time to try to understand its genesis and whether comes from cream just for the people who don't know levanon is a confessional state a has a very factional nature when it comes to daily politics can just explain to us the structural nature of them not just for those people who don't know yeah sure it's kind of i mean it's a system that was in fact created through the colonial powers as a way to kind of create to bring together the elite sectarian leaders in a kind of consensus kind of government and have representation through the. parliament and the government over time through the civil war that kind of representation and the print and the kind of proportional representation of christians and muslims and shouts and then all this has changed over time but it's become increasingly tied to a much larger and neo liberal economic system that is itself that created kinds of corruption and then this kind of elites structure elite sets of politicians and find that survives and bankers and those that are controlling the economics the the kind of economic system within lebanon just find it on findin

there is a significant significant development no doubt in this ongoing crisis but where will it lead levanon is still too early to say then and we are hearing from the lebanese red cross that some 110 protesters today have already been wounded and you were talking earlier about live ammunition. we've seen plenty of tear gas can you describe the scene for us then now what you've been seeing happen over the course of the afternoon. hours. that are not at all protesters tried to argue that are pushed back by they were pushed me protesters tried to storm parliament building and they were pushed back by by right anti-riot police excessive amounts of tear gas were used but the people held their ground it's not easy to stand here and smell teargas and nobody here has gallus moused but they stayed they would pull back move away and then come back they want to really show that this time around they're defiant they're not leaving in the meantime other program of protesters stormed to ministries the foreign ministry the economy ministry. the army and the internal security forces there saying that they

you're right i was not at all eluding and this is interesting more that levanon this once again full of all kind of conspiracy serious unfortunately and you see all kinds of claims and we'll etc which i don't share at all because. there are there is no reasoning at all why there should be and or manslaughter it is it's very interesting that it's through his speech rejecting i would see even silencing does kinds. rumors and conspiracists this is a good sign but what we definitely need now is that although i mean he's an intelligent man you're actually beginning and i met him once and to swan's is already quite a time ago it was in february 2004 ever since 2006 he has been in constant hiding so i have no idea how he as a person is now he is now because when you're in constant hiding for more than 15 years that i think it has an impact on you but i would say that. he has understood a lot of sings and people who are fighting him also aware of the fact that he is somebody who well. who who is an heir and i will not use that it was strange rather than respectable enemy let's call it like t

this is a national commitment while the cause is still unknown some are already blaming the government levanon is an accident waiting to happen and so many ways so many places whether it's. public services like just any all kinds of government industries are not regulated well we don't like inspectors that so many buildings could collapse so you know again all the problems that lebanon face because they don't really have a strong government that is able to ensure the safety of its citizens and that's been why people have been protesting that's why the currency has been falling so you know there's so many possible accidents and i'm going on so it's. remarks speculate ambulances continue to arrive at this explosion there have been dozens of casualties many victims are still trapped in the rubble and rescue work looks set to continue long into the night the destruction of central beirut appear to come out of nowhere and there's the shock of what happened subsides the demands for answers will continue to grow louder. let's go live now she joins us from beirut so 1st of all how those rescue operati

be divided into different districts over levanon be one single electoral district if you can see people are cheering now because they managed to push the security forces back so there's there's a sense of defiance so and electoral law that will work to the benefit of one religious group for example will enable another religious group so it is very hard to bring people together and the political parties tend to use and exploit these sectarian differences they tend to use sectarianism to make people fear each other it's a question of dividing and rule and this is something the protest movement has failed to achieve to create a united leadership that will speak in one voice who have one vision on the way forward and that's why the protests slowly fizzled out but they're going to be there were also other reasons you had a militarized state as you see right now they used to arrest people. anyone who posts on social media a criticism of the president for example is called in for questioning so there was a lot of intimidation as well so and people were also tired a lot of fatigue and these peo

to the government palace really is an indication that a resignation announcement could be made now levanon now is that if indeed that happens there's 2 ways forward 1st there could be political paralysis because the president will have to call for parliamentary consultations with different parliamentary blocs who have who really don't agree with each other will have to name a new prime minister this is a process the take weeks or months and in the interim the country could be further paralyzed caretaker government that cannot take any decision but there is another road that can be taken and that is a deal and some do believe that when the french president was here a few days ago he did talk about a political initiative and the french president was just not talking on behalf of france but the international community many different sources have told us that there could be a possibility of a national unity government the different political parties in the opposition in the governing alliance coming together agreeing on a new prime minister who will be acceptable not just to the people but the
