making their way to a demonstration organized by his bola, against the lead judge investigating last 2 years. port blast before the chaos broke out. 3 battles ensued with gunfire and ambulance sirens echoing through the lebanese capital for several hours as the city tried to come to terms with yet another disaster. st holder begins our coverage from the route sniper fire, gun fight. rockets fired in the city a battle across the dividing line that dates back to the civil war that ended in 1990. 2 long time enemies current, part of a root into a battle ground. bullets bounce from buildings as people ran for cover. and children evacuated from school, we need the children to low levels, and then we waited until the parents came to take their children. the children were

going to panic and fear they cried and screamed a large army deployment failed to control the situation. supporters of muslim she political groups and his beloved were hunkered down and she s neighborhood. on the other side of the street where the support of the christian lebanese forces party, there were casualties. many of them civilians hit by straight bullets, some while hiding in their homes. the clashes are now in their 3rd hour. it is one of the most serious about the violence. in recent years. the tensions were over a judge leading an investigation until last year. explosion at the report has belong say. the confrontations began when the lebanese sniper ambush protestors making their way to the justice palace where they demanded the removal of judge todd at the thought. they blamed the lebanese forces for the attack, a charge the group denied. the real threat lies in the use of weapons and those who

have targeted peaceful demonstrators. there were peaceful demonstrations everywhere during the past 2 years. but we have not seen such an attack against them. the dangerous escalation followed political tensions over the investigation which has already paralyzed. the government has milan, are threatening to pull their ministers, which means an entire sect would be absent in violation of the country. terry and power sharing agreement, the opposition is accusing hello and all of stating a cool and using arms to impose there were ever since his beloved arms, no longer had any function except fighting wars than syria or assuming agenda. and now imposing on the new state. what the justice is allowed to do and not to do what a judge can decide or can't decide. and they're drawing red lines around ministers

who are caught up and accused. and they're saying they are above the law. the guns eventually fell silent, but it's further divided and already polarized society, there appears to be an undeclared truth, but the crisis is not over. demands for the judges dismissal, have not gone away. those against him say he has politicized those who support him, and that includes the families of victims. so he is among the rare judges who aren't politically affiliated in a country where there is a culture of impunity. and those in power act about the law. more than 200 people were killed in the last that destroyed neighborhood. what happened today was a show of force by has bella and its allies, essentially giving the lebanese public false choice, either stability, ah, without justice or of justice, but no stability. this is just the latest in a series of attempts by has by law and the ruling elite to undermine obstruct and

blocks the domestic investigation into the lap. the balance of power is not in judge the taurus favor, but he did try to take on the powerful, which is almost unheard of in lebanon history. it pushed the country to the brink and brought back scenes from a turbulent past. that may have been a warning of what might come. santa claire el shahita were lebanon's president michel owen, has condemned the violence and says those behind the attack will be brought to justice. the army remains deployed on the streets and 9 people have been arrested. whereas her, i learn new rules so that the we will never allow anyone else to hijack the country of what has happened to day will be followed on both levels of the judiciary and the security and investigations were reach the reality and the truth. and the facts among those perpetrators will be taken to the court. the investigation of the boot port block will continue, because it's

a commitment towards the lebanese people and towards the international community law, based on the independence of the judiciary. your arm and i does offer more, we can speak now to david kenner. he is a fellow at the institute of current world affairs, and he joins us live now from the route. sir, thank you so much for joining us, sir. i here. we know, of course you've had a very difficult day being in beirut. we'll talk about your personal experience later. but just for more analytical point of view, when we see the sort of escalation that we've seen today, political tensions moving on to the screen. so what do you think with a particular sparks of do you think it's just an accumulation of tension that, of course lebanon has lived with for a while now? well, of course, thank you so much for having me. um, i think the, the spark that took this off was judge baton decision, obviously to try to question ali hudson honey. and the former finance minister, pamela has have increasingly been critical of the car and

increasingly considered this investigation, basically a conspiracy against them. and their show force on the street was a way of saying that this investigation could continue on to the current path. there's obviously many things that filed up before then, but, but this was the spark that took this off to the level and famously has a thick terry and power sharing agreement, which of course, in many ways contributed to some of the deadlock sometimes, but the lebanese people are facing a terrible time the economies imploding inflation is sky high. i think about 80 percent of the people live in poverty have been reduced to poverty. what reaction they view sense among the people that you've spoken to? to today's violence you find people still falling along sectarian lines or, or do you find that a general revulsion almost with the, with the leading class. you know, you know, that, that's a great question. and there's both the people that i've talked to in my

