their own money will be live with play watching al jazeera live from doha with me fully by table. also coming up, ukraine says a mass grave discovered in a town retake in from russia contains civilian bodies. fighting along the border between kennedy's sign into jackie's stand, intensifies authority, say to cease fire attempts have failed. and the queue for the queen is for no more people can join for the next 6 hours. oh, thank you very much for joining as we start in lebanon, where there's been 9 armed holdups at banks. in the last 5 hours, financial institutions of announced sale close for 3 days next week because of

security concerns. many of the rates are by armed and desperate lebanese people demanding access to their own money. on facing a financial crisis and banks her in both strict limits on withdrawals. let's go straight to santa holder. was in built for as outside one of those banks. quite an extraordinary situation. this is the 2nd hold up this week. i mean, a number of them to day tell us about what's been happening, where you are yes, at least, but 9 a hold up to do. in the past 3 days, there were 11. if you can see behind me, there are deposit tours inside that bank. and one of them is a 90 year old woman, has it so low or not? she is demanding her money. she says that she can no longer survive. her children can find work. the economic situation is only getting worse. these are depositors

their arms. they're both unquote, robbing banks, but what they're demanding is their own money. the bank shout impose on unofficial capital control since late 2019 they have severely limited the amount of money you can withdraw. and if you would draw from a dollar account, they give you that money in that local currency, but at a much lower rate than the market. so that's a de facto haircut. so what people feel is that they have been paying the price for the financial collapse. 8 not the states, not the central bank, not the banks who lend money to the state who, according to the world bank misuse the money for the past 30 years. so desperate people. but at the same time, they're getting a lot of sympathy on the street. a lot of people are cheering them on and in the words of the demo depositors, the outcry association award has been declared against the buying

these hold that xena have been happening quite frequently. recently. i wonder how are lebanese authorities responding to this well, the interior minister has called for an emergency meeting of the central security council. so far, you see heavy security presents whether it's the police, whether it's the lebanese army, but so far in all these incidents, they have not storm the bank. they all these incidents have ended these fully. in fact, a short while ago, an m p. arrived at the scene and he went in the bank to try to find a good solution. but people worry that if this continues at that the stability and chaos continued, somebody can get hurt. now the banking association has decided to close by next week for 3 days. i leave the positive union whether or not, you know, this is going to help their struggle if you like. and they said yes,

because if we keep the banks close, then they say cannot pay the salaries of the security forces. they can't give the army their salaries and their, the hope is, the security forces will fight with people against the state. this is not a new struggle to change the political system to get the weight of a political class responsible and blamed really for miss madison, the economy and running the economy into the ground. lebanon is nearly bankrupt. there is barely any foreign currency left in the bank money that belongs to the depositors. xena just remind our viewers, you know, the situation that lebanese ordinary lebanese people are facing on a daily basis in the wake of this crisis. the local currency has crush the value has last night. it's lost. 95 percent of its value. a lot of people earn in the local currency, the public sector they've been on strike for weeks now. state institutions are

falling apart. there is no state services. the government cannot provide electricity to the people. there's no money, no hard currency to buy fuel. so if you have money, then you can pay for diesel to run private generations. but most people do not have that luxury. people face water shortages because you need electricity to pump water to their homes. and as of late, the government increase the price of the telecom prices, telephone internet prices, and the people cannot afford that any longer. so people's way of life has changed. and all this, while the past 3 years, those in power have not come up with an economic recovery plan to enable lebanon to receive a bailout package from, from the i m f. so this is a country that is desperate for hard currency, but at the same time, those in power are doing nothing and no action really. in fact, today,

parliament is supposed to meet in the afternoon to finalize the state budget for this year. already 9 months late, they should have approved the budget 9 months ago. and even that they bunch of this being criticized for approving any other reforms that are needed for lebanon to get international assistance. xena holder in b route. thank you very much for that update. we'll keep a very close eye on the situation there as it unfolds with you. of course, 9 banks held up in the lebanese capital barrel. today in the last 6 hours frustration as you heard, is growing as customers demand the release of their own money from those institutions. thank you very much, dana, for the moment. the war in ukraine now and a mass grave has been discovered in a northeast. sincerely recently retaken by ukrainian forces 450 grace were found in is you the head of the national police force as most contained,

the bodies of civilians. the city is in the khaki region, ukrainian tor 3 took it from russian forces earlier this month. the bodies are to be exempt for forensic examination. present bottom is lensky, says, legal proceedings are and away the hatch, lebanon muscles, the human utility mass graves were found in easy on in the car, keep regions the necessary legal proceedings have already been initiated. there, there should be more information clear and verified tomorrow to morrow there will be ukrainian, and international journalists in is you want the world to know what is really happening and what the russian occupation has led to butcher mario poll now, unfortunately, is you russia leaves death everywhere, and must be held accountable for it. the world must bring russia to real responsibility for this war. we will do everything for this. you get out of air as gable is under, has worn out from keys. while officials,

