Lets go live now to pay routes to jamal wakim jamal is professor of International Relations out Lebanese University thanks very much for joining us this hour some news coming in jamal in the last few moments weve heard the Prime Minister is calling for an early election is not going to help calm the arm rest in lebanon. Well i dont really know because. There are too many of these. Gentlemen im going by the people by the people. Disappointed by the system. Economy crisis the country almost a year ago. I believe. Any. Early election would be short of. That us but we need we need not just because the fact that there are other parties. Trying to capitalize on the people just. To form a government they are partially responsible for the. Economy. Social policy thats left. In addition they are also prompted by the United States escalate the lebanon as part of a campaign isolate. And i should add on lebanon to detach from what. They call the act itself is. To certify as a base an american base especially after the United States has lost ground and much on the ground. And its trying to something. Much responsibility jamal do you think that this government and the previous government whoever was in charge parents for the tragedy because you had almost calling them Ammonium Nitrate stored in a very crowded area in the port of this for quite a long time as well how much does not go to the government. I believe and this government is to be blamed after all it is in charge and it should have. Known. About the existence of this. But this was back in 2000. Never been. Responsibility shouldnt be limited to the director of the. Director general of customs but they also responsibility of the minister of finance who is in charge. Or on successive minutes of the finance all successive ministers what do you do your own successive ministers. And of course Prime Ministers president s of republics since 2014. Do you think this will be served because has by the method he admitted to corruption was to blame for choose the deadly port blast are you expecting criminal charges perhaps jail terms to follow for whoever is found to be responsible. Well i believe. Justice would not be so because based on my understanding that it. Was found at the but im ready suspect the crime that he just wants and limits them to 2nd. Including the director general of customs and the director general. Or minister or Prime Minister or. Public or even the army so. That it was brought up and i believe. Expecting a fair trial. Will not be so im not on the government but also under this. Regime. And i dont believe that we will have and it would use in any time soon its genuine want. A look at the program to manage such but nevertheless theres a lot of anger out there jamal is there were looking at pictures as you were speaking live picture of what is happening today we seen jim i love you protesters reportedly storming the Foreign Ministry building in the city of churches trying to get into the Economy Ministry where does this lead. Well i believe this expresses our own good but i feel that it could engender civil strife and this is what i fear most. In this case it could best the intentions of the United States which would like nice things in lebanon. And nonstable lebanon to serve as a star belies a city which is which has been successful to a large extent. Most of it that is that we want the United States that looks at the region. From the perspective that its trying to compensate for what has lost and syria by the people who hold both lebanon and by making lebanon the source of instability. To syria or to do that and all the city ends and the russians as with. What came jamal is professor of international ation south Lebanese University in thanks for coming in the program and sharing your piece.

This bus station used to be one of the routes main public transport hubs it was far from an anonymous depo know thousands of people used to travel all around the country before the coronavirus. Amid all havoc you can still pinpoint the telltale signs of peoples panic of their rush to leave the area as they were caught up on the bluster there are documents left behind on car seats there are luggage bags all over the place and in cars with everything still inside hence the heavy Army Presence we had to get through a number of military checkpoints on the way here they are holding off marauders and looters but as people ran hundreds of thousands found out they may have no longer a place to call home because son who lives a few 100 meters from the pool it felt something was room before the main lost the house says its never going.

Coming because this isnt going to go this is gods son and his wife with no means to mend their apartment by themselves are telling me they are ready to leave the ruins of no help comes and they are among the lucky ones the actually have someplace else to strive for a better life lebanon already home to syrian and Palestinian Refugee camps now may need a camp for its own people with over 300000 displaced by the blast he done from beirut in lebanon. Or for one couple in beirut choose they were supposed to be a big event for a very different reason this is the moment the blast occurred while a Wedding Party were taking photos in a church. The World Health Organization is warning that beiruts Health Care System has been badly compromised it was already under severe pressure from the covert 1000. 00 pandemic on top of the explosion on tuesday but 3 hospitals are of action medics are working around the clock to save the lives of those seriously injured in the tragedy here is one heroic nurses story. That when the explosion went off the ground shook beneath us the blast held me into another room i opened my eyes and found myself covered in the rubble i found my colleagues and friends line here on the ground covered in blood. In. The Neonatal Intensive Care Units in the covered in rubble as well i started pulling me to go in sort of the units i was terrified because i thought the babies might be crushed under the rubble but then go they were ok then i took them through this corridor and down through flights of stairs. I carried the babies and i was determined to take them to another hospital the only way less than 2 kilograms they had nothing on them except died people on the street gave me the t. Shirts and clothes so i could read to me why. Simply didnt become savannah i. Think i was holding the 3 babies and i didnt know that i was going to be evil to resteal them not all the times counting the heads in my chest to make sure they were still there. 