Opioid epidemic. Just as in lebanon standing their ground despite the government approving sweeping Economic ReformsPrime Minister saad hariri announced the measures to diffuse the biggest demonstrations in years against the nations leaders last activists say they wont go home until the entire cabinet steps down the hall reports from beirut all. The people have spoken calls go beyond fighting corruption they want accountability and early elections and they say they arent leaving the streets until that happens protests are growing by the day the lebanese government however is refusing to step aside instead it is offering a plan that is supposed to fix the economic crisis without hitting the public with more taxes my thats awful with fear. The cabinet approved the 2020 budget with a deficit of 0. 6 percent with no new taxes the salaries of top officials including legislators and members of parliament will be cut in half as part of the economic reform package the central bank and the Banking Sector will help in reducing the deficit by about 3400000000 are the decisions that we have taken might not to fill your demands but they fulfill what i have been calling for i will not allow anyone to scare you and its the governments duty to protect your peaceful demands. Too little too late the proposed reforms are not enough to calm the anger people have no faith. They are right they have no faith and no one. Prime minister the president and the fundamental people have no faith in the leaders of the moment even if they think that they were going to do it for positive for so i would begin to believe that. The way forward according to the protesters involves the government resigning a Transitional Council made up of judges who dont have political affiliations taking over until elections and those elections will be held under a new law whereby lebanon will become one single constituency and sects will no longer just elect their own sectarian leaders. Demands the governing alliance has already rejected the protesters are up against those in power who wont hesitate to use it but there is hope. For. The. Position of the sun. This is the be the rebirth. Were all going to be able to do a girl who was a supporter. For many here its a new beginning. Those who are taking part in this protest movement say it is a rejection of the political elite have been in power. Protecting exploiting the sectarian system of government at the expense of building a strong state. The state resources to support in their community now some of their supporters have risen up against the 1st and the serious. The path for political change in lebanon has now been drawn but the road ahead wont be easy i think the most important thing is the sense of liberation.

Beirut. Is a professor at George Washington universitys Elliott School of International Affairs he says the situation in lebanon is unprecedented and wont be solved by tried and tested techniques. What we have today is a crisis of governance in lebanon the people who are in the streets in their hundreds of thousands just are unwilling to listen for whatever the the the officials on the platform are going to offer. Their sense is that theres been plenty of time for the officials that time and again deliver on past promises and they fail one of the more interesting things thats happening with the unprecedented really in lebanon is that each of the communities are taking on the established political powers in that very Community People are very aware that they dont want this to be a sunni versus shia or a muslim versus christian so we have revolts within revolts in various communities of people trying to overthrow the political order that they feel has done them wrong.

Canadian Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau says his country has voted for a Progressive Agenda his liberal party has projected. Hold on to government for a 2nd time its expected to win the most seats to mondays general election though it is unlikely to hold on to its majority Justin Trudeau is speaking live now in this to canadian city of montreal hes addressing his supporters after the election on monday lets listen in. To school i believe. To this he says school the School Student who called it questions and the only. Way you know that was. Always the way is that the Prime Minister was speaking in english just a few moments ago and has now switched to french so while we wait we may dip back in once he changes languages once again lets speak to i was there was down to a lack. Of forests so the Prime Minister painting this very much as a victory for his party its not quite that though is it. No its not its a bit of a narrow escape actually his party actually won a little bit less of the popular vote that his conservative opponent led by his conservative opponents led by Andrew Scheer the Opposition Leader just a tiny bit less but thanks to the westminster system 1st past the post constituency based voting that goes on here the party that wins the most seats in parliament is the one that governs or at least gets the chance to govern to win the confidence of Parliament Mr trudeau is right though to say that canadians did choose a more progressive alternative to the conservatives one that favored Climate Change policy one that wanted more immigration into the country and one that was going to keep carbon taxes in place to fight Climate Change mr shear had promised changes in all of those files other parties that are left of center to the left of mr trudeau they also did fairly well in this election so it is fair enough to say that canadians voted more progressive lee than conservatively not all of them though voted for him so if hes got the most seats in parliament but not enough to form a majority how will he. Well hes got a couple of choices most likely he will have informal deals with one or 2 of the opposition parties give them a little of what they want in exchange for votes that he needs on the votes of confidence money bills and big legislation like that its unlikely that hell form a Coalition Government he has numerically a fairly Strong Majority he just needs maybe 20 more seats to help him over the threshold of 170 seats that will give him a majority of votes every time he needs one and you know to be honest a lot of parties probably dont have an appetite for a fresh election any time soon its expensive its debilitating and the last campaign was fairly negative mr trudeau and mr sheer when ted each other pretty enthusiastically and it wasnt always a happy sight for voters in the end though most of them and we did hear this from voters today as we were going around the polling stations many of them held their noses and voted for mr trudeau and his liberals as the alternative that you know gave them a little more satisfaction a little bit more progressive policies than perhaps mr scherer and his conservatives i was there a stunning lack reporting live there from toronto many thanks indeed. 4 major u.
