8:08 pm
forces party. a christine group has made huge gains. several anti establishment candidates also picked up seats and the 1st election since the economic crisis, and the bay route port explosion. well, here's a closer look at lebanon's complex political system. it's a power sharing structure based on the 1989 tie for court, which ended the civil war. it's parliament has 128 seats divided between muslims and christians. the president must be a christian, the prime minister, a sunni, muslin, and the speaker has to be a sheer, muslin and alliances are often formed in order to create a majority. iranian backed, has bhalla at its allies, dominates the current parliament, al jazeera zeta hud or reports. now from beirut. there was disappointment, especially with the voter turnout. people were saying that we're not going to witness any change. we need a new leadership that is capable and willing to carry out,
8:09 pm
performs to fight corruption in order for lebanon to, to be able to game at, to get to an i am for bail our package. this country is dollar hungry, it's the, it's billions of dollars in order for the economy to recover this morning when preliminary results started to come in. there was some enthusiasm that even though this change is not significant, it is the beginning that lebanon is now on the path to recovery. but at the end of the day, this is a parliamentary democracy. but the reality is, it's consensual. democracy. if none of the communities work together, if one community feels that they are marginalized, sets out or under attack by the others, then there will be no national unity and there will be no peace. and this country has seen a civil war. it has seen bouts of violence ever since. so if these different political forces don't come together and work together, then we're not going to see political stability. and of course, economic stability. so people are concerned the exchange rate to the dollar increase today. it's $28000.00 lire to the dollar. the official rate is $1500.00 to
8:10 pm
the dollar. there's inflation. this was a middle income country. now the majority of the population is poor. people want to wait to see if this new parliament is serious about carrying out reforms and fighting corruption. but at the end of the day, that's going to be difficult because if those in power do that, they lose control of state resources and resources that they have been exploiting for decades. the soldiers defending ukraine, the 2nd largest city hawk, he'd say that they've reached the border with rush up, the defense ministry shed a video of celebrations at a border markup. however, the video hasn't been independently verified how keith was being show daily by russian artillery a months ago, but ukrainian forces of regain terror rates in the north east. since european union foreign ministers are still trying to reach an agreement on russian oil embargo. but as they negotiate a new round of sanctions, the 6th since the war in ukraine began, one

8:12 pm
help help us find their consent. the e hi, representative for foreign policy has been meeting candidates for a minister. when i interviewed him last week, he was confident the new sanctions could be agreed with, but he doesn't seem so hopeful. now, we'll do our best in order to de blocked this situation. i cannot ensure that these are going to have him because it positions are quite strong. later the ukrainian foreign minister demitra caliber joined the meeting. he greeted his hungarian counterpart, peter c, otto. but had some tough words about his country's position. it's clear what's happening. it's clear who is holding the issue, but the time is running out because every day russia keeps making money and investing this money in it to into the war. but it's not for me to engage in a restore it better with gary and we can get an authorities. this is the issue that
8:13 pm

8:14 pm
own weapons program. well, 1st of all, and regrettably turkey a says, seemingly trying to increase the price for aligning with the rest of the allies. and this is altogether not a very encouraging and positive sign of principle and 19 to russia as well as 2 other countries watching us very closely. i assume that at the end of the day, the turks will align with the consensus in order to welcome sweden and finland is new members. but in the meantime, we will try to bob and negotiate in order to get some return. the turks are very eager to get support from our american allies in order to upgrade their age and 16 at fleet. and the air force has the 8th and they have been bragging all along in order to be able to get the necessary military equipment from
8:15 pm
washington. so that would certainly something that and one eyes. and secondly, i think he would also, i probably some rural gestures, not through nato, but from western partners in general. and on to east down economic pains that turkey is certainly under going these days. and finally, i think i want to around has to be not to is very much geared towards his domestic audience isn't the picture to those voters nationalists just that he wants to point way in terms of mentioning out the p k. k, still to come on al jazeera roland cars. fuel crisis goes from bad to worse with a good morning from its new prime minister. and was cove at 19 infection store in north korea will hear who's being critical of the countries response
