countries you check october on al jazeera, we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter what we've been using kind of for that matter to you. a, a day of morning in lebanon after the biggest st battle in bay roots in more than a decade. ah, sammy's a dan. this is al jazeera alive from dell hall. so coming up, pledge to help africa, fight the pandemic. the u. s. president promises to send millions more vaccines to the continent. standing out for their former president protest is in georgia. call for the release of mikhail 2nd philly. and why the largest species of fish in the

world is on the threads and how mexico is trying to save it. ah, lebanon is observing a day of national morning, off the bay roots were st. violence and more than a decade, 7 people were killed when the city was rocked by gun fire and rocket personnel propelled grenades on thursday. many more were wounded. the day began as a protest against are organized rather by has blah antics allies over the bay route port explosion investigation. but it descended in 2 hours of gun fights with unidentified snipers on rooftops. santa calder reports from beirut. 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 longtime enemies, turned part of a route into a battle ground. bullets bounce from buildings as people ran for cover. and children evacuated from school, i thought a lot, 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 clashes are now in their 3rd hour. it is one of the most serious about the 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 tonic baton. they blamed the lebanese forces for the attack, a charge, the group denied. hop 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. emma are threatening to pull their ministers, which means an entire sect would be absent in violation of the country, sectarian power sharing, agree. the opposition is accusing, has bela and all 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 a judge can decide or can 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 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 elite 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 in lebanon 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 could their l. shahita, beirut, lebanon's prime minister says it's not the job of politicians to intervene in the judiciary. la hawk gladly removing the prob, judge is not up to politicians. we have a stand the prob,

judge should 1st preserve the laws and the constitution many, including myself, may believe there is a constitutional error. but the judiciary has to decide and that body can rectify itself, not the politicians, and president michelle out, and denounced the fact that weapons are being used as a form of communication among rivals. from cory is the director of global engagement at the american university of a root. he says the president's speech was reassuring the country's issues a deeply entrenched and will be difficult to solve. his comments are significant. the 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 this 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 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 4 people,

some of them length hezbollah and, and these people were never found, has below, would never allow their people to be arrested or convicted like this to, i've got to stand now where the taliban has appointed the game. how connie, as acting chief of the supreme court, is considered close associates of multnomah dominant groups, founder and former leader connie was the head of the cold during the leadership of hammered monsalud, who was killed in 2016 us and strike. the announcement comes to month after the holiday bound to power deckers live for us in cobble. so what we know about how are they and what kind of reaction is there been enough canister to this news? while he's not a newcomer? as you mentioned there he was the shadow chief justice for the last couple of years under the taliban. he's also believed to be very close to the groups leader happen to lagonzalez. so he's also been politically involved. he headed the inter afghan

talks in doha. he was the head of that delegation. so he is someone who's been around. he's now been appointed as the internet man, a supreme court justice of afghanistan. he's a religious scholar. i don't think it's a surprise at the taliban have appointed one of their very sort of center circle as in that position. but certainly as we have a diplomatic push, sammy with the taliban delegation currently being in doha and turkey. sorry, they've been in di, they'll begin to moscow in 5 days from now and a lot of the message from the national communities talking about an all inclusive governance in this country. so he is part of the hackney group, a very powerful group, a group that has designated a terrorist organization by the united states, members of the ha, connie group, also in charge of the acting interior minister, the acting, the minister of refugees, a very powerful group here so it just shows you the complexities of the makeup and of what kind of negotiations are going on between the americans between, you know, other foreign countries and the taliban. the reality is i me,

they're here to stay and certainly very difficult negotiations because the country is facing massive challenges. okay. and the same time we've had this sir taliban diplomatic offensive meeting delegations of countries around the world. how is that, or is that translating in through any improvement in life of people on the ground there? it's a good question. i think that should the short answer is no, absolutely not. no one is recognized as government yet as legitimate authority of afghanistan. what does that mean practically? it means that millions and millions of billions of dollars are being withheld. that money that is desperately needed here at this country's collapsing. i don't think that is an overstatement. it's not an exaggeration. that is also the warning from the aid agencies i spoke to the un yesterday and they were saying, you know, it, you've got over a 3000000 displaced people. that's not even counting a lot of the people affected by drought who cannot feed themselves. salaries haven't been paid, you know, bureaucratic workers,

taliban fighters salaries haven't been paid, people cannot feed themselves. so yes, it's important that negotiations and talks are continuing, but nothing, nothing has really filtered down. and also yes, there's talks of mechanisms to inject money through the aid agencies. but again, those mechanisms haven't been established and we don't know how it's going to look like how quickly that money is going to trickle down to those who need it most. and it is certainly a desperate situation, particularly as winter is coming. thanks so much. stephanie decker focused on international airlines is suspending operations in the afghan capital p . i complains of security concerns and taliban heavy handedness. an airline spokesman. so staff and crew was subjected to intimidation by the group. and thought, yvonne gov was reportedly asked the airline to caught ticket prices. company says it's not clear how long the suspension will last. us president joe biden has pledged to donate millions of corona virus vaccines to the african union in the

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 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. i still hadn't al jazeera paying tribute to an african icon. people and begin a vasa. remember the man, the former president tried to remove from history a royal tale take center stage at the london film festival. how far does it stray

wildly from reality. ne baka has this report. gracing the red carpet, kristin stewart, the latest actor to lay her reputation on the line, playing one of the world's most photograph women, the 2 marriage princess diana and prince charles has been depicted before waits. but spencer diana's maiden name is something darkly different. we came at this with such love and even if everyone hated it, it kind of it would be okay because we really did just put everything we had into it and we loved her so much and just wanted understand her and sort of fantasize about her for an hour and a half and you know, i hope everyone likes it. i mean i love everyone loves it. like as much as we love her. gillian director pablo lorraine takes view is beyond the news headline to to a gothic nightmare set over 3 days. it follows diana, which she reluctantly joined the royals for christmas as her marriage to prince charles crumbles as eating, drinking and shooting and the ghosts of queen's past is anything but

a true story. and that doesn't seem to matter or does it the power of the story does make it fascinating. and from that point of view, i was very intrigued by it. equally. i did feel that the director knew how to cash diana, but not to tell a story with any link to fact. now if you're expecting a royal reaction to all of this, well, i think again, the house of windsor is notoriously tight lipped when it comes to unwanted attention. and it's precisely that silence the filmmakers have filled with their own interpretation of what's going on behind palace wolf. spencer follows the success of domestic series. the crown. 73000000 households worldwide chewed into the royal drama, which sees him 5 starting in november. netflix has been under pressure from british government ministers to issue a disclaimer. making clear the show is fiction. netflix has refused this. he is
