we take on us politics and society and that's the bottom line. mm mm. the, the hero world needs wash. ah ah. ready ready the battle ground of a route 6 killed and dozens injured as why will factions open fire in the lebanese capital? ah, i why money inside this is out? is there a lie from dough or so coming up?

who are a canal said becomes a 1st african leader to me, joe biden, at the white house is the u. s. pledge is 17000000 vaccine doses for the continent . thousands of georgians descend on the capital to demand the release of their former president who's been imprisoned over allegations of abuse. and why the biggest living species of fish in the world is on the thrust. what mexicans during to say, ah, a cautious com has returned to lebanon's capital off to being rocked by gunfire and rocket propelled grenades for more than 4 hours. tension over an investigation into last year's port explosion developed into the worst st balance in more than a decade. least 6 people have been killed. say, nevada is in beirut. she begins are coverage sniper fire,

gunfights 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 turned part of a route into a battle ground. the bullet 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 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 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 into last 2 years. explosion at the report has belong, i'll 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 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 agreements. the opposition is accusing,

has bala and of stating a coo and using arms to impose their will. ever since his beloved arms no longer had any function except fighting wars in syria or assuming agenda and now imposing on the new state, what the justice is allowed to do and not to do what the 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 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 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 blocked the domestic investigation into the lap. the balance of power is not in judge batteries favor, but he did try to take on the powerful, which is almost unheard of 11 on 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 claire, elisha zita, beirut, president, michelle,

i won't address the nation condemning the violence. i know you said he thought we will never any one who hijacked the conflict between what has happened to day will be followed on both levels of the judiciary and security. and investigations will reach better yellow sheet on the tooth. and the facts among those perpetrators will be taken to the court. the investigation of the barrett port blast will continue, because it's a commitment towards the lebanese people and towards the international community law based on the independence of the judiciary of. well, the violence unfolded as a senior us diplomat was in lebanon. the under secretary of state was meeting officials and announced $67000000.00 for the lebanese military. but she said she was concerned about the worsening security situation in beirut. we stress that a clean, impartial, independent judiciary is the guarantor of all the rights and the values that we as democracies hold dear and share again,

the lebanese people deserve no less. and the victims and families of those lost in the port blast deserve no less to days. unacceptable, violence makes clear what the stakes are. rom, curry is direct, a global engagement at the american university of beirut. he says the president's speech was reassuring. the country's issues a deeply entrenched and will be extremely difficult to solve. his comments are significant, they armies actions are significant. these are things that lebanese people like they want to have a decisive but fair government. but they can't unilaterally make decisions, they have to basically negotiate among the different sex area groups. and this is the weakness of the system that it's a perpetual bizarre, of political power and incumbency and influence. but the system has

collapsed. it's failed completely. the 7080 percent of the lebanese are poor. the, there's no, virtually no electricity. it's, it's unbelievable the degradation that has happened in lebanon to the governance system, to the society, and its interest structure and to the psyche and well being of the average citizen . it's almost unprecedented. there's very few countries in the world that are suffered this while the people responsible say in power. that's why i thought it, because it's such a historic significant figure, the judge for him to pursue this investigation with the vigor that he has as really unusual. and when the president says we're going to catch the people and hold them accountable again, you have to kind of listen to that carefully because you had a special tribunal for lebanon that was set up by the un, hundreds of millions of dollars, years of investigations. they finally convicted for people, some of them length has well and, and these people were never found,

has bella would never allow their people to be arrested or convicted like this. us president joe biden says he's country will donate millions of corona virus vaccines to the african union. in the coming weeks. he made the announcement while hosting canyon president. who can y'all to the white house, bought and says, washington will send 17000000 doses of fi, johnson and johnson vaccine to help fight corona virus on the continent. climate change on security were also on the agenda for the 2 leaders. commissioners were continuing our, our shared fight against coven united states, and donated 2800000 doses of vaccine to kenya as part of a 50000000 doses. we've donated that african union. and i'm proud to announce that today that we're making additional historic, one time donation is 74000000 doses of j j vaccine v a u. and we're going to be

transparency. so that's one key issue. the other comes down to security and that given geography and the fact that kenya is position so close to ethiopia, and the concerns about the warring factions of the to grey region. the u. s. president expect to also discuss that as well with the canyon president. how the leader can work in 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. for me. u. s. president. bill clinton has been hospitalized with a suspect to blood infection. in a statement, clinton spokesman says he's currently on the mend fountain, good spirits, doctors, a treating the 75 year old with antibiotics. they say he's responding well to treatment. and taliban delegation is in turkey as and continues a diplomatic push for support and international recognition. i've met the turkish
