the former prime minister najib mikati serving as his advisor from 2000 to 2004 he was part of the committee in charge of writing lebanon's new electoral law in 20052006 he acted as chief of cabinets in 20 level al jazeera as they know how to reports from beirut. he was not well known to the public until now most of a db has been chosen to form lebanon's next government the former ambassador to germany is promising change at a time of deep crisis where we will choose a ministerial team with expertise and competency will also carry out quick reforms that will put the country on the path to recovery and end the dangerous financial economic and social bleeding was the father got the majority of votes during parliamentary consultations the post is reserved for a son a muslim and the country secretary and based governing system that is why support

from former prime minister assad had 80 who had the largest sunni bloc was essential to maintain national unity factions from a divided political landscape came together before the arrival of french president a man while mccall. the country needs to embrace the initiative of president macron because the french president is working with the international community to lift lebanon from underneath the rubble mccall returns to beirut less than a month after visiting the lebanese capital 2 days after the devastating port explosion he has become a main power broker in the political crisis leading efforts to persuade politicians to fight state corruption and push through reforms needed for an international monetary fund bailout plan. for. or by france.

or has. for the next. in his 1st act in office the new prime minister did what no lebanese official has done visited the neighborhoods damaged in the explosion we gaining the trust of the people won't be easy many accuse the political class who. pointed a deep for decades of corruption and unsafely storing explosive material after port . unlike his predecessor has. resigned in the aftermath of the august before explosion has the support from the majority of political forces but like a db could be held hostage by a political establishment that has been reluctant to carry out state reforms that could threaten their interests but this time they may have little choice the state is close to collapse and the international community says there won't be blank

checks in the words of the new prime minister lebanon doesn't have time and this may be its last opportunity to save itself. boot hamas has announced it has reached an agreement with israel to end the latest excavation of violence in the region that hail was brokered by the cattery envoy mohamed el monte it comes as gaza struggles to cope with an outbreak of the coronavirus let's get more now from harry force that he's live in west jerusalem for us and harry what more do you know about this announcement. well it's all coming from the hamas side which is typical in these sorts of situations israel tends not to say anything about these announcements of the escalations or cease fires but according to israeli media there are israeli defense sources who are confirming what hamas is saying at least to the extent that there is an agreement what hamas says about this agreement is that it will stop its in century balloon launches an explosive balloon launches as well as that the what it calls its night time confusion operations were

groups go along the border fence and throw explosives and cause disruption and in return it says that israel is undertaking to go back to the previous collation situation which means allowing fisherman out into the mediterranean again from gaza's ports easing the restrictions of goods coming in which had been closed down just to humanitarian goods and food and medicine and also presumably the recent restoration of fuel supplies to gaza is only power station which has been lying idle for some 10 days now since the fuel supplies were cut off meaning that gaza only has about 3 to 4 hours of electricity per day and as you say they are also battling this corona virus outbreak the 1st community coronavirus outbreak since the start of the pandemic so these various things seem to have conspired to try to quell the situation as it stands with the mediation of the qatari and boy the

question is whether the infrastructure projects that hamas also says have been agreed to with some qatari funding whether they will now get off the ground because that was the sticking point that they said hadn't been followed through with previous such agreements that was why we saw a return to escalation so will that take place what they see see as vital economic change making infrastructure projects labor creation projects inside the gaza strip with the latest there in west jerusalem. now joe biden has called donald trump a toxic presence in the u.s. in his 1st campaign event since accepting the democratic nomination for president he urged americans to remove poison from politics of a selection we've arrived in a moment in this campaign with all new including the press in front of me do we get

to. the moment when donald trump would be so desperate to do anything to hold on to power dollar chop has been a toxic presence in our nation for 4 years. how we talk to one. poison how we treat one another. poisoned the values this nation has always held dear. poison our very democracy. now is a little over 60 days we have a decision to make. will we rid ourselves of this toxin or will we make a permanent part we make it a permanent part of our nation's character on our white house correspondent kelly how he joins us life now can be a very powerful speech touching on many themes particularly talking of the donald trump but what's the key one was all americans really safe on the trump projecting

