take a listen at their own chance at alexander sorry the the president president to leave let's just take a listen. well opposition leaders fat lot of the kind of sky who is currently in lithuania has called for more people to come out over the weekend so we do expect to see more scenes like this over the course of the next few days we'll be covering that for you here on al-jazeera. when i'm moving to protest as in lebanon where they've been calling for an independent international investigation into the beirut port blast that killed more than 200 people 2 weeks ago but the leader of hezbollah hassan nasrallah says he wouldn't trust the findings of such an inquiry. and i'm going. to have that hizbollah who will not be conducting an investigation or making

accusations we will wait for the official lebanese investigation but if the f.b.i.'s participating in israel is related to the attack you will not be able to reach anything if lebanon accept an international investigation the 1st objective of such investigation will be to absolve israel from any responsibility for the explosion if it is responsible well iran's foreign minister has criticized western countries for demanding political change in lebanon as a condition for providing financial aid to the country jobs or reef is the latest high profile figure to visit beirut as attention now turns to recovery and reconstruction stephanie decker reports. a french navy ship with more than 700 soldiers docks in beirut shattered port here to help rebuild a broken city. you know if we don't have so many days there are humanitarian emergency challenges and there will be future challenges of reconstruction but there are also challenges on the political side

a government capable of taking courageous decisions will be necessary and finally there are also economic challenges to get out of this crisis major reforms will be needed. france's defense minister went on to meet the lebanese leadership the french have taken a leading role here in the off tomorrow of the catastrophic explosion and here at the same time the u.s. undersecretary of state for political affairs together with the u.s. ambassador to lebanon here too and clearly a very busy diplomatic day hirani and foreign minister giving his opinion on who should choose lebanon's next government. we believe that the government and the people of lebanon should decide on the country should not abuse the tragic needed to to ation of lebanon with those big conditions. but many here don't see their presence that way i think this for them paul was. you know are taking advantage of this catastrophic event but that but that happened and with

a week ago or 10 days ago in order to leverage their position and lebanon and egypt as well to advance their political interests i think they are in for one shot and setting up the political agenda in the country because you know the country's political faction are interrelated or they have nation support these foreign powers and as diplomats negotiate what the next government will look like the people of beirut are having to come to terms of what's happened to their city what's happened to their homes and for those who've lost everything just having to get through the day it's volunteers that are doing most of the work here any official help is notably absent and whatever the next government may look like many people will tell you nothing will change and justice for all of this will never come. stephanie decker al-jazeera be right well let's get a live update now from bernard smith who is also in beirut bernard when we smoked in those 1st few days after the blast you with people trying to put their homes

back together in any kind of help from the government was then conspicuously absent has that changed since. no any help from the government is still conspicuously absent in its place n.g.o.s such as the one i'm standing next to met sound song from they've set up a covert testing station here there's been a spike of covert case in lebanon since the explosion 7700 active cases since friday according to the wealth. will help organization there is other facilities meeting made available this clinic chronic health conditions being given medication people asking for all sorts of things nappies baby formula which they calm here and around all the shells of those buildings hit by the blast much of the glass has been cleaned off the streets. but there is still enormous need here

the u.n. has launched an appeal for $3585000000.00 in aid and he says there are 4 main areas it's targeting to begin with the u.n. and its partners food security health shelter and education those are the priorities the u.n. its partners say immediate provisions of hot food rations and grain not something they need funding for and families that will also be given cash to pay the shelter there were some 300000 people a thing left home about 70000 homes damaged or destroyed a lot of people were taken in by friends or cousins relatives elsewhere in the country some by neighbors some of been given accommodation won't last forever so they'll be given funding to help cover the cost of their own homes or to restore many of the home it's accuse them of lebanon's older buildings will need to be

destroyed about 60 heritage buildings according to unesco are under threat from collapsing and as soon as the 1st phase of recovery. the u.n. says they want to move as quickly as possible to phase 2 which is recovery and reconstruction and bombs lebanese that form from the economy to help rebuilding maybe as much as 30000000000 dollars needed to rebuild this it's found its myth or our correspondent on the ground in beirut thank you very much bennett well as bennett was saying much of the focus in lebanon is now on rebuilding both a damaged city and a damaged economy the u.n. and aid organizations have just launched a $565000000.00 appeal to help estimated costs of recovery in beirut go as high as $15000000000.00 the u.n. says 6 hospitals 20 clinics and $120.00 schools were also damaged and lebanon was already under serious economic strain before the blast inflation was soaring the

