7:02 pm
well our correspondent anahata is outside parliament in beirut for us on the ground there in the last hour we've seen these clashes escalate in that area between protesters and the or thirty's can you talk us through what's happened. oh yes the anti-establishment protesters gathered a few hours ago here at martyr square the epicenter of a protest movement that began in october and some of them tried to storm the vicinity of the area around parliament square as you can see the square is now cleared from protesters because security forces are using excessive amounts of tear gas and a lot of a lot of security forces as well as army personnel are out in force you can see them in the distance and they're still using tear gas to ensure that the square is cleared we've seen scenes like this over and over again in recent months
7:03 pm
frustration anger with the ruling elite many people feel frustrated they feel that their voices are not being heard that there is no other way to confront those in power apart from the use of force they believe that they tried to through through parliament they they they tried through peaceful protests but nothing has changed so today just like in other locations in recent weeks they try to storm parliament building they believe parliament is does not represent the people that those in power are corrupt politicians and that they should be held to account so again tension in the streets of beirut and you mentioned the french president in the country trying to persuade leaders to carry out much needed reforms and to fight corruption in order to be eligible for for international aid and just a day after a prime minister was appointed
7:04 pm
a new prime minister the people who came here who gathered on the square earlier today. said believe that the new prime minister is just a product of the old system he may be a little known and he has no connection to any political party but he was. he was appointed by the political class which has been governing this country for for decades really well as you say of course this is all happening as maclin as in town i see on a schedule that he's meeting with political representatives today and he's obviously already been very vocal about his calls for political reform even though there is a new prime minister designate that hasn't satisfied him. well yes. micron is here's me we're just going to have to move a bit from here as you can see the army and security forces are our have managed to clear the square there's no longer protesters here yes i am on one mccraw hit the 2nd time he's been in beirut and in less than
7:05 pm
a month he visited lebanon just 2 days after the beirut airport explosion he promised the lebanese people that the world the international community would not abandon them and that they would help them get through this this latest calamity really because the country before the beirut explosion was a ready facing a precedent that financial and economic crisis what he's been telling the people is that you elected these these leaders i did not elect them i cannot replace them all we can do is put pressure on the ruling elite to carry out reforms that he did say that the coming weeks are going to be very critical because if the ruling elite does not carry out the necessary reforms then he did threaten sanctions sanctions on the ruling class so carrot and stick kron saying back to up here to intervene or interfere in the internal affairs of the of the lebanese.
7:06 pm
in lebanese politics but there is no doubt there's mixed messages on his visit so you can see some stand their ground in the face of power it's people are frustrated they feel that they've lost everything what he's chanting is revolutionaries revolutionaries we will continue our struggle just to one man now standing holding the lebanese flag which has come really to symbolize this protest movement of people trying to speak in one voice in a deeply divided nation in a country plagued by political and sectarian. visions for such a long time so it's very symbolic to say this man's found his ground and people here. but but they're up against the militarized state as you
7:07 pm
can imagine oh i'm sorry it's very hard to speak with with easier than a thank you so much for that update you can see that take us there we will be hearing from french president emmanuel mack on very short he will be bringing you that live here on al-jazeera then a lot of al correspond on the streets of beirut thanks so much and please do stay safe well moving on now and u.s. president donald trump is on his way to commercial despite appeals by city's leaders to stay away from fifa unrest the police shooting of an unarmed black man jacob lake has sparked anger in that city in wisconsin blake has been left paralyzed after being shot 7 times in the back tensions remain high following protests and violent clashes but the president says he's visiting the city to highlight his law and order campaign one of the reasons i'm making that trip today and going to wisconsin is we've had such a big success in shutting down what would be right now
7:08 pm
a city that would have been you know share a city that would have been burned to the ground by now. we're going to really say how did law enforcement and the national guard and it all stopped immediately upon the national guard's arrival so you know the easy to stop i saw last night where these radical anarchists were trying to. get into the mayor's house and lots of bad things were happy were foolish very stupid there. well we have our correspondent john hendren standing by for us with all the latest from commercial with the president is usually arrive very shortly but 1st let's be trial white house correspondent can be how that she's in washington d.c. can be as we've been saying despite joe biden's challenge to president trump to condemn the acts of violence we've seen by his supporters and the political right he really hasn't done that. well the u.s. president issued a challenge essentially to joe biden just now if he spoke from the tarmac on his
7:09 pm
way to connote she was constant what he also is doing is blaming the media for what the president sees essentially a selective reporting saying that the media is fueling the social unrest in the rioting in wisconsin in portland and other places around the united states and he believes that it's a disservice to the country what he's saying there what he is alleging is that the media is seizing upon opportunities or missteps that have taken place on the part of trump's supporters but they are less likely in his view to report on the missteps of those that commit acts of violence on the left so what he's talking about is the house a man who we could go shot to left wing protesters in wisconsin the president accusing the media of publicizing that but not publicizing as much in his view the attack and what the president called the execution of
