N. Chief Antonio Guterres called for a credible investigation into the cause of the blast he spoke at a meeting to discuss the humanitarian crisis in beirut on sunday worldbeat is an International Organizations pledged nearly 300000000. 00 in aid it is important that the people in. The cause of the explosion and drink of the believe by the lebanese people. It is also important that the forms be. The best the needs of the lebanese people for the longer term. But its worth it is live for us in beirut hes been covering this bernard side the government has resigned but is staying on in a caretaker capacity how hard will it be to form a new god the what happens now. Well sunday i made reference there in his speech to the corruption of the political elite that has run this country to the last 30 for the last 304050 years an elite that controls the country through its proxies in parliament so an indication you get the extraordinary difficulty of affecting significant and consequential change here in lebanon we understand there are discussions going on about the formation of a new cabinet will stay on as caretaker and the rest of it though is remaining cabinet will be caretaker cabinet ministers but there are discussions taking place as to how a new cabinet might be for 2 names have surfaced as possible. Prime ministers the 1st one saad hariri that really is a question of out with a new and in with the old because he was only power in the end of january forced to resign after a banking crisis in the collapse of the Banking System of the countrys economy forced him to resign and his cabinet it was talk over from now another name thats appeared is now off he is more he preferred perhaps you can say by those wanting change here in lebanon he is a former diplomat and currently a judge on the International Court of justice or what the International Community wants and they have a lot of pressure that they can they have been putting on lebanon because they hold the Purse Strings that lebanon needs opening the International Community led by Emmanuel Macron the president. France says it wants some sort of cabin its a government of National Unity the problem is at the moment the opposition have previously refused to work with the Current Administration the Current Administration is dominated by hezbollah and its allies unless a way can be found of persuading the opposition to join in some sort of government of National Unity you might just get the same same Administration Just with just faces and then a day we had to abort our last live cross to you there was a bit of tear gas being being thrown around. Is that the kind of happening across the city or is that just localized whats the situation on the streets. There was we were Near Parliament and there has been the have been confrontations that the last few nights it is calm now the Security Forces a push those protesters back its a been a receive a scene repeat of the last 23 united its localized really just to this part of lebanon where the administrative heart of the country is but it is it simpler mattick of the really enormous frustration and anger felt by many lebanese people here who see themselves held hostage many people will say by a political system that they have no escape from there were hopes that there would be the Prime Minister would be able to persuade parliament to have an election it doesnt look like were going to get that were going to get a new cabinet instead so enormous frustration on the streets most people of course still the pro there have been protests but most people still trying to. Put their lives back together after after tuesdays explosion 300000 people left homeless if you still got a standing home you probably had your glass blown out so theyre trying to rebuild their homes are trying to feed themselves and people need to work a consequence of this administration on the explosion on the economy is estimated to be a 25 percent drop in g. D. P. Here in lebanon really catastrophic thank you for that day there bird smith a constable at mits in beirut. Christian salumi of the United Nations in new york says the International Community is concerned about lebanons ability to pull through this. This was a chance for the humanitarian affairs chief to brief members states on the situation on the ground in lebanon and the International Response so far secretary general antonio terrace called it a huge catastrophe coming on the heels of the socioeconomic problems the coven pandemic and now this explosion and while he was calling on Member States to continue their support for lebanon he also sounded the theme of the need for a credible investigation and the need for government reforms that kind of underlie was underlying everything that he and really most of the speakers were saying so far the International Community has pledged 300000000. 00 to support lebannon but humanitarian chief mark lowcock says that billions will be needed to fully bring lebanon back from the brink and theres concern that money given by the International Community would not go directly to the people but would end up propping up this government which has had so many problems in the words of secretary general good terrace he said the anger on the streets is palpable and it has to be heard so that was really the message coming out of the briefing today it was echoed by other u. N. Officials David Beasley of the World Food Program he also said that without International Support lebanons food situation he would run out of food in 2 and a half weeks so the u. N. Is dealing with those immediate needs food and medical in particular 3 hospitals were destroyed in that blaze so that is a big issue right now for lebanon as well but long term we heard time and again about this need for reform coming not only from u. N. Officials but Member States who spoke as well like jordan in egypt and other neighbors in the region who are very concerned about lebanons ability to come back from this or i may corey is a journalism professor at American University of beirut 10 senior. Hello at the Harvard Kennedy school he joins us now by skype from boston thank you for your time what do you make of this resignation and