The response was confusion there was this how you go on like have no one we spoke to had heard anything about them without him being the one man who did want to talk said this broad throughout history i havent paid too much attention this vote in hong kong yet but i think stopping the violence and chaos is the priority now we are too soft on the honker facts tolerance has to have a limit. The chinese Central Government should strike them hard. But do you know the result of the vote no i dont know the result yet ive been busy all day with work and. Official Media Coverage before hong kongs vote and of the turnout but not the results suggest speccing thought those results would be different it seems unlikely though that the actual results will change beijings attitude towards hong kong i dont think there will be any change in the positions on the chinese Central Government why because this is a matter of upmost importance to the child in me it really impacts on the one country 2 system it impacts on chinas sovereignty over the whole car already the government has expressed renewed confidence in chief executive kerry lam and it shows no sign of making concessions on any of the protesters demands Andrew Thomas aljazeera.

In the latest piece of political turmoil to hit washington President Donald Trump is drawing widespread criticism for forcing the resignation of his Navy Secretary Richard Spencer was forced out on satis sunday night his Resignation Letter highlighted differences with the president over how the military Justice System should function go live now to our White House Correspondent kimberly how good in washington d. C. Kimberly this comes down to the fact that the defense secretary says he lost confidence and trust in spencer how did that happen. It has so many layers but essentially this is another debate in washington over whether or not there is a limit to president ial power as weve seen in the impeachment inquiry as weve seen throughout Donald Trumps presidency various layers of bureaucracy in this case now it is the military potentially pushing back on efforts by the president to intervene in this case it involves a navy seal who was accused of misconduct and when the Navy Secretary pushed back on the president s efforts to restore his job to restore his ability to identify as a navy seal with his trident pen as its known that is when it cost Richard Spencer the Navy Secretary his job now in the midst of all of this we have had in the last hour confirmation from the defense secretary that in fact there was a demand by the u. S. President as we saw on twitter for the accused Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher who is accused of war crimes and 2017 exonerated on those charges but convicted of posing with the corpse of an iso fighter and thats why he was facing reprimand internally the president demanded that his try to pin according to the defense secretary be restored so it as we pull back from the specifics of this case there is now a wider debate in washington at what point does the military have a duty to push back against the commander in chief that is President Trump if they feel that there is an order that is illegal or even just an ethical or immoral its a very fine line and while most are saying this was a legal demand by the president many are questioning its morality and that is where this debate is coming in and it does extend into the far reaches of the government because this is yet the latest example that weve seen a level of bureaucracy pushing back on the president many accusing him of abusing his president ial powers so a lot more to be known about this kimberly thank you so much come as a media show you tell me im being home and ill tell him he has been meeting turkish president richard type who want a love song and 8 agreements including financial and civil planning some of the divided has to something. Its the 5th session of turkey but there are Strategic Dialogue between the president of turkey and the emir of qatar issues pertaining to bilateral ties as well as International Issues were discussed in this meeting weve been told matters pertaining to finance or been a zation standardise asian as well as bilateral trade came in the discussion the Turkish Foreign minister says that although both of these countries have a deep understanding of each others issues and support each other on their standings there is room for improvement resign aid agreements or more you to strengthen the legal basis of Foreign Relations and we have been we have been discussing also the regional issues turkey and qatar has the same position and we have excellent cooperation on the regional issues so. This region and even beyond after meeting the emir of qatar or the turkish president or visiting the bases the military bases that turkey has established under a 2015 agreement this is one of those areas where turkey and qatar have become closer after the blockade imposed by its neighboring countries. Because of very profound roots in this region it means we have always given great importance to the top security turkish troops presence here is not only for our brothers in qatar but for peace and stability of the entire gulf region. And theres been widespread concerns over lebanons economy a shortage in u. S. Dollars its caused several businesses to cause and many of lost their jobs the crisis is triggered growing fears about the countrys Economic Future so in a horror as war. There is a shortage of u. S.

Not willing to pay it because this really means up my grant will increase approximately 3035 percent. The official rate of 1500. 00 liras to the dollar has it changed but banks are limiting access and that has created a black market where the local currency lost up to 25 percent of its value its driving up the cost of goods in a country where almost everything is imported. Now and. This is an increase in prices with you deal with dollars or not it makes no difference prices of goods are going up were buying in layers and its lost value. Businesses have been closing and staff are being laid off the local currency which had been stable for decades began devaluing before the nationwide protests against the ruling elite began in september 11th aunts leaders to learn what they called them and on the state of emergency it was their plans to raise taxes to Fund Government expenditures that sparked the demonstrations a month later. The countrys also in political turmoil facing what many describe as its worst crisis since the end of the civil war in 1990 those in the governing alliance are blaming the protesters who are calling for a nonpartisan government and early elections for contribution to the economic collapse its an accusation they deny. Us blocking the road at this point in time is not going to leak harvick within the region or cause any traffic more than there are the is but rather stand as a symbol of what we need to the fact that we will not be stopped by fear and that regardless of what happens we will continue to move forward because we are very persistent words like.
