a 4th day of demonstrations. sunday drew the largest crowd yet all over lebanon anger at a corrupt political class and an ineffective government has reached boiling point. what is referred to these ministers and legislators should be thrown in jail the thieves who were borrowing money from other countries on behalf of the lebanese but then put it in their own pockets to get much done this government has done nothing but divide us as well as making us poor citizens must retain their dignity this is why we won't leave the streets without taking down the regime and forming a transitional government with exceptional powers to rebuild the country. right now . people can't afford it anymore there are no good schools no electricity and no water. basic needs in lebanon are not being met and these are the 2 months of each person here and. then almost all. that. i

began as a protest over proposed tax hikes turned into demand for sweeping change high unemployment poor public services and a soaring government debt as you noted lebanon's diverse religious sects in protest prime minister saad hariri on friday promised far reaching your forms but he was put under further pressure when lebanon's christian leader went on air and announced the withdrawal of his party from government to see if. they get born. just decide to toss them in and says to resign from government i. what that key and to insist on our demand to form a new government should. fall away from the current majority of ministers of music and highly. late on sunday reports emerged that the governing coalition had agreed . that would slash government wages cut the budget deficit and overhaul the

electricity sector. he will hope that the reform satisfy those calling for change on the streets. our correspondent is in beirut and joins us now by the government there is promising to address at least some of the protesters grievances are the demonstrators going to be satisfied with. no not really not really right now all the you know into. close. major cities and then and also the protesters close by building tell us so the scenes out this morning as lead was going to have the cabinet meeting at the presidential palace all the old way to the presidential palace. by the military post i mean. and. the force of the old old beat.

would. be think would take place. as it seems. right now the old the. old. packages made by the government to be announced in the next few hours what is known about the reforms that the government is promising at this point what can you tell us about the. one of the major. banking sector. they are down more than the $1000000000.00. to the members of parliament and. all the.

people. long ago. but the government didn't take any action on this. one the old. lebanon so all the. government. by another want the government know all there with all these political. sorry i just want to ask you that given that kind of pressure on the government that we've seen already foreign ministers resign over the weekend can this government survive. in the generally speaking yes it can survive. what's going to have been

next. and the major question no and lebanon all the news papers and lebanon. they said that. whether to go with me. we go again so. generally speaking the headline. so what could be next. what the government going to move do what the government announced today. major squares. don't come bad with the going to giants to follow up old the news coming from the i mean it's me ok and we'll be following that of course very closely with your help i read it in beirut thank you so much. over to london where british prime minister boris johnson is making a fresh attempt to win parliamentary backing for his last ditch brags that deal

after another defeat on saturday despite promises he wouldn't do this johnson was forced to request a delay to breaks it after m.p.'s postponed taking up his proposed deal to exit the european union but government wants to hold a so-called meaningful vote on the deal what will be up to the speaker of the commons right weather of the head. good obvious barbara visa is following all the twists and turns in london brussels she joins us now from london and barbara boris johnson is not giving up it seems what do you make of those around him who say that he can still get it done by october 31st. now he would say that kerry wouldn't he and his people of course came out over the weekend said yes we have the numbers. one wonders whether they really counted because british newspapers spent all of sunday sort of calculating up and down and looking at

spread sheets of which parliamentarian might sort of bend this way or that way and turned and so today they say it is too close to call if somebody just one single person has a problem and they're behind us or to change it his or her mind over night it might still go the other way bought but it is all in the hands off mr speaker john bercow the man who you know it's our turf so compellingly he will decide whether the government can bring the same motion again it did so on saturday and it was thwarted and they they want to do it again today very close said to resume a half year ago you can't just have parliament vote till you like the result so you might not allow it everything then will be pushed back till tomorrow and boris johnson's plans will really be done so the suspense continues in london where

does this leave brussels barbara or e.u. leaders inclined to give the u.k. another extension albright. i mean in the end despite of all the tough talk of mongrel mark prong and john carr and some other people they will of course they're not going to be the party sort of pushing britain over the brink would they under no circumstances so they might. be really really exasperated they might be looking at the spectacle of us in ever increasing sort of disbelief and lack of understanding but in the end of course they will but they are taking their time however they're leaving britain to sit is still in its own juices all through this week and only next week like 2 or 3 days before the breaks a date will they then say ok if it's not going to work out real we'll just give you another 3 months but for heaven's sake get on with it what about efforts to hold another referendum barbara we're seeing momentum for that growing among german

