pets in, in late 2019 lebanon's commercial banks, imposed illegal if you like. because there was no loss of capital controls and it's very difficult to withdraw your money. you don't have access to hard currency and when you do withdraw money, let's say the local currency is much less than the rate on the black markets. so people deposits really have significantly loss value. now, according to the family and to his relatives. and his friends here is a desperate he needs money to be able to pay for his father's hospitalization. and that you visited the bank several times. this week he asked for $5000.00 and they refused to give it to him. it's not just that people have told us that the bank employees were rude to him and they treated him with no respect. there is a loss of anger here because people really have lost their life, their life savings, but stuff right now and situation negotiations, continuing with their fear people at least fear that the security forces may try

for the certainly if we're hearing dancing, obviously large crowds gather dead santa, what's the public sentimentality for all this? he generating any sympathy. 5 4 yes, all these people here are really sympathizing with them. they believe that his predicament is their predicament because millions of lebanese really have lost their life savings. they're telling him not to get bob not to, to keep on demanding for the, for the $210000.00 that is in the bank account. what we understand is that the banks are ready to find a settlement that would involve paying some $30000.00 so that he would lay down his arm. so people are supporting saying that the security forces do attempt to storm the bank. they too will, i will follow them. so there, there is public sympathy. and earlier we spoke to the head of the depositors union who really, really explained the frustration among, among the public. i'm for deli,

bernice people. and for the deposit there's, this is this money 0. this vision for them is ready. good order economy for country . this is beth. this is ready, but we said many times before. if you didn't put it all up for that crisis, we're going to go here. go to court. sorry. oh for furthermore to little there's maybe maybe we was the blood in the band. that's what we don't want. we're not asking for this. we are asking for it, old mob. that saves my money. that saves my right. what is my, you know, what is my money? i worked many, many, many, many years over there, but he's people, they work, but all their work and really bad economy. they saved their money, they put them in the bank, legal. they are not with us. the politics is not with us, the bank is not with the judiciary on. i gave us this summer and he has the os

family. he's for him. you spoke to his father is in the hospital, the bank is giving him a 1000000 barrels, which means that the under dollars, wiley is paying for a month. i hope you survived. how can you say he went to the wants of the judge? you didn't think it went through politics. you didn't think is right. he went to the bank, you sent it to the bank many times the bank didn't nothing. he did what he's doing, you know, clearly very tense and frustrating situation there. and dana, this isn't the 1st time this has happened in lebanon. he says, no, a few months ago, a depository as well, storm the bank arm, demanded his money. he did get the $50000.00, but he was later in prison. but a few months later he was released. people are angry if you talk to anybody here, they tell you their stories. i can't paper the hospital because i cannot buy medicine for my brother. i need the my money, which is trapped in the bank. so really,

the economic crisis has impoverished the population, 80 percent of the population. the local currency has crashed. it has the value of the staple is collapsing the states, the services. there is a breakdown of states services, no electricity. so if you don't have money to pay for private generators, then you live without electricity. and you know, all this is happening at a time when the politicians are doing nothing to reverse the economic collapse. they were supposed to carry out reforms in order to be to be ab unable to get an i m f. b allows package. they are desperate for $4.00. instead of using the remaining foreign reserves of the central bank. you can hear people say give him his money. this is his money. give him his money. so a lot of public sympathy here. it's not clear how this found off is going to end. but as far as we know, there is an attempt to find some sort of peaceful resolution and zine. it certainly sounds him there. and when hearing, as you mentioned that people may be trying to install the bank at some stage. so

we'll push back to ethan. when that happens, thank you very much. stand live for us. they, i guess let's take a closer look now at lebanon, how it's been in a deep economic crisis since 2019. the united nation says nearly 80 percent of its people are living in poverty. the lebanese currency has lost more than 90 percent of its value. devastating for nation that imports most of its goods. international donors say aid is conditional on reforms which politicians have so far resisted. let's bring in right yet who are a who served as lebanon's, economy minister from 2016 until 2019. he joins us now from beirut. thanks so much for being on the program. right. you're the formal lebanese economy minister. so what's happening to people's money then? yes. ok. what's going on and lebanon is really frustrating. this gentleman owes the asking for his money is he's talking to, right. it's his savings and the right to take his money. however, i mean,

