a threat to life on earth. thanks for joining me nationwide protests are getting underway in lebanon as demonstrators keep up their demands for reforms and political change in one rally outside beirut thousands have gathered in support of president michel own he's been under heightened pressure to step down after his prime minister did so earlier this week anti-government rallies are due to kick off later lebanon has been swept by more than 2 weeks of demonstrations against a political class accused of corruption but the protesters also turned their rallies into joyous occasions. with the louvin they had mobile phones held aloft and a celebrity d.j. behind the decks it was as much a rave as

a protest but the thousands of people in tripoli's outdoor square had good reason to assemble that demand to overthrow the political class the does dominated lebanon for 30 years and with the resignation of the prime minister on october the 29th the protests seemed to be working there was no doubt that there was something of a party atmosphere at this demo and d.j. marty k. read the mood of patriotism by playing the national anthem. he seemed to proud to play a part in continuing the pressure for change. i am participating in the revolution to live in a decent country a country like any other country because this is not our country and there are so many things wrong i purchase are created to eliminate the wrong things and the protesters also recognized how music and a d.j.

can unite the crowd and he is uniting people through one music one type one speech we are all in the same rhythm the d.j. is causing great excitement he's making people stronger in the revolution the d.j.'s encouraging people a lot. of things and. in a country divided on sectarian lines this coming together is a strong indication of the reach of the protests that are now really gathering pace . for more i'm happy to welcome to w.'s i e bring him in the studio who has reported extensively from the middle east for us i welcome good to see you to be here so we know that there are 2 rival demonstrations to take place today in lebanon one for the president michel own and another against the entire government which will be getting underway fairly soon what are the 2. that lebanon faces currently i think it's not an exaggeration to say that the choice is between sort of radical change

a historical change in lebanon's history and more or less compromise and to understand this we maybe want to remind our viewers a little bit of lebanon's political system which is one of the most complex in the world in lebanon your religion or your sect is not just something that you practice in your private life it's something that really governs all aspects of public life and the government really reflects lebanon's sectarian diversity if you will the country has 18 recognise religious sects and all of them the constitution kind of guarantees for them to be part of the government somehow so parliament seats are allocated according to these different kinds of sects and also the 3 highest political offices are located according to the 3 biggest religious groups in lebanon so the prime minister has to be a sunni muslim the president a christian and the speaker of the house shiite muslim and right now the prime minister did resign he went to the president and he gave him his or his resignation but the president says you know we're going to now throw the ball back to the prime

minister and ask him to form a caretaker government and what the protesters are saying the ones that are opposing this move are saying you know what this is not radical enough what we want we want this entire sectarian political system to be gone completely if we just do this this is just a recycling of what we had before and that it's just not good enough for them at this point so that's the kind of trees the protesters are facing today on the streets of lebanon gone completely and gone now yes they want that's why they were here however this is a very complex thing one must say that what the protesters that are against this move are saying they say they want early elections with a revised electoral law that does not follow the secretary and other kitchen but one must say this is an incredibly this is a huge feat i mean this is a system that has been in place in lebanon goes all the way back to the ottoman empire. sort of enshrined in law by the french. and then it was reinstated after the civil war so it's definitely a huge but they want what they want now for the time being is a technocratic caretaker government not one that can like the one that we had

before under the leadership of president prime minister saad hariri for you briefly what we saw in this piece was a lot of young people taking place in this demonstrations with d.j.'s present people dancing these are parties as much as they are protests what kind of role are young people playing in the political evolution of lebanon today you know i think one could go in the kitchen and say you know lebanon is a country that knows how to throw a good party and certainly true but one protester told me you know i asked her i said you know what about this i mean even tripoli this is the conservative sunni north what's happening there you know she said you know this is a celebration of each other you know the lebanese people didn't have these options to just interact across sects on the street like this before and we're meeting each other as a people and you have to remember you know a lot of the people that are on the street they grew up after the civil war they don't remember why the sectarian system even exists and they don't really identify with it anymore and so there's no emotional attachment to having their government divided like that and they're out on the street trying to show that through and

then the very next to do is just throw a big party. abraham thanks so much for that. now lebanon isn't the only arab country facing massive protests iraq 2 is seeing calls for the government to step down protesters have lit fires in block roads in the capital baghdad more than $250.00 people have died in anti-government protests in the last month the demonstrators want to change the political order which they say is corrupt and has failed to deliver basic services. now to some of the other stories making news around the world hong kong riot police searched a shopping center clashing with protesters and making several arrests it comes a day after demonstrators. stations police used tear gas and water cannon in some of the worst violence since protests began 5 months ago. public offering for the state run oil giant aramco the company will list on the

glaciers are melting he's been determined to spread the word from kenya's kilimanjaro to the ice sheets of greenland he's seeing the same trend. take people to the mountains and i show them on the map where the glacier should be and then we stand there and there's no glacier and it's really amazing to them and that's what we have to do is show people quite a change not just talk about graphs and the science which is very important but i think we need real in your face this is happening now. the united nations has designated will gather a mountain here and his task and his passion is to show the world what he sees. he grew up near the athabaskan glacier in north western canada that's where he learned to climb through all this was under a pole where 50 or more meters of ice on her where we are right now when i was a kid and his cronies if they got it ice was right here 13 years ago now it's

a desert it directly impacts both my profession as a guide and that also impacts my family and just the fact that my kids probably will not see this in the same way as they are adults they're going to say oh dad remember it was wasn't too far of a hike from the parking lot now the glaciers god. gads outlook is bleak but he was the involvement of young activists like gratitude beck who are mobilizing against climate change even so no extreme winter or immediate course of action can stop the glaciers are melting he finds it hard to believe there are still climate change skeptics in abundance. don't think people are going to take climate change seriously until things like hurricanes are ripping through their place or it's just simply too hot to live there and then people get very interested in climate change but i think we're going to have some fairly cataclysmic events before people get to that point. these photographs show how the ice has retreated over the past

century. in recent years the process has accelerated. this has given rise to a new form of tourism for those who believe the climate science we wanted to experience it before it's all gone. climate change and how much it's receded there's just a this is a wonderful resource and and for it to be to dispirit it's faster than it is because something when i get up there now then you realize how fast it goes you know it's a shock when we are 70 years old it will be gone so it was until we were on the glacier that we said well it will be gone. so 1st it was a nice site and when we're on it and it was or. what was believed to be eternal ice is melting away well gad says it's time to take this seriously everybody. and our environment is changing and just like the animals other animals here it will

affect us this is not some kind of bird or something and this is like really straight up as that is happening i think we're going to have real problems and we're going to have real change we better start preparing for that. it's clear to we'll gather that our planet will look very different 50 years from now. whether future generations can withstand the effects of climate change or be doomed to suffer the consequences of our inaction he says it's up to us. in formula one to tarry botha's says taken pole position for sunday's us grand prix the finn has to win to have any chance of staying in contention for the title mercedes team mate lewis hamilton was only 5th fastest but will secure his 6th world championship in alston with 2 races left if he finishes 8th or higher for sebastian vettel is on the front row of the grid with botha red bulls max for stop and is 3rd in ferrari's shola clear lines up 4th. you're watching news coming up