the government staying on in the caretaker role is this a step in the direction of substantive change or are we just going to see more of this thing. It would not normally be more of the same because this is going on for years but this is a different moment this is really a historic turning point i believe in the modern political governance of lebanon and its just the beginning its going to take months or perhaps more than a year or 2 to play itself out what happened was they tried the ruling power elite the oligarchic secretary and group of men who have ruled the country with an iron fist and driven it into the ground for many years tried to put in the house and the. Government as a way to throw some. Symbolic gestures to the protesters who have been on the streets since last october and it are a totally failed the government has not only itself discredited itself it has discredited the whole system it has brought down the credibility of the presidency the Parliament Even hezbollah and other groups that people had not criticize too much in the past so theres a new. d moment of political contest station in lebanon and the moment started literally last october but it reached a new peak last tuesday with this with this explosion in the port and people would tell you it doesnt matter if theres a government or no government has there really hasnt been a government for many years in lebanon look at how the country has essentially collapsed economically and politically and socially and environmentally and out of this a bomb that the government knew about for the last. Explosive material that the government knew about for the last 6 years and did nothing about it so the question is will there be a serious negotiation now between the established political elite which is almost totally discredited except for hezbollah which is the Strongest Party in that group and its the one that has propped up all the other ones that it isnt downs and the. Blocks in. The other leaders there were in government because the hezbollah power essentially gave their consent and supported them in parliament will there be negotiations now with the protesters will they create a mechanism to clarify their demands or demands are very clear they want a transitional emergency government to handle Economic Stabilization address the needs of poor people come up with a new electoral law thats nonsectarian elect a new parliament elect a new president address the corruption issue and hold accountable all those people who have stolen they claim the 10s of billions of dollars over the last 1020 years those demands are very clear all across the board from the processors what they havent done is create a mechanism to force the government to meet them either halfway or more than half way in sudan the protesters did that another in a transitional process the protestors in sudan with the military and addressing these issues together which is kind of fascinating will lebanon go through something similar well have to wait and see but this is a different moment than the traditional one government goes in another government comes and thats not going to happen i dont think ok you sort of ask the question now there and having you can answer it do you think that the political elite will be able to or politicians will be able to appoint a new government who will engage with protesters who will hold elections who will put in place a transitional emergency government do you think that will happen. Thats going to depend on the negotiations the Power Dynamics between the protesters they masses of lebanese who support the protesters and we know this from credible polling in lebanon that says Something Like 70 percent of the population supports the uprising that started last october they want all of these political officials who run the country for the last 20 years they want them all out the whole system has failed and the explosion on tuesday was the culminating dramatic affirmation of that and even when the explosion happened the government was nowhere to be seen hardly anybody said anything they didnt do any cleanup it was unbelievable and theyre waiting for other people to come and give the money so i think there will be a new pattern of Political Engagement between essentially there are centrally i believe to now main forces in lebanon one is hezbollah and its very close allies what has violet is the key one and the other one is the protest movement or the revolution as they call themselves. And these are all kinds of people but they do represent the majority of the population they will have to agree on whether the Transitional Government that comes in is a serious reformist government clean people efficient people that can get the support of the International Community to do a quick deal with the i. M. F. Its amazing that her son jobs government has had 4 and a half months and has done 00 with the i. M. F. Is even more worse than 0 scale united the i. M. F. So that the i. M. F. And public ridicule is lebanon essentially saying look if you guys want to make money want us to help you better get serious and and give us some real credible financial figures so a Transitional Government has to do 3 or 4 critically important and urgent things at once my suspicion is that there is going to be a hybrid government. It is going to be formed that has enough emergency powers. Defined now really to address a few Critical Issues like everything in the country so for instance along deal with National Defense and stuff like that so i think there will be a hybrid form of transitional governance in lebanon coming up and it has to be done quickly they cant wait 678 months as they used to do in the past the can play the games that the Political Party leaders used to play all the time the 70 percent of the lebanese or so or poverty stricken very few people have jobs anymore the economy has completely ground to a halt the people cant get their money in the bank theres no electricity i mean this is and now and its a founders of our own homes thank you so much for having me that every times thank you so much your time ironically there its endless professor at American University of beirut thank you.

