he does look to research the interest of the few people in depth analysis of the day's global headlines inside story on al jazeera. al-jazeera. hello i'm rob matheson this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes a new political problem for lebanon the prime minister designate resigns after a month of pressure to form a new government. the frustration of protesters across egypt defying a ban to take their anger to the streets. the elections in a malaysian states that could have major national implications and affect the prime minister's future. and the conservative judge from chicago who could be the next
6:01 pm
u.s. supreme court justice donald trump prepares to name his replacement for ruth bader ginsburg. schools in injury time penalty to down rights and. when. the man chosen to be lebanon's next prime minister has resigned without ever forming a government most of all says he simply hasn't been able to get a cabinet of technocrats approved in a country where power is shared between different sects it sends the country back to square one and its search for stable governance in a quarter reports from beirut. it's been almost a month since most of a db was designated prime minister his job was to form a government independent of party loyalists after the previous cabinet resigned
6:02 pm
following the devastating explosion at the port of beirut last month it's not easy in lebanon where the same political elite accused of pushing the country to near bankruptcy have been in power for decades i realise that the agreement on the basis i accepted this national mission during this difficult time of lebanon's history no longer exists as well as that the government line up for dispositions that i put. a diva's mission was supported by france which has been leading international efforts to resolve lebanon's multiple crises by bringing change to the leadership president in mind where mccall said during his 2nd visit after the port blast that lebanese politicians agreed to form a cabinet by mid september the other movement and hezbollah backed by iran have been blamed for standing in the way of a deal by insisting on naming shia muslim representation in government a 1000000 hezbollah are part of the so-called march 8th alliance that currently control political power in the sectarian based system of government here the shia
6:03 pm
parties feel the other camp the march 14th alliance is carrying else a political coup against the results of the last election. but others say their loyalty to iran brings lebanon into the heart of the us iranian rivalry they are squeezed cornered instead of being them through his will on the border. their words their the borders of iran so basically yes that is in the core of the. iranian conflict much is in doubt for a country where more than 50 percent of its 5000000 people are officially poor the reforms the mandate by the international community to unlock financial assistance among them fighting corruption and it's likely. hard to implicate the political class that is why leaders resisted for years micron's roadmap however doesn't just
6:04 pm
set deadlines it warns of possible consequences this is a broke and broken nation not even the threat of western sanctions pushed politicians who are stronger than the state to give up power and agree to change some say the french initiative to save lebanon has died others say it can still be revived but the lebanese president did warn the country was going to hell if a government is not formed. beirut the name. of the lebanese center for policy studies and he's joining us by skype from beirut good to have you on the program sir given the fact that there are such strong influences within lebanese politics many of those fatah in fluency is was it naive to think that it was possible to form a government that was going to work for the people as opposed to trying to cement power. yeah as you mentioned i think the function was doomed from the start not only because of the regional and international intervention but also because of
6:05 pm
the french and the show and trusted this political class that had failed for that case to implement true forms and carrying out this economic recovery one we've seen that all kinds of pressures economic social political have failed to get those same political parties out of their thrones and have prevented them from being able to implement any kind of meaningful structural reforms that are entirely new that today considering the living conditions that all of those in lebanon are facing donald trump's u.s. administration imposed sanctions on to hezbollah allies earlier this month i mean how much of that has played into the demands of the protein in groups have been making now for digging in if you like the determination to have greater control over the cabinet and the government. well yeah i think the movement and hezbollah have been present and that's the main culprits behind the failure to form this government and use the sanctions by president truong. as a tool or
6:06 pm
a burning bargaining tool and their rhetoric to say that they're not getting their fair share. of the pie and that bargain and i think that they're seeing the way the tables the table what sat with this french and what the direction the country was heading going with such an initiative that they were going to be the most likely to risk losing a big part of their power and political influence especially after they had won such a big portion of parliament and last year's election and the 28th elections so all of these factors played on the sanctions were of course something that was utilized but i think there is the bigger picture to keep in mind here that this initiative was supposed to lay the economic foundations for a new kind of club and that has gone out of the strength here kind of system it's been relied upon and hezbollah felt like they were getting the short end of the stick if you want and so they were waiting and trying to buy time until the table
6:07 pm
