4:00 pm
ah, safe going home and then international anti corruption excellence award. bought now for your hero. one year ago the taliban set is the gobble following the withdrawal of foreign forces. 20 years of war ended, but many of vans are still waiting to benefit from the peace that yvonne had not wanted the commission as admitted them at dublin, up one side. the balaban take over one year on another there. ah, this is al jazeera. ah.
4:01 pm
hello, i am sammy's a dan. this is the news, our life from dell ha, coming off in the next 60 minutes. a 10 situation unfolding in beirut, an armed man is taken bank employees hostage, demanding the withdrawal of his own money. and israeli military court extends the detention of his family to have the, the bazaar messiah de, by least 6 days a nationwide curfew in sierra leone. and several people are killed in a wave of violence and protests against the rising cost of living. heavy rains, frigo flooding across sudan, affecting tens of thousands of people. i'm joanna roscoe, at the sports. we had a 1st glimpse of cat on the biggest world cup stadium in action. the 80000 seater la salle stadium will host it 1st official game later, just over a 100 days to go until the main event. ah.
4:02 pm
now an armed man is holding employees hostage at a federal bank in lebanon's capital. he's demanding his own money threatening to burn down the bank. security forces have not entered the building yet all these, all the lies. pictures coming in from beirut, as you can see, plenty of security forces. there. we understand that outside of the bank haven't made a move yet on the bank inside. is that man who's threatening the burnet dow? now this is not the 1st time that somebody has made a move on a bank, demanding money, and threatening violence if he doesn't get his own money. it's believed there's quite a bit of popular support. lot of people are unhappy with banking measures should been imposed restricting people's access to their own money. oh let's get more of this now. we can bring in zayna holder in beirut. you're outside the bank to right
4:03 pm
now saying that, tell us how that stand off is looking now. well, there doesn't look to be an end to this because as we understand, negotiations are continuing to try to convince, but found a thing to lay down his arms and to leave the bag. but he is the man his money. he says his account is worth more than $200000.00. he wants his money. this is rightfully hey and get him to do this was because in the past few days, the recent days he's been visiting the bank demanding money to be able to pay for his father's hospital bill. he has been demanding $5000.00. the bank refused to give him the money and according to his relatives and a brother who are here trying to talk to him, they were very rude. but in fact, his brother, his relatives, his family and a lot of other people believe what he's doing is, is the right thing. the man has been pushed to the brink. he has no other choice.
4:04 pm
he has to pay for his father's hospital bills, and the banks are not giving people their savings. it's been like this for 3 years in formal a capital controls imposed by 11 on the commercial bank have been denying people access to their hard currency accounts. and when you do withdraw some on each, there's a limit to the withdrawal loss. and this is given in the lebanese via the local currency, which has d valued by 90 percent. so it's basically a heritage. so people feel they are the ones who have been paying the price for this economic collapse for the states bankruptcy. but the bank state, if we are not at fault, we lend money to the space to the central bank, which is now bankrupt and cannot give us the money so we cannot give it to the depositors. so a tense situation is demanding his money. what he believes is right for the his what we understand from some sources, the banking association is worried that if they do give him the money if they came in to his demands. but this will encourage others to do the same zayna as you're
4:05 pm
talking to us. we can hear in the background. it sounds like some speech is going on. i'm wondering if some kind of rally popular rally is developing outside the bank. yes, people who have been gathering here for the past 5 hours, many of these people deposit there is people who have money trapped in the banks to reform an elderly man who said that he wants money to be able to send his daughter to school. and that his friends have to send him a laptop in order for her to be able to continue her. her studies that he then started to cry, people are desperate. 80 percent of the population is now poor. people are blaming but the reality. yeah. the government politics, hard holders in the bank,
4:06 pm
not to shareholders politically connected. people are shareholders in the bank. so you have a common interest between politicians and they want to pay the price for the economic, the financial, the depth of the more than $17000000000.00. who is going to be held to account. now people hear about them because of the haircut. the savings are trapped in the bank . what they want toward the politicians were able to transfer their money abroad before capital controls were in place. they say they should be behind bars and not people like say, all right, thanks so much. then i called them from bay route. so little bit on the background, the, this lebanon has been in a deep economic crisis since 2019. the united nations says nearly 80 percent of its people are living in poverty, the lebanese cars,
