and children evacuated from school. i thought we moved the children to low levels and then we waited until the parents came to take their children. the children were going 3 panic and fear they cried and screamed a large army deployment failed to control the situation. supporters of muslim, she are political groups, amal and has belong, were hunkered down, and she f neighbourhood. on the other side of the street where the supporters of the christian lebanese forces party, there were casualties. many of them civilians hit by stray bullets, some while hiding in their homes. the classes are now in their 3rd hour. it is one of the most serious bouts of violence in recent years. ah, the tensions were over a judge leading an investigation into last year's explosion at the root port has belong, emma say the confrontations began when the lebanese sniper ambushed protestors

making their way to the justice palace where they demanded the removal of judge toddy. because they blamed the lebanese forces for the attack, a charge. the group denied not on the real threat lies on 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 pensions over the investigation which has already paralyzed. the government has fallen are threatening to pull their ministers, which means an entire sect would be absent in violation of the country sectarian power sharing agreement. the opposition is accusing, has bala and amal of stating a coo and using arms to impose their will. ever since his battle as arms no longer had any function except fighting wars and syria or assuming it on the agenda and now imposing um they live in the 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 further divided an already polarized society. there appears to be an undeclared truth, but the crisis is not over. demands for the judge's 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 above the law. more than 200 people were killed in that blast that destroyed neighborhood. what happened today was a show, a force by has bella and its allies,

essentially giving the lebanese public or false choice, either stability, ah, without justice or justice, but no stability. this is just the latest in a series of attempts by has by law and the ruling elites to undermine obstruct and blocked the domestic investigation into the lap. the balance of power is not in judge baton favor, but he did try to take on the powerful, which is almost unheard of lebanon's history. it pushed the country to the brink and brought back scenes from a turbulent pass that may have been a warning of what might come santa feather, l shahita, beirut, resident michelle, and has addressed the nation condemning the violence. i know you'll say that we will never allow anyone to hijack the country. what has happened today will be followed on both levels of the judiciary and security and investigations were reach the reality and the truth. and the fact that those perpetrators will be taken to

the court, the investigation of the boot port blast will continue. because it's a commitment towards the lebanese people and towards the international community. based on the independence of the judiciary. your attentions over the investigation into the port blast have been mounting for several days. mon monday, the leader of hezbollah up us, and the sla publicly denounced a judge static, bitter saying he was biased and he was targeting sheer officials. bitter has remained unfazed on tuesday. he issued an arrest warrant for the former minister of finance who's a member of the sheer amal party. that was a move that infuriated hezbollah and its main sheer ally. shortly afterwards to amal officials, filed another legal challenge, calling for the judge to be removed. the conflict spilled into a meeting of the council of ministers on wednesday, which had to be suspended after an amal party minister, lost his temper, slammed the table and shouted at president michel owen,

has bhalla and amal cold for protests against the judge. the next morning, while andrew tom was joining us live on scott from washington d. c. he's a senior fellow at the washington institute. good, have you back on al jazeera. how much of this is about the investigation and how much of this is about wider issues in lebanon? well, the break, the be rude blast a little over a year ago in the porch was devastating to 11 and there was already on its back. economically devastated, surrounded by a chaos from syria. this this investigation into why so much money of nitrate was kept in the port is very sensitive and it begs a lot of questions. this judge dared to ask for for depositions and for other kinds of testimony from those that were serving at the time. and this is what whenever line with has bala,

particularly it's ally and led to the altercation that we saw here today. it's a very clear way for hezbollah in its allies to stop judiciary investigation of her epic than didn't. lebanese history given the fragile state of lebanon that has existed for, for several months. now, we seem to beginnings of a push for power by various factions within the country. i think we're beginning to see a, an attempt to keep lebanon in a very tight hezbollah pro has below orbit even. wow. it has its ministers who are in government or an increased criticism for failing in the role of governance and particularly. ready concerns energy and the provision of electricity, but not only, it's a huge problem,

the lebanese people become impoverished as a result of the event of the last year and a half or so. and i and has ball has been the middle of it. any investigation of anything that involves has bhalla, seems to bring these fighters on to the streets, which is reminiscent of may 2008. so the same, it doesn't, it doesn't repeat itself, but it's rhyming to those faithful events when has been posted as well on the lebanese state, and begs the question of who is predominant in lebanon, has bala or the lebanese state itself. he said the lebanese people have been impoverished, but it also too are those of us watching from the sidelines, looks as though they're lebanese, people themselves are powerless and their own country. this seems to be centered on a political road that is beginning to spill into violence, powerless. i would say that they can be there, there can't be by standards. there are certainly words today with the,