idea that trump is a lord what a president. what i think we've got here now is a tit for tat going on between the 2 presidential candidates there's no question that this was a very powerful strong speech by joe biden responding to some of the charges in recent days by president trump namely when donald trump asked our american safe under joe biden if he becomes president to that joe biden responded that the violence that we're seeing playing out on many streets in the united states is happening right now under donald trump's watch so he spoke 2 very forcefully about that accusing donald trump of stoking the violence stoking hate providing it a safe harbor and also saying that there's really no way that donald trump can stop the violence that's happening in the united states because he is fomenting it so the claims by joe biden are essentially that donald trump's presidential campaign

is floundering that because of coronavirus his plan to run reelection on a strong u.s. economy has fallen apart given the fact that there are 30000000 americans out of work and as a result is this his last grasp seizing on this law in order message when law and order is what he does not have control of according to joe biden yeah and given it was such a strong speech kimberly are we expecting the president to respond to. he's already responded on twitter because donald trump likes to get the last word already accusing biden of blaming the police for the problem and blaming them more then the rioters and the looters that donald trump is blaming what he's also said is that essentially joe biden doesn't have the guts he didn't use the word guts but implying that to blame this on anti far sort of these far left elements to be fair

actually biden blamed it on far right elements so both men are kind of politicizing this in order to try and score political points in the midst of all of this so it's really clear that what's happened is that both sides are seizing on these protests for political gain but donald trump is hoping to capitalize that on that even more today and get the last word not only as he responded on twitter he's also holding a briefing today at 2130 g.m.t. and then on tuesday he goes to connote wisconsin why is that important that is the city where jacob blake was shot in the back 7 times the african-american man shot by a white police officer he now is in a hospital bed paralyzed of course we saw the protests for the police brutality and concerns about it this prevalence of it in the united states so the governor there has said look at donald trump we've just got things under control please don't come you're only going to inflame tensions the white house saying he's going regardless

and that what he wants to do a survey the damage and meet with police so some very mixed views about whether or not this is a good idea for donald trump to go clearly he wants to get the last word not happy with the criticisms from joe biden responding on twitter having a press briefing and now plenty to go to commercial wisconsin even though he's been asked not to complete with ice is that from the white house thank you. or the breaking news out of venezuela now where the president nicolas maduro has just part of moving 50 opposition politicians and activists ahead of parliamentary elections in december along latin america editor lucien human following that story from santiago jones one fine line now leigh sales what more do you know about this. well this is what we were expecting to see president magruder release at least one or 2 political prisoners he had released on friday one of the perhaps the most emblematic one of them all one break a sense but now 50 that is a lot and we're talking about just about all of the opposition deputies the top

tier of the opposition parties who have gone most of them into exile or into hiding inside have been his way law as well as some political prisoners but conspicuously missing from the list of those that are have been pardoned is one guy is on himself the opposition leader who is a self-proclaimed president and recognized by more than 50 countries as the interim president of venezuela also coolio barcus another. opposition leader who is in exile and they were pulled a lot this these are the ones that have been accused of tyranny betrayal of the nation and a whole array of other crimes by the magruder government so there are not of this but what we're seeing here clearly is an effort by the government to dangle a major carrot in front of the militias of opposition parties or of or some opposition leaders at least of that they will take part in parliamentary elections that are due to be held this here why is this important at this time because the

one go eyeball has managed to get most of if not all of the all of the major opposition parties to agree to boycott that election in fact that the gratian that came out just earlier today with most of these parties signing on to his call for a major boycott of the election and calls for the international community to help. you didn't use the word get rid of that basically helped push out nicole last mughal and not recognize elections that are being considered fraudulent before they've even taken place by many in the international community and certainly in the opposition in venezuela or a very interesting development there in venezuela you see and you've been keeping us up to date with that story thanks lisa. a still had sold the program the worst is yet to come and he reports into australia's recent bush says expect more frequent and intense not hold his office in the coming decade.