neighborhood are exhausted by the situation. there's no more than 2 or 3 hours of state electricity a day. there are no jobs the every day trip to the grocery store is more expensive . people detest this political class at a fundamental level. at the same time, there is sometimes also the feeling that ok, the, the entire political class is bad. but you know, the, my, my secretary and leaders are the only ones who can even provide me with, with the very basics of survival. so it is complicated and you do get both. busy opinions, one of the things that was most shocking, of course, about the violence today is sort of where it happened, just kind of normal neighborhood, obviously with the people there and then the impact across the room to tell us how you lived through the day as, as the violence started of course,

so we knew that there were protests scheduled from yesterday and that it could be a violent day. i, we live thankfully fairly far from the, from the sites of the violence. so we could hear some of the rocket propelled grenade fire from our house. you know, it started out like a normal day getting, getting our son up to get ready to get start today. and then by about mid day, we realized everyone needed to come home and we would spend most of the day sitting at home where, where it was safe and as far from the violence as possible because the schools actually called then they asking you to come and pick up your child. oh, you know, in we are, sorry. lebanese internet. we are very similar to thousands of families living in bay route. at this moment where the schools had to send the kids to the basement

or send them into the hallways anywhere that it's safe until the parents could come pick them up. and this is especially traumatizing because 11 schools have been closed. busy for pretty much 2 years from the protests in 2009 to the corporate pandemic. and now is this your really just seeing last generation that in some ways, echoes what, what occurred during the civil war. it's incredibly tragic for millions of people. so how does that tomorrow look for you? are you going to go about your normal life? you're going to take your son to school, you're going to go out and about it in beirut. how do you see your future? obviously not just tomorrow, but literally in, in weeks and months to come the way that things are developing. now of course, well tomorrow's the national day of morning and we got a message. the school is closed because of that. so we'll, we'll be staying at home. and it's life in beirut for

a lot. 5 of people is becoming increasingly segregated and increasingly confined to places that people know are safe and predictable. homes. homes have family. there is just a lot less going out and sort of travel than there used to be. i moved here for the 1st time in 2005, and you really, you got around the country. you saw different parts of it and, and it's just not like that anymore because of security because of the economy. it is really tragic. david kenner, a fellow at the institute of current world affairs of speaking to us from the router. sir, thank you so much for having spoken to us. thank you. thank you, lou. it's going to norway. now, the intelligence agency says a bow and arrow attack,

a far right attacker and as private killed 77 people, many of them teenagers at a summer holiday camp. now flags flying at half mast and cones berg and the attack is being felt across all of norway. alix o'brien al jazeera still to come on al jazeera, tropical storm compasses, leaves a trail of destruction along china's southern coast, canceling flights and forcing thousands and valleys back about where all the tourists indonesia is most popular island reopened after 18 months. ah no for most of the plane, if you're the weather is fairly settled. and finally there's

a distinct differences. and the most obvious one is this one here is area of low pressure, which is really sub magiatta, had to go towards the gin. but it covers the whole of grease and throat friday and probably half of saturday. the warnings will still be in place for heavy rain, which turns into stove of a 1000 meters. it's been locally cold, stone, ballast. this is the 2nd in about a week to hit crease. the temperature drop is about 7 degrees in some places more because the air tucking in here is cold enough. and it's brought snow actually in its formation as far north as southern poland. hailstorm, the locked in the hail showers, but is all confined to greece is moving slowly east during saturday, allowing the balkans to see an improvement. and if i walk this way, the improvements already there hasn't really changed, doesn't borne sunny for most of spain and portugal. the incoming winter hasn't really made it snows, confined to norway, and olden sweden, but this is cold air, briefly dr. the temperatures down in northern europe to about, for example,

11 and stalker. but london at 15 will see things warm up to 161718 by the end of the weekend before the next system of rain comes in. ah. after world war 2, frances great empire began to unravel in vietnam to moses heavy. but he was trained themselves into the streams bursting with joy kissing each other. and algeria, he listened to. she knew as if the indo chinese that managed to beat the french army. why not die? the decline continues an episode to blood and tears french, the colonization. on al jazeera oh

a reminder now the top stories on al jazeera root has been rocked by worse fail street violence in more than a decade. leaving 6 people dead and dozens injured. protesters were targeted by an identified sniper's position in buildings. norway's intelligence agency says a bow and arrow attacks that left 5 people dead appears to have been an act of terrorism to others were injured in the worst violence in the country. in a decade for members of egypt, security forces are on trial in abstention in rome. for the kidnapping and murder of an italian academic julia ridge and his body was found in a ditch outside cairo in 2016. and also see showed that he'd been tortured. the cambridge university student was researching local trade unions. the 4 agents,

