rallies into joyous occasions. with illuminated 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 out of north 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 seem to be working there was no doubt that there was something of a party atmosphere at this demo and d.j. mahdi 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

a 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 clap 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 i don't get. 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 di w.'s i even to him in this studio who has reported extensively from the middle east for us i welcome good to see. you have 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 under way fairly soon what are the choices 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 recognized 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

a 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 is just not good enough for them at this point so that's the kind of choice the protesters are facing today on the streets of lebanon gone completely undone now yes they want that's why they were here however this is a very complex thing 11 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 6. in other question 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 was sort of enshrined in law by the french occupation 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 unlike the one that we had before under the leadership of president prime ministers out of haiti for you briefly what we saw in this piece was a lot of young people taking place in those demonstrations with d.j.'s present people dancing these are parties as much as they are protest what kind of role are young people playing in the political evolution of lebanon today you know i think one could go with the cliche 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 sort out through something that they would like to do is just throw a big party. abraham thanks so much for that. lebanon isn't the only arab country facing massive protests iraq seeing calls for the government to step down from have lit fires and block roads in the capital baghdad more than $250.00 people have died in antigovernment protests in the last month the demonstrators want to change the political order which they save corrupt and has failed to deliver basic services. now to some of the other stories making news around the world hong kong riot police have searched a shopping center clashing with protesters and making several arrests it comes a day after demonstrators set fire to street barricades in metro stations police
