they worked until about his economy. they saved the money, they put them in the bank, the legal, they are not with us. the politics is not with us. the banks does not look outside his relatives, friends and depositors gathered to show support to a man they say has been driven to the brink and had no other choice witness to say . the armed men visited the bank several times in recent days, demanding $5000.00 from his account to pay for his father's hospital bill. the bank refused to give him the money i. banks imposed limits on withdrawals in dollars and withdrawals in the local currency. are at the rate far below the market price. a significant cut in the original value of deposits. thursday, stand off is not the 1st of its kind. in january a depositor withdrew $50000.00 from his account. after holding bank staff hostage, he spent a few weeks in jail,

many feel they are paying the price for the financial collapse. i have some money, i don't have all the pull. sometimes a but i, good, i. banks have been major lenders to the government for decades. they say they are not at fault. blaming politicians firmly managing the economy. but people know, many politicians are bankers, and they have been protecting the so instead of taking action to reverse the economic collapse, then there is ita, david lebanon has been in a deep economic crisis since 2019. the united nation says nearly 80 percent of its people and are living in poverty. the lebanese currency has lost more than 90 percent of its value devastating for a nation that imports most of its goods. international donors say aid is conditional on reforms which politicians have so far resisted. well,

joining me now from beirut is lebanon's minister of economy and trade. i'm in salon . thank you so much for your time, sir. i want to start by asking you personally, how would you characterize the state of the economy at the moment when you just stated earlier on as really going through a very, very difficult economic crisis. reforms of major need for 11 on to be able to stop the bleeding and the economy and begin looking development and recovery delays due to political tensions within the country of extended timeline for the quickly forms requested by the requested by the national community. therefore, we are seeing more social unrest, which is very alarming because what we have with the yesterday could be something

that can grow bigger on a larger scale, which will create a total chaos on the social scene with security challenges for level. well, as you just alluded to that just yesterday we thought about level of desperation that many people are feeling when will people be able to get their money out of the bank? this is a very tough question. however, it's a very just full question. and people do have the phone, right? so the deposits and the banks. i have been a member of the negotiating committee with enough we, we have been working diligently to find the best exit really to secure the money of the deposit. none of the scenarios that we really worked on was an easy one. most recently, the government has issued an economic recovery plan where we showed that certain

accounts with them a limit of $100000.00, will be able to have access to the money and the banks and the amounts that are larger than $100000.00 will be part of larger and more sophisticated that will have the government pay back. those money is through an investment fund that the government looks forward to establish well. so i think the question that a lot of lebanese would want to know is when will that happen? as we've been saying, lebanon is in need of a bailout, and the i'm f one reforms done before that happens as someone who's been involved in the negotiations, are you confident that will happen? and are you worried about more depth? i am honestly very concerned that the delay and the forms that were requested and the form of prerequisites by the i m f are taking too long of now most of those

lows on in the parliament waiting for the parliament to issue them once we issue those reform laws including the capital control that really puts a structure to the whole bank. in fact, once we issue the restructuring of the bank in the secrecy law for the bank and the budget 2022, then we can really start talking about serious next steps of opening up more the banks dealing with the puzzle 1st, giving hope that the deposit can begin having access based on a, on new laws that are out before that nothing would really change, which is the biggest concern. unless those reform laws, nothing will change on the, on the social seeing more of the way the deposit can access their money. well,

in the meantime there is still these widespread shortage of the food and fuel and people are suffering and it does sound like what you've just discuss. the will take time. a committee that i believe you, chair declared recently that 90 percent of the bread crisis is over. all you now confident that subsidized grand is ending up where it's supposed to go, that it's benefiting the people it's supposed to for us. the for the issue and i do have the full, it's a good at the ministerial committee. we have really exceptional new mechanisms to really manage the proper distribution of subsidized. we've into the market within less than a week. we have now, i would say a 100 percent, almost a change in the market because the crisis is over. there are no more lines. the front of the bakery is this abuse and is being fed on all the bodies,

geography for all the areas and on. however, we do still have lots of challenges that we need to deal with, particularly smuggling subsidized with outside the country. and dealing with a number of black market traders that this committee is chasing a really relentlessly turning them into the judiciary system and taking 3 measures against them. so be able to really control the market for more stability. but we are confident that the crisis is over. we will continue the same efforts to really secure that the brands, the people that really have access to this. but getting their shift while i believe lebanon was getting something like 70 percent of its imported grain from ukraine. how has the war that change things? i see that 1st grain carrying ship that was on its way hasn't arrived.

