a protest is a bit back out in west jerusalem calling for israel's prime minister to step down. have been hours of clashes in central beirut today where thousands of lebanese are out voicing their fury at the government and its role in choose days explosion but he's fired tear gas and live ammunition as some protesters threw stones and others stormed a number of government ministries one policeman died and dozens of people were injured beirut residents are angry that they've been left to pick up the pieces of their shattered homes and neighborhoods using shovels and human chains with no help from the state and more m.p.'s have resigned from parliament in their own protest 3 m.p.'s from a christian opposition party announce that resignation at the funeral of one of

their senior officials who died in the blast that in its prime minister has responded to the anger by calling for early elections saying a holder of ports now from beirut. they stood their ground in the face of power. relentless tear gas by security forces at times live ammunition. but protesters didn't leave too angry at a political class they blame for tuesday's blast that killed dozens and destroyed and damaged many neighborhoods in the lebanese capital the authorities were aware that thousands of tons of highly explosive material was stored at the beirut port for years we have survived the explosion but part of all of us has died to be honest but what can we do i am one of the fortunate ones who can leave and establish myself outside but all these people cannot so what can we do what they did was return to the streets they have been demanding

a new leadership for months many were injured in running battles that lasted for hours but this time they say they won't be silenced they want justice and revenge for the victims of the explosion and believe a government led inquiry into the disaster won't hold senior officials accountable . we are not leaving it's either them or us in this country and you know what the people always prevails and we will fight we want revenge and all revenge is by putting all the political class either either on the huygens to see over there or in the dust but we want them out. protesters also storm 3 ministries state institutions people say are run by corrupt politicians who they blame for draining the state's treasury they say they want the state and a competent government currently levanon since the 2 sions are controlled by political parties and there is a parallel state run by the iranian backed hezbollah the prime minister has sandy

who took office earlier this year is now offering a way out of the crisis conclusion as making ability when you know we we cannot face these problems unless we have a really elections to elect a new politicians and a new parliament we need a new political elite and a new parliament we need to work together to overcome the stiff it will carry it we know and i know the people have questions about the catastrophe and how the government plans to handle it the catastrophe is way bigger than anyone could imagine the impact my stay forever. over early elections have been one of the opposition's demands but there are concerns the sectarian based political system and electoral law won't give independent candidates a chance. to early a little chill stood as a good step but i'm afraid that the political parties although they still have the power over the people and a soul about the system like i'm afraid that they will have just we will have the same people again i thought the 1st time central beirut turns into

a battleground between the people and the establishment the struggle for change is not new the anger has been building for years. many feel those in power caved in by proposing early elections the governing alliance is not just facing pressure from the street the state is nearly bankrupt and the international community won't help unless politicians fight state corruption for now many people here feel they won a round in what is likely to be a long battle. beirut. in the last 24 hours another 905 people have died of code 19 in brazil taking the country's death toll past 100000 it's only the 2nd country to reach that tragic milestone after the united states activists of marked the moment with a striking event on rio's famous copacabana beach they set out 100 black crosses

and released a 1000 red balloons one for every 100 people who have died since may brazil has reported an average of 1000 deaths a day from the pandemic but president. has consistently play down the crisis despite catchin cove at 19 himself. the 100000 deaths most in represents what brazil is to the world in 2nd place can we give to this question here we have me have one percent of the number of deaths 100000 where will this take us. on a can acute joins us live now from rio de janeiro so that 2nd highest number of deaths in the world and brazil hasn't isn't thought to have reached its peak no not yet people are talking about brazil reaching 200000 deaths by october and 100000 is already

a very large number of. the protest this morning was very very impacting it's every 100000 people there are there's a everyone has their families so that it's many people that have been feeling this . one time bus driver on the show on the depression was one of brazil's 12000000 unemployed that is until the soaring death toll caused by the coronavirus pandemic landed him a job as a grave digger at the simple salvo cemetery on the outskirts of rio de janeiro. we had to recruit 30 undertakers to cope with the growing amount of boroughs and build a separate area just for infected bodies. i was shown the works in the cove in 1900 designed especially for the victims of the virus. being full partners witnessing

the farewell which is different from many other people want to say goodbye to their loved ones but we can't allow them to get near. brazil's cova death toll keeps growing in part because the government is encouraging brazilians not to stay home while failing to take measures to stop the virus from reaching even remote parts of the amazon despite evidence to the contrary president. continues questioning the seriousness of the pandemic and scorns w.h.o. guidelines such as the need for widespread testing and using face masks as a result many here are skeptical about the official number of deaths like lead to a deal on who does for morning exercises in front of the emblematic modicum of football stadium now converted into a field hospital you know he will be man. i never saw anyone coming in or out of this hospital so i don't know if this story was made up or if politicians have been

