peace both the protesters thousands of which marched the streets again today and middle eastern creditors and western donors who've added their voices to the protests expressing concerns about corruption lebanon is one of the most indebted countries in the world and this religiously diverse nation is standing united in its condemnation of high unemployment poor public services and corruption. they are trying to fool us it is enough let them leave us alone we need a new life. if we don't you know nothing we should stay here in order to accomplish all our goals we should not listen to what was regime is promising knows because it never implements his promises we need to see action in order to decide what our next steps will be out of. the reform package was meant to calm the situation but protesters said it does not go far enough.

now to another nation experiencing public unrest chile is also reeling after 3 days of protests deadly violence and looting demonstrations in the capital santiago over the weekend led to at least 11 deaths more than $1500.00 people arrested a planned hike in public transport fares sparked the unrest that's now being counseled by protesters remain angry over inequality and high living costs more than 10000 soldiers and police officers have been deployed in santiago. another day of protests in chile. thousands have taken to the streets once again in santiago and fell power i.e. so. the military used tear gas and water cannon to disperse the crowds of demonstrators president sebastian pinera sent in the troops to maintain order after a weekend of chaos in several cities. there were deaths amid violent clashes arson

attacks and looting the cause was a planned hike in public transport fares angry rioters set this garment factory on fire on sunday 5 people died here the president declared a state of emergency. and. we're at war with a powerful relentless enemy that that respects nothing or anyone and is willing to use violence and crime without any limits. even when it involves the loss of human lives. many residents of santiago tried to get back to normal life the city's metro reopened. as did a small number of supermarkets where people waited in long lines to be let in. motorists also faced long waits to fill up. thank you that's a bit of a quiet morning compared to the previous days at least after everything i heard

during the night it looks calm now imagine it will be worse to be honest. but total calm seems a long way off with the protests showing no signs of letting up. the 1st polls have closed in canada's national election and it's expected to be a nail biter for prime minister justin trudeau tradin his family along with him as he cast his ballot he's reelected and campaign has been shaken by allegations of racism and ethics violations recent polls show trudeau's liberals neck and neck with the conservatives and that could be good news for some smaller parties. now as mentioned just introduce campaign has been rocked by a series of scandals let's take a look at some of the problems the incumbent prime minister has been facing. 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 palling 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 rules. 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 important. but 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

recent years both the conservatives and the liberals may not win a big enough majority to govern alone. this is where jack singh leader of the left leaning new democratic party could come into play with approval ratings soaring for is already saying could become the kingmaker of canada's election as a prospective partner in a liberal minority government. let's bring in correspondent pablo for the las who joins us from downtown ottawa pablo we understand polls are starting to close in some places and we saw the prime minister casting his ballot how was the voting process overall. hi well it's been a hectic day here as you said the polls are beginning to close across the country the 1st newfoundland and labrador have already closed and over the next few hours

we'll be seeing have the bigger provinces of cut back on as far as british columbia in on the west coast close and the results come in pretty quick here in canada we're hearing that within 30 minutes 45 minutes even an hour if it's a little bit tighter we could see the results coming in and of course everybody is glued to television sets across the country because this is a tight race will justin trudeau liberals hold on to power will the conservatives just get ahead of them and how will those smaller parties like the n.d.p. the greens fare and of course just over the water behind the parliament building here is back where live blog. the backer and nationalist party are expected to do better than they did in 2015 so it's still all to play for tommy you mentioned the 2 main parties pre-election polls put them so close and some are even calling this indecision 20 nineteen's why all canadians having such

a hard time making their minds up. well justin trudeau liberals have disappointed many of those who voted for justin trudeau back in 2015 because of numerous scandals and also because of some environmental measures that he took place in the west of canada allowing an oil pipeline be built which has also meant that some of his party supporters have gone to other parties such as the greens and then amongst young voters they're feeling a little bit sort of jaded with the 2 main parties of the liberals on the conservatives and the n.d.p. have done a very good online campaign which seems to have struck a chord and like i said over and kept backlit bloc have a quad it seems to have also garnered a lot of support there so it's really so tight it's so difficult to see how it's going to end up and we could actually have to wait till the last writings writings or the electoral districts here in canada in british columbia on the west coast

actually bring in the results to finally see who is going to be governing canada for the next 4 years or saying here if it's a weak government only last 2 years but we'll have to wait and see over the next few hours how things pan out ok pablo foley yes and also a thank you. abortion and same sex marriage have just become legal in our land as of midnight local time a last ditch attempt by conservative politicians to block the legislation failed the changes to northern ireland's laws was set in motion by an intervention from the british government which has been running northern ireland since the posh sharing agreement broke down 3 years ago. opponents of abortion faced off with its supporters in front of the northern ireland parliament the body hasn't met in the 3 years and so the british government passed a law both abortion and same sex marriage for the country bringing it into line

with the rest of the u.k. . so i figure like we're happy that it happens maybe not so happy that it doesn't come from our government. but i think of the victory not though of dozens of northern irish assembly members briefly returned to their parliament in the hope of stopping the new abortion law just think of that for a moment northern ireland will have the most liberal abortion laws anywhere in europe i think it is a shameful day for those who haven't come. and it was the nationalist parties who refused to attend a new northern ireland government could not be formed to vote on the rule change and that meant both abortion and same sex marriage became legal at midnight. now how about this for heavenly how about this heavenly space for