the dealing is dealing with the situation is not the correct one cuz he's attacking the wrong the wrong side of the off the situation. i mean, banks and banks and employees are also victims of the government, corruption, lack of decisions and mismanagement over the last 30 years. or you know, that the government has defaulted on it that are also the government took the money from the central bank by laws, and they did not return it back to the channel whereby they took, the deposit is money. so they are, they said they so the central bank has used deposit is money that being every day lebanese people, their money, it took it and used it as federal reserve. yes. did the central

bank, but you are backed by the force of the politicians who are mainly took the money to subsidize certain products to subsidize the over to recruitment and the public sector to subsidize the fixing of exchange rate over the last 30 years. that created an artificial purchasing power for the people who are we're asking for foreign reserve. and the only thing they have been doing is depleting the quantity from the people's deposit through the center of bank and down to the their banks. so this or over the years, the government has mismanaged the money of the people and i totally understand the anger of the people. and however, these people should go, or you know, protest against the government and against all really met in their money and who

really spend their money. so who is going to be held accountable for these tens of billions of dollars of debt? because right now, and according to our correspondent, the lebanese people feel like they're the ones who are, we're shouldering the responsibility. no, not at all. do you been these people are victims or all the governments and the parliament's sex is that succeeded over the last 30 years. they are responsible for to the, for the situation and even after the collapse in october into 2019, they continued to evaporate the reserve at the central bank. they were, there were more than 30000000000 left, which is relatively, is a big number. they use this money for subsidies and for smuggling and whatever. so they did, the government did not do any capital control. i mean the parliament which should

be have done the 1st day of, of the strike or. busy that happened in lebanon next door, but the government did not negotiate with the bond holders. the government did not negotiate with the i am out on the government is totally responsible for the mismanagement before the crisis and after and during the crisis. so unfortunately, what's happening is that a government under parliament should take responsibility and act immediate need to make the reforms that already have been used. people are opting to. yes. if only it was that simple, we appreciate your analysis, right? hoary served as a lebanon's economy minister. we appreciate your time. thank you. moving on now and in israeli military court has extended the detention of islamic jihad later by some sadie, by at least 6 days. israel launched what it called preemptive strikes on garza

targeting the palestinian group. the following saturdays arrest. 2 weeks ago. the 2 sides agreed on a truce this week after trading fire for 3 days. 48 palestinians were killed in those attacks. neither abraham is in ramallah with move. why is lemay she had, has said that it was clear that one of its demands is that release of its senior leader by the we've been talking to analysts who believe that it's on likely that the slumming you had is going to be having to with an escalation, specifically, given the power dynamics given that the facts as gaza husband seriously affected by the latest attack, also given by the fact that i'm acid, not joined slumming to have in fighting rockets towards israel. so we also know that israel never explicitly said that it agreed to make the high demand of releasing saudi, as well as

a hunger striking palestinian prisoner as well. his name is wow, the, what israel has to be agree to via the egyptian mediators, is to have a dialogue that could eventually lead to their release. so it's been seeing him here as a way of showing forth that israel has the upper hand. ok, let's bring in john home and now who's live in west jerusalem? he's outside a hospital where a palestinian prisoner has been on a hunger strike for more than 160 days is being treated. john, we just heard from native in about a man called a waday. explain who he is and what more we know about his condition. it will help a while they is the other key part of this. you've been speaking a little bit there about the other key figuring all of this, which is by somehow se now islamic jihad,

when it cool for when he agreed the sci fi with those right. that demands were the 2 among the demands were, the 2 palestinian prisoners were to be freed the 1st them, but somehow saw the we've already talked about him. the 2nd of them is the man in the hospital behind us helene, a while the now he, as you say, it's been on the hunger strike for about a 150 days. we just spoke with a doctor that went into examining him the chairperson for decisions for human rights in his row. she basically said that he's very weak at the moment that he is at the possibility of slipping into a coma and not coming out of it. that he is any, anything he's not getting any bits amends. she also said that when she went in see them, they was actually handcuffed to the bed. i think, as you can imagine, this demand is not really in danger of going anywhere. he's still struggling to, to speak at this moment, that he hasn't got his family close to him at the moment as well. we also spoke to his lawyer just outside the hospital, reiterated the same. so the thing and said that they would try and legally to get

