michel aoun named him his name is house and he is a former education minister and currently a university professor he is also a sunni muslim and he is the new prime minister as part of the sectarian political system in lebanon now we have seen a huge amount of widespread political unrest there and we have heard from our correspondent that wolf that a number of sunni parties a sunni bloc actually looked out of parliament and they're very unhappy the fact that he's been nominated the new prime minister he has he was initially nominated by the hezbollah led alliance and this comes often months and months of political upheaval protests began back in october. hundreds of thousands took to the streets of beirut and various cities across the country demanding an end to this sectarian political system asking for and a complete overhaul of the political system now there has been

a political stalemate and. the former prime minister did resign after weeks and weeks of of demonstrations and after that period refused to take the prime ministership there have been the 1st stalemates up until this point and you are now looking at lebanon's new prime minister. this is the fact the smallest porpoise on the planet one that could soon be lost forever. with an international team of scientists is determined not to let that happen now it's of race against time to try and save

. do you believe that you are able to meet the people's demand and take the people out of this crisis. people are not to blame. this is what we have come to and it is no surprise that the people have come to this point people have been suffering for long that is true we will consider the necessary procedures and they said the financial measures in order to exit this crisis however i request you to give me try to give me some time . well you've been watching the new prime minister of lebanon that's how sunday he was addressing the nation there live on lebanese television well he was just appointed by the president michel aoun after consultations today with michel aoun

the deputy is there has been a large amount of consternation about his appointment as the new prime minister he was nominated by the hezbollah alliance and this comes after months of political stalemate you'll recall that back in october a large amounts of lebanese came out into the streets and demonstrated in cities across the country after that saad hariri the prime minister the sunni prime minister resigned he was then the caretaker prime minister but refused to take office again resulting in a political stalemate that has ended only now for more on this let's bring in our correspondent tony bakley who is live for us in beirut tony we were talking about the consternation at ads and has an appointment earlier but what's the what's the political sense there now what kind of reaction are we seeing. well at the moment he just given an impromptu press conference just behind me and he said to me very emotive things he said that he's going to try and form

a government as soon as possible he's going to be talking in the coming hours and days with former heads of government or political parties and also from representatives of those civil societies that were leading the demonstrations for the last 2 months calling for a complete overhaul he actually said i hear i've heard your calls for the last 2 months our i've felt your pain and heard your words and demands so he wants to talk to be called out to the entire country to give him a chance to form a government and make this work he said so you really country should be a priority if he wants everybody to join hands to try and make that happen now as you well know he was nominated to predominately by the pro. alliance the sunny walks who. away they didn't make a nomination for whatever reason we're trying to read into why they didn't do that but people are saying that he was a hezbollah man he is showing quite clearly tonight that he is an independent candidate and he will work for the benefit of lebanon that will have to be remains

to be seen how that translates to the people on the streets demonstrating and calling for an overhaul remains to be see. i want to ask you more about that because we have seen a huge amount of anger on the streets at the overall political establishment how did how did protesters in the street view has and what kind of a man do they think he is. well he's been a former government minister he served in the government in 20072014 we've actually seen messages on social media today when his nominations were coming through that maybe there was not everything that was 100 percent good about the man that was made corruption allegations none of this has been corroborated but it's it's interesting to know that his prime minister at the time the synergy mccarty was one of the people in the sunny bloc that did not nominate him and he hired him in 2011 i think there's going to be

a lot of mixed reactions to this but as the man says give me a chance he represents an old establishment at the moment the people want him to represent a new establishment they want a techno cracked government they want you representatives you analyst they don't this techno political government this rule this country for 30 years to nepotism through corruption and it's led this country to the brink of economic collapse so they want to see a big change now he's got a big job on his hands to make that change happening before he can head a government he's got to do a lot of talking a lot of horse trading and of course you've got these big large sunny bloc that's been involved in the government since 2011 they have got a big say in this so he's got to do some deals and people are hoping that it will work but will seat. tonight on the streets we'll see over the weekend how they react to his nomination and his words tony we were talking earlier about that runs a very long history of foreign powers getting involved in regional politics there and i'm wondering how his appointment is going to be regarded by external forces

beyond the borders of lebanon. well that's always been a continuing factor in lebanon because ever since you know i've been reporting lebanon outside powers of play in fighting their battles on the soil here because the lebanese i've been speaking to the outside powers especially the u.s. so it's about policy not personality they want to see a government that represents people with the stable that can bring prosperity back to the country so that's what they're saying actually in public what is so your program i don't know because there's lots of issues at stake here you've got syria on the border you you got israel the southern border issues going on there you've got a round the back of the sea hezbollah is here is very strong so what is going to happen how people going to react are they going to become more deputies are they going to become more international we'll have to see and we will continue watching very