Egypt and greece on the one hand and turkey and libya on the other dispute each others agreements but the greeks spoke into out their agreement has been drafted in accordance with International Law the United Nations law of the sea which turkey is not a signatory to and has serious disagreements with so the moment we have a situation for the 2nd time in 3 weeks where the greek navy is monitoring the on a trace and the turkish rickets accompanying it from various distances.

Your charges there are a reminder of our top stories this hour lebanons president has accepted the resignation of his Prime Ministers government met president michel around after announcing his cabinets decision the president has asked the amp stay on in a caretaker capacity until a new cabinet is formed. Lebanese Security Forces are firing tear gas to disperse crowds of beirut gathering in reaction to the governments resignation been calling for conflict overhaul of the political system. Protesters are back on the streets and bellicose thousands of people were arrested not before protests against president alexander look shakos election victory the opposition disputes the results germany france the u. K. Are expressing their concern its. Gyptian to heading to the polls on tuesday to vote for a new the revived senate the 300 member parliamentary body is returning after being scrapped in 2014 but as a man can reports critics fear the process will be anything but democratic. 60000000 egyptians are eligible to vote and have a say in who represents them in the newly reconstituted senate votes will be counted from both citizens home and abroad the 1st Upper Chamber to 6 years follows the introduction of the new constitution. The old constitution was suspended in 2014 when president Mohammed Morsi was deposed and replaced by military chief sisi who took the 2 spot the new senate has 300 men 100 directly appointed by sisi critics say its another power grab the government says a senate seat gives minorities a voice. The last election in egypt was 2 years ago when president sisi won reelection with 97 percent of the vote the exact same margin is secured in 2000 he faced only one of the challenges in 2000 814. 00 International Human rights organizations criticize the election Human Rights Watch said it was neither free nor fair. Egypts Election Commission declared ccs victory met the highest International Standards of integrity and transparency various human Rights Groups also criticized last years constitutional changes that concentrating power into. Egypts government says the center election proves to the world and egyptians that the country is a fully functioning democracy. As. Well timothy call us is a nonresident fellow of the terrier institute for middle east policy he joins us by scott from boston thanks for the time what will the senate mean for egypt in reality is this says critics say a power grab. I think its less of a power grab and more of an expansion of Patronage Networks through award loyalists to the regime. I dont think that the senate as an institution is going to be of great consequence. Previously the upper house was also a great consequence. I think that its really much more about. Another set of rewards d or perks that can be assigned to people who have been supportive of the regime either financially or in their service perhaps in the cabinet. Things like that but i mean the reality is the regime already controls the legislative branch quite thoroughly and so and the new body is actually even more under the president s control than the legislature in terms of formal power because he appoints a 3rd of its members but regardless of how many people he appoints his control over that both brett and both the chamber its its pretty indisputable is this then i mean you mentioned there its about patronage that what it said rewarding those loyalists is it also an attempt to sort of give the the no call the legitimacy the look of all of being a fully functioning democracy. I honestly think that the Egyptian Government has moved beyond trying to do that in the way that theyve conducted the past several boats has been transparently undemocratic they continue to arrest opposition figures they continue were us journalists they publicly have been forcing people to vote in previous votes such as the constitutional referendum referendum amend the constitution. So i mean the reality is that on the anyone takes the vote seriously inside or outside egypt i would also add that in some ways these transparently undemocratic elections are also a way for the regime to transfer to communicate to the public that they can do whatever they like and that they have this power and that the International Community is frankly im concerned or unwilling to use the Political Capital necessary to apply any sort of meaningful pressure so its really more of a show of force as opposed to any sort of serious attempt to promote this idea that egypt is functioning in a democratic fashion thank you for analysis timothy called us there a resident fellow at the institute for middle east policy. Well you just government has extended the detention of aljazeera journalist model hussein by 45. 00 days hes already been held for more than 3 and a half years without trial arriving for a personal visit the United Nations and al jazeera have called for an end to his detention his attention on unspecified charges breaches egypts penal code which sets the maximum pretrial detention at 620. 00 days a bomb blast and the pakistans but not just on province has killed 6 people and injured at least 50 now this explosion targeted a vehicle from anti drugs forces in the city of chum up near the border with afghanistan as being no claim of responsibility.