to the point where as we understood it, he's in a special state where is no longer being kept as a prisoner, but instead being kept as someone that's invalid. so someone that's hospitalized. so we have to see how that goes, but the significance of a little a while the eyes but a but somehow saw the is that there are release has been called for by islamic jihad is part of the conditions for the cease fire has been demanded. israel has said that it, it didn't agree to that, that all it has done is said that it will facilitate a dialogue. in these cases, these 2 men, i suppose the question that everyone's asking is that if these 2 men are free, what impact is that going to have on a seas? father still in early days, and it's still quite a fragile at the moment. john, we appreciate you bringing us up to spain. thank you very much, john. home in line for us then plenty. morehead on this new south, including africa's largest dam in ethiopia, starts generating power,

but find out why this is likely to fuel tension. but downstream countries will have a report from afghanistan where an info windshield taliban figure has been killed. and in sport, serena williams steps on to court for the 1st match of her farewell to details. coming up with flora. ah, satellite images have been released to showing the aftermath of explosions at a russian air base in crimea. it appears at least 8 russian war planes were destroyed at the sucky air base on. on tuesday. moscow says there was an accidental detonation of stored ammunition. ukrainian officials say this was either the result of sabotaged by infiltrators or russian incompetence to sierra leone now, which has imposed

a nationwide curfew in response to violent anti government protest that killed several people. including members of the security forces, it happened in the capital free town and other cities because of anger and frustration at the rising cost of living. ali hashem explains anger. frustration spills to the streets. protest as in freetown and other cyril unit cities wanted their voices heard. we do not have freedom of speech is no respect for us. the women in our economy is down, down, down, and the cost of living is very high. because of it we are suffering. oh, it didn't and well, several people were killed including members of the security forces. when demonstrators and the police clashed, it revived images from the countries bloody civil war. in the ninety's. the president treated saying, as a government, we have the responsibility to protect every citizen of sierra leone. what happened

today was unfortunate and will be fully investigated. i urge all sierra leonean to be calm. oh, the government also impose the nation wide curfew. goblins, real pharmacy police, meant to maintain law and order a goody protecting the fundamental arrive of the general body. while it's unknown, whether the wave of protests will continue, the united nations expressed serious concerns over the violence. so did the u. s. while france urged its citizens not to travel to sierra leone alhashan al jazeera, at least $750.00 inmates have escaped during an attack on a prison in east and democratic republic of congo. 2 police officers were killed, the armed group that carried out the raid is believed have been trying to rescue some of its members and recruit new ones. lea,

a hiding has more early on wednesday morning, prisoners in this jail were startled by the sound of heavy gunfire. and snapping metal. not about of railway by no bullish rung out whilst we were forced to sleep. suddenly we woke up the silence. had a cheering soule with which they tore off the padlocks. members of an armed ugandan group known as allied democratic forces, or adf, fighting their way into this prison, to free hundreds of inmates. ha, inside we were about 900 detainees. but about 30 of us remain. adf has pledged allegiance to isolate, and has been blamed for thousands of deaths and eastern congo and neighboring uganda. many of their members have been arrested, kept in this jail. linny said that she did it. they came from their main headquarters in the forest to conduct the attack with the objective of recruiting by force, new members newton and to release some of their own people arrested in his jail.

but not every one wanted to be freed. unwilling to live a life on the run, doing mobile gun go off on one of them, i did not flee because it is now want to take advantage and flee in disorder. i'm waiting for the liberation that god will send me. my hope is that one day i will leave here legally, with all my documents to the army, have started their search for the escapees. coming through a vast mountainous country in a region that has seen decades of fighting. leah harding al jazeera, going to return to buy right now, and now top story, we're an armed man is holding employees hostage at a bank that is cross live. now tis dana hata with the latest develop, st. what's happening on the ground while a peaceful end to this, nearly 7 hours found off, but some hot sun has decided to lay down his arms. we saw the police escort him outside the building, the bank, where he held hostage

a number of bank employees as well. as customers this started at 11 am, they will time. time is not just an arm man. he is also a deposit. he has money in the, in the bank. and what we understand is that for the past few days, he's been trying to access $5000.00 in order to pay for his father's hospital bill . the bank refused to give him the money because the informal capital control have been in place since the economy started to collapse in late 2019. he was disgruntled and greet desperate. he returned today arms and with fuel. he actually poured fuel in the building, threatening to establish, meant on fire. what we understand is that it is a negotiated settlement. if you like, he was demanding the $210000.00 us dollars that was in his account at 1st, the bank was ready to give him $10000.00. then they raised this to $30000.00. but