closely tony betty there for us live in beirut thank you. on moving on to other news now and a philippine court has found top members of a political clan guilty on multiple counts of murder over a mass killing in 2958 people 32 of them journalists were shot dead when their convoy was attacked in the southern province of we're going to now have trey grayson the reports. the accused dressed in yellow a prison plates was sitting in the back of the supreme court in manila as the guilty verdicts were read out by the club they are hereby convicted and sentenced to suffer the penalty of imprisonment a 1000 kilometers south of the philippine capital in general cental city some of the relatives of those killed 10 years ago watched a live stream of the court ruling not quick but only i finally received justice from my mum but there were those who were acquitted so i will keep on fighting for justice. to make india now massacre as it's become known happened on the morning of

november the 23rd 2009 journalists and members of a local political family were travelling in a convoy of vehicles when a gang of armed men shot them and buried that bodies in a mass grave 32 a journalists others were members of the mangudadatu family political rivals to the powerful and patch one clan witnesses say the armed men who working for the late governor and. 80 suspects have never been arrested rights groups say those who campaigned for justice a still in danger and one of the things we're calling for is for the government to move very quickly to apprehend them because as long as those people are still at large witnesses and the families of the victims are not safe we're always concerned about retaliation against witnesses and this is been a big issue the fight for justice has been difficult and painful and for the families it's not a they yet victoria is there. now in breaking news at least 3 people have been

killed in a shooting attack in moscow near the headquarters of the f.s.b. security service let's take you now to live pictures of the streets of moscow where that took place just over an hour ago but we do have our correspondent step vasant who is in moscow for us step what more do we know at this stage i realize that this was a this happened very very recently but we're hearing that at least one of them was a police officer. yes it's all happening there right now in the last couple of hours basically what we know now is from the secret service and some sound they say that the attacker has now been killed they are talking only about one attacker and they also said that the attack took place nearby their headquarters and look younger but there are other reports unconfirmed reports saying that the attack actually happened and started inside the secret service headquarters and that there might have been also 2 other attractive or even more involved and they might also

have been killed inside but again that's not been confirmed so far we also have heard reports that the police have now opened the case an investigation looking at the track and people in the streets have been asked to leave the area as soon as possible people of course were panicking they were hiding in buildings they were running away when the shooting happened and there's also a cordon security measure in place now leading they call it a fortress. approach basically making sure that everyone stays inside the building of the secret services that nobody can leave at the same time president putin is actually at a concert right now where the apathy is holding a yearly celebration. accidentally or maybe not happening at the same time

and step this is a really sensitive location do we have any more idea about the motion vacation of the attackers at this stage i realize it's early days and maybe you can tell us a little more especially for our international viewers about to the f.s.b. our. yes the atmosphere is the former k.g.b. basically for the successor of the k.g.b. the secret service industry of your time is now called b. and their headquarters has always been at the same place in look younger and exactly it's a very sensitive location for sure that's why i think we're also getting sketchy information if that attack actually happened inside the building or outside the building as far as we now know it's we don't know if there's any confirmation on who did it and what the motives are but we have had periods of terrorist attacks in russia and also in moscow in the past but the last one wasn't in petersburg in 2017 in the metro station here and also we have of course

a very big one in 2004 and beslan where hundreds of people mostly children died going to them please president putin in an annual address earlier today that that was the most traumatizing is and he had to experience during his presidency which is now exactly 20 years wow step fastened there live for us in moscow we'll be getting more from the step as we get more information about what's happened this evening thank you step on moving on now and a stray or has melted hottest day ever just 24 hours after breaking the previous record the average temperature across the country on thursday reached 41.9 degrees celsius that heat wave is expected to worsen bushfires especially in new south wales where an emergency has already been declared jesica washington reports from sydney. a crisis that has been raging for months millions of acres of land destroyed as hundreds of fires burned around the country bushfires are

a normal part of the summer but not like this the ferocity of this is prompting authorities to take extreme measures in a stray most populous states new south wales will be in a state of emergency from today for the next 7 days as you are away the 2nd state of emergency we've declared since the far as commenced in july was to die is going to be very bad. here in new south wales the forecast says that sort of i will be even worse so we're talking about some very serious and dangerous conditions over the coming days the state of emergency means the fire service will have authority to shut down utilities like water and electricity close roads demolish buildings and evacuate residents sydney's famous harbor views have been completely transformed by the disaster was. and frustrations are growing the

