world as it is right now, not the world. we like it to be. the devil is always going to be in the details. the bottom line when i was just there i'm, i've worked out there english since it's lord should, as a principal presenter and as a correspondent with any breaking the story we want to hear from those people who would normally not heard on the international news channels. one moment i'll be very proud of was when we covered the napoleon wake of 2015, a terrible natural disaster. and the story that needs to be told from the hall of the affected area to be there to tell the people story was very important at the time, unprompted and uninterrupted discussions from our london rule can santa, ah, ah,

the ah. hello again. this up, sorry, on the all the is there an hour the after the taliban claims that now controlled 85 percent of the country. the delegation from the group has been visiting moscow and has assured russia that it will not violate any international border. un security council has approved a deliveries from turkey into rebel health syria for another year. russia had threatened to block the operation, but a compromise has now been reach presidency menu and my call says franz will start closing in spaces in northern molly before the end of the year, my pro hosted leaders from africa region and a virtual summit. he plans to withdraw most of the 5000 french soldiers in the region. lebanon's interior minister has rejected a request by the lead investigator in the bay. ruth port explosion probe to

question the security chief. more than 200 people were killed last year when explosive material designated and cause a devastating blast. then that has more from a roots. it's been nearly a year since they closed an app, a report, and there's still been no accountability. 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate was stored in a warehouse alongside label material. and that was believed to have triggered the black who was responsible for unsafely soaring this material. well, the judge leading the case has come up with a list of suspects who he wants to question. they may face criminal charges, criminal negligence, but so far he has not been able to question them. these are politicians, members of the security establishment, including the caretaker prime minister, has done a number of m p 's, who were former ministers at the time when the ammonium nitrate was sort of support

. as well as 2 of living on top, a security agencies that has of these 2 security agencies, but the judge is facing political backlash and it's not the 1st time politicians have been trying to send and the weight of the judiciary, the previous judge was removed from his toes following a court order, he was accused of overstepping his, his authority's now in a country like lebanon, where there has been a culture of impunity. a few really believe the truth will ever be known and that's justice. will be served more than $200.00 people were killed. thousands were injured. hundreds of thousands were made homeless and still the investigation has been slow. it's still not knowing what caused the fire that's believe to have triggered the blasts. and it's still not known about the origins of the shipment, who brought that shipment in the country. and there's also questions on whether or not 2750 pounds were in fact inside the warehouse when the explosion happened. so more many questions answered that the judge trying to initiate the process of

prosecuting suspects. but the politicians sounding in the way the bustle against the accountability is so far been stronger than the battle for justice. let's make that a man rides the lawyer who represents one of the victims off that they route explosion . he's joining us from the capital. thanks so much for speaking to us on skype, from lebanon. first of all, tell us what legal options there are going forward for the general prosecutor to challenge the minister's decision. who of course rejected the request to question the security chief. good evening all. so based on that event is low. when the judge to question public servant, you need to have a permission from his superior. the superior here is the minister here. so the quest was presented to the minister and to give permission to enter again general ever i am yes. the

minister of interior refuse this, this parisian saying that based on his view of the file, there are no for committed by the janitor. now the legal options, based on the law that was amended last year and 2020 the persecutor gun by quest, by the judge of investigation over the permission that was denied from the by the minister and give permission to the lead investigator to investigate the job or any other public service? so this is where we are now. this is where we stand, right? these investigators issued a letter to the general persecutor, asking him to bypass or bypass the decision of the minister and give permission for investing for interrogation rights and given the history of policy station off,

lebanon's, judiciary. as you know, how likely is a, do you think this, anyone will be questioned in this investigation from the security general to the other members of parliament that are requested was actually due to the position of the city system plus, due to the los that even when when now they want to interrogate a member of the parliament, the parliament should give permission for that. they want to investigate ex army chief. also the minister of defense should give permission. it's always politics. this rule based on the history and, and on for interrogating people in the political positions or, and security positions. i actually don't see this happening soon, but i have a lot of woke to day on judge some hoodie and not just on our way down