is set and i'm honored that smart favorable to their interests we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that this change of government was really prompted in large part by the enormous protests and often violent protests that were done by the public by by people who were simply fed up with the level of corruption that they saw all they perceived in the government but also of course the countries in the middle of a coronavirus as we know the economy has been absolutely trashed is there anything that the people themselves can do to actually instigate another change to move this process forward given the fact that when it comes to the politicians it simply seems to stall. yeah exactly i mean there's been a lot of efforts that have been put in by lebanese society over the years since the start of the uprising on october 17th we've seen new labor unions and we've seen political organizations and group of activists become more experienced politically mature and build organizational structures now admittedly they're still in the very
6:08 pm
early stages of building this kind of. competent coalition that can have strong enough and fluent political class but this is not a fault of their own they been facing all kinds of sums from co-optation violence and intimidation so right now what we need support from the international community and recognizing better huge portion of the population rose against those political parties and continually treating this political class as a legitimate representative of the people is just flawed right now they've lost any kind of legitimacy and they can't claim to speak on the name of the people let alone a specific set we're going to get your thoughts on this not him we appreciate your time so thank you thank you for having. egyptians have turned out for more protests in defiance of a government ban they came out to voice their frustration about the economy poor
6:09 pm
living conditions and corruption at least 2 people are reported to have been killed on friday jamal schild reports. despite the threats of arrest or even death egyptians took to the streets in several areas across the country on friday. they dubbed it the friday of reach to demonstrate their opposition to the rule of opting for tough a c.c. and demand that he resigns. slogans like this say it's outloud don't be scared of sisi has to go and were heard in cairo's one neighborhood. in the giza governorates which has been the epicenter since protests began last sunday police and other security personnel were deployed in force. this latest wave of anti-government an anti military rule protests were triggered by cc's decision to demolish entire neighborhoods across egypt under the pretext that the homes were built illegally. these neighborhoods how some of the country's poorest communities who have already
6:10 pm
been suffering the brunt of a faltering economy unable to cope with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic according to the world bank 70 percent of all egyptians 70 percent live under either under poverty or on the brink of poverty that's a situation that's and hannibal add to that the social and political constraints just yesterday $150.00 appeared for the state security court i'm charges of terrorism because they were protesting in the street we know that terrorism charges in egypt are the ways in which the state clamps down on any bourses of dissent. there were calls to by former army contractor turned opposition figure mohamed ali now an exile for people to demonstrate with september 20th marking one year since similar demonstrations took place against c.c.s. rule let's see supporters. particularly those who control egypt's media will claim that these protests are marginal and largely and significant but the way in which
6:11 pm
the state is dealing with the protesters would suggest otherwise egypt is now witness 6 consecutive days of protests the slogans have all been demanding an end to cc's rule and while the number of protests may be growing gradually she says grip on power doesn't seem to be loosening. but there's been nearly a decade of political upheaval in egypt it started with the end of hosni mubarak's 30 year rule and 2011 in july 23rd seen his elected successor president mohamed morsi was overthrown in a military coup led by general abdel fattah el-sisi he went on to become president sisi has suppress dissent ever since including banning so-called unauthorized protests is government has been accused of wide ranging human rights abuses journalists have been arrested including those working for this network in april last year sisi oversaw a constitutional amendments that could allow them to stay in power until 2030 last september there were protests similar to the one seen in the last week after
6:12 pm
accusations of corruption off it must the high is a former chair of the egyptian community in the u.k. he says president c. c. may be losing support within the military. i think is that passing through a very difficult phase particularly general sisi is not an ordinary dictator he's capable of extreme cruelty and his people and that's a big big problem and i feel the military properties that now and the causes his missed mishandling of the economy mishandling of the water issue was a night where the agricultural land is shrinking as you can only have about 67000000 acres of land in a culture land 7000000 acres likely to shrink to about 6 and it's that evolved as time ticks from the presence the revolt 10 years ago was from the cities
6:13 pm
from the elites this time coming from the very poor people in the business world nothing to do and i think the system is hand in everything humans hand the crown a completely egypt had lost more doctors and more nurses than any country in the world and i think egyptian really the problem currently is collapsing there's no infrastructure he's only living in this feed of daily propaganda. protests isn't giving up their demands for the resignation of president alexander lukashenko police made several arrests during the latest saturday protest in the capital minsk weekend demonstrations have been held since the percent one last month's election which the opposing opposition say was rigged he held a surprise innovation ceremony a few days ago. but more ahead in the news hour including.

