everybody wanted to finish with hezbollah but at that time i was president and hezbollah was that and they couldn't do it of course has my leg should stay it should stay because if it to i didn't fox's my law and i said it in 2006 at the beginning when all the confessional people didn't want they wanted to give up their arms and i said if you 2 i can talk them and 96 weeks is that i live with that i have to beirut like in the 82 and it should be there with the gowans so now that's why i'm telling you when it is that he couldn't beat us from the military point of view now what they are thinking is from the economic and point of view and they are trying to get into our view on our young people most of them are gostin fog dang riots and they are gripe about it they don't want conflict that lets them and they don't want to talk rapture and just on that you've talked previously about the corruption and the corruption in lebanon you've talked about how the assassination of there is farther afield career he was assassinated over squabbles over money just about the demonstrations going on tod

sadly having to me it was because they said sad that i have is being lenient was has about hezbollah that's all but all is well it's everything is there and now he hasn't lost a lot after his father died is father was much more assured that than them but now they're coming back to the companies they want to settle again like that sadly luck like the water they wanted to buy the this salad they worked i said make why don't you make by god jesus and not one drop of water will go to d.c. and you have a lot of thought that he left on some of them is that i had taken that and that's why i said we should stay at the walk and then we get our job as a chef and they want that as well but the what is happening is that now all have caught up in their pocket is there don't want think clean government because if they have a clean government if for example they're going to. i mean to cause a sign you are out then everybody will go to cracow but when you get it becomes prime minister nobody will bring it to cook and now they deny it's not true everybody knows that they're mad they take money at the

share movements clashed with protesters in the capital beirut police intervened after supporters of hezbollah and amal attacked demonstrators who are demanding government change now this is some of the worst violence in more than a month of demonstrations live now to beirut our correspondent there is enough harder is this an indication then that the the common purpose that was being expressed by lebanese it would have appeared is now cracking and there is an element of sectarianism creeping in to the demonstrations. well there is no doubt that mainly sectarian parties in lebanon continue to have support among the people what we saw last night violence and unrest at least for 3 hours this area where we are became a front line that bridge behind me the ring road a main artery in beirut was where protesters were demanding a change in government were blocking roads and then supporters of the mainly shia parties amel and has a large carrying their party flags chanting the names. their leaders attacked them using metal rods and clubs as they made their way towards the protest site the protest site

law and maybe it can raise some questions yet many political figures from hezbollah have condemned. but whether they have condemned it or not when you have a political party with more than a 1000000. 1000000 citizens who are the fraud this political party you can't control a 1000000 maybe a few 100 of these people want to want to resort to this. and maybe they are not educated enough maybe. they want to show that. they're very sure and there's obviously a lot of. going on here about what's motivating a lot of people but all 3 of you have talked about at the heart of all of this and the heart of this protest movement where economic grievances and that's really where this all began and that's what brought people out onto the streets is this deep economic crisis and now things seem to be deteriorating even further so i want to take a look at this the shortage in u.s. dollars has now caused several businesses to close and many people to lose their jobs it's also driven up the cost of goods in a country where almost everything is imported and now banks have reopened but many of also put

i don't know it has a great deal to do with hezbollah itself. think hezbollah was a fan of hariri's and would like him to stay put. hezbollah itself, you're quite right, is an extraordinary organization and it does have global connections. it's a very mature organization. it's very careful in its decision-making process. we're watching very carefully its activities in the middle east right now how -- if it would respond to iran. in our view, it has no interest in going to war with israel, for instance. it has a high bar for any attacks against the united states. nusrala is a pro. >> what is its capability and have you seen any nexus between them and groups south of the border? there was long thought to be a relationship between them and the tri-border area, what about closer to our border, is there any potential for that kind of relationship? >> in this session, i don't think we can get into that. i need to do that in a closed session. >> fair enough. let's talk about the mexican drug cartels we see south of the border. i'll direct this to you,

hezbollah attack this protest site what they did last night was attack the protest site in the southern city of tire which is a traditional stronghold of those 2 parties really that protest site has become a thorn in. in their side because this tent within their own ranks is quite aware so the situation has entered a very dangerous phase many consider what happened last night as a message from the ruling alliance that we're ready to force we're ready to resort to violence to protect our political power what the anti political establishment protesters have been demanding is early elections and an independent government a nonpartisan government but the ruling coalition says no that is not going to happen yes we will accept a number of independents in the next in the next government but there needs to be political representation so the political deadlock is is dangerous a deeply divided the society and in the middle are the security forces the police the army they're walking a very fine line they're trying to to remain neutral because if they are seen as taking sides then historically we'v

