11:16 am
hyper and hyper inflation. this is very bad. that's the revenues economy, the financial system collapsed in late 2019 successive governments had piled up that for years before money stopped coming in. the bank in the central bank and the lebanese state were literally back together. as a result, a few minutes economic model is fine deposit through, through deposits from the wealthy community, which the bank then use the land to the central bank. now this status nearly bankrupt and banks are insolvent. authorities have not agreed on the way out of the crisis, but they acknowledge the revocation is possible. but at the rate that dominates trading litigation is one of the things that it is mentioned from now and then makes it very difficult in order to see exactly what we think of it. as far as i
11:17 am
know, a prime minister is doing his best and order the small and the middle deposit to receive back their deposit. many are skeptical. processed like this one have not abroad changes. the state is still controlled by the same political class lane for the financial collapse, and those who hold the power and the individuals linked to them are the majority of shareholders and back depositors say it is day who have been bearing the losses in the financial sector. officials estimates amount to $69000000000.00 within guy also like factors increase back on people. and meanwhile, like the majority of of you will get beaten and low any 0 which i lost around 95 percent of it. value politicians should be presenting an economic recovery plan to the international monetary fund to receive assistance, but that would require reforms that we can there hold on the states resources. instead, they prepare the state budget that appears to put additional burdens on the people

this footage shows i saw the fighters breaking into prison. a pile of bodies dressed in uniform lane, the corner kurdish forces say they have the upper hand. i like the i been habits now. days exist only in the prison. i mean, apart from the prison, they don't exist any way. so they are controlling the prison only, and we are surrounding them. they do have weapons, i don't deny that, but they can't do anything with that. they might run out of ammunition and therefore they don't fight back residents near the prison or fling the fighting them, but it's been bombing pain and context since yesterday and young people were slaughtered . what is happening? the situation is catastrophic. we felt the shelling and conflict. we got scared for our children in flood. there's also reports i so fighters have broken into homes and killed people. slaughtering diane members broken and killed for men. our neighbors. 2 of them were brothers. the fighting continue. the fear now is whether
11:20 am
this attack mean the significant return by the armed group or a one off attempt to replenish its numbers for future front against kurdish forces . i said bake to 0. there's can taliban says it's taken a step towards international recognition. after the 1st day of talks in norway, the government delegation is meeting western officials and civil society groups and also having us to uphold human rights and return for humanitarian aid. the san bon jovi ripples it's day one of the 3 day trip for the afghan delegation led by the foreign minister of though is the 1st place in europe after trips to russia. iran got their china in pakistan. but nor is made it clear that this does not mean legitimacy for the fall on the chance to talk to those who are in charge of our nathan from norway. i'm not good anymore. bombed clear. got him in norway. we have a meeting with the u. s. and also with european union on matters of mutual interest . one part of our meetings would be with our afghan

d. s poor who are outside the country, especially in europe, booked their ideas, consultations and plans will be heard. this means that meetings for mutual understanding will continue between afghans during the closed doors meeting that a local hotel, economic business and political issues are high on the agenda. the rest is looking to use it's leverage of sanctions, frozen of gland money, and humanitarian aid. while the interim government wants money, legitimacy, and removal from band lists, the focus from outside remains in pressing taliban leaders on their promises to deliver women's rights good education and civil liberties. thought about the just trying to move from a fighting force to a governing council. have yet to deliver on a country wide secondary education for girls, but have allowed women to work in hospitals. schools in the airport. they deny arresting them and cracking down and activists while some them and continue to protest and demand their rights. very often, in the absence of that communication,
11:22 am
the international community or different stakeholders keep moving, the goal posts. so in order to make sure that the top one are the words that they're putting out there are aligning with their actions and women and disenfranchised books in general in upon us on our protected. that's going to be a huge outcome if that can come out of or we can start headed in that direction from norway. the harsh winter is yet another screen for most i've gone who have not been paid for months and struggling with a collapsing economy. and the biggest fatalities needed is to keep the population fed and warm agencies worn. a 1000000 of gone children could pay salivation, that's despite the united nations providing money to pay for salaries and importing essentially like wheat and electricity fell upon officials and says this piece and won't let of understand become a security concern. but they say, in order for it to function as a state,
11:23 am
the international community must release $10000000000.00 of money for an abroad to get the economy going in address, humanitarian needs a sub job, aid of the are about 200 people. most africans living enjoy protested and also as the talks began, chanting no to taliban, they demonstrate and said that any move towards official recognition should be resisted. they say the taliban hasn't changed since it was pushed out from power in 2001 always think to folks who feed the former deputy speaker phone. com and she was also involved in negotiations with the telephone. we almost had 3 years, one year in doha to negotiate with taliban in good faith to the future of our country. in the future of more than 36000000 people, including a diversity, a group of women, religious minorities, different social group for the best interests of the country. and you know that unfortunately the taliban did not use the time properly to and efficiently to come
11:24 am
to political settlement. and then as a result of the continued war no, the former president who didn't have a lot of bass in the country. now, my only concern would be that given the turbans record in the last 6 months, and the fact that they do not allow any kind of rights and liberties for women, including my situation, political participation were even recently to have been depressing women protesters, my only concern would be that in a situation where there is a lot of this unity and the 1st steps have not been put a by the political community understand to unite different views or to have a common position on the negotiation thing. but this for this will further, we can our position and for that in a post taliban position. why we know what's happening in up understand how, what is the finish i don't. conclusion is in the vision of power among their own.
