Feed honestly i have reached a dead end and we have to take a shocking step to face the crisis. And i thought im going to the president ial palace to submit the resignation of the government to president for me shallow showing where the shot and to the lebanese people in all regions in response to the will of many of the lebanese who took to the squares to demand a change. Here straight to the capital where were going to do so thats how id be in beirut to a welcome but whats behind this decision. So theyre going whats behind this decision. Its fact its whats also obvious after 15 days of the devastation that took place all over the major cities in beirut prosecuted that here the government has no other option they tried their best 1st of all they set up back its awfully long the but thats just it i agree with it they said its not. Need a lot of time to be achieved 2nd before they try to open the lock roads main roads in beirut and need by some other cities nearby they would they didnt achieve the i. D. F. They know yes they do people they should look at the protesters. Then we have the 15 days of luck so the only way was to nation this was basically at 8 oclock the Prime Minister in his statement. And so what does his resignation mean for the country. 1st the torso action to we we so in the process squares oldish with us to do they were happy they salute the movement they are its the 1st step then one of the main demands to the government is ignition 2nd you have to. Know you want. To fall you want to take down the old. School the 1st step that is the government achieved people in you formation of a new government based on technocratic with difficulty members so they can achieve the of the month so it sounds like this crisis is far from over because if protesters. About the political elite and they dont get a technocratic government then the same people with different faces it sounds like it will take over. What. First of all maybe the 1st reaction from to protest is that they will move out from the streets down the the main roads but they going to remain in the. Main be in beirut we talking about the markets which. Meaning for the protests to be. The. City council so the protests are going to remain in the squares but what we think whats. Demanded you know all the politicians and some of the Political Parties the professors to go out of the seats since they are one main demands which is taking down the government. The specter of civil war is never far from peoples minds. Is this going to stay at this level do you think on is the country headed for more violent confrontations. Even today and into. Last couple of days. Before this squares got to all Political Parties all Decision Makers and i didnt even say to be the memories of the bad memories stephen was still alive. Conscious and subconscious so no one going to repeat this mistake again according to all these parties and demonstrators so all the. Parties in the been trying their best to avoid this thing that saying that at best they said that theyre going to cheat the old they demand. Their right decision they are very. They do but its like they didnt achieve it since 30 years since the civil war that years ago. All the bodies people asking for the thing demands medical insurance and so on good talking to you thanks for joining us about in beirut thank you. To syria where the ceasefire brokered by turkey and russia has officially ended with russias foreign minister saying that Kurdish Forces have withdrawn from the border area. Planned turkey says they will just have to stop by joint patrols with Russian Troops but the have already been reports of clashes between Syrian Government. Forces and the syrian observatory for human rights says its a scene tendering a machine gun fire south of the border town of russell i need Kurdish Forces agreed to retreat from the area under the deal struck by russia and asked me. To turkey that we join correspondent to you leon in istanbul welcome you really. So what happens now. Well the ceasefire that you have been talking about has been a very shaky one there have been occasional skirmishes they have continued in the past days and both sides have blamed each other for violations now turkey and russia struck that deal to allow Kurdish Militia in ne as syria which ankara consider as terrorists to withdraw some 30 kilometer has from the Turkish Border in a next step than turkish and Russian Forces which start to joint patrols in parts of that area now while the cutlet as d. E. F. Say they happen redeploying their forces away from the border and the Russian Defense Ministry Just announced the withdrawal has been completed earlier today said that not all of the fighting has have withdrawn and we heard president edwin there in the past days he has repeatedly threatened to restart the military operation if the kurdish fighters that do not leave so its not unlikely we will see a renewed fighting even on a larger scale in the next hour as in the next 2 days despite International Calls for a permanent ceasefire so we have 4 policies to this agreement the kurds the syrian army turkey and russia so whats what are the wider implications of where we all know. Well not even just for parties but it does just shows you how complicated the situation there on the ground is and thats also something that has been overlooked quite a lot with all the focus on what turkey is doing all might be doing next now with the Kurdish Forces there withdrawing from the with in syria actually Syrian Regime forces backed by russia all moving in lets remember the Kurdish Forces have officially hasta the assad regime for help trying to fend off the Turkish Military offensive they have kind of invited assad back into north and syria to an area where he didnt have a foothold for many years so on a wider scale or the wider implications are that this is a victory for the assad regime and its most powerful ally russia who are apparently making territorial gains in the area and the big question is of course what will all of this mean for the civilians there in north in syria but also Syrian Refugees here on the turkish side we know the president and wants to establish a socalled safe zone in that area and send refugees back there but many people ive talked to here tell me that this is an absolute nightmare for them knowing that asset is so were very close were were getting reports of clashes near the syrian town of. What do we know who is fighting. Well these are basically reports so far by the london based britain based syrian observatory for human rights theyre saying that Syrian Government troops will find now alongside the cottage for says have been clashing with attack he backed rebels today for the fest time by the way since turkeys military operation started 3 weeks ago the observer terry also says the clashes have been having and 6 Syrian Security pass and though were injured by techies shelling and it all happened south of the Syrian Border town although i know there has not been any confirmation yet by ankara. Almost scows so we need to be careful here there are also quite a number of social media videos circulating there now on twitter as legibly showing how the turkey backed the rebels have captured and are now mistreating these Syrian Security pass and now but this has to be taken with a huge portion of caution here because there is a lot of fake news out there on social media when it comes to this conflict so we have to see a wait for further confirmation thanks for that so youre hung in istanbul star attention are some of the other stories making news around the world a u.

One day in the bronx it sounds can be a long time and parliament on monday Jeremy Corbin showed no interest whatsoever in Holding New Elections but on tuesday the labor chief announced that he does want to back and prechristian this poll were going out there to fight an Election Campaign and i caught white to get out there on the streets in every town and village in this country labor will be there giving a message of real hope where this government offers nothing and were going out there so when ok. A demonstration of unity but not everyone in the Opposition Party is convinced that this is the right strategy some feel that theyre playing into the hands of Boris Johnson labor support makes the new the lections the government had sought in vain until now more likely.
