ok. for another night of demonstrations protests across lebanon they're ready to block roads again putting pressure on the government. summary of this is the world news from al-jazeera leaders from across the southeast asia gathering in bangkok to hash out what could be a major trade agreement also a public health emergency india's toxic air quality forces schools to close and flights to be canceled and in zimbabwe rising inflation and corruption health care is a luxury few can afford. the

protests continue for the 19th day now across lebanon as demonstrators step up the pressure on the government i have blocked main highways and roads across the country continuing their calls for the removal of the ruling elite and a complete overhaul of the political system it was also anger at president. announcing a date for parliamentary consultations which are required to name the next prime minister the protests of a ready for spry minister saad hariri to hand in his resignation and there have been rallies we should say in support of the government as well let's check in with stephanie dechen our live update from the protests in beirut stephanie. that's right well this is what they're calling an escalation come after a few days of relative calm on the streets no road block they're back. to blocking

these roads this is a vital highway through the capital beirut you had riot police here they've now just gone to the side but we've also seen a lot of frustrated drivers who are trying to get around the city this is as you were mentioning one of the tactics they're using to put the pressure on the government one of the chances are using today is that a government needs to be formed in the sense of you mentioned the political consultations what does that mean it means that the parties need to go to the president and give them a name for prime minister and then there's going to be he needs to form a government so these are the next political steps and that hasn't happened regardless of the fact the prime minister has resigned there's been no movement on the political front because the parties are still bickering as to who is going to get what so this is the message here they're back on the streets saying it's not good enough we need to move forward. and it is also causing a lot of frustration but again it's now day 19 we saw a large crowd last night noticed big as 2 weeks ago but certainly the momentum is

still here people are frustrated and they say that unless the government makes real change that this is going to go on. and what constitutes real change in their minds you know we use the phrase before a complete overhaul of the political system that's what that's a very broad comment. and it's everyone you speak to will will admit that this is going to be hugely challenging what they're calling for which is an overhaul as you mention of the political system not just the entire political lead to a to go war people have been running this country for decades they're ingrained when it comes to businesses ownership. you know that they have their own private armies if you will in some senses so this is going to be very difficult then they want to see an overhaul of the sectarian electoral rule which means that basically you have a president who's a christian a prime minister who's a sunni and the speaker of parliament who's a shia they want that to go because they say that politicians use a sectarian card to instill fear. here in key people divided the message here is

that people are united they want to be united under the lebanese flag all together as lebanese but again scratch the surface here come out it is a fractured society it is incredibly complicated with many layers of interests politically socially so. people will tell you they don't know how this is going to play out but certainly something is change what's happening here is extraordinary but the stalemate political crisis not over political parties the ones that are negotiating are the ones they want to get rid of so we're going to have to wait and see how things are going to play out stephanie decker in amongst the protests in beirut thank you. we move on to other news people in iran are rallying outside the former u.s. embassy as they mark a key anniversary of the islamic revolution it has been 40 years since students stormed the embassy compound and held dozens of americans hostage for 444 days they were calling for the united states to extradite sharma hummingbird's up the who had

led iran to the revolution in 1979 the rally outside the for me embassy is held every year and the pictures coming in right now from tehran show huge number of people gathering outside that embassy as we say 40 years since the embassy crisis began and also jabar is our correspondent in tehran to talk to us when the the depth of failing it doesn't diminish as the years go by as it. no certainly not come all and this year like many other years previous it's a nationwide day of anti-u.s. protests the reins are marking this anniversary voicing their distaste in this trust in the united states and their policies towards the islamic republic over the past 40 years now this incident is a key incident in the history of iran since the revolution of february 979 it is the 1st incident which really shaped iran's foreign policy and its relationship

with the united states those students took the embassy and 52 members inside of it hostage for 444 days because then u.s. president jimmy carter had allowed the shah of iran to enter the united states to receive medical treatment for his cancer the students wanted the shah to come back to stand trial for his crimes in the country this incident really was the 1st starting point which severed relationship between iran and the united states and every year there remains mark this occasion to highlight that they are still very much of the same in the same position when it comes to their feeling and sentiments towards the united states and their policies when it comes to dealing with iran ok thank you for. asian leaders meeting in bangkok discussing what has the potential to become the world's biggest trade deal thailand says the next steps in the china backed deal will be made in the coming hours there was a last minute doubts about the deal in india raised concerns about china's involvement

u.s. president donald trump is also invited southeast asian leaders to a special summit early next year and check in with scott heide lawyer in bangkok scott what is the latest on the trade deal. i'm all right now we don't really have much information to advance the story now what it was interesting that throughout the day here on monday in bangkok we heard some statements from the commerce minister of thailand saying that they'll be something an announcement coming out of definitive announcement coming out of the the meeting here today with the 16 members of this trade deal that has the potential to be the largest in the world and then we heard a little bit of a walking back the trade minister from australia who's part of this discussion he said that actually there's going to be ongoing negotiations that we kind of have been hearing over the last couple of days that because as you mentioned come all of the issues that india has with the deal primarily the flood of products cheaper

products from china going into india those are some of the issues that needed to be worked out so we were hearing up until monday afternoon we were hearing that the likely signing of this trade deal would not come until early 2020 so then there was a little bit of confusion but right now it appears as though negotiations are ongoing there are some issues that need to be hammered out but it's still sounding positive that something will eventually be signed just when that is come up we're not quite sure just in the meantime scott what is the story with the united states given that they are not actually represented at a top level at this meeting leadership president from not bad but he's saying hey let's come to another summit next year. quite interesting yeah there was you know the story one of the stories coming out of this summit over the last couple of days has been that the downgrade of the u.s. delegation here at aussie on you know last year was vice president pence previous

years it's been president level because you have leaders from the other nations here as well so normally it's kind of leader with leader and so it's been interesting that the united states the top level the highest level in that delegation was the commerce secretary obviously there's a lot of trade discussions a lot of focus on the trade war going on with china so it made sense of the commerce minister was here but that's the highest level so it's kind of interesting that you know there's been a lot of criticism and the way the american delegation kind of fired back if you will they said well president trump has invited the members here to come to washington for a special summit next year early next year kind of an interesting kind of footnote to all of this because there has been so much criticism also coming out from the u.s. delegation particular when it comes to china they're saying that there's been provocation by china in the south china sea and that the austrian members here should stand up to that no need to be noted that some of the members of the on their 10 nations who are members of us and have trade disputes sorry territory disputes with china in

the south china sea this has been an ongoing issue they've been discussions at this summit about rules of conduct codes of conduct for the south china sea it seems like there's a little bit of progress but the united states telling us and members you need to stand up to china's aggression in the south china sea come up ok we're going to hopefully win this some more clarity on that deal scotlands that asio. millions of people in india's capital having to find alternative ways to get to work this monday the number of private vehicles allowed on new delhi roads has been hugged in an attempt to clear toxic smaug the city pollution levels are so high in new delhi schools are shut flights are being counseled in a public emergency has been declared experts say the air in new delhi is similar to smoking but for this on up to 50 cigarettes a day here is more from in new delhi. and in delhi is unreadable i've been standing 20 minutes my eyes are burning the back of my torch and it's not just me because the doctors and saying that they are witnessing
