Builds. When it has to be said that the great majority of these protests have been peaceful this is the intention of of most of the people who have been attending the marches and theyve been focalizing how they are against any of the violence that has been seen on the streets in these past few nights but it is problematic in the sense that the governments there have been calls from the very top of the government to civil disobedience now that echoes one of the independent dismayed which thinks that. Just protesting on the streets enough that more direct action needs to take place the problem is how does civil disobedience and more direct action getting targeted by members of society who are deeply frustrated with the ongoing situation and how do they take that amongst their own into. The right hand says well now the problem is that while the president told catalonia has been calling for civil disobedience hes also been sending out to the very same Police Forces that have been trying to control the rising as well so really it has been the source of contradictory message that has been dying out but to have the entire protest movement defined by the violence thats been seen that night would be perhaps i would say unfair for it to be tainted that way however it is a problem that has always you have it hasnt really seen pilots at this level really since the illegal referendum and that is a serious issue that they would have to contend with and see how they deal with in the weeks to come.

By the emirates leaving schools and universities closed on friday the government could now be facing another kind of an agency altogether alexia brian al jazeera. To more go and it is a journalist and former editor of english she joins me from beirut its nice to have you on the program tomorrow i want to get a sense from you just watching those images in clearly hearing the frustration that people are feeling with these austerity measures and that the downturn in the economy to get a sense from you how people have been feeling this and experiencing this downturn in their daily lives. Well weve been seeing at the theory ration of Government Services for the past 30 years and people have been seeing gradual erosion of the state over these years gradually and and over this time they kept taxation kept increasing and the cost of paying for any Services Also increased over this period of time so this has been ongoing we wouldnt get here today because small tax here is more tech so this is a path that weve been on for 30 years and this is and this was the final straw would you say 30 years but sometimes it takes something to trigger this and to get people out and clearly theres been a lot of discussion about the fee thats being imposed for using whatsapp for instance even though thats now theyve now backtracked on that but does it take Something Like that a symbolic thing i suppose that really starts to hit a lot of people that that creates a unity around these protests that gets both middle class and lower class and others out together on the streets. Well the timing of these measures and these new taxation methods that have been implemented couldnt have been at a worse time for the government and they were it was very audacious of them to bring this up the day after massive forest fires were destroying big swaths of land in the country and the whole people were feeling that the government was negligent and led to this and then the next day they come and lay these taxes on them so it was. Just this accumulation of things and and also we have to look back at the Prime Minister a couple of weeks ago having a big controversy with spending 16000000 dollars on this serious. Model while he fired all his staff at his television station and hes not paying their salaries so it is a series of events that culminated with the new taxes that came into place jamal how is this going to play out politically just holding that coalition together as were starting to see all this pressure building were going to see more fracturing within the government how can the government hold its line against these protests. Well if this government has any chance of holding its ground and i dont think its possible is if they completely reverse. Their their philosophy of how to deal with the crisis lebanon is facing a serious economic crisis and its because of. Policy economic policies that have been in place that have favored the Banking System over the development of any other sectors in the country over the past 30 years you cannot continue down that you cannot keep taxing people without giving them something in return and this is what they were doing this is just so unless they completely reverse their economic philosophy which i dont see it happening this government has no chance of surviving its about thank you so much for giving us your time and your analysis to judge mark on the journalist drop joining us live from beirut where britains Prime Minister is facing a break that showdown in parliament on saturday after clinching a last minute agreement with the European Union but there are doubts now about where the Boris Johnson will get enough votes from him please then he said its worse than the deal theyve already rejected 3 times the latest agreement avoids the need for a hot border in our london allows all of the u. K. To leave the Customs UnionBritish Foreign minister dominic rob says hes confident that the brits a deal will be approved in parliament. With a message that the u. P. A. Is grandstanding concerns but we argue that dealt with the u. K. Know the law and stays within the u. K. Customs territory they also get seamless frictionless access to the Single Market in the e. U. Its a great deal from the irish business theres no any interest no infrastructure at the border and there is a command consent mechanism which allows by majority in the Northern Ireland assembly for the people right across one of the communities to consent to staying in and a limited number of rules and regulations and that grow food industrialized products that are required for that scene this access to the market. Lets go live now to rich allens in london and rory while dominic robb may be confident while bars johnson is presenting this is a take it or leave it option effectively how do the numbers sit right now given the opposition that weve seen thus far to this deal. While assuming that we have a full house in parliament on saturday it is going to be a very tough task for Boris Johnson to achieve to get this over the line to get bracks it done as he says incessantly he has to get 320. 