and i'm your connection to the play route explosion. hi, friend me. yes, i'm a 10 year movie. i'm the founder and executive director of collection worldwide, and we're fighting and supporting more than a 1000 victims from the baby to explosion. and in that quest for justice, thanks for being on the show survey and tony morales saying that you made a film which was basically half an hour asking questions while i was making the film so important that there is an investigation happening in beirut. yes. but got investigation has not provided any answers throughout the year. we have been speaking of journalists to survivors to the families of the victims, and they want answers. they want some sense of closure. they can, their loved ones will never come back to them. but at least they deserve to know who was responsible for this. one of the biggest crimes in lebanon's history,

if not, the world's history and authorities and the judge. the judge has not even began formal questioning. in fact, have been investigative journalists to have been, i'm covering, i don't want to use the word truth, but at least presenting a connection, maybe not conclusions, but connections, enough information enough evidence enough fact that warrant a proper investigation. but this is lebanon. this is a country where, which has a very dark and turbulent pass political assassinations, bombings. yet none of them have been investigated. none of the, none of them we saw arrest, none of them. there was no, not even a trial. and yet you have this blast, which affected everybody in the lebanese capital, and many people in lebanon, say, if there is no conclusion to this, if the, if justice is not served, and if there is no accountability, then you can say that lebanon will never, ever be a state i see you not in the right. can you give us

a sense of what this past 12 months has been like for you and your family? how much support if you've been given, have you been able to say ok this, this, what happened to my family? what happened to hundreds of other people and out of the pop people who were injured? this should be investigated. we need accountability. can you tell me concrete things that are happen that you can share with us right now? thank you. thank you. actually what i just mentioned, i was mentioning it was the last 12 months i was always saying that if this last goes unpunished, then, then it will be a new home. then there will be no hope that you will ever have a state and the meaning in the, in the meaning of states. and it's been for the,

for the last year. i mean, we had the 1st judge and then when he called for investigation some high level officials they just changed him for, for no valid reason for no really logical reason. and then he was replaced by judge guitar. another judge, judge baton is doing his best. he's an honest person, but i knew he didn't know he wasn't able to have the proper interest. ation of the persons who were involved or of the high official high level officials were enforced. they are covered by immunities and the deputies are not accepting to initiate

immunities. and they continuous to try to, to find i don't know, you ways to trick i'm in the, to take the notes so that they do not. i mean, and you see this and yet it just for these high level officials to come forth for investigation. and we are certain of the investigation stuff. what will happen later? what will happen when, really, anyway, will we ever pass beyond this investigation step? and suppose we did it for our optimistic and we did when we are, each in conviction will ever achieve accountability. will justice ever be served? and i want to ration of course you are not alone and asking that question: will justice ever be stuff? this is ellie ellie is

a survivor from the bay roof glass. this is what he told us earlier. i am for me and for is of his life, the titles of grain at work afraid my father died and the last year because of course when i just want to do in being to john

antonia, if the legal assistant 11, an even able to handle an investigation of this important, what is going wrong? yes, thank you about question. i mean we can, no, i can decades with you and report that have stated that the justice system is corrupt. floored in her political interference. in fact, even pick i back. this number was 19752909991. i'm just, you know, was issued which means that was going to be one individual that was prosecuted from that 15 year civil war. moving forward. the system has little changed or improved. where do we stand now? one year on. we heard it from saying on the bed about this. if you will, what i've got 30 people individuals, low level individuals, many from the port has been arrested and detained. 35 individuals charged,

but no persecutions moving forward and do we think that will take place? it's extremely unlikely. it strengthens up on history when that allegations against the state will state individual. but there will be placement, parents doing the justice system, and the justice will not be served. so at this stage we have various and interesting that we saw a statement from president iron last week talking about listing the immunities. we heard that marie talking about that because they want to interview for ministers and catch a prime minister. but at this point, unity is not been left today. and that must be so again, to see the best ation. as dana was trying to investigate some of the key questions that we want to know about the pe roop last, she piece together, what journalists were finding, what she was finding an in her report is a compliance lawyer. have a listen. have