cost of basic goods was rising and now its health system is facing added pressure at a time of a global pandemic the u.n. says host of the coven 1000 infections in the country diagnosed just in the past 2 weeks alone well let's now speak to not rushdie she's the un resident and humanitarian coordinator for lebanon she joins us now on skype from beirut not that i know this is a very busy time thank you for being with us it's now been more than 10 days since the blast that we start by asking you about your priorities at this stage i know you've been distributing tents of aid kits but to people even have places to erect them. well thank you very much you know we came up with the emergency buried his which is related to the life saving a humanitarian relief and i was covering the food security they had this shelter are the access to water with protection as a cross campaign issue. a lot of focus was of course on the heavy system because of

what you already does a some are very important hospitals were completely destroyed and there was a need for really very ringback important help those services to treat actually the injured and you know that there are there has been more than 6000 injured in design in this blast and that was our our our our objective now i'm our focus now moving from the lifesaving humanitarian to some kind of early recovery and starting rehab be taking our damaged health facilities so mikey's and essentially medication because you know for example because of the explosion of the wards a lot of the chronic diseases are a medicine and we're also completely destroyed so it's a way actually to prepare the ground for more her social and economic recovery and for reconstruction and if we are starting already the you know thinking about it

and asking people about that which is actually come in that because we don't want the military assistance is to stay there forever and we would like to make sure that the assistance that is provided is not only for the images you but also to help the lebanese people to go back on their feet it's not i don't want to get to reconstruction and just a moment but before that i do want to ask but it's been showing us around some of the damage hospitals over the last few days and you talked about the damage to health facilities that we've seen we are now hearing about this potential 2nd wave of covert that this huge spike in cases that we've seen over the last 2 weeks how do you even begin to try to tackle something like that when there is no infrastructure. we have never stopped actually addressing that and there are now a number of more by units which actually are tweeny with the hospital to treat and address the coded cases i mean it's not a surprise that the numbers are increasing because of course

a lot of the british are very and the precaution gotto that who are there before are were completely gone are doing i mean the day of the blast and developing days you know people were really coming ghar and coming places in hospitals were looking for their loved ones and indeed in those you present as it's very difficult to respect actually order measures it is in our priority and we keep it as a barrier a.t.m. actually for example part of the emergency response was also to procure addition on could be eased. the ventilator is one in terms and that was part of that in any response last week this week we have been really helping and supporting the side are some of the by and i totally ed that the government's got a 2 or 2 or buyout by like so corp and just getting out of the can't best city of them all by units 2 to address carbon 19 we don't need that on top of all the

craze as you mentioned the social prizes you mentioned the economy prizes a blast you see even leading to a really very soon is and tragic humanitarian crisis * so we need our absolutely not to forget that cookie in 1000 he's still in the importance right here in indiana. as bernard referred to your fate is your plan i believe is broken down into a number of different phases so the 1st one right now with the humanitarian phase and the 2nd one on reconstruction there have been a huge number of red flags raised over the transparency of that aid rollout that the potential corruption there how do you plan to tackle that is there a plan in place. well i mean we have somehow in the in the phase one we have to let's say 2 can go on and there is the deadline to save me maybe 10 relief and that's was last week and we started this week really putting together or what is needed for the early recovery for the reconstruction and this is this is there are

number of structure are 2 issues that we need to address which i'm not only related actually to the impact of the blast but also some gaps in terms of infrastructure in terms of songs from the social services you have addressed of course the governments issue which is related to corruption but also a number of 3 forms related to a fine and a system we are we have started working with the world bank and with the european union this is part of a 2 part that agreement you have between the 3 is situation to come up with a basel disaster and a social cohesion kind of as as many as their results are and ongoing damage assessment and we should be able to have a clear idea about the needs by the 20th of august based on that they will be parties ation of the different of the different reconstruction restore rationed there will be air and mix between because friends who have research but who are not