at the beijing auto show the 1st event of its kind to take place during the pandemic and coming up next i'll tell you why global comic is so reliant on the chinese law. breaking a taboo in afghanistan and what it means for mothers to be able to put their names on their children's identity documents and in sports we'll hear from the defending french open champion was sounding strangely on the happy ahead of this year's event . vote counting is underway in a malaysian state election that could have significant consequences for the coalition government in kuala lumpur at the moment official results have the 2 main alliances neck and neck a subtle election is the 1st since prime minister mohiuddin yes seen took power in a political coup in february the result may either strengthen his position or heap more pressure on his administration as florence louis reports. these are
6:15 pm
not just any local elections in malaysia they're a test for prime minister. who came to power just 7 months ago he and his supporters withdrew support for the then governing coalition in february causing its collapse his party known as and their allies hold a razor thin majority in parliament that. somehow. can be steep and also to measure how people actually want of how people actually have. and. and also reflect the support of. weaving he faces pressure from his allies to hold snap elections to secure a strong mandate the results from sabah could have an impact on when the next general election not do you told 2023 will be called the prime minister is also facing
6:16 pm
a new challenge from opposition leader anwar ibrahim. coalition won the last general election in 2018 but was ousted in february's political coup this week he announced that he now commands the majority in parliament and would be asking the king to appoint him as prime minister to challenge anwar has exposed how fragile support for the prime minister is even within his coalition the president of the united malays national organization or on no the biggest party in the governing coalition says some of their politicians have defected to anwar side. analysts say the prime minister needs a victory in sabah to and show support for his coalition doesn't slip away. for voters here the power struggle at the national level mirrors what's happening in sabah one of the few states ruled by the opposition the snap election here was triggered after several state politicians switched sides i would love to see them
6:17 pm
complete at least the 5 year. whether or not. they will keep their promise i'll do a better. return to power for the party which supports national opposition could provide momentum to his challenge and leave the prime minister in an even shaky position before lawrence lee. is the c.e.o. of the institute for democracy and economic affairs known as ideas she says the vote is an important moment for prime minister and more heating yes seen. the immediate reaction is that you get a prime minister who was as it was way think thought that results of this election will now be emboldened and politic because he only has a very read that the majority in parliament now and because of the electoral system in malaysia is a sort of win that it's all. in. the victor usually dictates the dictions for the
6:18 pm
future and so the decision of whether or not to call an election now i think that will be brought ahead rather than delay it about having said that of course there are other complications to consider a number 11 thing that we said even a month no. can be any direct that was a slight because of the campaigning in some but so what is that going to mean part of a national level of campaigning here at any election so i don't think that one very well if we are actually seeing a spike and the 2nd factor not cost is the fact that opposition leader anwar ibrahim did claim a few days ago that he had this operation number of parliamentarians that won the government having said that i think that's again the result of this of my election why does what a stronger i'm not a stronger what he did and if there was even a bar of confidence in parliament that could be one possible way to go or
6:19 pm
a lot of why doing having a dissolution and a general election during a time of a public health crisis president donald trump says he'll name his pick to be the new u.s. supreme court justice on saturday afternoon american media are reporting it's likely to be amy connie barrett a chicago judge considered a conservative to fill the spot left vacant by with bet against bud who died last week but i'm gonna miss joining us live from miami obviously we still have to wait to see what donald trump does choose later on but if it is any connie borrowed or one of the others what do we know about the choices he's going to make. well it's down to 2 really it's amy county barrett and barbara logo are both of whom are considered staunch catholics it seems it's likely to be judge barrett she has actually met with the president a couple of times whereas barbara logo it has not what we know about judge part is that she is a staunch catholic is that she used to work for antonin scalia
6:20 pm
