That protesters can take away from. Well. Whats happening as it goes along the lines of the tactics that have been used by the government to diffuse the protests there is stuff theyre trying to buy time theyre trying to distract with Different Things theyre trying to fragment the groups and are trying to you know in negotiate with some of them to treat friction between the different groups on the street from what i got from this speech by president on is that they world tried to break up the protest by any means possible and they do not seem to be open to change they were only the army but they to break up the protests and the army isnt in a difficult position here because. Many many who are in the armed forces see themselves as part of the people yet they have to take authors. Yes i mean weve been seeing a campaign a p. R. Campaign by the army over the last week also to boost its image but. When it comes down to it it doesnt take the army to really we havent seen any use of any tactics to a violent act as we havent seen any Water Cannons we havent seen any theory gas which we saw in the 1st couple of days when the protests were angry so they kind of diffuse the situation in the 1st couple of days and then allowed the protesters to have a more festive carnival like a protest movement and that does not really bother the government they do not really need to send out the army to break that up because that. Does not affect them what does bother them are the close roads and. Stopping of businesses and that can be broken up without any real major force and without the environment involvement of the army really unless the protesters really shore up their lines and and are really that organized that they can stop in the front of the state and the citizen you know its been 8 days now 8 days of banks schools universities closed major roads around the country closed i mean how do you see this playing out over the next few days if again none of the political leaders have said anything that appears to protest a cypher. Yes i mean this is the only thing going for the protesters and for increasing or raising the bar of. Demands paralyzing the businesses paralyzing their state is the only way the states will listen so they are they have i mean a week is not going to be enough but if they have the stamina to keep their going for much longer then we might see things change or also or another option would be for the protester so escalate and put more pressure on the state to assure them that this is not enough. We have not seen that over the last few days weve actually seen that the protesters have deescalated their. Anger has been diffused kind of on the streets so we need if that escalates and goes back to the 1st the scenes we saw the 1st couple of days then things might change. Thank you very much for your analysis on this that is jim. Thank you. I am.

I really felt liberated as a journalist was. Getting to the truth as i would thats what this job. Lebanon as president promises a crackdown on corruption but says the government cannot be toppled from the streets. Alone daryn jordan this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up police in britain identify the bodies of 39 people found dead in a truck near london. Donald trump lift sanctions on turkey and praises the success of a serious cease fire but rivals tell a different story. And libyas president at a morality says he is on course for an outright win as a disputed vote count nears its. Lebanese president michel aoun has addressed the nation in a televised speech he says its vital to review the current government he also promised he would fight state corruption as demanded by hundreds of thousands of people protest as have been demonstrating and demanding political change for 8 days with very. Good one what are being i call on you to observe to act as monitors and all these. Reforms are implemented without crippling the movement and i will act as a guarantor and i will expose and reveal whatever is taking place and i will do all that i can to have these reforms implemented i have listened to calls to topple the regime put the regime cannot be toppled from the streets i know the regime has been crippled for years well its because they know how to who is in the lebanese capital beirut zain i said this is the 1st time the president i will not address the nation since the crisis began he focused on corruption and embezzlement well the speech be welcomed by protesters older did not go far enough do you think. Well the reaction were getting it did not go far enough the president offering his solution to this crisis he is promising to fight corruption and he has opened the door to dialogue inviting representatives of the protest movement to go to the president ial palace to lay down their demands and he is promising to work with them the reaction so far has been why should we trust you youve been in power for years you have made promises like this before and in fact what we have been hearing from politicians over the past week in many ways each and each one of them blaming the other just last week when the protest Movement Began and they were demanding the resignation of the cabinet the Prime Minister said well i wanted to enact Economic Reforms but i couldnt because of my partners in government they were obstructing my work now were hearing from the president who is saying well i couldnt implemented my my my goal is to create a civic state in lebanon to end sectarianism and levanon because of the obstacles i face with my partners partners and government so politicians are blaming each other but this is this is the way out of the crisis at least in the eyes of the government hold a dialogue very strong words the regime cannot be toppled from the street there is will only be toppled through constitutional tools what president down basically is telling these people is that you can stay as long as you want were not leaving and the next change will happen at the ballot box so for protestors this is not enough what they want is a new government ministers who are going to be technocrats people who are not affiliated with any Political Party and people who will serve the interests of lebanon so i wouldnt saying that look as you said you know the regime cannot be toppled from the street so what does this mean then for the protest movement Going Forward what can they realistically achieve. Well they have disrupted public life for over a week now as you can see behind me theyre closing roads in the capital of across the country piling pressure on the government schools cant open universities cant open banks cant open so this is their way they believe the pressure on the government now whether theyll take ethical or tory measures its too early to say what the government was hoping is that these people will be confined to squares and they can protest for the next few months or years but but the government needs needs the army and the armys role is going to be key because it has all workers to open roads it has orders to ensure that they need life returned returns to normal but so far the army is staying on the sidelines but i have to tell you there is a dangerous because there are anti progovernment protesters on the street but more and more were seeing protests are supporting the Political Parties in power loyalist they too are taking to the streets in some areas still very spontaneous so the threat of confrontation is real in this deeply deeply divided society all right as in the lebanese capital beirut say no thank you lets bring in jamal horse and hes a journalist and for me it is a english he joins us live now from beirut so what do you make of the speech by president i would nominate you know he talked about the scourge of corruption but do you think itll be enough to calm the young go in the streets. I mean unless action is seen i dont think anything is going to calm the people on the streets of course there is the other option of just squashing the uprising which is an option but like i was mentioning right now that would require the cooperation of the army which doesnt seem to be available right now show there are i mean it did not inspire confidence i think thats how you summarize it it was clearly a prerecorded message you saw a lot of junk cards there is some books in the background seem to have moved during the speech so this is not exactly a speech that aspires confidence and thats what the people were looking for in the president all right so how realistic then jamal are the demands of the protesters and they want to see the government toppled and the installation of a new political system but we heard michel aoun himself say look the regime cant be toppled from the street so what happens next. Exactly theres a real crisis right now and theyre mean responsible action is needed and thats why i mean if the streets were to see. Responsible steps being taken either by the president or the ruling class i think that in light. Is there there are protests but so far we havent seen any serious action they have been dismissive of the streets weve seen that theyre just buying time paper that the Economic Reforms that are proposed are really unachievable and theyre even if they were achievable they do not address the real issue all they do is probably long or push back the crisis a few months so we havent seen any action from the government that really inspires confidence and that theyre taking a crisis that were facing seriously and the same time i think they feel confident that the protesters dont have the answers either saw i dont know where were going this is a very dangerous time but there are serious government does not seem to be the party or does not have the answers right now jamal its just not just a final thought from you i mean what about the use of the military on the streets i mean theyve been used to clear roadblocks but is there a wider concern about the deployment of the army on the streets and the implications that that can have in a place like lebanon. Well right now theyve had the deployment of the army has been kind of limited they have. The deployment of the army cannot squash uprising violently because that will create backfire and that might. Drive things out of control and really cannot stand in the middle if Loyalist Party is decide to launch contour a counter protest and clash with the protesters that now but i dont see that happening i dont think theres any intention by the lawyers for it is to do there that would really open the door towards a much much more dangerous situation but the army cannot even cannot stand in the middle either theyre not equipped nor built in a way that they can perform their roles so right now its really we need to see wait and see whats happening whats going to happen but the army is not this superpower that can really just hold the street or control it for any prolonged period of time jamal haass and good to get your thoughts thank you very much indeed for talking to al jazeera now the u.
