establishment have also been making their voices heard earlier thousands gathered outside barrett to show solidarity with president bush i would who's under pressure to go. date of your reporter abraham said before today extensively from the middle east and guide us through what's happening. so approach and establishment protesters on the streets at the moment what sorts of choices is lebanon facing well lebanon right now is at a sort of crossroads right i mean the protesters went out on the streets they were just demanding the end of corruption is and. more jobs and things of the like they were really calling for a radical change in the political system that governs lebanon as a whole now lebanon has one of the most complex political systems in the world it's ruled by something called the political sectarianism so it's by all means a democracy but sectarian political sectarianism. implies that or requires that

the country's 18 religious sects are somehow involved in some sort of power sharing agreement and this translates to the allocations of seats in parliament but also the 3 highest political offices in the country that is the presidency the prime ministership and the speaker of the house and these are divided among the 3 major religions now the prime minister did indeed resign but that this done that does not mean that the system itself has changed so the president accepted there is ignition but also said ok now you go and you start a caretaker government to we have new elections and then you and a new government and some process are saying hey wait a 2nd this is this means nothing has changed we're back at square one what we want now is a technocratic government not from the political elite why we do new elections that are that do not adhere with this sectarian political allocation and so this is really the choice now it's either they say stay in the. hold their ground and hold

it through for more radical form or this there is this kind of reform that the president is now asking for a new government and that some people are saying ok let's give him a chance maybe this will lead to something and some are saying no we don't trust these faces they've been ruling the country for 30 years and that's more than i've heard you say very ruling the country for 30 years so why are these protests happening now i think you know we've seen these protests and they really dominated by a much much younger generation that i think you know grew up in the post civil war lebanon and you know the terrorism has very very deep roots in lebanon's history it all goes all the way back to the ottoman empire was put into law by after the french occupation but was reinstated after the civil war to ensure that the different political religious groups in lebanon can live together and that this power sharing can ensure peace but these young people all they have from the power sharing or all they've seen from this power sharing set up is corruption lack of employment and they don't really identify with this kind of division of power and

they don't see that it makes a lot of sense a 2nd reason i think is that you know that you have a very highly educated. youth in lebanon lebanon is a country that used to export a lot of workers abroad but in the past 10 years or so because of various reasons around the world opportunities for migrations of also decreased and young people are at home they're highly educated they're not find opportunities in their in their home country and you know now they say enough is enough abraham thank you. for some of the stories making news around the world a knife attack in a shopping mall in the hong kong has left at least 5 people wounded the suspect reportedly shot to probation slogans as he attacked pro-democracy protesters including a local politician the rampage cops another day of clashes between demonstrators and security forces. london's valerie's community has how the mass of a catholic church to honor the $39.00 people who died in a refrigerated truck container last month the villain raised migrants and tried to

if everything was organized very professionally to take care of the people a medical team was on hand to ensure media systems if needed as far as i could see everyone immediately received something to eat and drink. on the authorities did everything they could to ensure the work with those run quickly and smoothly. you know. when the german flagged vessel picked up the migrants and libyan waters on october 26th the libyan coast guard responded by firing warning shots. they just suddenly are. basically says most of the migrants will be transferred to other e.u. countries germany france portugal and are lent of agree to take the men and italian commercial ship carrying about $150.00 migrants was also allowed to dock in a city on sunday in contrast to the private rescue ships it didn't have to wait for

a look into into iran code to see how it works if they do open it up more widely internationally climate complainers right now are talking about you know having less fossil fuel and separating fossil fuel from money so in some ways this moves towards. towards things like. the opposite direction basically and they've constantly bottles efforts to cut carbon emissions so it's going to see more of a focus on fossil fuels rather than less so in terms of the overall energy market in some ways it's going to be a different direction from what we've been looking for before and so is that what's behind the saudi arabia's idea of diversifying its economy away from oil well i think one of the things that they've talked about that prince mohammed bin solomon has always said is that they eventually do need to get out of oil they've got maybe 70 years of oil left in saudi arabia so they're thinking about a post oil world and as i've said you know 70 percent of the revenue comes from oil so they're looking at things like. they're looking at tourism in

a big way there's been a lot of efforts recently to promote tourism and they're looking at manufacturing renewable energy growth and focus on small and medium sized enterprises so they're basically looking for any other way on the other way to generate revenue we've seen places like the emirates they've bought. football teams are 6 months easy in the emirates airlines and things about haven't seen as much of that coming from saudi arabia so they've got a lot of pressure on them too they're feeling a lot of pressure not to diversify they do actually have 10 percent unemployment too so it's this over reliance on oil even though it's a very very rich country and they still have a lot of issues economically that they need to do it so well to take in they will say we'll see how that goes for another cliff a current from date of the business thank you. sport and lewis hamilton is just hours away from a potential 6th form in a long title the british drive it needs to finish 8th or better the u.s. grown pretty to secure the championship it was only 50 asked a single qualified but with
