aah! al jazeera with instruction, the 1960 s, the decade of change across the middle east and north africa. in the 2nd of a 3 part series al jazeera whoa explores the explosion of arts and culture. intellectuals were building new dreams and ideas. because the revolutions of the 1961, the political, but of the mine from music to tv, the poetry of protest and revolutionary from making the 60s in the arab world. culture. oh, now jazeera ah a 10 situation unfolding in by root an arm man is taken bank employees hostage, demanding the withdrawal of his own money.

entered the building yet from on this let's head over to zane the hold us. she's live frost from bay route. so how is that hostage situation looking now? well, the situation is still tense. negotiations are ongoing to try to find a peaceful solution or resolution to the stand off which began at 11 am available time some 6 hours ago. the armed men who happens to be a deposit or his name is by sam. i'll share the same. he has $210000.00 in, in his account. he wants his money. the money has been trapped for nearly 3 years now because banks have imposed informal capital controls since the economic crisis began in late 2019 according to his brother as well as relatives. he hasn't, he was pushed to the brink. he did this because he had no other choice. his father is in the hospital, he needs money to pay for the hospital bills. he visited the bank

a few times in recent days and he was treated with no respect. according to his brother. he want the $5000.00, and the bank can give him that money. now, what does he insisted on now? he wants the $210000.00 to be given to him. he's not going to accept anything less, at least this is his position. now what we understand from negotiators is that the banks are offering approximately $30000.00. he's not i have a poem inside this bank. hostages really fast banks, employees as well as citizens. so it's unclear how this found off is going to end up. but it's a very speaking situation because the banks feel if they give in, then it will encourage others to do the same. how is the public responding to these kinds of situations? not the 1st time someone is gone into a bank for compliance last they get their money right. yes,

this is the 2nd time that this has happened. and in the past 3 years, people sympathized with him. they're calling him a hero. they believe that this is, this money is rightfully his. it's rightfully theirs as well, because millions of lebanese have their money, their savings after working for so many years in the banks. they feel that these capital controls are illegal, especially since powerful people. politicians, people who are connected to politicians, even bankers were able to transfer their money outside the country before the economic collapse before the currency crashed. so they believe that the security forces should be going after the politicians and the bankers instead of people like burcham. but at the same time, there are other people are relatives of the employees inside who say that, you know, why are our brothers and sisters involved in the situation they could get killed. this is wrong, this is criminal behavior. but in general, i can tell you that a lot of people have come down here,

chanting slogans against the government. the politicians, the banker saying, it's all your fault. you did not come up with a rescue plan in order for people to get their deposits back because today this faith is nearly bankrupt. the central bank is using the remaining foreign reserves and it's dwindling every single day. and that in fact, is a deposit. there's money, and that is why the bank lend money to the state. the state is now bank and they cannot pay back the hey, blah. then who does that? thanks so much. 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 currency has 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 which politicians have so far resisted. kelly, it is a lebanese economist and banker, he says,

the situation is worse than people think people are saying that the beneath that said that the 100000000000. this is also a lie because center back then think you're a part of the state. the central bank has the whole and we've already discovered it over the last year. i've been warning again broadly about this 20 years that there is the hole in the bank that the governor is using the ross and he is forcing back in to measure that many back is not with to comply with and there in the center back. there's another 100000000000. so the thought the black hole reaches $200000000000.00 out of which people deposit $120000000000.00 of that. and 80000000000. he had to use the system and he's been bring the money in the hood. that's why there is no value in our opinion that the beneath rita is not worth more than the income the paper. so we are talking about 6 and a half 1000000 liberties,

plus about $3000000.00 liberties abroad. plus, i'm mainly serious and all have been looted in the biggest one is given history of united nation. and i've called it that this is almost genocide that should be put into the national criminal court because although you don't but you have back up the whole population was presented in the history of humanity. as a political and israeli military court has extended the detention of a stomach, you had leader by some side the by at least 6 days. israel long swatted cold preemptive strikes on garza targeting the palestinian group. following side is arrest 2 weeks ago. the 2 sides agreed on a truce this week after trading fire for 3 days. 48 palestinians were killed in the attacks. that berain is in ramallah with more. let's not forget that since he was