a look. i shall sophie dean is a lawyer who specializes in export compliance. he has analyzed scores of documents and explains why he believes the shipment was not legal from the start. these are closes or the nitrate ammonium. they need a lot of administer of process before thinking of importing them. there's a process by law that should be done before entering them. and what's included in this process is the responsibility of the army, the lebanese army. it's included in this process. so when they entered, they did not get the approval of the army, they just, you know, just took a decision and unloaded the product inside lebanon. they know this is really messed up, right, highly combustible material stashed away. warehouse number 12. i believe there were fireworks in the port. i made it just

a disaster waiting to happen. what else did you find out that was pretty critical for us to know. well, 1st of all, they do not know. we know that there was a fire. there was a fire, the warehouse 12 videos that have students emerged to show you. this tells you part of the story and what caused the fire? no answer. was it an accident because repair work was being done at warehouse 12 just a few hours before the explosion? was it intentional? were some people trying to hide the truth, trying to hide a possible test or trying to hide some evidence? because what is, what is really concerning is that the ammonium nitrate was there for how many or 67 years and suddenly so much attention on the ammonium nitrate the past few months before the blast with the state security is showing a report that judge ordering repair work with somebody worried that they're going to uncover something. so was there an intentional fire to try to hide evidence or

was there a rocket attack like some officials alleged? but that theory has since been discounted because of soil samples and water samples taken by french forensic investigators. so we don't know what caused this, this fire that triggered the ammonium nitrate that caused this, this blast. but what we do know now is that the top officials from the president, the caretaker prime minister, back of the army chief back him years ago. oh, knew about the presence of ammonium nitrate and they all knew about the dangers. and what we have since found out is not only that they know about the dangers they miscommunicated, then mischaracterized the dangers when they were communicating with the judiciary. so it seems that they were trying to hide something which poses the question. so was this shipment really intended for bay route and not mozambique, as officials claimed back in 2013. so was it intended to be route? and then there's a lot of connections who have syria and nationals who have been sanctioned by the u . s. government were trying to procure ammonium nitrate back in 2013 when that ship

arrived in, in lebanon. they have been since linked to the company that bought this ammonium nitrate. so you have all these connections, all these documents. and yet the investigators and the authorities are doing nothing. then you ask yourself, how did this happen? well, it's the way the port is managed. it allows for the security vacuum. the space is not in control and live on the state to so weak that the different political parties they hold sway over state institutions. so it allows for these vac security vacuums. and imagine there's not even a scanner at they will port. so could you just imagine, did i miss? no, no, no, really. i have so many questions for you guess. and i'm going to ask you to be quite brief in your response to your reaction to them. this is news reactive. i'm going to get this one to you marie, for the sadness that many families fail by not having an officer who is responsible for the disaster. the president of lebanon should take that on his shoulders.

otherwise they will never be justice, mariah we thought about that, comment we as challenges of victims, actually we are victims ourselves because we are living without life and what, what to how mother can can survive without without my shot. how can i survived norman? actually what we really want is complete justice. we want to everybody who were enforced to be convicted. we want justice to be achieved and compute manner. so we want to know who the choice of who rubbish nitrate accepted, taught to store these nitrate centers, adventure larry, i'm in the main or near the highway. who knew about them, but did nothing intentionally or unintentionally when you about them and didn't even care to warn the people living in the area or order to people. so it's really

what we're looking for is a compute justice for justice to the actual because to be complete thought here once on each one is a video comment. i'm going to give it to you on tony up at the very briefly in rom wants to know. thank you in ron, why justice is not being served right now and more questions from our video comment? go have all of that included in the explosion? this is why we see the policing security community and to prevent from questioning security informations as senior secretary officers. after what do you have this? you have yet to know how the money you might have to support the way they would get what purposes and what led to the ultimate explosion to lease justice for the, for the by the judge. why it is so important by public and international community