they're uneasy and are now going through this mass grave area. forensic experts are there on seen right now. they say that they are going to go through and zoom every single site and examine every single remains that they can find to try to figure out names, ages identities, to get to the bottom of this, the officials. they're already signaling that they believe. these are all civilians and they also are signaling at least early on in this investigation that there are potentially women and children among the dead. this was a sight in him in a forested area. what they found were wooden crosses, with no names on them, unmarked graves only numbers on all of the crosses. this comes as ukrainian reintegration forces. these are people that come in after the military is swept through and retaken towns and villages from the russians. then another group of you

creating officials comes through to try to re establish services to cities that have been reclaimed by the ukrainians. and now these are the officials that have discovered these mass graves or potential mass graves. now, moscow has not commented so far on these claims by the ukrainians, but in the past, moscow is said, the russians have said that they do not target civilians and they do not participate in war crimes, but the ukrainians already pointing to situations such as butcher the town right outside of keys where more than $458.00 bodies were found of ukrainians all civilians after the russians were pushed out of that area. early on and this war also point to more than 20000 civilians and military that were killed in murray pole in the south during a weeks long russian seas of that city. a city that the russians still control revenues keggers fan has

a mound for sees fire with project easton. both countries have been accusing each other of carrying out of tanks on their towns along there. $950.00, kill on the border. at least 3 people have been killed in fighting, broke out on wednesday. let's speak to l. n. people about this. she's an associate professor of political science at nasa. barajas nazare by yeah of university and she's joining us from no san thank you so much for being with us. fighting overboard issues between kids on energy kissed on is frequent. how significant is this latest escalation and why is it happening now? so as you mentioned, those classes are returned and have been increasing return in the last 22 years, and every time it escalates they, the violence is, is more intensive is more intense. and what is different about those? so earlier in the 1990 s even going back and the year 2010,

there were conflicts happening mostly of the local level between, between residence, either of the communities or their enclaves. and those territories that make borders very complicated, but they were mostly local, localized conflicts between rented and ordinary people. some time the security forces would get involved. but when we have seen this year in june 2022 and last year in april 21 or complex layer of security forces intervene. and this time it seems that it's still unclear, each party is accusing. the other one is starting to conflict, but the use of heavy weaponry is quite concerning. and this is something that is particular about this conflict. and as well as the spread of the points of friction, of conflicts, the area that were targeted. so they're no longer talking about

a border because some regions inside to just some were targeted by subject shelling reports. both countries are allied with russia and host russian military bases. i wonder, to what extent are the current geopolitical is the current political context in russia's war in ukraine also playing into this, this latest escalation? yeah, the timing is quite particular as well because as we are speaking and maybe we'll discuss this in a moment too. but the leaders of the chain guy corporation operate organization are meeting in who's big. so the diplomatic at the top level, the president of both is something that you, some are at the same summit. and what indeed does a lot of instability going on in the region? so russia and ukraine there's, i mean there's a by john and now to his son,

and did you just and it seems that, well, instability generates more in stability. and the, it's interesting to see that the one, the other cautious happened in april 2021. and also it was also at the same time, the heads of security council of the collective sick. this treaty of security, collective security treaty organization. we're meeting and do some. so this is happening. it seems that there's a very strong disconnect between politics at the national level and at the local level. right. what do you think you talked about the other crises in the region? what's going to be in your view, the fallout for russia and for the wider region in the wider region as these former soviet space, including tajikistan and kyrgyzstan, you know, witness, it seems what appears to be the limits of, of russia's military capabilities is when you consider what's happening right now

in ukraine? yeah, i think so. i think we really see the limits of regional security corporation because those 2 countries are members of to, both of them are members of 2 different security organizations. the c s t o, the collective security tripled organization, which russia is leading and the shine guy, corporation organization. and this is c s to your collective security treaty organization. it's mandate is to create agreements between countries, the member states that are part of this organization. so that here is one failure and the 2nd one is to intervene in case of conflict and the c a c, o is not intervening. so far in armenia has been attacked by a, by, as a by john recently. and it's unclear if it will play a role in this,

in this conflict. but it did that it's only a sort of peace making intervention happen in january 2022. but it seems that it's capable of playing its role again of civilizing, probably because especially russia is due to mobilized in rain. thank you so much lentil for talking to us about this. elaine table associate professor of political science at math r. bye at university in nor still tanya, thank you. and still ahead on al jazeera, china's economy got says slight boost with better than expected growth, and the property market is still casa, can say, ah, the journey has begun. the faithful world camp is on its way to catherine book. your travel package today. it's tice you now to tie for me say good bye to him. we pho, she's now just a massive ray, but this one is going to be quite significant. it's still strengthens all,