we understand that he might have been given a little more money. so a peaceful resolution to the found off, but definitely an example of the crisis in the country of unprecedented economic crisis where people are struggling to make ends meet. those who have money and bank aren't able to access that money and the others are unable to find jobs because the economy is shrinking at a time when the political elite is doing nothing to lead the economy to recovery. they know, obviously a huge crowd behind you. this man had gone and a lot of support and very obviously very angry lebanese people who want and money out of these banks. yes, they believe that they have been paying the price for the financial crisis. the country, the state is nearly bankrupt, the banks were lending money to the state,

and there has been mismanagement, corruption for decades, the state was unable to get the money back to the banks. and so the banks and post capital controls. but they are being accused of allowing politicians and politically connected people to transfer billions of dollars abroad when they, when you know, ordinary citizens were not allowed to access their money. there's a lot of anger, politicians in one way or another are connected to the banking system. their shareholders and banks, even the caretaker, prime minister, is a shareholder in one of the largest banks in lebanon. so they have been protecting their interests at the expense of the people. there is a $70000000000.00 financial pool who is going to pay the price for this so far. it has been the people because every time they would draw some money from the banks, they would draw with other significance at a much lower rate than the power low market rate. and the local currency is what i mean. and the local currency also has the value by 90 percent. then i want to pick

up on something that you said a little earlier, which is sort of the balancing act that the authorities had to navigate. they were concerned that if they gave these individual, he's funds his own funds, that that would then set a precedent. so how do you think the authorities are going to navigate this one now, now that it's ended peacefully who they gave him, he's, he's on money. well this is not the 1st time this has happened a few months ago, a deposit or an armed deposits or demand that this money he was given the 50000, but then he spent time in prison later 50 $1000.00. and then later released banks really have the, you know, if you walk now and you see the bank, there is metal barricades, concrete slab. there's a division, if you like, between the citizens and banks. people do not trust the banking sector. people have found allies banks in the past, most likely what we may see is the bank declaring an open ended strike. and this of

course, will put more pressure on the people. they will not be able to access whatever limited amount of money they can access. it will also make it harder for people to get their salaries, because especially the public sector. they get their salaries from banks. so the bank to have been, you know, pressuring have pressure tactics as well, especially when the judiciary filed legal cases against banks. this is how they react. so the show down will only continue between the financial political elite and the people. but the people have not been able to change much. they have taken to the streets for the past few years, only to be met by a militarized states, if you like, until the political class decides to reform pass laws agree on a comprehensive recovery plan. then much needed international assistance, hard currency because this is a dollar stop country won't flow in. yes, certainly not the end of the story, but we appreciate that update and just reiterating that the hosp to the man holding

that the man to the shot gun holding stuff hostage at a bank has surrendered. these are the light, his pictures of him being walked out of the banking. what appears to be a pace full negotiation. right. still ahead on al jazeera place in brazil and cover $140000000.00 scam targeting the widow of a famous odd collect up. and a little lighter ins for these big heaters smashes yet another home run to the base ho coming up on the base of electron rather coming up with far ah, you're locked into your world's weather update for the americas. hi there. thanks for joining in. so storms have squashed the heat away from that east coast stuff.

withdraw his own money and threatening to burn the building down. lebanon has imposed restrictions on how much money people can withdraw. sierra leone has imposed a nationwide curfew in response to anti government protests. official say, several people have been killed, including security personnel. protest is, are angry about the rising cost of living. and, and his riley military court has extended the detention of islamic jihad later by some sati by at least 6 days last week. israel launch what it called preemptive strikes on gaza targeting the palestinian group, following saudis arrest and in the straits of gaza. paperless to picking up the pieces of bomb department blocks off to those 3 days of fighting, many a having to rebuild their lives yet again. as natasha name ripple, the phones rang in this gaza 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 for live for my 4 year old son wakes up when he has any sound thinking. it's an asteroid, and he clings to me. it makes me frustrated because my children are scared. my life has become miserable and it has nothing left in our hands. come on, o'malley shem. alec says she can't even dig out a shirt from the rubble for her 2 young son. the family is homeless, but we'll 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. after last years israeli air strikes, cutter and egypt committed a $1000000000.00 total. to help garza rebuild again, but with no time frame garza's, ministry of public works and housing says it needs millions of dollars. now, to provide housing for 2200 families, will you feel the as little as putting some obstacles and the way of the donors as the 130 construction process to be slow. over the years even wants reliable air of

