$200.00 val, who's covered soon as you, extensively 4th over decades, post revolution mohammed, we were expecting and waiting to hear what the outcome of a meeting would be between the president and the unions are a very important and strong body across the country. the unions now are talking about the outcome of that meeting. what are they saying? you know, basically it's, it considered as a more of a supportive statement to it's a short statement in which the reiterate that there should be respect of constitutional legality and everything that's being done. well, the only side that has done anything is a precedent and he's been accused of violating the constitution. it's not clear what the union is meant by dog, but they want at least clear from what they wrote that they want from now on. anything that should be done should be done according to the constitution, but they are not saying that the government that the president has violated the

constitution. they also called on the army, stay neutral on all sides just to stay away from violence. and they ask the president to respect the deadline that he gave, that he shouldn't extend this emergency situation beyond the 30 days. but he that he, he mentioned all that he decreed. so basically, the president has come out stronger, according from any analysis of that statement should come to this conclusion. he came out stronger by the support of this statement. the union is have a history of support for the president, for this particular president. and we have seen also the army staying neutral at the they kept the situation from at, from escalating. so, isis a, the tuition president has some time on his hands to, you know, to, to implement his changes or policy mom advantage for us into her thanks. so much for the update. well,

earlier i spoke to tin is he is former president of ma suki. he told his supporters that kyle said might not realize that supporting a new dictator. we have this political crisis match the worst congress that we have ever had international have 100 people dying every day from grown of ours. and then we have also a huge crisis. so this one, if you could kindly excusing, eventually because people are exhausted, they are scared and nobody knows exactly where we are heading. i know this is not exactly what we would say, a wise man, and i'm afraid what it's reaction the next few days when we faced the opposition growing from the bottom from the suicide. i don't know exactly what my main concern is, how to work with the army out there that the military would react. i know you this

maybe 3 because i have been have been have those states 3 years. so i know people are very well. i know that they have protected resolution constitution at that time and i do hope that they will get this attitude. people expect them to not from the democracy, from the bonded on the phone and that the people is extremely disappointed. this is why, for the moment some of the population, it's important, but they don't understand that. in fact, they are supporting the kato and this movie. it will never be able to make up the social problem and that had because he was part of the system political system. i think he's responsible for, for the situation when we go into security forces dressed

in civilian clothes, still nielsen of al jazeera in tunis and asked old german to leave the building. we spoke to out there as soon as the bureau cheese looked see had g about the situation, not had that. and what's happened is a security forces stormed out to 0 officers and tuners and asked the staff to lease they prevented staff from even taking personal belongings. and they said that they represent the security services in tennessee. yeah, i asked them if the average disarray permit and they said no, we don't have one. these are the instructions of the interior ministry mom. that's despite the fact that we have last tuesday and they can't do this. we see this is unfair. it's against fairness because it doesn't depend on as you district ruling. so don't know, our faith have the office, they have the keys, but we will go to the history and we'll see what happens in the security forces are surrounding the office and the facility upstairs. they prevent anyone from entering out here is office preventing us from using our computers. this is a new decision which is unfair and it might develop into other action because in 10

years. yeah, over the last 10 years we've gotten used to freedom of press work and the specter of law shod regarding the staff of al jazeera, we are prevented from talking to anyone today cuz i think they're trying to even go through our mobile phone with are concerned because within this illegal decision, we cannot work, i cannot convey our message that's in global condemnation by press freedom, advocates of the false closure of our there is offices, reporters without borders. they denounces the closure of algiers office into this by security forces and calls on the authorities to respect press, freedom and pluralism. the international press institute says the raid on out there is office is a gross violation of press freedom and an act of intimidation to silent independent media. pauline smith, l. stakes person for reporters without borders. she says her team are staying vigilant of any attacks or media outlets into nicea. the most important thing is to say that the stage reports without border is

a bit didn't and looking at the situation and the potential attacks on press freedom in the country. as we said yesterday evening after the announcement by the president. yes, the security for the internet and we are looking carefully at the situation. we denounced the move and we consider that the crew of press and the freedom of the press has to be respected by the authorities during the time when there is a political crisis ongoing since yesterday night in the country at the stage looking at the situation and confirming the fact that the office of era have been closed by the police forces on the ground. it seems that the other

network, international networks are still put casting and tv working in normal condition at the stage. but we are looking carefully at the situation and not making any worrying comments at the stage. well, president chi side says article 82 as he has constitution essentially gives him the power to push out the prime minister. according to the article, the president may take any measures necessary and even to imminent danger that threatens the nation's institutions, security or independence. however, the clause also states that before extraordinary action, the president must 1st consult with the head of government and the speaker of the assembly. it states this after 30 days, the speaker may reach out to the constitutional court, which can then determine if the president's actions were warranted and

constitutional. william lawrence is a professor of political science and international affairs at the american university. he thinks what the president is doing to face a fair amount will face a fair amount of opposition to what he's doing. politics has also failed to produce a constitutional course court. so there is no recourse constitutionally to review the president's actions, which if you look at that article closely, do not allow him to do what he's doing. and certainly not the ways doing it. there's no mention of removing immunity for parliamentary and there's no mention of it take over. ready a full executive authority and firing administers all that in propagation by the president who is a constitutional expert, but doesn't even have a ph. d with sort of a low level lecturer at the university and is often portrayed as a constitutional scholar of some, some notes. but, and all of his meetings today, people are coming and explaining the constitution. sure. so it all remains to be