it is peak strength. the next 24 hours. it probably will be winds around about the 240 to 50 kilometers per hour. mark and gusting much higher. that. that takes it really right up near the top of the category. it's over open water, but it's, it's, i think it's going to be felt in the smaller islands, at least in japan. and the induced wall that's been brought down now with has gone, might bring temperatures in foot yet up to was near 40 degrees, which is really high this time of the year. but the store was able keep going to start to lose some impetus as it gets to was the big wrong q shoe, for example. but it's still a storm of note and probably will be quite damaging. if i take you in to monday. currently, this isn't a guaranteed track, but it's like to stay around japan rather than go into north korea. we think ok, let's go way to india. the monsoon rains, taking a step back for a day or so. it's been fairly heavy. round magic pradesh up towards west napoleon,

it still shows signs of there, but it is certainly easing on saturday and sunday. and for pakistan, what is dry, at least in the sky. cats are official ally of the journey in the year 127180 a young italian merchant set out on an extraordinary journey, having travelled, diverted, leeches of the ma, glen pye, marco polo world, medically older, beijing, the city established by cooper, the car is still to day china strong with nod now and china is again a superpower. we reflect on how the relationship between east and west has changed . marco polo on al jazeera with ah,

you're watching al jazeera live from doha reminder of our top stories. they've been 9 on told, hold up saint banks across lebanon. this friday, banks will close for 3 days next week because of security concerns. many of the rates are by people demanding access to their own money. the mass grave has been discovered in a ukrainian city retake in from russian forces. $450.00 grace were found in museums . the head of the national police forces most contained the bodies of civilians and killed. his van has announced a ceasefire with tajikistan after days of attacks on towns along their 950 kilometer border. at least 3 people have been killed since fighting broke out on wednesday at china has reported vasily expected growth in factory output and retail

sales. but economists are reluctant to call it a full recovery. they say a declining property market and strict over 19 measures could still drive down the economy. patrick fox reports from b j. well, the lots of encouraging signs indicating there is some momentum to china's economic recovery. you'd have to say lots of surprises across the board as well, with retail sales, industrial output and fixed asset investment data, all comfortably beating forecasters estimates map retail sales growth of 5.4 percent. so for august, year on year was really a bright spot, particularly taking into consideration the disruption to consumer activity with lots of people shying away from going out because of strict cobra curbs. notably there was a significant rise in food and catering sales, helping to drive that number. so people not going out, but they are still ordering in plenty via delivery apps and so on and so forth. but despite the overall positive data, officials expressed caution about the outlook he needed. i shall doughty girl since

the beginning of the year due to multiple factors such as the pandemic and changes in the external environment. the recovery of domestic demand has been relatively slow compared with the recovery of production. and the problem of insufficient demand is still prominent without which will. and the overwhelming reason for that uncertain domestic recovery is coven restrictions. there are still tens of millions of people across the country under at least partial locked than the tight curves and the run up to the con, the hearty congress. don't bode well for september. data tourism in particular has been decimated and the other big threat to the economy is the ongoing housing crisis with over leverage developers defaulting and halting on construction projects and owners in turn boycotting mortgage payments. home prices fell for a 12th straight month in august, undermining the competence of chinese households who hold much their wealth in real

estate. lou, king charles, the 3rd has began a visit to whale is his 1st visits there since becoming king. who is the former prince of rance, of course, and has now passed that title on to his son, william net began to panic. hagey james space has in cardiff, rails, and kenneth castle. tell us about what's been happening there. where there the king space visit to wales fully he landed here by helicopter 21 gun salute just near where i am. very loud. it was as he landed about 3 kilometers in that direction. landorf castle, a land that land of cathedral of the main cathedral in card if actually is a separate city historically. and they're an hour long service of, of, of, of, of,

of a memory for the and prayers for the queen. that services now indeed, and you can see the pictures live now of king charles outside the cathedral, greeting the crowds and then he'll be going on from here in the other direction actually down towards the water. cuz kind of lies on the coast down to card of bay to the senate. that's the welsh parliament at wales has had devolution in recent years. which means that the government here controls some things that don't control things like foreign policy and defense. they're still controlled by the national government there, as you've already seen, when he's visited the other nations that make up the united kingdom. as you saw in scotland and new store in storm and northern ireland, he will be greeted by the members of those assemblies. and this assembly the senate with a, a message of condolence from the presiding officer, effectively, the speaker of the senate will give that to king charles, and then he'll reply. and then he cut makes his way back to where i am now. and you