4:07 pm
who will that last more than 90 percent of its value, devastating for a nation that imports most of its goods. international donors say these conditional on reforms, but politicians have so far resisted reform. hassan and holly, it is 11 easy economist and banker and an expert in emerging markets. he also leads the states retrieval movement and anti corruption group. he joins us via zoom from paris. good to have you with 1st of all, break it down for us in simple terms and explain to view as what exactly is happening to people's money in banks. is it being seized, frozen, or are they just getting limits on how much they can withdraw each month on paper and all the deposits, all of them. and i am proud to say that before united nations, i'm the one who did the new system on the system. 19 like the line. i tried my
4:08 pm
best for the last day to use the warrant that the system would collapse. eventually everybody was joining the drinking party. everybody got toxic however, and people are wondering where the deposit, the deposit are gone. i meant they needed to be 2016. i said the deposit done because the governor was something back was lying to the whole population after the petitions that they are. but it didn't happen or the only people the impact of the center it back reserves of something back. usually money which is generated by operations, the bank, lot people in the system we are as we are all or while you, we are thinking hostage. i mean, so this is the, the, the, you know, demand in the, in the bank. brash was also just now or going on living before we get into that.
4:09 pm
very interesting give me just one second because you mentioned something very interesting that people's reserves work people's deposits. and i guess you mean particularly they're dollar deposit. their foreign currency deposits were considered fond reserves. the numbers show, those foreign reserves have been dwindling over the last couple of years, right? so basically the state took people's money to try and pay service on loans, pay for import of goods and so on and so forth. until that money is run out, that's what's been happening. people are saying the company that, that does a 100000000000. this is also a lie because center back then think you're a part of the state bank has the whole and we've already discovered it over the last year. i've been warning again proudly about this 20 years that there is a hole in the bank that the governor is using the trust and he supports the bank in to measure that many bank is does not was to comply with and there in the center
4:10 pm
bank, there's another $100000000000.00 so that both the black hole reaches $200000000000.00 out of which people deposit on $120000000000.00 of that, and $80000000000.00. he has the system and he's been printing money indefinitely. and that's why there is no value in our opinion. that the benita 0 is not worth more than the income the paper. so we are talking about the whole 6 and a half 1000000 liberties, plus about $3000000.00 liberties abroad. plus some out of mainly serious all have been looted in the biggest problem is came in history of united nation. and i've called it that this is almost genocide that should be put into the national court. because although you don't look deeper, but you have back up the whole population, which is unprecedented in the history of humanity as of political. right. and this
4:11 pm
is going on. this has been conducted by the lead to the society, the political cloth. these people are still empowered because of the support of the people arrive in case that the sec terrorism of fear of the other is still so strong. but people will support the sectarian system of government even if it means that rounding together. you know, if you read, if you need many, many books, then when you run up the system for a long time, the population as did it less, they are in control of legislation. so they just placed an election low which by for re elect the because the election law prevents people like me who i run for election. i cannot accept or a c which is identified by it back, which they forced me to do so. as was and they have they have so much power in the
4:12 pm
system that not less than 1000000 people. 5 are their livelihood is that past one of the politicians ethical guys? escobar was the election in one state as when he was my head. so if you were here, i was and he was never then when you because i think your audio levels drop that you're getting a call can hear ring tone of i ruse. leave a reply from the bank. i said the system 11 is why it must get by, but addition similar to the escobar at school, but also was schools when he died. many people cried that
4:13 pm