a former supreme court justice who was along the very same religious and conservative line she's part of religious groups that support things like same sex marriage so now the democratic party and liberals in general are extremely afraid of a judge like this because if she is confirmed in the republicans do have the voting power needed to do that she would sway the power of the supremes court to a $6.00 to $3.00 majority in favor of conservative justices so at the age of $48.00 she would be the youngest supremes coat justice ever appointed to remember this is a job for life now the contentious issue here is that we are just weeks away from a presidential election ruth bader ginsburg on her deathbed said her dying wish was not to be replaced until after the election and according to polls i've seen most of the american public agree that that's what should be done nevertheless donald trump is pushing forward to trying it confirmed. to the supremes court which would
6:21 pm
really work in his favor and also with conservative christians across the country and then let's move away from the potential as far as the election is concerned what are the wider implications for the u.s. society as a whole in the event that any connie byron's or any conservative is placed in that position. well it's the balance of power it swerves very strongly now in favor of conservative justices and they this is the highest court in the law and they will make decisions on things like health care and 2nd amendment gun rights and abortion of course that is a very thorny issue in this country roe v wade in 1973 confirmed a woman's right to legally get an abortion and now that could potentially be challenged but i think that may be the more important point is the president on top is already trying to undermine this election saying that they we cannot trust a mail in ballot vote now if it is contentious and he does refuse to leave office
6:22 pm
which he has indicated the ultimate decision not knowing who the winner is of the presidential election will come down to the supremes court and he can rely on this if she's nominated his 3rd nominee a very conservative supremes court justice in the highest court in the land and he thanks very much indeed sandy gallagher talking to us from miami florida ok let's stay in the u.s. briana taylor's family is calling for the publication of the transcript of this week's grand jury proceedings which rejected prosecutions against the police a 3rd night of protests were held in louisville version was killed 6 months ago during a botched drugs raid 10 his family want to know why no officer is being charged with her death an ambush on a state governors convoy in nigeria has killed at least 30 people including his security guards the governor of borno state escaped unharmed the armed group boko haram is suspected of the attack near the northeastern town of bog. south korea's

6:38 pm
government's official government narrative over what exactly happened to the $43.00 students this meeting that's taking place today is of particular importance precisely because it is the 6th anniversary of the of the of the students going missing and there are several events that are taking place apart from this meeting over the course of this weekend on friday there was a demonstration outside the offices of mexico's attorney general the attorney general is present in this meeting that's taking place between the president and the families as well as mexico's head of the human rights offices so it is being considered a major event but more so than anything else it's symbolic it represents the government taking a new approach actually meeting with the families and and for many that gives hope that this mystery this now 6 year old mystery will actually be solved when all of this case has been shining a light on the problem that mexico has with forced disappearances over the last 6 years has anything changed.
6:39 pm
through through the latest numbers on force disappearances this is actually as of august so just as of last month there were 75084 people listed as missing in mexico or disappeared mexico the problem of forced disappearances kidnappings child trafficking these are phenomena is the that are unique to mexico but it is a major problem in this country and it is widely recognized as a problem that's that's getting worse there's a saying here many many have been saying since the start of the pandemic that the only thing in the country that hasn't changed that hasn't been altered as a as a result of the corona virus outbreak is violence in the country there's an expectation that the homicide rate force disappearances will once again shatter records which for the last 10 years at least these each year consistently breaks the last years records for violence but we did meet with the mother of one of the 43 missing students at an event on friday who was talking about this meeting that's
6:40 pm
taking place today saturday with president lopez and she expressed a lot of hope given that the current administration is taking a different approach is actually meeting with the families of missing persons and even though this by all accounts were there is an expectation the violence is is continuing to rise and will shatter new records there is hope that things will improve with the new presidential administration here in mexico and smuggled out polo talking to us live from mexico city mo thank you very much indeed we're going to stun have achieved a significant breakthrough with the president decreeing but their names must be included on their children's identity cards up to now only the father's name is documented and that makes it difficult for a woman to prove rights over their own child reports. don't to america rees divorced and see washes her only son but on his national afghan
