the most memorable moments with al-jazeera was when i was on air as hosni mubarak fell with the crowds in tahrir square talking. if something happens anywhere in the world al-jazeera is in place we're able to cover this like no other news organization. were able to do it properly. that is our strength. 1982 egypt and israel built on that drove away between the neighboring communities of sinai and comes out. al-jazeera. stories from. the division. sinai and the world. on al-jazeera. hello i'm daryn jordan in doha with a quick reminder the top stories. are protesters in lebanon not planning to head back onto the streets for a 5th day despite reports the main political parties have agreed in principle on a package of economic reforms some day so the biggest drop since demonstrations began 4 days ago of a plans to raise taxes stephanie deca has more from beirut. to be honest all people about this tonight. said it wasn't all that no we don't we don't care about their reforms we have a problem with the people who are running this country want them to change they've lied to us before they're

been to the middle east especially to the gulf and hasn't heard the phrase the united states threw mubarak under the bus, right? that's the universal view and china stood by, and china promises the development which means we'll do growth without social and political change and they love social and political change because political change makes them grumpy. so especially after 2011 and they'll prevent another arab spring and the idea that china is reassuring and we'll do it without creating an arab spring and we're on your side is really attractive to government. the third point is they have a limited number of countries they actually care about and now i would argue there are just five. in many way, the most strategically rich is the relationship with iran and let me give you a few points about the iran relationship for china. first is it's a good hedge against the united states. the u.s. isn't going to be able to get iran to stop exporting oil to china very well. so if you're interested in how you ensure your economy is in oil, iran is a good call. it's great green field investment, righ

was calling a red line in syria, use of chemical weapons then not doing it, very quickly abandoning mubarakvery quickly accepting the muslim brotherhood-led government in a way that was unnerving to them, whether it was not intervening in syria in a way that people had come to expect american leadership to do or not intervening in iraq until until mosul had already fallen from the islamic state. unfortunately, the region was so -- leaders in the region were so excited of the prospect of obama leaving office that they allowed themselves to believe that president trump would represent a return to normalcy in american traditions. if anything, of course, he has proven far more erratic and far more willing to upend those traditional longstanding decades-long views of american policy toward the middle east. not going to go in every single one, but makes clear what very recently in syria, continuing the process, started in the obama administration of allowing russia back in, which, again, was the thing that in the carter doctrine, and in the reagan reflagging was one of the reasons why we were the

calling a red light in syria, use of chemical weapons and then not doing it, whether was abandoning mubarakng him and the moslem brotherhood in the weather was unnerving to them. whether was not intervening in syria in a way that people come to expect american leadership to do or not intervening in iraq until mosul had already fallen from islamic state. unfortunately, the region, leaders in the region were so excited at the prospect of obama leaving office of the allowed themselves to be made that president trump would represent a return to normalcy and american traditions. if anything of course he has proven for more erratic and for more willing to up and these traditional long-standing decades long views of american policy towards the middle east. after going to every single one but it's clear very recently in syria, continuing the process start in the obama administration of a long russia backing which again was in the thing in the carter doctrine and in the reagan reef like it was one of the reasons why we were there, was to keep russia out as assistant secretary schenker just sent. --

been to the middle east, especially to the gulf and hasn't heard the phrase the united states threw mubarakunder the bus right? that's the universal view, and china stood by governments of the region. china promises the chinese model of economic development which is wielded economic growth without social and political change, governments love the idea because political change makes them grumpy. so a special after 2011, bill eastern governments still haven't figured out what caused air spring. they don't know how to prevent another arab spring and the idea china is reassuring and safe we will stand by you and we are on your side, she was attracted to governments. so second point is limited goals. the third point is that a limited number of countries they care about. i would argue that are just right. their favorite and to think in many ways the most strategically rich is the relationship with iran. let me give you a few points about the iran relationship with china. first is it's a good hedge against the united states. the u.s. isn't going to be able to get iran to stop exporting oil from ch