among british voters but is that momentum also building in the british parliament. so lisa lowy because what the opposition and the rebel forces are now trying to do 1st that is throughout the week is sort of slap amendments on the wrist drawled bill that would actually implement. domestic kili and they can do that and so there might be support for instance to force force on soon into a customs union support for a much softer breck's it and in the end that might also be this is a process going from day to day in the end there might then be the support to say we cannot resolve this politically we just need to ask the people again even some leavers some people who have supported practice it now say it needs to go back to the people because we're just running in circles barbara thank you very much.

barbara in london. now to some of the other stories making news around the world today australia's major newspapers have published redacted front pages in a coordinated campaign to protest against laws that restrict press freedom this follows federal police raids earlier this year on the national broadcaster a.b.c. and a news corp journalists home over 2 stories that had proved and verisign for the government . there been more violent protests in chile despite the government announcing the suspension of a controversial metro fare hike at least 2 airlines have canceled flights to santiago which has been put on a state of emergency officials report 7 people dead in fires related to the unrest . about it count in bolivia shows left wing president evo morales in the lead following sunday's vote but it might not be enough for an outright win a runoff may be necessary comment december russ's seeking an unprecedented 4th term

despite getting credit for lifting millions out of poverty critics accuse him of corruption and anti democratic rule. and following elections in switzerland the right wing people's party remains the strongest force in parliament there despite a slip in support green opposition parties made larger than expected gains because of the country's unique electoral system though it remains unclear whether the greens will become part of the government which parliament will vote for in december. canadians head to the polls today and it could be a nail biter for prime minister justin trudeau his campaign has been overshadowed by a series of errors that have raised allegations of racism and ethics violations recent polls show trudeau's liberals in a virtual dead heat with the conservatives and that could be good news for smaller parties like the left leaning new democratic party. in the lead up to kind of those elections it's been all but a smooth ride for prime minister justin trudeau his approval ratings drop to almost

record lows and his liberal party is engaged in the neck and neck race with the conservatives both are polling at around 30 percent. despite a strong economy and low unemployment trudeau's popularity dipped after a series of scandals like this old photo of trudeau wearing blackface or his violation of conflict of interest rooms. during the last weeks of campaigning to do is been trying to make up for his missteps often attacking his main opponent the conservative party here's the question you have to ask yourself do you want 53000000000 dollars worth of conservative cuts or do you want a progressive government that will continue investing in families and investing in communities that's the choice it's that simple. and it's not important.

it's not true those attacks aren't the only worry of conservative leader andrew scheer he is also quite unpopular according to the polls in one of the closest races in the recent years most of the conservatives and the liberals may not win a big enough majority to govern alone. this is where jack meet seeing a leader of the left leaning new democratic party could come into play with approval ratings soaring for his party saying could become the kingmaker of canada's election as a prospective partner in a liberal minority government i'm. here watching g.w. news still to call find out why it's becoming really tight in the buddhist league we ask if it's now the most competitive league in europe. protesters in hong kong have defied an official ban and staged more pro-democracy rallies so i'm turning violent tensions over 5 months of on the rest of spiked

industry should help pay for the crisis he doesn't use out of town or phenomena reports from maryland about how the opioid epidemic is impacting people's lives. just take it out the box hold your thumb on the bottom of the plunger and press one time and whichever national you prefer they are learning how to use narcan nasal spray that can help reverse an opioid overdose 1st responders social workers especially members of people on the front lines of america's crisis the health of crossman's recommends to training to anyone working with the public or we're trying to target the mandate community to get them narc in i know for sure for a fact we have saved several lives just putting this in the hands of those who need it. brian overly completed the training but he tells me he never expected to needed here in his library but he did when a visitor with symptoms of an overdose was discovered in the restroom at the

