demanding political change lebanon was already struggling with its worst economic crisis in decades and a collapsing currency was talks over how to form a new government continue former lebanese prime minister saad hariri says political parties are ready to form a technocratic government. all political factions are aware in order to achieve this goal and bring our country back on track the upcoming government must be formed from among professionals with proven expertise efficiency and integrity such a government must be formed swiftly and present its plans at the earliest all political factions have declared their readiness to fully cooperate with such a government in order for the aspired reforms to be implemented swiftly. xina holder is joining us now from beirut saying why is it that so many parties seem ready to rally behind most of the. yes

a little known figure the lebanese ambassador to germany must. look set to be designated as the country's next prime minister this emerged last night what emerged last night is that the main political factions across the political spectrum have reached a deal how well that many will tell you that it is the pressure and the influence of france france exerted a lot of pressure the french president manuel mccrone is expected in beirut later tonight he was in beirut less than a month ago just 2 days after that beirut explosion he talked about the need for fundamental change he talked about the need of a new political order so there are many who believe that behind the scenes france really exerted a lot of pressure on these politicians who really had little choice because the country the state this close to bankruptcy if they were to remain in power it's unclear that they can solve the economic crisis alone because they do need the support of the international community you heard the former prime minister sadat
10:07 am
heavy just a short while ago name his choice of candidate and really he was key to this whole process because he represents the muslims in the community in lebanon and the post of prime minister is reserved for this community unlike the previous government the prime minister was nominated by the shiite led alliance this time around sunday's named this man was the deed and the alliance as well as other parties said they will also follow suit but there's no question the question is in is the doesn't really matter who gets the job the challenges facing the prime minister and whatever government gets put in place are enormous in lebanon. yes billions of dollars are needed to kickstart the economy billions of dollars are needed to rebuild what was destroyed in that beirut port explosion but if indeed that was the house the support of the international community france really has been pushing for some sort of a deal then maybe lebanon will be able to reach
10:08 am
a deal with the international monetary fund on a bailout plan the previous government was unable to do it politicians 1st and foremost where really reluctant to carry out much needed economic and structural reforms because they would lose their influence over the state state institutions have been weak throughout decades state are controlled by the different political parties so right now there is they have really little choice but to cooperate with the international community if they're going to get that the money because as you know protests have been happening yes the numbers are quite small in the streets because people have been met by a militarized state and a lot of intimidation and arrests but the bottom line is that people get poorer and already more than 50 percent of the population live below the poverty line then you can expect more anger to spill onto the streets xenophobia reporting to us from beirut zana thank you very much indeed. well india says it's all what it's calling provocative military movements by chinese troops at
