running. v.f. treatment in uganda is helping to save the white rhino from extinction. the man chosen to be lebanon's next prime minister has resigned less than a month into the job most of the says he simply hasn't been able to form a government of specialists in a country where power is shared between different sects it sends the country back to square one in his search for a new stable government zana hard to reports from beirut. it's been almost a month since most of our a deal was designated prime minister his job was to form a government independent of party loyalists after the previous cabinet resigned 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
8:02 pm
bankruptcy have been in power for decades i realize 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 with this specific ations that i put failed. 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 see an already. fragile skepticism with this class and was very much a final automator so i would be surprised if the french choose to give that same strategy another shot the armor movement and hezbollah backed by iran have been blamed for standing in the way of a deal by insisting on naming she are muslim representation in government a 1000000 hezbollah are part of the so-called march 8th alliance that currently
8:03 pm
control political power in the sectarian based system of government here the shia 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 there are squeezed cornered instead of being them through hezbollah on the border. moved towards the borders of iran so basically yes it 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 to hurt and implicate the political class that is why leaders resisted for years micron's that roadmap however doesn't
8:04 pm
just set deadlines it warrants a possible consequences this is a broken 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 senecas beirut investigators have issued arrest warrants for members of the mexican military who could be linked to the disappearance of dozens of students in 2014 the mexican president has been meeting with the families of the 43 students the group who were abducted by local police in the town of regardless 6 years ago they were then reportedly turned over to a gang that's believed to have killed them and burned their bodies or money overall palooza joining us live from mexico city the fact that the president was having this meeting in the 1st place was a significant step forward but this announcement bring something else to it does
8:05 pm
not. the meeting between a mexican president and his mother lopez i would have thought in the families of the missing $43.00 students has only just concluded a few moments ago when we were anticipating that there would be so now it's made as you mentioned robber learning $34.00 new arrest warrants making a total of 70 arrest warrants issued against municipal and state workers against municipal police against members of the mexico security forces and even unprecedented the arrest warrant for at least one member of mexico's federal police that is without precedent and these meetings this is now the 3rd time that president look is over that meets with the families of the missing student since he became president but these meetings have really come to symbolize a new path in this investigation something that hadn't happened in under the previous administration of opinion yet though so these any new piece of evidence
8:06 pm
any new arrest warrant any new discovery that's announced in this case serves to up and discredit the previous official government narrative over what had happened to the these 43 students from. mexico now the meeting that's taking place today it's also very symbolic because it is the 6th anniversary of the disappearance of the students so apart from this meeting that just concluded at the here in mexico city there will also be other events to commemorate that anniversary including a vigil a demonstration to commemorate the anniversary as well as a march through the streets of mexico city and i understand of course that this particular case has been. really capturing the attention of people in mexico but the problem that mexico has with forced disappearances is much wider than this isn't that. has the situation changed in the last 6 years.
8:07 pm
the case of the teen up of 43 really is emblematic of mexico's problem with forced disappearances and when we're talking about this phenomenon in mexico issues of force disappearances kidnappings child trafficking homicide and violence in general these are not problems that are that are unique to mexico these are these are dysfunctional that happens all over the world but is a massive problem in mexico and by all accounts it's one that's actually gotten worse over the over the course of the last 6 years or region look at the latest statistics on missing persons as of august last month there were $75084.00 missing persons listed across mexico that's a staggering number compared compared to other other countries other countries in the world but. when we look at these meetings that are taking place now under the new administration and i use this as an example specifically because it is an emblematic case for mexico just yesterday on friday we were speaking to the mother of one of the missing 43 students who told us that you know 6 years on it's
8:08 pm
a long time to wait in limbo to find out whether or not her son is is dead is still alive but having the opportunity now the 3rd time to meet with the president of the country to meet with mexico's attorney general to meet with the head of the human rights commission for the country gives a lot of people hope that finally that that there is a new path being forged that there is. a new way of tackling the issue of forces appearances in a country something that hadn't been seen before michael thanks very much indeed that's talking to us from mexico city. protesters in brother who's giving up their demands for the resignation of president alexander lukashenko police have arrested dozens of people in the capital minsk weekend demonstrations have been held since the consent one last month's election was the opposite oppositions say was rigged and held a surprise inauguration ceremony a few days ago several countries have said they won't recognize his presidency.

8:10 pm
have an abortion that's what's at stake and also i think the more important point is president trump is already calling into doubt this upcoming november presidential election with the mail in ballots he's questioning that already setting the stage for a very contentious presidential election in which he's already threatened not to leave office now if that does happen the ultimate decision on who's won that election will come down to the supremes court and if he's loaded the course up remember this is the 3rd justice he's appointed all conservatives that could very well work in his favor so the democratic party are aware of what is at stake here they will do their best to try and stop it but it doesn't look good for the democratic party because the republicans are the ones in power they will ultimately have the deciding vote. 10 people have been arrested at a protest in the u.k. it was largely made up of people who don't believe the coronavirus pandemic is real they're demanding an end to restrictions local lockdown rules are being imposed in

polio measles and so on we have managed to largely eliminate those diseases from widespread transmission and that's had a huge impact the only way that we are going to control the spread of this disease is by having an effect of that scene and having sufficient uptake of the vaccine to prevent it being spread from person to person and here's a sampling of the sort of thing you hear here in response is we're getting friends . every day doing everything they can to force us to say ok just give me the injections back to normal but it will be the end of our life that i hadn't let this psychopathic bill gates. he's got no one's health and he's very stressed interest but he has taken charlie over the rough and out house. now the infection rate he's climbing here in london as it is across the