combination of the crisis drought heatwaves criticism of the government's climate policies a group of protesters most of them high school students gathered outside the prime minister's house braving the smoky and uncomfortable heat to stage a sit in i'm just really sick of what's been happening. by the government for weeks and weeks. there's almost a festival atmosphere at the stadium just outside the prime minister's residence. but the protesters here say that they're serious about their message that the government isn't doing enough to stop what they're calling a climate emergency. across the country across the country and. we've seen a 25 percent increase in risk presentation. hospitals across sydney because of this crisis and yet pollution that's resulting from that we're seeing deepening health

inequalities because of government in action on climate change and it's negligent and it's actually killing people oh prime minister morrison wasn't home to hear their message he's on holiday and is due to return later this week to face the heat of the war in the volatile situation will grow even more dangerous in the coming days with strong winds and soaring temperatures forecast just a washington al-jazeera sydney. now muslim leaders meeting in malaysia are calling for a new approach to tackle the rise of us on the phobia and conflicts around the wild but divisions between islamic countries have also been highlighted as leaders from only 20 nations attended apparent pressure from saudi arabia has been blamed for many staying away now and our reports from kuala lumpur. this is the 1st time foreign heads of state have been invited to the kuala lumpur summit since it 1st convened in 2014 but there were notable absentees saudi arabia didn't attend

and there was a late withdrawal from pakistan the summits found malaysia's prime minister mahathir mohamad says the aim of the gathering is to tackle pressing problems including why islam muslims and their countries are in what you called a state of crises we had to deal with these wars civil wars government and many other get this fees that have flown. with this effort being made in order to use them all to rehab elite religion but the summits theme is not about quick fixes for conflict or catastrophes it's rather about the fundamental question of economic development as a tool for political sovereignty. despite all the riches that a law has pursued upon us despite all of the oil all of our population and all of our natural resources the vast majority of the muslims are fighting in the grasp of

famine poverty and ignorance and in order for that to be eradicated once and for all we have to look towards ourselves. to be able to do that the emir of qatar said a crippling deficit of self-confidence within the muslim world that needed to be addressed and that's by considering the models of muslim success already exists. to do it in countries where there is a muslim majority have proved by experience and practices that there is no contradiction between islamic culture development good governance and human rights and the like other major civilisations they can be incubators of in lightened and rational systems of governance. but these invited leaders from many muslim countries but most stayed away under pressure from the saudis who are said to be concerned the summit could seek to replace the big saudi based organization of islamic cooperation the cerro this thing that they are the sole representatives of the concept of islamic wall and they are the spokes people over and therefore they

don't want anyone to compete with them especially when you have someone back out again and the copper is of course and the malaysians coming together to find something of course their presentation of iran as well in the summit has it created another banamex where the start of this also very upset saudi opposition has been a challenge for this summit but perhaps more concerning to the leaders here is the need to achieve something to address the expectations of 1700000000 muslims and prove the meeting is not being helped in vain how much fun or dizzy or kuala lumpur now sudan is marking one year since the start of the uprising that removed president omar al bashir from power celebrations are underway in parts of khartoum and at that's where the protests started many are still demanding justice for those who were killed in violence by government forces rights groups say more than 200 people were killed in the town rest of

a the government disputes that figure on many of those celebrating now said they wouldn't hesitate to munch again in protest if justice is not done him a morgan reports from cutting. now we've seen more marches here in the sudanese capital people coming out and saying that they feel despite the achievements over the past 12 months despite the fact that their demands of change being achieved with the ousting of former president are going to be here and his cabinet and the dissolution of the former ruling party this is that they feel the revolution is not yet over and that's because they see there has been no accountability and just as delivered not just for the lives of the protesters who were killed during the months of uprising no some of them say that crimes were committed from the time a former president i would have been here took power in 1800 so they want to see to see change they want to see accountability and justice for those crimes now it's worth mentioning that the prime minister who was appointed in august did indeed form a committee to look into those problems where people are saying that all the achievements

and the progress that the government is making is too slow and they say that if not just is the liver and if they don't see members of the former ruling party held to account then they will continue with their revolution and they will be taking to the streets once again to make sure that the government fulfills their demand of justice and accountability. turkish president. has denounced other muslim nations for not supporting his plans to resettle refugees in northern syria he underlines the pressure his country was under saying 50000 people a migration from syria's in a province into turkey meanwhile 3 civilians have been killed and several others injured in the latest round of russian attacks on rebel positions positions in southeast shelling and strikes and have escalated in recent weeks. now 2 former executives at south africa's state run electricity company eskom have been arrested over accusations of fraud this is back to the pocketing part of the budget for 2 essential new power plants as com provides 90 percent of south africa's