however lebanon is that both really beta stayed and lebanon condition, unless we got some sort of pattern abroad, plus in big money block, plus at a mall. but i, felicia, of the current petition problem running because it does not through the people chose to keep them in power. they are writing the system in a market. this is no c. could you as president the macro? you will ask you as the 2nd united nations been asked, the question is, why can anyone do anything about it? is again, we are able by coalition of bad who are willing to liquidate anyone who says their way. it does not actually the number one priority of the, unless you set them to come out, because governance is not the priority to me by monday,
4:14 pm
i'm but the level and lebanon is no longer in the community. the only prior to that level and imposes on the part of this is security between 11 on the border plus the new discovery of gas. and that's why we see now a, an uprising from europe by the united states and the gas 11. this is where i thing is the testing board building and you 11 and one way or the other all the thought that i said die warning, but thank you so much for your analysis on what's going on there. you are most like and israeli military court has extended the detention novice planning to have the, the best time aside the by at least 6 days. israel launch for a cold preemptive strikes on garza targeting the palestinian group. following sandy's arrest 2 weeks ago. the 2 sides agreed on a truce this week. concentrating fire for 3 days for the palestinians were killed
4:15 pm
in the attacks that you've raheem is live for us in ramallah service extension of detention. how much of a threat is that to the seas fire while islamic jihad has said that it was clear that one of its demands is the release of its senior leader of a samus sadie. we've been talking to analysts who believe that it's on likely that the slamming jihad is going to be heading towards an escalation, specifically given the power dynamics. given that the fact that garza has been seriously affected by the lead this that time also given by the fact that hamas did not join islamic jihad in fighting rockets towards israel. so we also know that israel never explicitly said that it agreed to the islamic jihad demands of releasing by sam sadie, as well as a hunger striking palestinian prisoner as well. his name is kelly loudon,
4:16 pm
what israel has a reportedly agreed to via the egyptian mediators. is to have a dialogue that could eventually lead to that release. so it's been seeing a scene here as a way of showing fours that israel has the upper hand and out. but we are at the same time expecting a potential release of saline out a. he is a destiny in his ready jails. he's been detained without charges and he's been protesting that detention for more than $150.00 days. there was a slight period of time at during the end of august when he was promised that the, his detention wouldn't be a renewed, he stopped his anger strike. then again, israel renewed the, his administrative detention, which is detention without charges leading him to renew his hunger strike. now, many say that he's the fact that is really media is focusing a lot on his health situation. the fact that he is in danger could be a thein,
4:17 pm
that he could be released anytime soon. all right, thanks so much linda abraham her. now in the streets of garza, people are still picking up the pieces of apartment blocks attacks by israeli forces. many having to rebuild their lives yet again, because the facial name explains the phones rang in this garza neighbourhood saturday morning with warnings from israeli intelligence to evacuate in what people say felt like only moments. 6 apartment buildings were destroyed or damaged about it and haul finley fair. my 4 year old son wakes up when he has any sound thinking, its an astride, and he clings to me. it makes me frustrated because my children are scared. my life has become miserable and it is nothing left in our hands, the man malick shem. alec says she can't even dig out a shirt from the rubble for her 2 young son. the family is homeless,
4:18 pm
but will have to find money to pay the mortgage on the apartment and find a new place to live. since 2008, there have been 5 wars or attacks in the gaza strip. the longest was in 2014 and lasted 51 days. after the war, dozens of countries met and planned to raise $5000000000.00 to rebuild garza but not even half. that money was actually donated. the biggest donors katara gave more than a $1000000000.00 in aid. saudi arabia, half a $1000000000.00. the united states, the united arab emirates, and kuwait each gave $200000000.00. these photo showed the before and after of some reconstruction projects. ah, after last year's israeli airstrikes, cutter and egypt committed a $1000000000.00 total. to help garza rebuild again, but with no time frame gases,
4:19 pm
ministry of public works and housing says it needs millions of dollars. now, to provide housing for $2200.00 families, will you feel the as little as putting some obstacles and the way of the donors that the $130.00 construction forces to be slow over the years, even once reliable arab allies have stopped offering funding. and with many humanitarian crises, globally, donor fatigue has set in israel, ester occupying power, to have a real responsibility to, to, to, to, to take care of the situation there. but in the long term, long, you know, full for china. and also for the huge majority of the international community. what concerns oz is not week, not simply look at this vis civic, no situation, you know, pissed piecemeal to way some in the international community may continue to spend