allies have stopped offering funding. and with many humanitarian crises, globally, donor fatigue has set in israel, ester, occupying power, to have a re, i 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 us, it's not, we can not simply still had the specific and situation in the piece piecemeal to weigh salmon. the international community may continue to spend billions of dollars rebuilding gaza after each war or attack. but palestinians wonder when the world will see that it's more prudent to invest in peace. natasha name al jazeera, gaza. for more on this, let's bring in sultan barrack hat, who is a professor in conflict and humanitarian studies at hum on been calais for university in doha. he's also the co author of rebuilding garza. he joins us from

york in the u. k. sell time. thanks so much for being on this news. our firstly how difficult is it to assess the current level of destruction, particularly given the variable nature of the situation. it's relatively easy to establish what has been damaged in the last rounds of attacks loudly because of the presence of the un in the form of united nation, but even work agency or underwater on the ground in gaza. the difficulty is not to finding out what has been damaged but actually rebuilding it. and as you saw from your report earlier, we still having to deal with cumulative damage that goes back as far as 2014. and in some cases, as far as 2009, a lot of the war damage that have been particular 2014, which was absolutely devastating. more when more than 2000 and punished unions killed and 100 fathers displays has yet to be rebuilt. and it's not just about

availability of resources. some countries particularly say, are egypt even that you have been generous and trying to support the reconstruction . but the mere fact that these triggers to under, under occupation and total control of israel makes it almost impossible to implement in which you can recover what has be lost. thinking of that, what are the logistical impacts given that it's an area currently under israeli occupation? well, gas is under occupation. well, weather israel admitted to it or not israel. a public position is that they have actually unilaterally withdrawn their forces from gaza back in 2005. but the fact that they continue to control garza and they have the power to seizure by hair from air, land,

and sea. and also they have the capacity and the capability to re occupy its relatively short time means that the under international law is still under occupation. and as you heard from your chinese diploma, this means that israel has the responsibility to protect the population and to cater for its basic needs. which of course it does not do it. it does the opposite that keeps on adding to the injury of the palestinians in garza and i were talking about 2000000 people industry and the 1st year when, when the 1st war happened in 2008 to them, i'm newer about 1250000 so the population is growing up, the level of poverty is going up. the level of desperation is up. as long as they keep a strong hold on the supplies they don't and our supplies to come in. sharing that the supplies may be used to weaponized their movements like thomas and as you had. and of course,

you cannot construct anything without having access tools to you. simon. concrete. plastic lives are all sorts of necessary elements that going to construction that are not allowed into the gaza strip by israel. and this is the most important factor that slows at the reconstruction. i want to pick up on the title of your work, which is the need for radical shift in reconstruction strategy. so you talk about all these issues and all these problems. what is that radical shift that's needed to help with this way construction if it well, the number of issues, the 1st one is got to do with the level of recognition the international community gives to hamas versus the posting and administration. at the moment everyone is working with posting and ministration, while the defacto ruler and the authority, if you like on the ground, is hamas. so by pretending the time as does not exist, it doesn't help. so you're not able to progress the reconstruction plans any

further. also, there is no real ownership broken ownership for the reconstruction garza, it is true that the donors i'd be, i'd be relatively generous, at least in terms of commitments, although they haven't been given the opportunity to spend and implement as much as they've committed. but it is still very much driven by the outsiders. and in fact, the role of the you and also needs to be revisited. since 2014, the u. n. has been implicated in what is referred to as the reconstruction mechanism or guys that a construction mechanism in that they are monitoring the material coming in on behalf of and by doing so, they kind of give an added that to see to this reaction and find it i think it is time that the palestinians enjoy what everybody else does around the world in terms

of their right to be protected. that is the right to do that is understood, accepted internationally. it is what provoked action in. ready it is what people are calling for. now, when you create, when you have a civilian population under such miserable conditions and the international group has got to intervene. and obviously, no one is good to do anything as long as israel and united states and one on one side supporting each other. but the minimum that can be done, i think, is to introduce international forces to at least monitor what comes in and out of gaza, so that they can facilitate the construction. and i assure that is really that this material is not being used to manufacture weapons by the same time it is helping the civilians rebuilding their lives. well, we really appreciate your analysis on this and certainly plenty of moving part sell time to barracka, a professor in conflict and humanitarian studies. thank you very much for your time . thank you. moving on now in ethiopia says it's