library and used narcan to save his life we've never had anyone cross this line before we've had to call the ambulances before we call the police sometimes but we've never had anyone fully pans out like this so it is perhaps more telling of the appeal would have taken an epidemic as a whole. that it is now becoming visible. maryland ranks among the top 5 states in the u.s. in related overdose deaths it has seen a nearly 300 percent increase since 2010 they also it is believed pharmaceutical companies have been fueling the crisis maryland's attorney general has filed charges against purdue pharma accusing the company of engaging in the sept of trade practices to sell highly addictive painkillers such as oxycontin they knew what to

do to proper use and the fact is that many people became addicted to heroin because they couldn't afford oxycontin they became addicted to certain opioid medications and switched to her own because it was cheaper maryland is just one example for how america is struggling with the epidemic cities and counties across the united states have filed thousands of lawsuits over the crisis targeting every facet of the health care industry from drug makers to pharmacists to individual doctors they wants to industry to pay up to recoup the costs borne by communities grappling with widespread addiction. communities like this one in maryland where they desperately need help to fight the epidemic but they also. the want the pharma industry to admit their wrong doing and stop it. he has of xander for a nominal reporting there now australian airline quantas has completed the longest

a win but they were facing hosts often i'm who lost much they had beaten the reigning champions by and so let's see how that all shook out hoffenheim welcome shall cut to the southwest looking for back to back wins off the last match stage victory of a boy and it would have to be a nother upset with david wagner's side meeting just 3 points to go chop off the match day 8 and shall quite close off to just 3 minutes daniel caligiuri clipping the outside of the post with a sumptuous free kick close but not close enough. as they did against by and it was hoffenheim who struck 1st though alexander knew bill could only parry for the last baby on break a march to the wrist one nil to the hugs. the croatia. and 1st goal of the season arriving in the 72nd minutes. and they put the game to bed in the 85th minute babeu racing clear of the shellcode offense. before applying the finishing

touch to wrap things up. nightmare defending from shall go on cloud 9. 02 nil the final score of wagner's side holds it as the hoffenheim revival continues. we're on a 2nd time in a row that shall have had the opportunity to go top and then basically mess it up themselves ok we now have 9 teams just 2 points apart at the top what does this say about the level of the bundesliga right now well it's definitely an exciting time to be a bundesliga supporter i mean yes as you mentioned just 2 points separating 1st and 9th and that makes it choose the competitive next to the other leagues in europe let's take for example france where it's 10 points italy 11 england 13 points separating surprising for us tonight which isn't that uncommon i mean last season the bundesliga had 11 an 11 point gap at this point the season it does mean that

there's a real lack of consistency of the top teams but we can take a look at the table to see just how tight things are i mean mention got behind both for basically leading the pack which not a lot of people would have expected but all those teams that by and dortmund leipsic shock of freiburg are the exception but even later coups and frankfurt teams that you could conceivably see challenging at least in the top 6 if not the top 4 so as i say really exciting for bundesliga fans for neutrals i'm for fans of these clubs who are going to see a real title race it looks we have a full of the season played over see it's early days but a lot of teams struggling to find that extra bit of consistency and as i mentioned next to the other leagues where there's a huge gap where usually $1.00 to $2.00 maybe 3 teams are really competing for the title right now it's really interesting to see who will even be just thing for those top 6 boats by the end of the season you're talking a consistence a buy on of course are in that mix at the top but i understand that all is not well

in that area you know i mean i personally think they really made a mistake this summer in leaving a very late with signings they had 2 very early defensive reforms reinforcements that they signed that they had to more needs must and that proactive planning and then were very slow in the transfer market and made some. late moves and now. they're starting center back has been injured he's got a crucial ligament his 2nd crucial ligament of his career and that's really decisive and because he's a defensive player who relies on his pace and strength and that can really affect you as a football player one of the worst injuries to have the reinforcements story the replacements for him that they have really leave a little bit to be desired for a title winning side or a side with those ambitions tomorrow on tuesday they're going to face olympiakos paris in the champions league where everything is going really well for them but it's 2 weeks now in the bundesliga 2 match days without a win so it's going to struggle for them max thank you so much t w is max merrill from to every sport. sky watchers were in for
