12:05 am
whatever the situation is, is for the benefits, and they know that any changes in this political system is going to be for their benefit. and for this benefit, because from 5050, we're going to move to one sort of part. today the state is deadlocked. the power sharing agreement between religious communities, which ended lebanon civil war in 1990, no longer seems to be working center for the l. zita. balte are joining us now via skype from barrett. his activist jessica obeyed. before we turn to political developments, can i 1st ask you about what life is like in lebanon right now? what a crumbling economy in deteriorating currency means, living and working conditions in the country. a lot of uncertainty and stability. we're afraid of losing basic services like electricity and to not almost everything
12:06 am
. so when we have hostage of power, you madison. so it's turning into humanitarian crisis as well. and on top of the economic collapse and humanitarian crisis you described, there was this, i mean, any way before this point that was existing, political paralysis wasn't. and now the cabinet formation process has hit a dead end. how much worse? what does this mean for the people she was in, so i'm not sure that the people had high expectations for emma hated governments because it's just like maintaining the start of school living. these people have tried so many unity government governments, heidi, but people also protested back in october to 1019 against the government by how did it so that the stations were low. dr. having reform for the economy and financial crisis from such such a government. however, which we're seeing today is the lack of inaction that they've been witnessing for
12:07 am
for more than a year and has been through an entire blast in beta. and this incident today is highlighting that the political system and the political powers. i'm not interested in any kinds of forms and not feeling any pressure to change anything to change the status of school or actually do any one. where does that pressure need to come from? because it seems, there is a sense of exhaustion on the part of french presence manual macro. what i have to say that was that, that look is because after the baby and the french initiative and international community in general have been put so long giving lifetime to the political system, to the political people, to empower giving them problems. so he was just just thinking man, and he kind of the forms and we give you money and obviously that hasn't worked
12:08 am
with with the people in ours. it hasn't worked in the past. my says and before that and years before that. so there's nothing community would need to use to penalize them. people are exhausted because they're losing hope in the ability to change. so it would be very hard under conditions. what would a further action as we worry about not having elections and that you time the next 2022. so there are lots of uncertainties, but yeah, that is international community has contributed in the fastest school and they need to been live when you say that the international, when you played a role in terms of offering a level of support or a lifeline to the current government would a total, would a total collapse then mean that the political class and the establishment actually
12:09 am
also suffers some kind of consequence to their inaction into this paralysis or what the, i mean, would the cost be, be too great for the people if that would happen it would be today to the people, but also me and as the political people empower, it would be probably the more to stop it because the people become, the more houses they're going to see it. and then they're going to be dependent on people to sustain them. however, that whenever support is going to come to that been and has come to the fast, it should be with close up and close. when i think the winner and my selector in agencies, and at this stage i think that people have lost trust and the state. so in a way, there should be dancing institutions, but also making sure that whatever money and know what the going to be large of the amount of money. but whatever the humanitarian money funds is going to also change