2 more world news this hour the u. S. Country intelligence chief may not russia china and iran are all trying to meddle in the november election the director of d a National CountryIntelligence Security center say there are several foreign powers that quote have a preference over the Election Results china apparently views predictable and doesnt want him to win as for russia its using a range of measures against joe biden and iran could undermine american democracy donald trump lower house his own views on the matter i think that the last person russia wants to see in office is donald trump because nobody has been tougher on russia than i have ever the last thing that russia wants and china wants and iran wants would be for donald trump to win. We heard from journalist and author done the laws are done the things both democrats and republicans are already looking for someone to blame if they lose the election. The us is filled with Corporate Media pumping out propaganda at top volume around the clock. That the russians chinese in a rainy ins can barely get a word mets one point is that theyre theyre able to pull these charges out of their hat they have no evidence because there is no evidence theres no indication of any kind of major russian interference and u. S. Electoral process is the republicans who are accusing the democrats of cheating trump is already doing that but through the misuse of mail in ballots and the democrats are repairing to blame a Trump Victory on russia so i saw a both sides are now at down out building up their excuses and case they lose to blame it on the other person its a recipe for disaster thats why that could very easily be some kind of political meltdown in november were going underground and spoke to the american philosopher political activist colonel west upon the upcoming election and also the rise of the black lines motor movement. Im going to say angela davis on this show endorsed endorsed joe biden in november no im chomsky is endorsed joe biden do you think that joe biden will save us from another Nuclear Conflagration as we commemorate the dead of hiroshima yeah i had a choice between a meal liberal disaster you know asked yes i would go to the older would disaster that so but americans are sick impact is a spiteful impact its a most unpleasant embar weve got the number one vote human being on the inside weve got some movement on the inside weve got a magnificent courageous and visionary citizen on the inside but we are losing. We are losing were resisting but were still losing the greed the hatred wall street pentagon is they are in control of the empire and they are taking it all what is different about these uprisings since whats in los angeles in 165 and before and after the beautiful thing is that you have. This coming together and making the connection between not just police power and Police Murder but the tweet police least murder wall street car wall street crimes and pentagon power and pentagon crimes once you make those connections and connect to the most you cant make them up the mix may develop it could make the family look rabbi Abraham Joshua heschel as able to make. The greatest intellectual along with noam chomsky and been making for most of his intellectual life once every day people begin to make those connections then were on to something those can actually be made more now than they were before. Colonel west there if you want to catch the full episode you can watch it all later today here on r. T. International. Followers of a Conspiracy Theory movement known as Human Element are being bombed by facebook we look at whats driving the platforms popularity on that show. Join me every day on the alex salmond and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im sure ill see you. Again facebook has become the latest social media platform to crack down on hugh and all conspiracy cold turnt now after deleting a group with some 200000 members for violating the platforms guidelines followers of the Fringe Movement helping voicing their support for president the head of novembers election but as told quarter explains the popularity of q. And all has only grown despite being snubbed by the political and media elites. In the world of q. And a nod labeled by the u. S. Government as one of the most dangerous conspiracy theories of all time humanity is at war and President Trump is here to save it he went on which essentially believes the entirety of the Democratic Party are conspiring and running an underground pedophile sex trafficking ring pacifically would cue in on is a free nation in which many baseless conspiracy theories are discussed on the internet the synergy of interest in q one comes as the u. S. Skews a predilection a few years ago it was a fringe theory and tomorrow the headlines will be massive protests a few is a bunch of people there on the inside to the good guys and they know the real story whats going on and its all about in the deep state its not in the spirit of fact donald trump was picked by military leaders to run for president as a way to kind of bring down the state its still on the f. B. I. s list of domestic terror threats but as of late its been entering into the mainstream even made an appearance on americas most watched Television Network q can do some crazy stuff with the pizza stuff and the way for stuff but theyve also uncovered a lot of great stuff when it comes to epstein and that comes with a deep state 2020 has been a year like no other and when big events happen people look for explanations so it should come as little surprise that politicians are looking to capitalize on that sentiment around 70 former and current congressional candidates have already given their public approval would you consider yourself a follower of you and on what does that mean. Well i think what we need to recognize and actually most people do know a lot about it is that there is a deep state that exists its not clear whether these people really believe in q. A. Non or theyre just trying to win some political points but whatever the case q a non has some seriously high profile supporters and the media is raising the alarm over it but for many q. A nons rise in popularity is the result of that media went on is this just in a mall the mace you know all of the greatest conspiracy theories thrown into one big believe ive only been actively posting it say for the past couple of months but the response is insane constantly focusing airtime on attacking the president could very well have pushed Trump Supporters to more radical ideas a ministration defined by ignorance of the world so thats partly him playing to their base and playing to their audience you know the credulous boomer rube demo that backs on all