using this pandemic to steal money. this is one of the 5 field hospitals of rio de janeiro that are being dismantled some of them were not even completed the state health secretary and his deputy are in jail for allegedly misusing the funds that were given to fight the covert 19 pandemic and the governor is about to be impeached on corruption charges. back at the cemetery 53 year old moyes says the colonel is about to be buried. his family is obliged to stay far away all the most unable to see the casket being sealed off some of the few from sympathetic to signal unfortunately my brother in law has just become more and more statistic bird in a 5 minutes or more and. gives the impression that nothing is going on but i think the reason numbers of this are even higher than the official statistics and

although the president and a search of his cabinet have tested positive for corona virus critics say a deadly combination of corruption and a refusal to come from the pandemic head on will continue filling brazil's graveyards. and just as the number of deaths climbing and expected to double in the coming months you have cities bars restaurants opening up exactly yes bars are opening up of people are wearing face masks that many some are not but most are at least here in rio de janeiro but social distancing is not something that happens you enter into a supermarket and people are crowded in a small space so this whole social distancing is not really happening but the masks yes and alcohol and washing your hands with soap those those things are going to go

have been following those safety guidelines. thank you the latest from rio de janeiro alone a chaotic year that. now the main opposition candidate in better reeses election has gone into hiding after 2 of her top aides were detained by police so taken off sky is running against the man who's been called europe's last dictator alexander lukashenko a supporters have been taking part in a car protest on the streets of the capital minsk making the opposition hand gesture out of their windows dozens of them have also been arrested despite that show of support the president is expected to declare victory after the final day of polling on sunday. what's now from minsk where his unlikely opponent. election observation belorussian style. independent observers have not only been detained but also been barred from entering polling stations nonetheless they have found irregularities in the voting

process that started on tuesday and will have its peak on sunday at the 1st day of the elections same. 39 people were out in the evening protocol. commission said there were 89 so they added 50 people as the president alexander lukashenko has been accused of stealing previous elections but this time he's facing an opposition on a scale has not witnessed before led by this woman 37 year olds but learn at the hand of sky she reluctantly decided to run for president after her husband a popular blogger was jailed suppose the elections were going to be free and free or how many percent of the vote would you get. i suppose about 6 to 5 said and. he would be a big whenever. i would be yes who would.

but the woman who attracted large crowds does not expect this to be the official election result she has promised that if she becomes president the 1st thing she will do is call for free elections even if this. doesn't happen now because elections will be prosecuted anyway. i don't think that he will stay long because. i don't know how can a person. country where people. softly speaking don't like him just. most of them. and. but will he go quietly. the talk of this guy has accused the opposition of trying to cause a bloodbath and russia of provoking violence but analysts say these accusations are

made to hide the country some real problems. in the last 10 years they call them has gone down and society is not happy and basically society are united against looking despite their ideological position their values and political priorities all of them think are the main obstacle for development. but as long as the president is still backed by the military and high ranking officials he believes look i shan't i will remain in power the moment of truth for look i shan't go will not be on election day but on the days after that if as announced large crowds protests what they believe will be another fraudulent election here at this square just read the file and scanned them become reality a scenario most belorussians want to avoid step fasten al-jazeera mintz. you know al jazeera live from london more still ahead as president signs orders he says will help americans suffering financially could a quarter of a 1000000 bikers be the next interactions brightest. residents in russia scramble

it will just continue to erode those coastal areas all of this is staying away from new zealand as 16 is a high as you can see the in sydney on monday 20 celsius in business and nice sunshine so a very wet scattered showers and still really feeling rather breezy. and dry across new zealand as well not out of course across into northeast asia still we have very heavy amounts of rain really going to impact the korean peninsula again and this of course falls the cleanup work is well underway all the crops that have been damaged the homes that have been destroyed but look at this through sunday the areas that lined there those seasonal rain sunday and monday we could see another $400.00 millimeters of rain. rewind returns with a new series. to see i don't. think. rewind

continues with the last try secret tell me if the cia 675 believe in the same way that the m sisters did living in the forest in the jungle and seems like they're abandoned by everybody on al-jazeera. welcome back to headlines one policeman has died and dozens of been wounded in lebanon's capital during clashes between demonstrators and security forces thousands were voicing their fury at the government after tuesday's explosion in beirut prime minister says the only way out of the crisis is to hold elections

