incompetence we're all up against corruption we're up against all that system that got us where we are today and it's the whole system that is wrong it's also a sin that is flawed we want bury our dead before we bury their corruption before we bury them the blast deep in the already dire economic crisis which pushed half of lebanon's 5000000 people into poverty aid agencies are distributing food and medicine filling the void left by a government that has long failed to provide basic services the state is close to bankruptcy this is all that it got from the doctor and the hospital no one supported me. that's why. i lost my job 1st and i lost my home and i love my god from schools private hospitals were owed billions of dollars by successive governments which left the public sector ill equipped and underfunded i just want to say to the international community if you want if you can help the institutions that really. were substituting. the country and the government's role

towards its people it will be a very interesting step the government has now resigned as though it will remain as a caretaker ministration until a new cabinet is formed these people want what they call an independent salvation government but there are others who still support the sectarian system that they believe protects that they want a national unity government that will bring back the same political elite. that is what people fighting for a new country fear they have the will but not the tools to bring change. french president. is leading an international initiative to solve the crisis he says lebanon needs fundamental change and a new political order he didn't elaborate. beirut. greece has called for an emergency e.u. summit on its growing dispute with turkey of the oil and gas drilling rights that's off to ankara began exploration on monday in an area of the eastern mediterranean claimed by both countries and

a government released photo its research ship is seeing escorted by 5 turkish warships written naval vessels are shattering the flotilla further back greece says the survey is illegal and a threat to regional peace and security. turkey's proved once again that it statements about readiness for dialogue were insincere and misleading that it abhors the modern perceptions that govern states in the 21st century that it lives and acts in the 19th century that it implements a goner policy there will be no tolerance of turkey's attempts we address everyone we make clear that greece will defend its sovereignty and sovereign rights we call on turkey to leave the greek continental shelf immediately and turkey's foreign minister is refusing to compromise. at this point no one can say turkey has not shown good will we have shown it but there is a country with ill intentions on the other side so whoever is looking for someone to blame can blame greece now mexico's attorney general is investigating

allegations that former president enrique pena nieto possibly funded his 2012 election campaign with bribes from a brazilian construction company the former head of mexico state run oil company accused pena nieto ordering him to pay the bribes to his campaign staff the explosive allegations are the latest twist in a scandal that has rocked latin america where john holdren joins us live now from mexico city john so what exactly are the accusations. well i think you just said them actually. who's the ex head of pemex which is a stay company in mexico he'd actually been on the run in spain and they managed to get him back to mexico on an extradition and apparently as part of that deal he was going to share the more wide aware of accusations of what he said were corruption and embezzlement and deals being done especially with this brazilian construction company and the actually the attorney general himself came out with

this in a video just today saying that he had said as you said the money was used bribe money more than $4000000.00 of it was used by him to pay campaign consultants in the now ex president enrique pena nieto was a presidential campaign of 2012 and he said he was ordered to do that by the ex president and also by the ex president's finance minister so this is pretty big in mexico it's big for a couple of reasons one of them is because as you said auto bresh this company they've just become synonymous with corruption in latin america it's been uncovered in various different countries in peru presidents have fallen they've also been brought up implicated in the fall of brazilian presidents in various different countries there's been a huge public backlash to it but in mexico on the other hand no one's been put in prison and there's been

a lot of questions about that especially since the company was doing business in this country so i think part of the news about this is that this may be the beginning of a brush finally arriving in mexico and i'm a disco and john i mean how common are moves against a former president in mexico. not very common. actually we've been doing a bit of amateur history here in the mexico bureau and we think that it was in the $884.00 that the last mexican ex-president actually faced a corruption charge that looked like it could stick to him and then those charges were flown out so it's going back a fair way you know until since the last mexican ex president was really in the thick of things with this and since 917 so we're going back to the revolution days there was a muted see from press prosecution for presidents during their term and there is

that in other countries but in mexico it covered quite a lot of things that cover virtually everything apart from treason against the country the current president under his mantle lopez obrador repealed that just last year so but it's just a barometer of how protected mets can presidents and x. presidents have been in this country for so long now we haven't got to the point yet where enrique pena nieto the president has been charged with anything what the attorney general has said is that once investigators vet this information he will then cooled on pena nieto and his ex finance minister luis be the guy to give statements so this isn't this isn't a long way down the road just yet it might be the start of something and it might be not i think one question that's going to come up as this progresses is what the what the political sort of reasons for doing this is this a clear and clean prosecution the president and the his man or lopez obrador and

his attorney general which is meant to be separate cleaning up politics in the country delivering on his promise against corruption or is it what's happened in the past in metz kampala takes not quite such a higher level but at a lower level going after your enemies going after your opponents and trying to beat them with a bit of a stick once you're in office and they're out of office john heilemann live for us there from mexico city john thank you. colombia is on the verge of passing 400000 coronavirus cases despite months of restrictions the mayor of the capital bogota is expected to announce a partial lockdown across several districts starting on friday the outbreak has killed more than $13000.00 people latin america is the current epicenter of the pandemic new zealand's largest city will go back into lockdown in a few hours time earlier on tuesday oakland report of the country's 1st community transmission of the virus in more than 100 days by minister has ordered major businesses to shut it leave all 3 your ass to stay at home in your bubble other

corners on safety and effectiveness as well and that could put us all in danger. until the w.h.o. give the vaccine the green light this is not a race russia can claim to have won charlie and al jazeera britain and france are working on a new plan to stop growing numbers of boats carrying refugees and migrants across the english channel britain's immigration minister made the announcement as he held talks in paris hundreds of people including unaccompanied children have been intercepted during the past week. we had a very constructive meeting with afferent colleagues in paris this morning we have reaffirmed our unshakable shared commitment to making sure this route of crossing the channel is made on viable it is facilitated by ruthless criminal gangs it puts lives at risk and it is totally unnecessary we have worked on i joint operational plan i revised the new operational plan with the objective in mind of completely