including national security, general teddy severe, deny any involvement and will not appear in court. the case sparked widespread outrage and strained relations between italy and egypt. adam rainy has more now from outside the court house in room. this is the 1st day and the official trial. there been many pre trial hearing and this is going to be a long process. it's taking more than 5 years. just to get to this point, we're going to expect perhaps testimony from very high ranking italian officials, perhaps even for former prime ministers who are in office during the time since virginia's murder and a time this case has come to trial is a high burden for prosecutors because this has been a one sided investigation for most of the time, these officers are being tried in absentia and for the past year, the investigation has been conducted just by italian prosecutors, the attorney for the jenny family and their allies and advocates in egypt. egyptian

prosecutors themselves closed the case in december, saying the perpetrator was, quote, unknown. so you have this, this one sided investigation. you had a lot of pressure from egypt that this trial shouldn't even go forward because they didn't provide physical address for those office for italian officials. and prosecutors couldn't even officially notify the people they were on trial. but before this, there was a pre trial hearing, in which a judge said, it's clear, these men know that they're on trial, so it should proceed. so that's what we can expect a long process, high ranking officials and it's kind of one sided, trial taking place. but there's a lot of pressure here in italy for to go forward, because it's seen as this pivotal moment for the justice system to fight for the rights of someone murdered abroad. the u. s. president is hosting his kenyan counterpart at the white house,

who can yetta is the 1st african leader to visit since joe biden took office. kenyatta is among those caught up in the pandora paper scandal with documents revealing links to offshore shell companies. worth about $30000000.00. well our white house correspondent, kimberly how kit joins us alive and now sick. it really we hear that can yet has arrived the canadian president. what is likely to be the focus of this meeting? that that's right. we're waiting the tape play back to see if there is anything significant that they are wishing to share with the media about their meeting. but we do know in advance of that the white house did release a read out of some of the goals that the white house was hoping to accomplish in this meeting. and we know that there are a broad range of issues that will be discussed. for example, climate change security economics and also human rights, but the white house also drilling down on a couple of those. the 1st being the issue of financial transparency. we know that

the can you, president did campaign against corruption. but as you noted, he is one of the high profile leaders that has been mentioned in those pandora papers that investigation that revealed that there are a number of world leaders as well as celebrities and others who have significant amounts of money invested off shore. and the reason this is of concern is not just because of the corruption or anti corruption campaigning that a rou kenyatta did, but as well. 1 the fact that to kenya is one of the largest recipients of usa, the 5th largest, in fact, from the united states. so this is another reason. now the white house has acknowledged this. they say that look at, there may be some concerns, but that won't stop the conversations in order to achieve the goal of financial transparency. so that's one key issue. the other comes down to security and a given geography and the fact that kenya is position so close to ethiopia,

and the concerns about the warring factions of the t gray region. the u. s. president expect to also discuss that as well with the canyon president. how the leader can work and his government can work to try and resolve that conflict. we also know the u. s. president has it through executive order, ready, possible sanctions, but not yet implemented them. so these are just some of the key issues that will be discussed in this meeting that is still ongoing. kimberly, how can, with the latest the from the white house and following that meeting for the moment . thank you. now, a high level taliban delegation is in turkey. is it continues a diplomatic push for support and crucially recognition after taking over afghanistan back in august, they've met the turkish foreign minister in ankara in a day earlier in talks in cat out of the group appealed to us and european officials, the end of canis funds, isolation, the group wants the west,

the east financial restrictions, which it says are crippling the country. this'll said that has been monitoring those talks from a symbol. one of other sensitive issue for turkey is the matter of the immigration . you know, the turkey is receiving poles is not african refugees, and turkey has already is, is hosting more than 4500000 refugees in the country and definitely is very much since the one to come to another wave of the ravages. he says that we have asked taliban to be more cooperative in terms of preventing a new way of the refugees. and also they asked taliban to assure the right of return for many afghans wants to get back to their country's company. affordable. so was at the table at the meeting and he says that we have asked taliban to, to, to give the assurance of the civilian police and to restart the civilian flights from the cobbled airport, which is the last gateway or for afghan is down to the rest of the world, but the he has been especially asked whether turkey is going to recognize taliban

or not. he says that definitely the international community must have a certain level of engagement with taliban that will be for the benefit of afghanistan. but it is not the recognition. so turkey is in an engagement with that about that that, that. but that is not the recognition. so far tropical storm compassed who has left a trail of destruction on the chinese island province of hay. nun, it's the strongest storm to hit southern china this year, causing flooding and damage to buildings. several people were killed when the storm ripped through the philippines. this week. vietnam is now on high alert truck fried reports. coming to the end of its long traffic compared to slammed into the southern chinese island of high 9, the strongest tropical storm this year to make landfall in china. it led to canceled flights trains and fairies services with thousands of vessels taking