4:20 pm
billions of dollars. rebuilding garza after each war or attack, but palestinians wonder when the world will see that it's more prudent to invest in peace. natasha her name al jazeera, gaza. that's a big now to a man. trouble. see. she's a spokeswoman for the international committee of the red cross and joins us on skype from beirut. good. have you with us, you know, with these repeated cycles of israeli attacks on garza, are you getting the chance? is anyone getting the chance to really conduct a reconstruction efforts? thank you for having me. so one of the most the, the main challenge is that the impact on the people that through each escalation is not communicating with time. so when you around are fighting, there are left worse off likelihood than homes are ruined, but also vital infrastructure is federalized even further. so each year round the vine at creating a new trauma and the lang even further,
4:21 pm
the process of beginning they could reconstruction and rebuilding looks like one of the other main challenges for the humanitarian actors, such as the jersey and other actors who are actually active and in gaza is that every new round of violence is adding more urgent needs, which makes it almost impossible sometimes to look a little bit further and makes it more complicated to also assess long term needs as well. so a humanitarian needs might be part of distribution in order to to prevent a tool to collapse of systems of services. but it remains one of the, of the things that could be provided. but the main solution would remain and still the political steps that needs to be conducted and needs to be intensified in order to show and to halt these endless cycle of violence and the humanitarian crisis emerging and being at deeper because because of it, as you were talking there,
4:22 pm
we were running pictures of the scenes of destruction. you know, the apartment blocks parts of garzo just looked like they completely level to the ground. you know, plenty of rubble. it's, it's, i mean, when you look at a picture like that is quite obvious what the reconstruction need is there. but i'm also wondering about some of the critical infrastructure, what the situation is with electricity with water with sewage. talked us a little bit about how the critical infrastructure is being slowly degraded. so in gather, the recent escalation comes in the backdrop of endless escalation. let me take the example of the most recent plan, which is the 11 days of installation that happened may last year. so it was announced back to them that the damage caused just 11 days. we'll take years to revolt. so people not only have lost homes and businesses,
4:23 pm
but also the damage have damage vital interest infrastructure such as road. it was reported back then that people were not able to act the hospital because of the damage goes through to road and estimate the 700000 people were effected by the damage to electricity infrastructure and water shortages. now the recent installation, although it's less intense in terms of magnitude, than in terms of my, of, of, of, of damage. but it as another layer, in terms of the needs of the population and the slightest damage. because cars, because of that will just add another burden of the population who are already trying to cope with the damage caused by the previous rounds of violence. the issue and got all the systems. i mean there isn't an issue with electricity for sure. 45 percent only of the needs of electricity and within got the 3 trip are being met. but the electricity is not to be on be reliable service and got that there are also issues with water supply with water treatment and health services as well. for
4:24 pm
instance, the health services have been struggling since the beginning of the pandemic of over 19. and it's been under a huge training since. so all additional needs an urgent needs are almost impossible to fulfill the main challenges in terms of access to basic services. and that is that all the systems are interconnected. when one fails, the others can fail to, especially during rounds of violence. for example, what the treatment depends on electricity. if there is no power, dirty water, it isn't properly treated and is pumped directly into the c, which is generating a further public health and environment issue. so electricity is the top of the ibex, but the interconnection of the systems make this interconnectivity more trying to make, to cause a system breakdown. and therefore, there is a need today to look into sustainable solutions and long term solution. this can be
4:25 pm