seen how this can be turned around if it will be turned around. but right now, you know, i've been talking the constitutional experts since yesterday, and no one really sees either that the constitution allows them to do this or that there's a way out except for a political negotiation. like we had during the crisis of 2013 k said one the presidential election in a landslide and u t. t is the most powerful institution in the country. and the commonality there is that they're both sort of from the arab nationalists side of politics. so there's this overlap there. but up until now the u. g t t has been the guardians of the of democracy in the guardians of the constitution, where i say, seems to want to ruled by decree. and by a plebiscite, you know, almost the napoleon, 3 sort of way, and every revolution hasn't napoleon moment. so we're, we're waiting to see,

you know, is this going in a 2013 direction or it's needed 2013 direction. and the behavior of the largest institutions, the labor union and the military, which we need to talk about as well. after that picture with all the generals and the threat by the president to use force, those are the big questions right now. well still had hail now was there a little sign of a thorough told between china and the us get off to a testy store that story after the break. ah ah, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored my cattle airways. we've still got 2 side turns to look at, but in far was the tie food that went on land yesterday, just south of shanghai. advertising is now tropical storm,

but it will rapidly no longer be named as such. still revolving storm that the strength of the wind brought down to like $30000.00 trees. obviously, as you know, public transport was stopped. the time being that the real problem is going to be still to come. i think extensive flooding this amount of rain over low lying gravity is already sudden it's a river valleys, the young see and of the next day or so it will keep moving stallion and expanding its rain bands whilst the other one makes land fall on. sure. so 1st of all then the remains of in far overnight and during wednesday we'll do this. the orange bands or bands of razor running up to the same area that was flooded extensively just a couple of days ago. so there's a lot worse still to come. it looks like this one, the bit concerned about in the lympics venue in tokyo is going to be a long way. no small tropical storm. make landfall in hong shoes. a few shout, maybe in tokyo, a bit of an increase in win know was not i think is more rain to come to lose on but know from in the most come and me and my but fire for that threat related in

these here. not many showers at all. sponsor cut on airways and counting the cost beyond the tourism, the world's richest men, making a grab to control access to the trillion dollars space industry. taos than you call why rich nations of emitted agriculture for climate change and how flowering call lives in iran, counting the cost. well now we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world. and so now how do you take it will bring you the news and current affairs that matter to you? oh, a

talk about what you're out there with lisa hill, run the reminder of all top stories. trinity as president has now the fact the ministry of defense and the acting minister of justice. after dismissing the prime minister earlier and freezing parliament for 30 days, the biggest political group, the entire party is calling it a coo and security forces dressed in civilian clothing, stormy offices of al jazeera into unit old stuff were told to turn off the phones with then removed from the building press freedom, advocates have condemned the false closure of their offices. springs some of the news from around the world. lebanon's new prime minister designate the g. mccarty has promised to form a new government and implement a french plan to save the country from its crippling financial crisis. it's the 3rd attempt with an ear to form a government. the country is experiencing its was economic crisis in modern history . chicata for 100. why? but when i say why thank his excellency the president john,

i'd like also to thank all the members of parliament. i wished to cooperate with those who did and did not name me to find the necessary solutions. it's vital. as for the constitution together, m p 's confidence, but also in real life, i want to get the confidence and trust of the people and of every single man and woman because i don't have a magic one and i cannot create wonders on my own. the difficult does that hold, it has more from the capital, beirut, lebanon has a new prime minister and as you, but me as he received the majority of votes from parliamentarians. he is the 3rd prime minister to be nominated, appointed since august last year, when the government resigned in the wake of the baby with port explosion. it's still not clear whether or not he will be able to reach a deal with the president michelle, on forming a new cabinets his predecessors to have them stepped aside. after fading, to form

a government 11 on needs, a government in order to rescue the country. because the economy has all the collapse, the currency has collapse, the state is close to bankruptcy. it is no longer able to import medicine, medical supplies, fuel diesel fuel states. electricity provides power 2 hours a day. hospitals aren't able to cope because they need to run their generators and generators need diesel fuel. and the, the, the new government will need to reach some sort of a bailout plan with the international monetary fund. because without that the, they can, they're unable to start the economy. but so far, lebanon's politicians have been focused on their own personal interests and not the interest. in fact, the international community has been of very frustrated with the political class. continuously criticizing them for not working for the interests of the state and instead having their eyes focused on the upcoming parliamentary elections next year

. so the country now has a new prime minister, but whether or not he can form a government, it is still unclear. 2021 is to be the bloodiest here and have gone on since the un begun keeping records 12 years ago, almost $1700.00 civilians, many of them women and children have died in the 1st 6 months of this year alone. charlotte, bella has moved from cobble its been less than 3 months since mohammed nobody's daughter, re 100 dikes. she was 16 and an identical triplet with his sisters in yellow or bray her wanted to be a doctor. but she was killed in an attack at his school and may well enough putting on the physician. what i was, the 1st one to get to the bombing was really horrible. it's always on my mind when i got there, it was chaos. they were screams, cries, and morning they were father's picking up their daughters brothers picking up the sisters on the attack on say it all. she had