because joe judge, the son is not looking into this fight anymore because he is the law of one of the bushes to be the ministers. so he's not looking at the spies anymore of the find was transferred to the south. would we have was that just a sample that he will give permission to enter a gate job best for him or any other public servant. that is the questioning, and then you represent one of the families, one of the victims, in fact, the families, victims off that explosion that took place almost one year ago. what do they think of the fact that there has still been no justice and no accountability at this point? was extremely depressing. it's extremely hard for them only to present one

of the victims family. i was a victim of this explosion. i had damages in my house last night, a lot of new to had their houses damage. and all of us all live on these people are victims of this explosion, even if we didn't have any material damages. we have been under a trauma and the shock that can and by low as close to the as a damage possible for, for us to struggle against the people who committed this so far we are the find is moving really slow. we know, as you said, almost a month from now one year and the 1st one year anniversary for this explosion. so this is going very, very slow. but again, based on the, the button is low, there's only one judge working on this by. it's not a committee of judges, it's not investigation committee,

it's only one judge that was just the one and now it's judge b, but don't retire so far. for me as we are following up on the spine is doing a good job, it can be better. but so far with all the obstacles he has been facing his doing a good job so far and we are, we have good faith in him. ok, thank you so much for speaking to us from beirut. us president joe biden has signed an executive order aimed at cracking down on anti competitive business practices. it urges federal agencies to focus anti trust enforcement efforts. in the tech i read culture and labor sectors, the white house as domination by large companies as stifled economic growth. what we've seen over the past few decades is less competition and more concentration that holds our economy back. we see the big gag crows room, big tech and big pharma list goes on. rather than competing for consumers.

they are consuming their competitors. rather than competing for workers, they're finding ways to gain the upper hand on labor. and too often, the government has actually made it harder for new companies to break in and compete our white house correspondent, kimberly how can instructing us to put all of this into context for us and tell us more about this executive order. and the reason the by the ministration is doing this is just one of many efforts to revive the economy following the shut down due to cobra 19. and what we've seen is that during the pandemic corporation did really well, in fact, they grew even stronger, but small businesses by the 10s of thousands simply could not exist, cease to exist. and so, as they struggle now to come back, the biden administration says it's doing all it can to help those businesses in

a turn crate job. so what this executive order does is there really counters what many see as ongoing corporate consolidation that simply doesn't give the ordinary consumer and small businesses of fighting chat. what it will do is make sure through the executive order, the federal agencies keep a big guy on companies like amazon, google, facebook in terms of their mergers and acquisitions. but what we'll also do is when it comes to other sectors, like for example, pharmaceuticals, it will allow for federal agencies to see that cheaper prescription drugs can come in from canada. essentially what this is geared to do is to keep prices down for consumers and i really give them the opportunity to engage in the economy, not just the wealthy elite. so that is the goal of the buy and ministration. but i can tell you that there are some businesses that are pushing back on this. they say this is going to lead to sort of

a centralized government control. this is not the free market economy that has allowed america. c to become great and could potentially are unintended consequences could be a stifling of innovation and kimberly the president also held a phone conversation with the russian president, what are and what more do we know about that? yeah, the us president talking about that and just the last few moments he was asked about a telephone call that comes we should point out less than a month after he summit in geneva with the russian president vladimir putin. and we should also point out has come since the united states who experience yet another round of routes of where attacks that have hit about 1500 businesses quite adversely in the united states. and so as a result of this latest round of attacks, the us president, as promised in geneva, said he would have this ongoing diplomatic engagement with one of your that's exactly what he did in the message. he told reporters just now that he delivered to

by who knew that look, we are going to retaliate if this continues to happen. what you need to do is, even if this is not state sanctioned attack to on the united states businesses, it's happening on your soil. therefore you need to russia take action to make sure this doesn't happen again. so that's essentially the message that joe biden deliver, but i can also tell you, given the fact that we've had this latest run of attacks, we've had the attacks and colonial pipeline that essentially allowed american consumers to not be able to fill their gas tanks for about a week we saw the meat supply industry disrupted after another round of rats were attacked. americans are growing weary of this and they're looking to their us presidents to take tougher action against russia. but what i can tell you the white house press secretary just now also saying look at this is how the president is approaching it. he reserves the right to retaliate at the time and place to the choosing until then there will be diplomatic engagement. that's what this phone call was about. thank you so much. kimberly,