can see the crowds are gathering here. they've only been allowed in the last 20 minutes or so outside the castle for a glimpse of their new king or he, he'll be missing the 1st minister wales mart drake, ford and other other dignitaries. and they'll also be a lunch taking place here later falling where we're saying that the king, their greeting, crowd st. his, you know, being received her warmly there, it would seem a better. i also understand that they've been some protests. james, tell us a bit more about that and the relationship went with the crown man. my sort of relationship has wayne's had with the craft? well, it's an interesting relationship. certainly. i think king charles will how hope that over 64 years as the prince of wales is contributed to a good relationship between crown and people here in wales. but wales is a little different from the rest of the united kingdom. it is its own nation as

scotland is, as here with our lenders here. they also have the added factor of a different language. many people about a 3rd of the people here is at least speak somewhat welsh, which is, are working language that exists here. and there were, there was many, many years ago, a separate kingdom of wales that was separate from the u. k. a with a separate from england. and that we have to go right back. i'm getting the date for you now. 1282 and last prince of wales who was actually walsman was called the well an up griffith. and he was killed in 1282. and then what happened 30 years later is the english king edward. the 1st made his son, prince of wales and there are some who are saying, who are, who are believe that whales should be independent or certainly our more nationalistic lead minded believe that is a humiliation that has gone on in history each time there's an english monarch making his son the prince of wales when it used to be a job that was held up by

a welshman. and they believe that that is something that is still an enduring humiliation for well to to wells. there's talk a protest here. we're certainly heard some protest is, are planning a march later on, but no real big signs of it here. and certainly the people who are gathered here who gathered at the front to look at the new king that a staunch wallace, i think. thank you so much for that jane spaces i. diplomatic editor live there in cardiff. i meanwhile, the u. k. government says the queue to view the queen his coffin is full and no one can join for at least 6 hours. line a thousands of people is stretching more than 8 kilometers along the river thames. the queen's body will lie in fade at westminster hole until her funeral on monday. let's get you an update now on the situation in between armenia and as a by john the fighting between armenia and as a by john rush. it's president, has held a phone conversation with armenia foreign minister to discuss this week's fighting between armenia and as by john, more than 180 soldiers,

most of them armenian have been killed, a russian, that security organisation sent a fact finding mission to armenia after its government requested help that spring in algiers. tony chang, who's in the southern armenian city of your mall, which was targeted by as a, by johnny shelling earlier this week. tony accusations from both sides about who initiated this latest clash. what are the armenian saying to the ambassadors i understand who've taken to the border, they had to see what's happening. well they've been showing the miranda this town showing them the damage, like you can see here on the side of this sir, was a sanatorium shrapnel damage broken windows a little earlier. they took us to a ski resort, which they said was the target provide to the area, what they say was a concerted effort to hit the tourist infrastructure here and to do no just military damaged but economic damage. this was a bustling tourist town of

a popular resort. now it's completely empty. the women and children have been moved away by the army for their safety. some of the men remained here, some of them of put on uniforms, to go defend the border, which used to be 12 kilometers in that direction. but we heard today from the armenian chief of staff, that there was actually incursion with azerbaijani troops getting as close as 7.5 kilometers. inside that he said, they're still about 4.5 kilometers away from this town. although he says it is not a large group, he thinks they won't be able to last many days before they're forced back to the border. but i think it gives it some kind of an indication of the concerns that they have that there is to get their territorial integrity is going to be in a way if these kinds of clashes continued to happen. and i think what they're trying to do here, particularly by inviting foreign ambassadors, is to gain the moral high ground. they say this was completely unprovoked. it was

completely unexpected. took them by surprise. which is, why are the azerbaijani troops managed to get so far inside? but interestingly, although early european union ambassadors here, we're here, they're the american ambassador plus military advisors. no, were russian ambassador, and i think her as one of their major supporters here. that's going to be of a slight concern. okay, connie, thank you very much for that. tony chang reporting their life from andy, southern armenian city of yen walk. that has been a major fire in a skyscraper in the southern chinese city of chung shot authorities arch. still trying to find out if anyone has been injured. they are also investigating what started the blaze it trying to telecom tower is 20800 meters tall. and this reported to have been built 22 years ago. rescue operations on the way initially where heavy rains and floods have killed at least 7 people. the affected area is in the eastern province of my k. the region received half its usual annual rainfall in

just a few hours firefighters clearing landslides in fallen trees, and helping people trapped in their homes and cars. in pakistan, health officials, a warning of a rise in waterborne diseases among people in the flooded southern thin province. dr. say many were initially being treated for trauma, but now they're seeing people suffering from diarrhea and skin infections. the navy is applying a to those cut off by flooding. hundreds of thousands of people are homeless and more than 1500 have died. there was another day we were saving approximately 700 patients a day in which most of the patients are suffering from eye and skin infections. malaria is also increasing. the main reason is the lack of clean drinking water and living in congested conditions is also one of the reasons people are getting infections from each other. so far, fumigation has not started as much as it's needed.
