areas of the south that are talking out against their leaders that are mourning for change used to a lot of a lot of the people who are supporting those exact political parties the people here are one job change so you do not have

a country that is speaking with one voice you do not have a country that is in agreement this is a polarized country it is fractious it is fractured along sectarian lines that is what people here want to change others don't want to do that i was talking to people outside the presidential palace today we don't want to change sectarian systems the president of this country of course is a christian and that's the way it's and it's meant to be to the constitution people that were telling me all that that goes we feel that the persons will be put out forced out of this country so you have so many levels of complications but i think to try and simplify it is we have to look at the next step but not is expecting that's actually let's go this way because there's a march coming out just to show you the momentum that's starting kerry got so it's no new building and we are expecting the crowds to be big tonight they were expecting people to come down from tripoli as well there's not a d.j. you became famous by playing to the crowd there he's expected to come to. everything indicating that. tonight you will be seeing large numbers again. the 1st

week out when these protests start thank you very much for that stephanie decker live for us in the lebanese capital beirut let's now speak to heal our crush on who's a professor of political science at the american university of beirut he is live with us from saigon thank you so much for being with us as we saw there anti-government protesters again out on the streets of beirut today earlier we had pro our own supporters out in force and i stephanie says it doesn't really show that the lebanese are speaking with one voice there is you know there are differences so where does lebanon go from here well if the beginning uprising was spontaneous and multi confessional but it didn't take long for confessional leaders to. i mean sure quite a little community to walk out of the protest movement now in the shi'ite community has will and a movement took the people out of the protest movement and they actually close down

on the wall streeters in beirut michel on the estimate the and they were successful in getting them are in a community or at least most of it directly behind him so what happened in lebanon right now is that the confessional leaders are in control and the uprising has lost its momentum and this is exactly what anti-government protesters have been denouncing this sectarian based political system is what they want change but is that realistic in your view in a country as diverse as lebanon. if this isn't possible confessional islam is the only institution in lebanon in 1043 lebanon was granted independence and from the beginning the political system and the leader of russia and was based on confessional representation i mean how could you undo it you know i mean it is ingrained in the cycle but collective consciousness of all liberties

so i think this is a tall order and the crisis right now is economic and the country is on the verge of economic collapse if it hasn't already collapsed or to talk about ending the confessional system at a time when the country is dying economically is too much but the problem with this system also is that you have the same names that are still governing the country that decades ago the same names harry reids and so on and what demonstrators are asking for is a technocratic government do you think that could provide a sectarian answers considering the sectarian divisions and the structure of the lebanese parliament not really because you know. the cabinet is theoretically. the executive branch of the government i mean agreement these will have to be approved by the parliament which is 630 and you know even if those so-called tightly qualified in your cabinet members are put into place they will have to deal

with the bureaucracy which is sectarian doable. ok thank you so much for speaking to us will be interesting to see how this all unfolds in the coming weeks. professor of political science at the american university of beirut thank you. and much more ahead on this news hour including these leaders came to thailand hoping to create the world's largest trading brod but it's been delayed we'll find out why and in sports a near miss in qualifying for lewis hamilton accies looks for his speed with a one world to a. first several people have been injured in hong kong after protesters fought with police in iran shopping malls anti-government demonstrators gathered in the new town plaza
