the muses on me and i got there also for scene 3 of the day they're both very. real changes made their way to the life stuff that people. on leave in. on are just. calling for reforms french president emanuel not crawl is in lebanon a day after most of a dba is named the new prime minister. i know about this and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up israel and hamas reach an agreement to reduce weeks of violence along the israel gaza border which includes opening

a main crossing. pardoned by the president venezuela's nicolas maduro friens dozens of political opponents but critics say it's only to legitimize the next election. plus hong kong launches a mass covert testing program but many are staying away because they're worried china may use it to crackdown on activists. french president emanuel not home is urging the quick formation of a new lebanese government to steer the country out of its deep political and economic crisis he's calling it the last chance for lebanon's system visiting the beirut port for the 2nd time since that explosion killed almost 200 people and left hundreds of thousands homeless well somebody was named prime minister just hours before home landed on monday let's go live to al-jazeera xina holder in beirut this

is a very good 2nd visit by in my own back home as we saying very quickly after the 1st one what message is he sending here. well fronts and mccrone really is the protecting power projecting influence the political message is that we are the main power brokers in this crisis he landed in beirut just 2 days after that massive explosion at beirut airport he offered support to the lebanese people and he scolded the political leadership telling them there is a need for radical change and i will return to follow this up to push for the much needed reforms in order for levanon to be eligible for much needed foreign aid and mccraw himself chose the date that he chose to return to levon on september 1 hundredth anniversary of the declaration of the state of greater lebanon a state that was declared by france back in 1920 france's the former colonial power

in love with so you can see the symbolism here he wasn't invited to return on september 1 he chose to return on this day so the message he is giving to those in power is that france is now calling the shots he's also giving a message to 2 countries which hold much more influence than france and lebanon and that is the united states and iran those 2 countries have local allies their rivalry on the international scale on the international stage excuse me is being played out in lebanon what mccraw is saying is that i can mediate zain when we saw michael michael on his 1st visit shortly after the explosion he was greeted very warmly by many people in beirut but all our people in lebanon prepared to have gone so deeply involved in their politics. mixed feelings it depends who you speak to yes for many he came as a he was a savior when he 1st arrived on august the 6th he did what no lebanese officials

did really or do is that visit that this disaster stricken neighborhoods talk to the people who were affected by this explosion promise them that he will work for change following the appointment of the new prime minister yesterday a lot of people feel that there was some sort of an international deal that france appointed the new prime minister that france is ready to work with the political class that people have been demanding that they leave office that they are toppled because they're responsible for so much corruption and mismanagement in the country but macross response to them has been is we cannot interfere in lebanon's political affairs these people were elected officials but what we can do is demand for fundamental change tell them that they're not getting billions of dollars to revive the economy if they don't carry out much needed reforms to the states and fight corruption and as well mccrone pointing out to the possibility of sanctions so a crime using the carrot and stick but mixed reactions in lebanon on what he can do although of course as emmanuel mocking his visit continues in the next few hours we

will be checking in with you but for now as it is in a hotel in beirut thank you very much indeed. hamas says it's reached an agreement with israel to end the latest escalation of violence along the border with gaza the deal was brokered by qatar and this comes as people in gaza continue to struggle under severe coronavirus restrictions a ban on fuel deliveries and lengthy power cuts are a force that is live for us in west jerusalem what more do we know about this deal 1st of all. well certainly it seems to be a confluence of interests on both sides obviously israel want to see an end to the in century and explosive balloons being launched across into israeli territory in the night time so-called disturbances along the border fence as well as some rocket fire that's been going on the last few weeks israel also occupied with it's you a deal in that the current delegation in abu dhabi and at the same time as you're saying inside gaza there is

$10000000.00 for poor families $100.00 to each poor family in that round of money and another $10000000.00 to purchase the fuel that will be restoring the power station from a situation where there's been maybe 3 or 4 hours of electricity per day or at least over a large part of the day to no more planned timetable at least of 8 hours on 8 hours off how he thanks very much has harry force at in the west or islam giving us the update on that agreement between hamas and israel. tears and jubilation in venezuela dozens of opposition politicians have walked free from prison after being pardoned by president nicolas maduro some have been accused of attempting to overthrow the government critics say it's all down to the elections in december a latin america at his house in yemen has more. after months and in many cases years of imprisonment opponents of president nicolas maduro were reunited with loved ones after receiving an unexpected pardon neuer in league in