Co attacks people with machetes more than 200000 people have fled attacks in the province since march prosecutors in france are launching an investigation into what by calling the terrorist murder of 7 french aid workers in the share they in their local guides were attacks during a tour of the west african draft reserve near the town of koori on sunday this years defense minister says gunmen on motorcycles opened fire its not load who was behind the attack on that interests is following the story for us from a neighboring nigeria. To liberia region in particular is known over the years as a hot spot of attacks by extremists and armed groups either within across the border in brooklyn or faso or mali. Dozens of people have been killed this year including Security Forces leave your Security Forces were being targeted by these fighters like we said no claim of responsibility yet but the Biggest Surprise is that after the last attack that killed dozens of Security Forces into libya region the government has sent in reinforcement to that region to deal with the rising cases of attacks by the groups and fighters in that region of the surprises that the. Animal reserve is just 65 kilometers away from the capital niamey and a lot of military roadblocks and police roadblocks out on that highway a lot of people who are concerned that if this attack can come close to the capital of the army or the time when it is preparing for the president ial elections in 2021 then a lot of things could likely maybe likely happen during the Election Year in campaigning in across me share on the border with nigeria the border with turkey a fossil on the border with money and u.

The Saudi Crown Prince is again implicated in allegations of a hit squad sent to murder a dissident former saudi intelligence agents are the jobbery is accusing mohamed bin salon of trying to have him killed in canada 2 years ago government and private security has been stepped up in toronto real job resorted to be in hiding he was advisor to the previous crown prince and the saudi government has attempted to have him extradited several times a job reason launched a lawsuit in the u. S. Which says an elite team called the tiger scored tried to enter canada in october 28th in canada reportedly denied entry to bin salmonds person mercenaries. A u. S. Court has issued a summons to the sound the oil to acknowledge the Legal Proceedings against him the summons delivers the complaint to the various defendants that obligates them under our federal rules to answer within 20 days so it means that now the case is gearing up 20 days is not a long time. But i think having myself litigated many cases under the torture victims protection act that it signals that m. B. A. s will now the gristly lobby President Trump and secretary of state like pump a 0 issue whats called a letter of suggestion of immunity the alleged tiger squad attempt is reminiscent of what happened to some of the journalist tim i have also in 2018 International Investigators including the cia concluded been solomon was involved in the murder of the Washington Post columnist in istanbul gobby says the murder attempt on him was within 2 weeks of which obvious killing and he has implicated the same saudis named in the operation so i wouldnt have thought he was but if very famous person will be close to him because of genoa those model of scottish cycle who is used to be they dont know if his personal courts and the few others who will probably have the same names and because of. Unto all of the persons on our residents will be United States and that will be. Dangerous for him the u. S. President has stood by his middle eastern ally despite the cias conclusions before senators have written to the state department about the persecution of a job recently members in saudi arabia. The department responded by calling the job a valued partner to the u. S. Government and requests have been made to the saudi government about the whereabouts of all jobbies son and daughter the saudi government hasnt issued a response this isnt c. It is becoming difficult for trump to continue defending the next in line saudi king you can see that come away said. Bad behavior that effect now lets take it from the american side like you can see this just and more than that political more than america against the soul of the routine so that congress is more. Active when it comes to issues with insights on the right of job he says interpol rejected saudi elegans of corruption as being politically motivated prosecutors suspect the saudis will ignore the summons but Court Cases Involving yet more murder allegations dont bode well for the successor to the saudi throne some of the government there the official number of corona virus infections in the u. S. Has now passed 5000000 but theres concern that the true figure could be much Higher Health officials are urging the use of face masks and social distancing this was the scene in south dakota over the weekend around 400000 people gathered for a 10 day motorcycle rally in the city of sturgis. Where the u. S. City of chicago is ordering people coming from chronic virus hotspots to quarantine for 14 days unlike many parts of the country it has succeeded in flattening the curve and getting out by come to control 100 has more. Im standing in illinois and those boats behind me are in wisconsin normally thats a frontier people dont pay a lot of attention to unless youre talking about football rivalries but wisconsin has a relatively high rate of coronavirus cases in illinois has a relatively low rate so now wisconsin is one of the more than 20 states from which one must quarantine if you go to chicago so if you cross that border and you come back down the coast about an hour to chicago you have to spend 14 days in quarantine and for many people on both sides of this front here thats a nuisance its a good idea if it can help. Bring the number of cases down.
