Controversial path to achieve its aim by passing a resolution in beijing, but not letting the matter to be resolved in hong kong. Because according to the existing laws, there have been the mechanics to unseat a lawmaker in this way that beijing is not taking that. Its more easier for them to do it in beijing. But this will trigger more like legal controversy on local level or International Level talk about what the now strategy and representation going forward. Because there is now only an extra parliamentary opposition. What does it mean for the opposition movements . Voice in the parliament and in the end, does the resignation on mass play into chinas hands. Well, knowledge that this is not actually not the 1st time for beijing and hong kong authorities to try to kick out prodemocracy and opposition lawmakers out of the parliament. But these time with only less than 20 opposition lawmakers remaining in the parliament, the opposition lawmakers. They found that they are just acting in accordance to the reality because they are going to lose the critical and phyto veto power off like they originally they. If they have one 3rd of the seats, then they can stop the governments bills or to stop any kind of impish meant against the prodemocracy lawmakers. But now they can do that with only 19 lawmakers. So and also as a form of protest they found if this is a way to really to the, to stand now and do voice there. C this content to was the, this qualification in hong kong. Thank you.

At least 190 people were killed and around 6000 injured, entire streets were overdue to rubble and thousands left homeless. 3 months on. How are the city and its people recovering . All in a moment we will hear from our d. Arabic ali, jaffar of karim, but 1st, this report on one family still mourning the father that they lost. These 5 siblings lost their father, father to have their its hard to lose this word forever. Which word in the book of the word dad says that then we miss you so much. Our home is so empty, there is no feeling of security anymore or kindness and everything has changed considerably. And then we miss you, we miss you, may god have mercy on your love not to have to his death. May god have mercy on him. It was painful for me. I wished i had died. Instead i lost my support that he was there for me. Whenever i needed advice, he was my protector. And i know we can. Mohammad last county was only 56. He was critically injured in his home near beiruts harbor. May god have mercy on him, the door and the mirror of family on him. He was bleeding. When i held his head, there was a hole this big mohammad was in intensive care for a month before he died of serbs. She did it enormous. It was difficult to lose such an important part of my life. The hunk of now i will only finish my studies for his sake. Its what he wanted. I never imagined id be bringing my degree to his tomb rather than to him at home to his people in michigan every year. Im a bit too hot, but mohamed worked as a driver for a private company. He earned the equivalent of about 200. 00 euros a month just enough to pay the rent. The blast destroyed their flat and the family became homeless and had to find out who was responsible for my fathers death. He was only 56 years old. We want them to be held accountable as an example to others. The family is now living in another flat with 3 months rent covered by an anonymous donor. It is just a short term solution, and now they will have to figure out the next steps. And joining me now here in the studio is just our of bill karim, from arabic, just back from beirut, where you actually recorded to talk shows. We know that you were in the port where this blast happened, as hundreds were killed. What is the situation like right now . What was it like to be there . To be honest, it was very sad, depressing to see beirut the way it is now. Because when you talk to people, they have a lot of questions that are still unanswered. Now even 3 months after the explosion, and you already saw in the report when i talked to the families who, who lost loved ones and, and who today are still in shock. How could this happen . Because sources say, some officials knew that this substance was there. It at the port . No, they didnt talk to some of the families. They didnt even say how far the investigations are. And then you have the economical crisis, you know, the collapse of the, of the currency. And then, you know, you used to buy a kilo of tomato, which cost, lets say 1 dollars, 1 dollar, and today it costs a dollar. So people are being confronted from the political side. Theres a crisis from the economical side. But also what we dont see is the psychological side when talking to people, how lost they are, because whats going on, whats happening . What will change, whats the solution . So how are they coping and the circumstances . I mean, we can say i can literally say they are surviving because we look at the family that we saw in the, in the report. They lost their dad. They have no income now because they are true to know its still studying. They lost their home. So someone donated for them 3 months, renting an apartment, and maybe next, next, next month in december. They dont know if they have a home, if they have a place where can they live with that with their mom. So this is really the case because even other families, i talked to they, they, you know, people lost their home, everything they say they built so far and no one is coming and talking to them and find, and trying to support because of corruption in lebanon to know the money that was given by the government is not reaching the people. There are so many calls including from the International Community for the government to clean up its act. Tell us what is the level of trust among the people in the authorities to actually follow through with reform to tackle corruption. Yes, i mean i allow myself to say that the majority dont have a trust the government. We can see it because they are on the streets and the people i talk to, its my observations. And the 2nd thing is, you know, everyone is asking how could this have happened . And will anyone be accountable for what he or she did and the trust in the system is very low. I even had the governor, governor of beirut, in my talk show, and i asked him, do you trust that investigations will be getting anyone accountable . And he said, i do, i trust judges, but i dont trust in the lebanese judge system, you know, and this is the questions that people still still have been a lot to lebanon. But this time, its really a turning point of the, of the history of lebanon and the amount of corruption political crisis, economical crisis. And also people, really, i dont know if they have hope in any changes there, why it happened. Do you think well ever find out what happened . Do you think well ever get to the bottom of what happened at this point and properly investigate . I mean level according to instance, but its international. You have high corruption. And when you talk to the governor whos the judge, who has been the judge and now hes the governor, and he says, i dont judge, i dont trust in the judge system in lebanon, but i trust maybe in judges. Then it says it all. And when you talk to the people, none of them said we trust that and the people will get accountable. Thats why date theyre asking to have an international investigations. So according to what i have now for facts, talking to people, my own observations, i will say this will be a very long story and as long, no one is getting our counsel people will lose trust. And then you will kind of have over a taishan, you have rotational trust in the government. The government is going to be built no trust. Again, people will go on the street corruption is still there and then its the rotation. There should be a major change of, according to what people want, of 7 leaders who have been being in the political system in lebanon since over 30 years. If there is no big change and they say like we are really stepping back. And now a new generation, a new people, a new system should take over, i think would stay in the whole rotation. And if people want to watch those shows that you recorded with the lebanese people, they can go online to far talk that exactly, or show up till karim. Thank you so much. Thank you so much there. Plan. Heres a quick look at some other stories making headlines. Russia is sending 2000 peacekeepers to the disputed territory of buffer to enforce a cease fire between azerbaijan and armenia.

Hugh, i need to fit into those people who are responsible for the schedules. This is where they have to put their Heads Together and make decisions for the future. This isnt feasible in the short term. Probably not in the medium or long term. Thats the calendar is simply too full and the players have to bear the consequences. A lot of things are played out on the players backs. Health is supposed to be the most important thing. And that is not the case at the moment. And sort of also has to contend with a survey this week saying the interest of germans in their National Team is dwindling.