talking about the reconstruction the physical reconstruction of the infrastructure it's um so related so sort of protections for safety nets to access to electricity it's access to water it's access to have so the result lot of that needs to be addressed and obviously are why at the working level who are also working with some of the ministries at these those who are involved and it is very much an independent assessment that is going on is that not a rushed a that the un resident and humanitarian coordinator for lebanon we do wish you all the best with the humanitarian situation and what's to follow thank you very much for being with us here on out of there. thank you very much well there is plenty more ahead here on this news hour including. the violent demonstrations in ivory coast to protest the president's decision to seek a bad town. and spoke with haiti's at the pace ahead coming along i'm sure that's

coming out. now iran will be able to stop buying conventional weapons again in october after the u.s. failed to get a 13 year ban extended just one other nation back to the u.n. security council iran says the u.s. has never been so isolated but the white house is threatening to find other ways to bring back sanctions from new york christensen even reports. it was a quick an unceremonious and to the united states efforts to extend the iranian arms embargo that is out of that would be if their families don't want to favor what's against 11 f. abstentions the draft resolution has not been a doctor every failure being very quiet numbers in a statement u.s.

secretary of state mike pompei o called it an inexcusable failure saying quote the security council paved the way for the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism to buy and sell conventional weapons without specific u.n. restrictions in place for the 1st time in over a decade. under an agreement negotiated by the 5 permanent members of the security council and germany aimed at stopping iran from developing nuclear weapons the 13 year old ban on conventional weapons sales is due to expire in october russia and china accusing the us of undermining the deal had threatened to veto the resolution but didn't have to the dominican republic was the only other countries to vote for it well it's a diplomatic pastorally it just demonstrates that. president trump and his team are not only bad at the strategy of approaching iran they're bad at just the day to day tactics of diplomacy it is unconscionable that they couldn't round up more than one

vote for a resolution like this the u.s. has threatened to trigger the return of all international sanctions on iran through a snapback provision written into the nuclear deal but other members of the security council say the u.s. lost the right to do that when it withdrew from the deal 2 years ago europeans are warning of adverse consequences for the security council if a legal dispute over snapback ensues for them preventing iran from getting a nuclear weapon remains paramount kristen salumi al-jazeera the united nations well iran's president hassan rouhani described the outcome of that u.n. security council vote as a humiliation defeat for the u.s. better yeah but. the u.s. has worked for months to prepare a resolution to his iran and it could only get one vote supporting it from a small country the dominican republic you see how they've been humiliated the reason the 11 countries abstained in 2 voted against it was because they believe

the preservation of the j.c. pure way is essential for the interests of the region and the world yesterday was a political achievement for iran and a political failure for the u.s. well let's speak to afshan shah he is a senior lecturer in middle east politics and the division of peace studies and international development at university of bradford and he joins us now from london this vote in the security council not a surprise tehran is obviously treating this as a win over the us but we are seeing washington threaten to trigger. mechanism which would have serious consequences for terror on can you explain that process for us and if it's actually possible for the us to do that. the problem is mr trump wants it's k. and eat it too and this is exactly what is happening with this you know as you mentioned yourself about a couple of years ago the united states for a combination of peace and decided to leave the earth and naturally once you if you

want to leave big deal you no longer can benefit from its existing legal instrument over the last 5 or 6 months the united states may actually be its number one signature policy in the middle east literally last out of town the number of trips mr biden made around the globe in order to persuade a minute or non members of the security council to to vote for it but in the end as we saw yesterday on the dominican republic but to side with the u.s. even britain which is still in search of a desirable course spoke to deal with the us actually decided to adopt a new trial position which is quite telling and which of extremely embarrassing and humiliating or or the united states but given the fact that actually 50 feet is so he mediating i've been much doubt that this form of before the election is going to

basically give in and give up and without any doubt the big to take your measure of that as the problem if they going to use this kind of stuff. but i think that you know unfortunately as i said you know dart a lot of their limitations all the existing members of the have made it very clear that the u.s. no longer has the right to to use legal mechanics and what they said i very much doubt that if chop is going to take no as an answer. and they're going to use that mainly or month to push better for it while the europeans are really not thrilled about this and they've been clear they want to save the new idea tehran though has also been very critical of them suggesting that they're not actually doing enough and i really was even on the phone to micron this week about it is this vote enough of a declaration of solidarity had to try to preserve the deal. i don't think this is a declaration of the with ron in any sense of that even britain made it very clear