00 m. P. s votes for this deal so you push it over the line now the do you pay the northern r. s policy has ruled themselves out say saying they cant vote for this so. Boris johnson asked now to rely on the votes of the sparts in socal sponsons these hardline brechts to conservatives who voted against its a reason mays deal repeatedly he has to rely on the support so of the independent m. P. s and those m. P. s who he has thrown out of the Parliamentary Conservative Party for defying downing streets in recent weeks and months and crucially he has to reply rely on the support of at least some rebel labor m. P. s who would be defying their own party if they came on side with the governments and went for this deal the numbers look like he is still probably between 5 and 16 votes short of getting that number and of course if he doesnt get the numbers in a situation then where you are asking for another extension we know that the leadership of already said that thats not necessarily going to happen is there a prospect did then of a 2nd referendum on this deal and then potentially ultimately an election after that whats the what does the ground look like if this fails on saturday. Well this is the big question basically. Yes said that he didnt think there should be an extension to the breaks it deadline of the 31st of october whether or not Boris Johnson was forced by parliament to asta won but thats not his gift to give and certainly comments that are being reported by british media coming from Angela Merkel suggest that she thinks that yes if Boris Johnson applies for an extension then e. U. Leaders would give him one what happens next in terms of referendums again or elections is basically for the opposition parties to try to work out what their priority is at the moment it seems their priority is getting this bill defeated getting this deal defeated in parliament then theyre going to work out what happens with regard to going back to the people and having another referendum or going back to the people for an election but Boris Johnson presumably can think that this is a win win for him if he gets this deal through then great if he doesnt get his deal through then we were in an election territory pretty quickly and he i think is quite confident that any election where he is campaigning on a bricks it take it is one that he will win roy thank you roy hallums live for us there from london now to the United States with white house acknowledge the President Trump held up military id you crying partly to push kiev to hold investigations into connections with the 2016 president ial campaign but acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney soon backtracked on his statement and Donald Trumps lawyer distanced the president from the remarks democrats say this is further evidence of wrongdoing also in the case for impeachment auditor castro has more from washington d. C. The white house has a message for anyone who criticizes using american aid as leverage over a foreign nation get over it theres going to be a political influence in Foreign Policy the white house chief of staff offered no apologies for the july phone call between President Trump and the leader of ukraine in which trump pressed for ukrainian investigation into claims that a hacked computer server that played a role in russias 2016 election meddling campaign had been moved to ukraine trump was withholding u. S. Military assistance to ukraine when he made the request that he also mentioned to me in the past that the corruption related to the d. N. C. Server absolutely no question about that but thats it thats why we held up the money now there was a report of the man for an investigation into the democrats was part of the reason that he was on the to withhold funding to for a look back to what happened in 2016 certainly was was part of the thing that he was worried about in corruption with that nation and that is absolutely appropriate for the Justice Department has been examining the origins of the russian vest a geisha which the president calls a hoax but in the july phone call with ukraine trump also asked for an investigation into his political rival joe biden the white house claims that part of the call had nothing to do with withholding aid he while gordon sunlit the u. S. Ambassador to the e. U. Gave closed door testimony before congress on thursday sunland was central in trumps efforts to pressure ukraine to open the investigations but said he was unaware the president was after dirt on biden in his prepared remarks sunland testifies inviting a Foreign Government to undertake investigations for the purpose of influencing an upcoming us election would be wrong with Holding Foreign aid in order to pressure a Foreign Government to take such steps would be wrong i did not and would not ever participate. Late in such undertakings still more witnesses are scheduled to speak with congressional investigators in the coming days as democrats charge forward with their quest to kill back this onion of the trump administrations dealings with ukraine the house will likely vote on impeachment before the end of november with the senate preparing to put the president on trial i do joe castro aljazeera Washington Well later on thursday mulvaney tried to backtrack as we said before his comments in a written statement to journalists saying there was absolutely no quid pro quo between Ukrainian Military aid and any investigation into the 2016 election the democratic chairman of the House Intelligence Committee adam schiff has responded to mulvane his comments things have just gone from very very bad to much much worse. The idea that vital military assistance would be withheld for such a patently political reason for the reason of serving the president s reelection campaign. Is. A phenomenal breach of the president s duty to defend our National Security and i hope that every member democrat and republican will speak out and condemn this illicit action by the president and his chief of staff the u. S. Energy secretary rick perry has announced his resignation just as he faces questions from that impeachment inquiry into president dropped hes been ordered to provide documents related to a ukrainian state Energy Company as well as explain his pot in a call between trump and ukraines president the former Texas Governor has been in the role since march 27th jane trump said perry quote has done a fantastic job but it was time for him to leave.