hezbollah has been defending the status quo the iranian backed group is worried that if it is left out of the government it would weaken its power protesters are demanding independent politicians govern until early elections. tensions are escalating sources close to the president say he will hold binding parliamentary consultations to nominate a new prime minister on thursday that could be a tactic to pressure howdy to change his position or the ruling alliance may push the. head with what will be seen as a one sided government. such a government would risk being perceived as hezbollah controlled and could face sanctions from the u.s. which lists the group a terrorist organization it's a dangerous period without a deal that will satisfy all parties for their violence is like. beirut. at least 21 people have been killed by an earthquake in albania the 6.4 magnitude tremor struck the capital tirana and cities in the west and north injuring more than 600 people it's the 2nd to hit the country in 2 months and the hayward reports . the most powerful earthquake to hit albania in decades and

of hezbollah which wants a religious and sectarian system of government so this is we have to wait to hear what he has to say but in the meantime we're also waiting for the president to set a date to start binding parliamentary consultations in order to choose a new prime minister so the political crisis there there are politicians behind the scenes in gauging and discussions seeing how to resolve this crisis but the message from the street is very clear we want the whole ruling elite to leave not just the prime minister who has already resigned a few days ago we want the president to resign we want you elections saying no thank you for that phenomena and saying the whole of the nation and they vote thank you so there is concern on whether the already fragile economic situation and lebanon might get worse it's one of the most heavily indebted countries in the world over nearly $86000000000.00 that's more than $130.00. the cent of the country's g.d.p. most of the national budget goes to was paying back loans and covering public sector wages and spending often exceeds income and lebanon

change in government were blocking roads and then supporters of the mainly shia parties amel and hezbollah carrying their party flags chanting the names of their leaders attacked them using metal rods and clubs as they made their way towards the protest site of the protest site in martyrs square you will now see how the tents have been destroyed by the supporters of hezbollah i have to mention that this is not the 1st time an incident like this has happened but this indeed is the most violent incident yet there is tension in the street there's a deep divide in this society has followed leader has said that the grievances expressed by the demonstrators are legitimate but he has accused the protest movement of being backed by foreign governments and these calling this a conspiracy against the group saying that the ultimate aim is to change the balance of power in the country accusations that people in the streets deny they say that they want a better living conditions they have no faith in the ruling elite and who have been in their words involved in corruption for decades and mismanagement

isis, hezbollah represent consistent threats to the united states. we must work to insure aggressively across government and with our international partners we're doing everything we can to pressure and disrupt these organizations in efforts to target the united states homeland. one of the most significant emerging threats has been domestic actors' adoption of terrorist techniques to inspire and direct individuals often via the internet to carry out violence. of specific concern has been an increase in racially and ethnically motivated violence, particularly the threat posted by violent white supremacists. last month, dhs introduced a framework for countering terrorism, which explains how we'll adapt to the tools and expertise we have used to protect the country from foreign organizations to address the challenges of today. the trend of americans driven by personal grievances to commit acts of violence creates a unique challenge. this framework recognizes the changing threat landscape and calls for whole of community efforts to enhance prevention and

they are the ones that are working with hezbollah against the israelis.they're the ones that helped the thzbollah factions down in argentina that blew up the two jewish sites in buenos aires. if there's aes war with iran, it is the rev guards that will support the hezbollah cells in various areas of the world that that then will be more than likely turned loose on american targets worldwide. so the quds force is a genuine threat, but they're still not terribly competent. they keep losing commanders in syria.a. it seems like, you know, they'll have a commander named, they'll go to syria, the next thing they'll be dead. they've gone through, like, five commanders in the last year and a half. i'm not sure who's killing them besides us, but, you know, if i was an officer in the quds force and they asked me, say, would you like to be a commander, i'd have to go clean out my sock drawer. i don't think i'd want to do that. ed. >> [inaudible] so with these five partners, what would be the impact of us withdrawing if they don't? >> we will be isolated from that so