impart, provided by the aid workers and the 8 the international humanitarian actors. but the root of the issue remains a band of the political actors. and therefore, political solution i need need to be since you've raised the, you know, the political issues won't go into the politics. you are an aid work obviously, but maybe explained to view as the difficulties because it is an area under occupation and on the siege if you want to get material to rebuild. if you want to get medical supplies, the store comp hospitals, or if you just simply want to get a patient out because the medical care is not available there, that is not easy and straightforward because it is an area on the siege and occupation, right? well it's, it's definitely part of the challenge is faith and within the let's let's, let's take the example. since you mentioned electricity, for instance, during the 3 dates of installation, the recent 3 days of installation,
4:26 pm
the power plants and got reduced its activity to 50 percent only. and it was already struggling to provide 24 hours electricity. and most of the population were in normal times relying on only 12, a maximum of 12 hours electricity a day. during the escalation, people were left off with 2 to 3 hours a day of electricity. so we can only imagine how that would affect health structures as well. so yes, part of the issue and that issue was cause that in particular because of the fact that fuel was not, it was not possible to, to channel fuel inside. got that due to to do it, to the security situation. so one of the, of the issue is that, yes, there are additional challenges caused by the situation of that, but less admitted that humanitarian aid is now preventing because of the essential services in gaza. but it's not a sustainable solution. only political steps can haul the cycle of violence and the
4:27 pm
humanitarian crisis to accompany them. let me just point out that already 70 percent of the population and got a reliance on some form of humanitarian. today the population are tired of full of resilience because that word implies the fact that there's a lack of options for people for to repeatedly cope with what they're left with. ok, thank you so much, man. trouble. see therefore, explaining that to us at least $750.00 inmates of escape during an attack on a prison in eastern democratic republic of congo, 2 police officers were killed. it's believed the arm group carried out the re than the city of tambo was trying to rescue some of its members and recruit nuance. les harding explains early on wednesday morning, prisoners in this jail were startled by the sound of heavy gunfire and snapping

4:38 pm
not be any assistance given to them, especially because it's been 2 days now. and many of them are you to see any form of government assistance being handed out to them. many of them say they want to remain here until the end of the room is he's in to be able to rebuild their homes . but that may take some time because they're maureen's forecast in the coming days . but there's also concern about the outbreak of waterborne diseases. most of the home still have stagnant water and they are still maureen's expected to come. there's been damages done to the sewage system in the drainage system here. so they are concerned that there will be our break of diseases, especially because the residence of these villages along the mouse that the only source of clean water they have right now is the river because of the, the, the sewage water mixing with the waters that they have here, so they are concerned that the worst is not yet over for many people here in many families saying that they don't want to see things getting worse. but they're afraid that with more rings forecast and after losing so much, they may be, are facing difficulties in the coming days. an influential taliban cleric has been killed in a suicide attack enough. can the stan witnesses say
4:39 pm
a disabled man approach saw him a law connie in the seminary and cobble event, detonated explosives, hidden in his prosperity, clag binge of aid. his life for us in the afghan capital told us a little bit about the significance of the man who was targeted. here. ramos connie is somebody who was well respected and loved by taliban fighters as well as they needed somebody who would come under attack at least twice before, enabling bucks on as well. and a few years ago here in have gone to son, he's the somebody who was seen as very vocal again. i some somebody who was passing decrees islamic decrees to urge taliban flight just to go after ice and calling them plotted your against the tenants of the land. that the other one i believe. and so it is considered to be somebody, a big loss for at least the, the logical side of sol, yvonne because he was not just well respected. but also he was very read in had
4:40 pm
these and other aspects of religion and was considered to some to be somebody who could rally his troops. because there are some divisions between about rank. he was somebody who was seen as a united force, as he said, a suicide bomber approached him with a report to leave prosthetics his expose his head and in the prosthetics. and he exploded himself. his brother has also been injured and the taliban have increased security here in the capital. it is worth noting that these attacks after the killing of eminence, why he have become red and security especially be around leading key figures of the taliban has been, be felt. is this being interpreted as another sign of a of a resurgence by isom when it does bear all the hallmarks of an attack by isolate, although no group has claimed responsibility yet,
4:41 pm