that the arsenic stream the concern about iranian foreign policy they are extremely concerned about so many other issues that you know they probably agree with the united states when it comes to iran but britain decided to side with an ally. for them at the moment the most important objective at least for the remaining months of the president from presidency is basically preserving this deal with the whole that maybe maybe if there is a new president in the white house for 5 months 9 they can. revitalize the game over the last basically since 2008 the european powers more or less they maintain their consistent message that they really on so many other issues with the united states when it comes to your alien missile program when it comes to iranian foreign policy in the region when it comes to violation of human rights inside iran

was when it comes to this is sticky issue preservation of the deal the europeans seem to be very consistent and that has created a almost unprecedented kind of gap between between europe and the united states in my opinion basically this issue has been the single most important disagreement between europe and washington over the last 3 or 4 years ashton showerhead a senior lecturer at the university of bradford great get your insights and thoughts here on out of there thanks for being with us action. well it is now time for the weather and rob is going to tell us about all the monsoons we're seeing any stage yes the station monsoons to still folding of course still raining believe orientation is change so if you look behind me the satellite picture is this sort of angle we're looking at. in line for the whitest cloud at least in the headwaters the yangtze yangtze of course has flooded this entire year down his entire length

hello there i'm mr that's remind you of our top stories here this hour thousands of people have gathered in minsk for a new day of protests against bellary says disputed presidential election they continue demands for political change come as a funeral is held for a man killed during the rally. iran will be able to start buying conventional weapons again in october after the u.n. security council overwhelmingly rejected washington's bid to indefinitely extended arms embargo on terror. in the united nations has launched an over 500000000 dollar aid appeal to help with ports explosion recovery efforts in beirut lebanon was already under severe economic strain before the promised. turning to the coronavirus pandemic and russia says it's begun manufacturing its new vaccine for

private 19 an initial batches will be rolled out within 2 weeks doctors will be the 1st to be immunized before the general public the gum away institute which has developed the drugs says it will produce 5000000 doses by december russia's coronavirus vaccine said to be the 1st to be approved in the wild is raising concerns about safety. now british tourists have been scrambling to return home after the u.k. imposed a 14 day quarantine for travelers coming from the netherlands malta and fronts that measure which went into effect early on saturday was introduced off to a surge in corona virus infections in those countries or fronts as a popular vacation spot for a huge u.k. holiday makers it's the 2nd most visited country off to spain correspondent rory chalons joins us now from london from pancras international train station rory so many brits were in fronts this week do we know how many made it back in time.

it's difficult to put exact figures on it certainly we know that maybe about half a 1000000 brits are affected in total perhaps 860000 on a holiday in france this week how many of them made it back not sure if it is certainly in the in in the 10s of thousands we would have thought. that that last minutes. planned change to get back home they were given a little over 24 hours perhaps 30 hours by the british government a lot of people very angry at that short notice. change their plans booking train tickets real booking ferry to kate's booking plane tickets extensive alterations to holidays cars in some cases very short indeed accounts in the media at the moment of people who literally just a ride to france had to turn around the company again with their families as well

accounts of people on ferries. which were due to dock that's just a few minutes to the deadline of 3 g.m.t. this morning would they make it back in time what counts to go constituted as being back home did the budget actually have to dock was it just didn't u.k. waters apparently does have to dock can be properly morse to. to jesse to const sheep being back home but yes a lot of anger i think in the country at the moment that the government gave so many people so little time to make very expensive changes to their holidays and rory we saw something similar happen with spain what happens to the people who missed this deadline. well if you if you're coming back now and the people who may be milling around the backgrounds coming out of the international train station they've missed the deadline so. they will have to sell for unseen for 14 days now that can have big impacts on people's lives i

mean you know going on holiday is not a god given right so employers have been saying to their employees well you know if you've missed that deadline then i'm afraid your core and see perhaps is going to have to be paid leave there's also the question of what happens to families coming back having score and seeing with you know the start of school just a couple of weeks away is if you're coming back in a few days time and you have to see 14 days and some children inevitably i could be missing the start of the school year and considering that much of last the last document the damage here was completely disrupted that's obviously going to have an impact on education etc so yeah this is going to be something that affects people's lives again cos the impact some on people's wallets and how they go about it it's very lives for a talons their life for us in king's cross in london thank you very much for. parun