. these are reasonable things to be asking a whole year later. antonia yes, i mean we, i'm an international rights lawyer and for the 20 years have been advising representing individuals from some of the previous 2 conflicts across the world. quite frankly, i've been shocked by the situation in lebanon, and i don't think we're going to receive justice because that is what history has shown us. and look at the situation that we have. we have one judge to investigate the dream, the complex case we supported maybe by any 2 or 420 judges. that is not sufficient resources and then put into this. that's why we are calling for united nations investigation and independent speak the truth and to have accountability, which is what we're re and the families are fighting for. and that is how we believe that the only way that it could take place. and i just want to say you an

investigation does not mean international criminal court. it doesn't mean establishment special tribunal is the deployment of independence in the un investigators, which is quite easily happens and i will investigate myself. so those are new prime minister designate right now the g mccarty and, and he filled in quite a lot of heat from families and survivors who is speaking earlier. and i thought we wanted people to feel that after a year of having no government and no states that the government has been formed and that there is now a state today. we can't blame the families of victims and those who are affected by the explosion. because for the past year there has been no state. our role was for us to stand beside them on august 4th, so much going on in lebanon. we've seen as you and i in the stream is spoken before about an economic says, a covey crisis. groceries can afford the groceries. the army, i believe,

is now eating via donations because we don't have enough food. that the level of chloe sees in lebanon is so deep. how an uff is an investigation going to take place that will bring people to a power when justice to families santa is is, is that i don't want to ask, is that possible? but is that what people lebanon are really asking? well, this is what people are asking. of course, they want to know the truth, but i remember the morning after that last what i said that, you know, lebanon lost so much when already there were so little the economy had began to collapse, unemployment businesses were closing, and then you have the current, a virus pandemic, and everybody thought lebanon reached rock bottom after that blast. and then now it's just total freefall. the currency has crashed,

the food insecurity. children are still traumatized today. unicef released their findings and they said a lot of children are still traumatized from this blast. the, there's no state there has never been a state level on, there has been political parties, former warlords during the civil war, who are now running the country who are responsible for running the economy into the ground. the international community, this time around is not going to bail them out. they're telling them you need to reform, you need to carry out structural reforms in order to, for us to, to give you international assistance. but they don't want to do that because they're clinging onto power. and you know, the political class banding together, closing ranks in the face of judge baton who the family seemed to trust. but he's up against the political and security establishment. and it's highly unlikely he's going to win this battle, the battles for justice, because it seems the battle against accountability is winning for the time being.

i'm going to bring in a voice marie, this is such, such is aware of the one the anniversary because he was involved in the bay room bloss. he's a survivor. this is what he told us earlier. a really love to talk to you about your son. one year later, after we hear from such i was really head, i had many operations in my arm and my foot. i had my eyes and zillion switches, and i have a permanent damage in my i looked at them for the 1st anniversary of the blast. we need to stop romanticize and good. this is what it is. the coffins are still open. the one that are still healing, and people have not fixed their homes, deaths due to the crisis today. think that they can't afford this many reasons. so we can not done and do many more years on open coffins. we need to bury our that source and then go and do memorials.

i'm just thinking about, you're now on this or for anniversary that you're having to mock. what is it like since last all this on the 4th of last of last year, every day it's force of august twice the family. it's every day, the 4th of august life, i stop there and that day and at 6 or 7 pm. we do not want any memorials. we just want for now justice to be served for. we actually have justice. we don't want anything else. i lost my son. he was, he was full of dreams and full of life. he had big dreams. he

wanted, he wanted to talk to do many things in life. he wanted to be an architect to be a router. and pretty big jean. they just took him away. the why i mean for what and full and why? just because someone in a story cheated and do their job intentionally or unintentionally because they decided to store bombs to, besides, then should area for 6 years, 6 years official script peeking discourse. and no one did anything to take these bumps, which so i'm just looking at

$300.00 foot. thank. thank you. it's how awful to be on the international tv to talk about this pain. i really appreciate you doing that. i'm looking at a picture of your, your son here. he's such a handsome young man. and whenever you see that smile, you can't help but smell like back at him. it's like an electric smile here. something on youtube struck me as so let's go to the youtube comments here because it feels really appropriate to share this thought with you. as the viewers are watching, you share your stories, antonia, and, and also moray to 10 says just this is know everything, just this doesn't hill wounds. justice doesn't build back a house, pay of damages take responsibility. it doesn't pay in people's medical bills. i will pass that broken have, but i'm going to add, but it will give you some sense of peace. let me show you something here. this is
