Used in true or untrue things worse i did it 3 people color facing wrongful arrest will take a look at how the use of facial Recognition Software impacts black asian abates of American People in the u. S. We begin in lebanon where the government is facing increasing pressure to step down following last weeks explosion for members of the cabinets of the resigned the finance minister is the latest to go he joins the ministers for justice the environment and information in bowing to public pressure the remaining members of the capital are currently meeting with early elections expected to be on the agenda lets go live now to beirut of zeros Bernard Smith is the latest. Well we know the Cabinet Meeting is still going on adrian but the local speculation in the media here in alive and on is that the Prime Minister has on the out will resign no confirmation of that when he does resign hell go to the president ial palace an offer is resignation to 11 on the president s now when he does that if that is. The local speculation is weve got a couple of options essentially either they will become a cat take a government ahead of elections so the Prime Minister will stay in as a caretaker Prime Minister and his cabinet will stay in as a caretaker cabinet polman must approve those elections an alternative is the parliament go to try to appoint some sort of National Unity government some sort of National Unity cabinets that is the preferred scenario of the International Community led by emmanuel macaroni he wants i mean to a representative as much as possible governments im cabinets wholesale even consider giving lebanon any way at the moment the cabinet is mainly is hezbollah and its how it is any of that vote but it going to be enough to quell the anger of the people whove been out on the streets. Well the trouble for all of the people whove been out on the streets there are people here in martyr square activists and protesters and not just people who were out here in martyr square but lebanese all over the country that you can spoken to what they want is a new political system but its going to be extremely hard to get them out because the current electoral law creates eat in such a way that the political elites who run this country control who gets to sit down and mentally elections and in parliament and then when they win those elections those representatives represent a little elites and there is no way of changing that electoral law unless the parliament agrees to do it and the elites of coal control those parliamentarians im not going to let them do that so its extraordinarily difficult to change the system in that middle age.

In gaza today we have this is care or no it is our neighbors helping neighbors people clearing their states of truck. Theres i call for Robust International support for all people we need in lebanon especially women and girls who are most vulnerable in times of rise and i think those countries that are already providing plenty of financial material and specialized assistance i urge the owners to give speedily and generously at this time of all sorrow and prolongs 1st question the anger at the lebanese people is probable their voices must be heard it is important that the gravel and suspend of the investigation determine the cause of the explosion and bring about the accountability demanded by the lebanese people. It is also important that reforms be implemented in source that asked the needs of the lebanese people for the longer term exodus is the 1st built on the initiative of president michel of france we look United Nations yesterday called convene the International Conference on support to beirut and the lebanese people the conference generated much needed financial supports and they affirm the commitment of lebanons many partners including will be averse into that from with that in organizations and you have thrones regional Financial Institutions we had assessing the results and that it could meet its too quick and effective follow up the catastrophe is you know. The sense of loss and even disbelief is profound but lebanese resilience lebanon as events did it and well but i guess most of all lebanon is not alone United Nations will stand with lebanon well believe it is suffering and supports its recovery these are moments for solving their needs and it is the chime to change things for the better and i think thank you general thank you very much indeed. U. N. Secretary general until the turnover show there speaking at the United Nations i was here as such kristen salumi is at the u. N. In new york she was listening to the secretary general there what do you make of what you heard kristen. Well this is the 1st briefing of the secretary general to Member States at the United Nations giving an assessment of the situation on the ground in lebanon hes calling for more International Support for this hard hit country a credible investigation into what went wrong and also government reforms but most of his update was really about the situation on the ground there and what the uns response has been so far the u. N. When and right away with that search and rescue experts and disaster assessment teams and found a very dire situation on the ground right now the World Health Organization has already supplied 20 tons of emergency mel thing health and medical supplies to the country including a 1000 trauma kits for hard hit hospitals and medical facilities 3 hospitals have been completely destroyed there making the response to this catastrophe very dire and difficult the United Nations itself has already released 15000000 dollars to help with the efforts there and its partnering with other organizations crucially on food and shelter which are the most immediate and dire needs for the country right now a grain silo at that port was destroyed and the food situation in lebanon is already quite insecure so that is a very deep and worrying concern for the United Nations humanitarian teams there theyre working with the word World Food Program to assess those shortages already grain and week is being sent in to help deal with that but that is going to be a very long term concern shelter as well were hearing some 300000 lebanese have been made homeless in the midst of a coronavirus epidemic pandemic no less people being forced to live with others great demand for housing the u. N. On that front is partnering with the Lebanese Red Cross and other organizations which gets to another concern here at the United Nations where theres concern about the low. People in desire to help theres concern about the credibility of where countrys money is going where these donations will go and if theyll actually be used to help the people so we heard secretary general antonio tears making a very impassioned plea to not only help the lebanese people but for the lebanese government to be reformed for there to be a credible investigation and for the situations to improve in order to help the people on the ground the uns office for the coordination of humanitarian Affairs BriefingMember States on the situation in lebanon we heard at the start of that meeting at the u. N. Secretary general mcchrystal well let you get back to listening to that meeting well bring you any developments here on out of here as when we hear about the many thanks kristen a u. S. Course has issued a summons against the Saudi Crown Prince in relation to former intelligence agent sadal job the court order also covers 13 other people including residents of the u. S. Jobbery filed a lawsuit accusing Saudi Crown Prince mohammed been solved on of sending a hit squad to kill him 2 years ago hes now in canada where police and private security guards are reported to be giving him increased protection crucified is a former u. S. Associates Deputy Attorney general he says that the summons is an important step in the case. 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 victim protection act that it signals that m. B. A. s will now vigorously lobby President Trump in secretary of state might pump a 0 to issue whats called a letter of suggestion of immunity its rather an odd. Realm of law but they simply it asked the court to dismiss a case because it would interfere with the Foreign Relations of the United States in relations with a head of state or high level officials it is not required that a court accept a suggestion of immunity by the state department but the cases ive litigated theyve given great deference to it but that means that november will be critical for saudi arabia. Under that doctrine President Biden could revoke any suggestion of immunity and reinstate the cakes but i can guarantee you right now saudi arabia and the crown prince are talking his head off with pump a 0 in trying to get me out of this conundrum an armed group attacked a Shopping Center in the democratic republic of congo at least 19 people have been killed the army has been sent to the troubled Northeastern Province of a tour to respond faces from the political and religious sect but as protocol attacked people with machetes more than 200000 congolese a fled attacks in the province since march this year.
