4:02 pm
have been carried out on banks in the last few hours. many of the rays were by armed and desperate people demanding access to their own money. financial institutions have announced though closed for 3 he days next week over security concerns and is facing a financial crisis. and banks have imposed strict limits on withdrawals on this that speak to zayna hotel. she joins us live from beirut and santa. you're outside one of those banks that has been held up by armed people. tell us what's happening . well, like you mentioned at least 7 bank holdups today in the span of a few hours. this is one branch, a man, a depositor. his name is abigail. he's inside. currently there are negotiations with security. he is demanding $275000.00 us dollars. that's the amount he has in his account. he says that this is his rights. he is not robbing the bank on the
4:03 pm
country and his words, the bank has trapped his savings, and he has been living in poverty since the commercial banks in lebanon have imposed informal capital controls since late 2019, when the economy started to collapse. what we understand from security forces here is that they're trying to negotiate some sort of a peaceful end to this stand off by giving him $25000.00 us dollars. there is still no deal an hour ago. we saw a 90 year old woman who was also a depositor inside the bank, demanding her money, a $1200.00. that is what she wanted. she says that her children don't have any jobs and she desperately needs the money. so these armed depositors really are not thieves. they are people who believe that they have been rob up by the banks. and what they understand from the depositors outcry association is that a war has been declared and that war has been declared on banks and that they will
4:04 pm
not stop until they claim what they believe is rightfully theirs. and they know when security forces eventually advantage to get peace, hold to leave the banks peacefully. what happens to them they get arrested in previous incidents? yes, they are arrested but briefly usually for a few hours, sometimes for a few days, but the unarmed deposit or a female arm depositor. on wednesday, sally half is she still in hiding? she hasn't turned herself over to the security forces. she managed to take $13000.00 from her account because she says she needed the money to pay for her sisters cancer treatment. but if you can see around me, there's a lot of army as soldiers police. so far, they have refrained from storming the banks. what they're trying to do is, and the stand off peacefully,
4:05 pm
they don't want to worsen at the security situation. people are on the edge. people are desperate. in fact, not very far from where we are. protestors have started to block roads in support of these depositors because people are saying that they can no longer survive the currency crash that last more than 90 percent of its value. and the majority of the lebanese people earn in the local currency and politicians have done nothing to revive the economy to adopt measures in order to be eligible for a bailout package. this is a country which is starving for dollars. in fact, just an hour ago, the economy minister announced that the price of red a main staple has been increased so more hardships for the people of this country 3 years. and people say they cannot continue, they cannot cope. they say, even if the banks closed their doors for 3 days, eventually they're going to have to open and they're promising that this is going to happen over and over again. what it,
4:06 pm
we've had with the one member of the government, but has that been a coordinated government response a plan to deal with this economic crisis? no, and this is what people here are saying they've had 3 years. the political class which have been in power for 3 decades now, they're being blame for mismanagement, for corruption, for running the economy into the ground, basically bankrupting the state. they've done nothing for 3 years. they are supposed to enact reforms, structural reforms, financial reforms, fight corruption, even adopt a budget for this year. it's already september and there's still no state budget for 2022. in fact, parliament is discussing that budget today, and it involves increasing our hiking custom do these indirect taxes. so people say, why haven't they done anything? bottom line is, if the political elite carries out reforms, then they're vested interests are at stake. and many bank shareholders are either
4:07 pm
politicians or are connected to politicians. so people see the financial and the political elite working together against the people. and it is the depositors who are paying the price for the financial collapse. the financial hold. a total losses is more than $70000000000.00 than a honda. joining us that from beirut outside that bank, which is still being held up by people in the side desperate to get that money. thank you very much, dana. that's bring in. hi, co women. he's of 11 lebanon project director at the international crisis group and joins us from beirut. just give us a bit more context harris to how lebanon has managed to get itself into this dire situation. well, i mean, to put it very easily by spending way more then in terms of imports more, the more way, more than it,
4:08 pm
uncertain terms of exports and that over the decades to a lot of money disappearing into the we know about. so that's all how that was funded on credit, and now it had all piled up to $70000000000.00 or 80 notes. so spend a huge amount of money spending on watch. very good question. indeed. nothing to solve for really completely defunct infrastructure. no electricity portfolio roads, no water, and so on and so forth. mostly really they spend expanded on interest interest rates and pay interest on the earlier loans with the later loans. and they spend on their tricity sector that i think has lost 30 or $40000000000.00 over 2 decades. so that really half of the disaster. and is this something that can be turned around but isn't due to lack of good governance currently by the current government?
