police changing the world we live in seen as congress is debating a bill seeking to raise billions of dollars from the super rich poor families kids advice and damage counting the cost on al-jazeera. the testis out on the streets again in lebanon's poorest city angry over a lockdown during an economic crisis. hello again everyone from again this is al-jazeera live there also coming up. russian opposition leader alexina vali to stay in jail until his next trial which could send him to prison for several years. pakistan's top court upholds the

acquittal of a man convicted in the murder of the american journalist daniel pearl. and we look at how small businesses in the u.k. are adapting to the reality of the briggs's. so let's start in lebanon where protesters have gathered again in the golden city of tripoli in a show of anger against the government it stems from a strict doctor that's come on top of an already dire economic situation is lebanon's poorest city all that hard for the people that live below the poverty line security forces of firing tear gas and water cannon at hundreds of protesters last night one person was killed and 200 people were injured al-jazeera is saying a honda is in tripoli she's with us now live so what's happening now.

another night of protests another nights of violence fits day for since many lebanese here in this impoverished city returned to the streets to complain about the coronavirus lockdown and the government's not providing any compensation or financial assistance to those who aren't able to cope for those who continue to need to keep working in order to feed their families like you mentioned there is already and i cannot make a deep economic crisis the economy collapse that war then i year ago i can tell you that the numbers are much less than our previous nights maybe it is because people are afraid because there was a serious escalation on wednesday live ammunition was used by security forces we were here we heard that a protester was killed it hasn't been established whether or not he was directly from out or whether security forces were firing in the air but doctors say this 30 year old who died on mars suffered gunshot wounds and his body so

a protester has been killed dozens have been injured there is a lot of anger people here say this is not just about the coronavirus lockdown and the economic support that the government should give us this is about the need for a new leadership a leadership that will take into account our lives to make make our lives better we've been at this city has been neglected is the 2nd largest city in this country to get 60 to 70 percent of its population and nearly half a 1000000 people unemployed no jobs and many who do work work in the informal sector which means they have no social security no social protections and that's why there's so much anger in the streets but i can tell you the numbers are less people who are really intimidated with what happened last night is there any danger that these protests could spread to beirut as well.

well look there have been scattered protests around the country in recent days in fact just a short while ago a few dozen people were demonstrating in a commercial district in beta within the camera also calling for a new leadership showing support for the people in tripoli but the protest movement has fizzled out over the past few months coronavirus the spread of this virus really is keeping people away from the streets it's one of the reasons people are afraid hospitals are overwhelmed this country has one of the most steepest rise in places in the world and the health care system is collapsing so this is keeping people away from the streets but also the heavy handed tactics of security forces over the past few months amnesty international just issuing a report today saying that security forces have used excessive force against protesters over recent months the intimidation the harassment the arrests the people say and activists are saying what's the use of taking to the streets put our

health at risk get arrested when there will be change the balance of power is in the favor of of the political parties who hold power and they still have supporters what the opposition movement is trying to do now is try to prepare for the upcoming elections next year hoping that through the ballot box they can change the balance of power and bring in new leaders but with the electoral law in place and many many other issues that's going to be a very big challenge al-jazeera zain ahead of reporting live from tripoli in northern lebanon so many. a russian course is tonight opposition leader alexina bounties appeal to be released from jail he appeared by video link to be freed before his trial over an alleged probation violation of all he was arrested last week when he returned from germany where he'd been being treated after being poisoned. you must understand my rights and i want to draw the attention of the court to the fact that since i was detained i've not had a single opportunity to meet with my lawyers in private not

a single one more now from our xander god for more scope. legal team was arguing that not only didn't have the correct and right access to his lawyers that also there was basically no independence of the court secured because the court was in the police station and the prosecuting part was the police but judge didn't think anything of that importance so he after a very short of deliberation this missed this appeal and uphold the previous the previous season when it comes to what is basically the main thing there is the hearing that is coming next week on the charges that he violated his probation what the prison authorities are saying that he didn't report himself as he was supposed to that he didn't report himself when they send the letter to which was like on the 28th in the evening and he was supposed to be on the 29th of december in the

morning which was physically impossible and they are not thinking that it is a valid reason that we actually send by proper channels a letter in which he stated that he's in germany where he's recovering from being poisoned and that he needs time to recover from that that he even gave an address but that was not taken into account neither today nor it was taken into account when he was arrested upon upon the landing so what now while the is saying is that 1st of all the warrant for his arrest is not according to the law neither is his arrest. pakistan's supreme court has ordered the release of the man convicted that acquitted of the murder of the u.s. journalist daniel pearl in 2002 british born omar saeed shaykh has been found guilty of abducting the journalist and was sentenced to death as a big reports after 18 years in prison i am an almost side shakes acquittal has