yes, that's true. lebanon exports about 70 percent of sweep from you. okay. and that's the spread amongst multiple countries. but for us, the water and your plane really, really impact. busy our availability for this commodity because level on as you know, very well last national reserves, that's the tragic explosion and the motivated. so we are really confused on what we got delivered. the delays that happened to the war in russia were significant because we used to receive an a shipment stomach from your claim within a week to level on. now it was taking over 3 weeks, sometimes a month. sometimes some of the ships were being transferred to other location. we are happy that the on board agreement now has opened the back the shipment planes

from you. ok to 11 on the shift that you just mentioned. mostly had different types of green, mostly color, not to eat. that's what supposed to that i still on. but from the official channels . we were informed that. 3 a change in the nation because it took so long to arrive to 11 on the private sector who purchased this ship. cancel the whole formation. we're to see, i'm sorry to interrupt you because i do want to ask you one last question. you have several months left in your own time, and as we've discussed, a lot of things are going to take quite a lot of time. a huge amount here rests on the trust of people in politicians. what do you personally going to get done in the rest of your time?

my biggest concern and the mention that i'm really focused on now, but typically the level on has been categorized by the world bank and the number of international denies to be the most vulnerable in the food security issue. i have a major major. the battery also challenge to take care of secure 1st of all and we will continue the stability in getting supplies food supplies, particularly we level on which is a very serious component of the food security issue 11 on the 2nd most important for me to accomplish is the ministry of economy and trade needs to keep all the channels open within the national community to secure that their support and their aid to 11 on continue to come and that i still haven't on smoothly. the last most important thing is our monitoring role to make sure that everything that i've priced an illegal spectrum. so this is a clever on business,

gets abused by unfair or black markets. because the inflation is already impacted on a loss and continue having the supplies, the number one, protecting the consumer is number 2. and the relations with the national community to keep everything flowing. a small little level on number 11 on the minister of economy and trade and alumni speaking to us from buried. thank you for joining us on out of there. thank you. now brazilians have demonstrated and several cities in defense of democracy. they're concerned that president, jaya bolton, ara may not accept october's election results. recent polls suggests that he is trailing former present lewis in osteo, florida to silva, monica yanna. k. reports from rio de janeiro. the rallies united brazilians from all ages and walks of life. trade,

union leaders and left wing politicians standing side by side with businessman, bankers, and students. and right now we have created a great front if we want to defend bristles, democracy from president job olson or as a tax id. this is unique moment when businessman and workers join efforts to defend democracy. the main rally was at the university of so paula's law school where similar event was held 45 years ago against brazil's military dictatorship crowds gathered inside the building in the courtyard to listen to 2 manifestos, both defending brazil's democratic institutions less than 2 months before october's presidential elections oh, our democracies facing immense danger. our institutions are at risk from insinuations and contempt for the results of the elections. the manifestos were

drawn up after president j ball sonata stepped up, his attack on brazil supreme court, an electronic voting system. in july, he told a group of foreign ambassadors that the elections could be easily rigged. bowl shobel sonata trailing behind former president was in masula, thus 0 for the movement in defense of brazil's democracy rule over the past week. spreading twitter least, 20 state capitals among them. rio de janeiro crowds gathered at universities here in rio and another cities to listen to the manifestos being read. people here say they must show their unity on the streets to ensure that democracy and the rule of law prevail. monica inactive, al jazeera, rio de janeiro. ah ha, that is his al jazeera and these are the headlines.