on the eve of election the main opposition candidate has gone into hiding after 2 of her top aides were detained by police on a ticket off sky is running against a man who's been called europe's last dictator alexander lukashenko. and the number of people who died of covert 19 in brazil has now passed 100000 activists mark the tragic milestone by releasing a 1000 red balloons on rio's copacabana beach. now u.s. president donald trump has bypass congress and signed for executive orders that he says will provide economic relief to millions of americans they include extending unemployment benefits at a low a weekly amount as well as eviction protections and student loan relief trump signed the orders after talks with congressional democrats broke down on friday he accused them of trying to load up to the rescue bill with things that were not related to the to the virus will hundreds of thousands of most of us from across

the country are descending on a small city in south dakota this is one of the largest gathering since the pandemic began water of a 1000000 bikers are expected in sturgis which has a population of only 7000 at the 80th annual motorcycle rally mike hanna joins us live now from washington so 4 executive orders signed by president trumpet his golf club today what are the how they going to affect struggling americans. well certainly they're going to be very controversial indeed before even these executive orders were signed to many legal scholars who are questioning whether the president has the constitutional authority to bypass congress in this particular matter when negotiations in congress have been stalled for weeks in terms of getting a new relief bill the situation was is that the massive relief bill passed by on a bipartisan basis back in march expired at the end of last month so many of those

provisions expired as well along with them for example the unemployment benefits the fiction from. rental properties and the for going off student loans the repayment of student loans but certainly the whole issue of unemployment is going to be one of these very controversial factors this is what president trump had to say. under the cares act i proudly cerned expanded unemployment benefits into law congressional democrats have stonewalled our efforts to extend this relieve they even opposed measures that would give bonuses to workers returning to the job they were totally opposed to for this reason i'm taking action to provide an additional or elektra $400.00 per week of expanded benefits $400.00. right so there could be legal challenges to this is you're saying why

why why did these negotiations with the democrats break down now. well it was a long process of basically the democrats in the house came through with the bill back in may republicans didn't discuss that at all for a long period of time only in recent weeks have formal discussions begun in terms of trying to reach some kind of compromise but to take a look for example in the democrat house bill the unemployment benefits were fixed at $600.00 which is what they've been paid throughout the months of the pandemic president now cutting that to $400.00 because he says he doesn't want to desensitize people from returning to work certainly that's going to be a controversial point but also in the executive order is the fact that the states will have to pay a quarter of those unemployment rates now this is been $1.00 of the sticking points in negotiations the states have been pleading for more money in the pandemic has

literally bankrupt many of the country states now they are put in a position where they are going to have to pay part of the unemployment benefits that are normally paid by the federal government that is going to be a contentious point another exceedingly contentious point is the suspension of payroll taxes now being used taxes are used to fund social security and medicare very unclear exactly what is going to happen to these programs now that these payroll taxes have been suspended by executive order so there's a lot of controversy here and there's certainly going to be a lot of legal action in the days ahead thank you from washington mike hanna. now security forces are trying to disperse thousands of people who have gathered on the streets of west jerusalem calling for the prime minister to stand down demonstrators gathered outside benjamin netanyahu official residence before expanding to nearby parts of the city anger at his government's handling of the coronavirus pandemic has added to existing tensions caused by his impending trial

over corruption charges carry force it has more. well other very noisy very substantial protest here in west cirrus one just a few 100 meters from the prime minister's residence benjamin a residence just beyond the square behind me once again very much dominated it seems by the israeli political left we see the black flags of the pro-democracy and seen as you know movement and others good long been protesting against his premiership saying that he should resign because of the fact that he is on trial in 3 separate corruption cases but as well as that these are very much being fueled these protests by those who beat and getting disappointed by the government's performance in dealing with the coronavirus demick away from what's happening on the street though it's worth noting there are other major political developments going on every week every sunday israeli government has a cabinet meeting it seems that this one could be canceled this sunday because of

a disagreement between the 2 sides the likud party of benjamin netanyahu and the blue and white party of benny gantz his former rival and also the prime minister they have been deep in argument over the passage of a budget that you know he wants a one year budget to allow the freon potentially in calling fresh elections and staying in office up until those elections dance wants to see the deal they signed off on it meaning a 2 year budget giving him more security in himself taking office on time in the event been next year so this is only fueling which is already very rampant speculation that this coalition could break up and israel could be facing a forefront of election within months. the black box data recorders have been recovered from the wreckage of a jet that crashed on landing in india southern state of carola 18 people were killed including both the pilots when the air india express boeing 737 plunged off the end of the runway the flight was repatriating indians who'd been stranded in