7:10 pm
a trump supporter at the rallies than subsequently violence in portland oregon so this is what the president is alleging he's also saying that he will not back down in his approach of law and order he believes he is a law and order president he says this is not just white communities that want this heavy handed approach but also he says communities of color including black and hispanic families kim as you say no one when it clearly an issue we're going to get lots of discussion about heading towards november both candidates trying to show they are very strong on that front but with very different approaches from both men . different approaches but in some ways similar approaches what we saw from joe biden as he made his speech about 24 hours ago from pittsburgh pennsylvania is the gloves are off and these men in some ways are very similar in that they take kind of a common man approach to confronting so we're in for
7:11 pm
a wild ride as we approach the last 63 days of this u.s. election it's very clear that both of these men are saying that they will not tolerate the violence condemning it in the case of joe biden but take a very different approaches to trying to resolve it in the case of the u.s. president he in particular is pushing again the national guard saying that he will send in the national guard but to be clear it is governors that must request it the president even striking a fight with the governor of wisconsin where he's headed socially saying that he was the one that suggested that the police need to go in whereas the governor says no i was the one that asked for it can be held at their our white house correspondent in washington d.c. thank you very much kelly well let's now go to a camp he was referring to in wisconsin where john hendren as live for us john as we've been saying we know the president wanted to come the governor didn't want him
7:12 pm
to come he's still going ahead with his business what kind of a welcome should he expect. that's right the best way to guarantee that donald trump will come somewhere is to have democrats ask him not to the president is coming within the hour and we know a couple of things he plans on seeing some of the damage that the fires here in connecticut have caused and then later on he goes to a police command center but i just want to show you a little of what he might see this is the uptown neighborhood across the street you can see those boarded up buildings or have been fire bombed inside that whole block looks like that and if you just. look over here this used to be a mattress shop and it is now just utter rubble and to the left here you can see him and cleaning up after what used to be a danish community center and that is the kind of thing the president is likely to
7:13 pm
see here as he talks about his law and order message he may be meeting with the pastor of the mother of jacob blake's mother jacob blake of course being the young man who was shot 7 times in the back by police and remains paralyzed in the hospital but he will not be meeting with the blake family as you say he won't be meeting with the bank blake family but i see that the family themselves have decided they want to have some kind of a peaceful gathering what kinds of gatherings should we be expecting today to to greet donald trump. will there will be an anti trump rally trump arrives within the hour or an hour after that or within an hour after that there's going to be a rally in the town square that's where most of the protesting have gone on we've seen a plane here telling people to vote against trump so there's going to be somewhat of a hostile reception but interestingly there are
7:14 pm
a number of trump supporters here the voted for president trump in 2016 switched and voted for the democratic governor in 2800 so he has supporters here and we have bumped into them but i think what he what he needs when he goes down town if he's going to be hearing any of these protesters in the street they're not going to be happy to see him. john hendren that in knesset wisconsin will bring you all the latest from that trip here on out is there thank you for now john. now the french satirical weekly charlie hebdo is to republic controversial cartoons of the prophet muhammad it's marking a trial juz a start on wednesday of 14 alleged accomplices to an attack on the magazine's headquarters back in 201512 people were killed including some of france's most celebrated cartoonists the cartoons of the prophet muhammad were 1st printed by the magazine in 2006 and caused anger across the muslim world. i saw as leader in

7:16 pm
strip since the start of the pandemic trying to do so under the current situation or the previous situation with these very restrictive punitive measures imposed by israel in terms of reducing the fishing area down to 0 not allowing any diesel in for the only power station in the strip was becoming pretty much untenable and so that was the opportunity one which most recently was seized upon by the qatari envoy hamas is saying that that that was the that the most recent bit of mediation that came through with this deal and under its terms we've seen the fishing zone reopened although fishermen can't go out because of the coded restrictions gaza is under complete lockdown crucially there will be diesel coming in so the electricity situation is due to go up from 3 to 4 hours followed by 16 to 20 hours without electricity to an 8 hours on 8 hours of patent $27000000.00 worth of qatari money
7:17 pm
coming into the strip as well what's more controversial and potentially more important in terms of the longevity of this deal are the other things that hamas is demanding in terms of interest infrastructure projects such as water treatment plants and industrial zone things which will crucially if they go ahead create jobs in an area which is so beset by poverty and unemployment. hostel ahead of you here on al-jazeera how to get u.k. businesses back on track threats are being encouraged to return to the office but millions are not social. workers. hello typhoon maize x. already cost some wind damage in okinawa it's still strengthening was almost at its