with the most recent violence. i think the more important thing is to look is what can really be done the lebanese people. ready need to look at what's left, there's to decide, what are they going to continue down the path of functioning under the lebanese republic, or are they going to allow his body to run roughshod over their society? i think most lebanese don't feel comfortable with that. the question is, how do they politically change it? it's a very good question. especially when groups like has their allies, are willing to use arms and willing to use force to impose their well. so what questions and answers. but another sign that the, the raft that is lebanon, there are the lebanese state is, is, is thinking increasingly, and it's going to be interesting to see who, and under what circumstances tinker is with it to keep it afloat. there have been promises of foreign investment in foreign aid in order to try to keep that lebanese raft afloat. what do you think this latest action is going to do to the confidence

of those potential foreign investors? is going to reduce it and it's primarily, you know, there are several, several schemes, gambits, one over the provision of energy inside of lebanon. and there's a current battle between has bhalla, which is importing fuel into syria. and then dia, the syrian border in july. but on, for personal use to important and power stations that will work for a while. the west and the arabs are trying to bring it air of gas and other regional gas, including israeli gas. it seems to syria and lebanon, said that that can be used to generate electricity. there is a battle for the future. and the, the, the energy basis of lebanon, between the united states, on one hand, and has been on the other. really good to get your thoughts on this, andrew tell, but we appreciate you being with us and i'll just 0. thank you very much indeed.

thank you. taliban delegation is in turkey, as it continues a diplomatic push for support and international recognition. they've met the turkish foreign minister in ankara comes a day after talks and cut off with a group appealed to us and european officials, the end of kind of stands, isolating the taliban once the west to east financial restrictions that it says are crippling the country. and we advised to taliban administration once again that they should be inclusive for the unity of the country. we told them the importance of including all ethnic and religious groups in the administration of the country. we've underlined one thing and do not see this as a request from the west, but an expectation from the islamic world as well. we told them the importance of allowing girls to go to school and giving women the right to work. you know, as president joe biden says, his country will donate millions of vaccines to the african union in the coming weeks and made the announcement while hosting kenyan president who kenyatta the white house, mike and says,

washington will send 17000000 doses of the johnson and johnson vaccine to help fight corona virus on the continent, climate change and security. we're also merely agenda for to leaders. we're continuing our, our shared fight against united states and donated 2800000 doses of vaccine to kenya as part of a 50000000 doses. we've donated to the african union, and i'm proud to announce that today that we're making the additional historic one time donation is $74000000.00 doses of j j vaccine to the a you. and we're going to be centered some more the by the end of the year to our white house correspondent kennedy hawkins. following developments from washington dc. we know that the can you, president did campaign against corruption? 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 the 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, 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 is 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 an executive order, ready, possible sanctions, but not yet implemented them still hadn't al jazeera 5 years after an italian students body was found an addiction, egypt, a murder trial begins, but it's immediately suspended. but the judge and balis back. but where of all the tourists indonesia most popular island reopens after 18 months? ah, i reckon pamela made landfall on the coast of mexico then rushed across the land is remained now just remains i loads of moisture is being in training. this cold frontal system running through the southern plains states the u. s. tied to the head of it,

which is really winter cold. it's brought several centimeters of snow from anywhere from montana to the dakotas, noah down through the rockies. so that's the starting position that we have. this will be thunderstorms, possibly tornadic. again, we're talking about texas. they will probably need nor through arkansas and eventually up to the lakes. the circulation is weakening in the air that was cold. it was. but look at this, the potential for snowstorms are still there or down through colorado, possibly even further south or i think maybe not now, but the temperatures are on the low. so that was a shock to change season so quickly. it was slowly warm up. i think about how we get friday. the showers become rather more widespread on the eastern side of the u . s. and telephone together in texas. in fact, the concentration of sherry stuff further south is going to end up being this mass here, heading to towards honduras, nicaragua. and with the breeze coming down from the north, i think mexico will see widespread showers developed during saturday. and same is true of cuba. and hispaniola just to name 3.
