3:36 pm
we've seen a feature about who this man is. we've heard about his background and his credentials but do you think that given the cirircumstancese. given the statate of f things in that. only has a chance of making this work. well thank you for having me goodd eveveni. actually that's a good question- so mr idbs man has been appointed pririme minister after after consultations. conducted today but already already he's facing a lot of rejection from the streets. and he's been knownn to them these people he has no political track record of power. he is not really y political mararchig toto conducts. the reforms in augusta reforms thahat are needd inin lebanonon and he's he's perceived by thehetreetsnd by the opposition the thought what are the resolution. as a leadining man- sort of cover for e political leaders for the signaturee andnd mafia is actuay in power in lebanon rigight now which- really hinders. his ability to conduct the reforms
3:37 pm
and you are an expert on an interested observer the question i'm asking is how can someone who was say yesterday and a bass that i. have the. credentialals to suddenly become prime minister. well that's for the you know i he's not exactly. an ambassador in the classical way he's been appointed ambassssador by his former b bo- we got t. and- which is actually has actctually known..o knowledge of. how to conductt a government on how to form a government of technocrats in how to conduct. negotiations that are much needed and mostt of all he is nervrvous hee hasao need t to tennessee from the strereets he hahas no politicicl legigitimacy whichch- will maket very difficult for him.. to conducuct his das ende because nobody in the street is actually cast a vote in his favor to say that he should be elected or empower. does disappointment in many ways and reflect the wider problem in lebanon the whole point about thee system- jobs a friend's. private agreeeements things
3:38 pm
behind closed doorsrs the people being frozen out the typype of things that the protest. as one to change. . exactly it really know it the third. of justin rejection if it's similar to diaz rejection and it really shows that in lebanon right not the political and economic in the center situation has reached. a point of no return and it's actually why my crohn's visage was- anxiously expected in and why actually. the lebanese people really rely on trump's to do sort of supports- the revolution sort ofof supports as civil society that is tryiying to gather up- n opposition movements at the moment spent eleven is looking fofor outstside financial help . to bring about change and to make things better for the people out one of the riders that goes with that is reform of the system on your mac on carrying that messagege again hs second visit of course. since the explosion on august the fourth- i mean how important is
3:39 pm
it for lebanon that micron's words a are not onlyy heard but acted upon. so it would actutually be vital to lebanon and to top my cruise was acted upon. actually the problem is we're not exactly sure what that it's good that they are going to be you know ii feel that this is s a very strong contrasts with- that his first visit to lebanon and beginning of august- his first visit was really to endorsing to bring. supports just it was just while now he's been greeted at the airporty phone he's going to meet. officials tomorrow of course he's- going to meet a lot of civil society representatives. but everything lies in- basically not only from supporting not only micro support but really. the lebanese civil society and opposition movements to be able to gather and shoot you nice to present a united front center actually. pressure on the

3:54 pm
designate the stuff i did this he was a walk about here mark and- one of the sun on this but let's just say he didn't get a very warm welcocome- i in the neighborhood that have been devastated by the beirut last.t. week the protest movement don't want you you are from the ruling elites not the people so. understand the still alarm of anger. among celebrities people a month after the blast on the sense that their body polilitic let them down badly. at this is that the spelling of the previous prime minister hassan di ob. and mustafa a deep do. you have an i. d. does actually one. it's this it's same as- x. and i. if you like it so do you have any. and so what they've done here is they've come. after aroround theree more to s. it's just like move the pieces arouound on e e on on thee- on e spot publicly t taken just m mog the pieces around it's not rereally changing anything. the superficial change. this is another image illustrating the same. thing sort of iphone s. iphone s. six s. iphone six iphone six s. what's the difference really. you know it's kind of it just not not changing much. that's a more vulgar illustration of the same sentiments. with middle fingers
3:55 pm
in the place of fat one of the letters in the name. and finally this comment two sides of the same coin so three expressing the same sentiment the whole way through and this. this is saying is- in a more. and i suppose like more detailed with an interview by. i mean okay yeah i'm an expert at the london based international institute for strategic studies. he saying the system is kind of defending itself in other words the lebanese establishment. all the while it is still sinking so with with the boat is going down and it's yet still trying to kind of. shuffle the same. memberss of the deck of cards if you like twenty times- so live up there's always a lot more teeth in that interview but that's the essence of what makes a real sense than to. use that line from the song by the who meet the new boss same as the old boss. that's exactly it and- won't get fooled again perhaps i might let's hope they don't right. next to the controversy here in france. because we're in france. a left wing mp of african heritage. was depicted as a slave in cartoons published by. the far riright magazine. this is not correct to l. and to the- this that the they they had at their
3:56 pm
most recent. issueue was on. sot of rising upon rest i'm very they were very heavily focused on the idea of bono's net that's race daniel so. in that issue there was a kind of a fictional story. and this is a summer series at that hardware. all the politicians referred were featured in other fictional stories for example from suffield former prime minister presidential contest. he was fifth featured in this story- customers have ever ever evever figuree back in the timef the revolution right. and she was. cast. in the story back in the time of slay. and offer. and they were one image her. at you can see it here on our own twitter account work that's- her that's a depiction of her. with chains are her neck no matter trailers. there was nothing. about this we were. her in the ashes. context because she frequently questions france's role. in in in in in colonization and- slavery and blah blah and- so we were just sort of. put you in that period of history. at two took took took to right some wrongs in terms of how she would depepict. it sounds it sounds like somomeone saying i