4:09 pm
we haven't had to xena was saying a budget announced yet for this year. is this something that can be turned around, or is it way past that? well, so 2 and a half years ago there was a recovery plan. back then they still had something like $30000000000.00 in the central bank. somebody could have been done with the money and steps, the plan was shut down by acquisition of banking interest, who didn't like the plan and didn't like that they were supposed to pay up for their shelf. that is awesome. now most of the money is gone. i, we shouldn't be, as xena said, there's no budget with us something i think we're still miles away from an agreement with the i'm if and that is really the gates. they both have to come to the, the i'm apps, there are preconditions 8 of them. i think 3 and a half of them have been say my for the m f is i'm, if you in town again in a few days,
4:10 pm
i'm not sure they're going to be happy with what they're saying. 80 percent of lebanese currently living in poverty, that is an extraordinary number. what happens next? we're going to get worse. they, they get a new saying that the protesters are once again coming out onto the street, but what can happen now? that's so, so one another thing that we already seeing happening now, the boats that are crossing the mediterranean, they get more of them. we hear every time. one is thinking we don't hear when they get through those numbers up. everybody's getting out. everybody is desperately trying to find income in dollars that mostly from abroad. many of course have relative abroad to support them and those who have neither who can get away and we don't have to support them. i don't have a choice of dollars will get even poorer than they are today. and i think by the
4:11 pm
way, i mean, we really have to worry about simon. hi, co women. thank you very much for joining us, that we do insights as to the situation in lebanon. appreciate your time. you're welcome. thank you very much. thank you much fighting it. now officials and ukraine are investigating what they say are. the bodies of hundreds of civilians discovered in mass graves in the north eastern city of z. m. some are reported to have been bound by rope around their necks and their hands. they were found days off to ukraine. we took the city from russian forces. gabrielle is under reports from cave, wooden crosses in a forest ukrainian authority, say they mark a mass grave with as many as 440 people dead. authorities made the discovery in the northeastern city of the zoom forensic investigators say they will examine every body to determine the circumstances of the deaths. it is believed most were

4:26 pm
which means the western pacific is warmer than it's long term law. so it's now full of storms. we just seen, typhon we for go through eastern china mailbox about to hit alaska as a degrading tropical storm. so we're probably going to focus on nan madeau, which is a still developing tropical storm typhoon then super time. that's moving quite slowly, which makes it very dangerous. it's gusts at its strongest, and that is within 24 hours. could be up to 300 kilometers per hour. steady winds of 240. it's a super tie food by this time. now as you can see, it is moving relatively slowly because it takes 24 hours to get towards que shoe. by that time it will have lost a little bit of strength, but not a huge amount. it's still going to be likely a super typhoon with these winds. so wind damage is quite likely they will, of course, be as well in water and a huge amount of rain. so what does it do after this? because we've got to sunday already that by this point the forecast won't be accurate, but the trend looks like it will go across q shoe,
4:27 pm
into han shoe still as a name bull storm. but the winds will be dying by this time. the winds will be not a big problem during tuesday. the rain will be they'll be extensive flooding in japan and rescue operations are underway in italy. we're heavy, rains and floods have killed at least 7 people. infected areas in the eastern province of mark k region received half its usual annual rainfall in just a few hours firefighters clearing lamps, lines, and fallen trees, and helping people trapped in their homes and cars. still a has hair on al jazeera chinese economy gets a slight boost with better than expected growth box. property market is still cause for concern and in the nfl rookie helps kansas city, remain perfect this season. all those details later in sports ah
4:28 pm
4:29 pm
lou ah ah, there again you are watching al jazeera has remind her of our top stories this. our 7 raids have been carried out on banks across lebanon on friday. banks were closed for 3 days next week because of security concerns. many of the hold ups were by people demanding that own money. officials in ukraine are investigating what they say on the bodies of hundreds of civilians is covered in mass graves and the recently liberates the city of im. some are reported to have been bound by a vote and around the neck and the hands and kick hassan and tajikistan have agreed on the seas. far off the days of attacks on towns along the 950 kilometer border.
4:30 pm
and these 3 people have been killed since fighting broke out on wednesday. but our correspondent, as since said that sci fi is broken, i like to bolt is an associate professor of political science at nasa by of university. she says the border issues between k gast on and to g cust on have a long history. those clashes are recurrent and have been increasing over time in the last 2 to 2 years. and every time it escalates they, the violence is, is, is more intensive. and, and what is different about those? so earlier in the 1990 is even going back. and the year 2010, there were conflicts happening mostly at the local level between, between residents, either of that community. so there enclaves in those territories that make a board is very complicated, but they were mostly local,
4:31 pm
localized conflicts between residents, ordinary people, sometimes it security forces will get involved. but when we have seen this year in june 2022 and last year in april 21 are conflicts where security forces in intervene. and this time it seems that it's still unclear, each party is accusing. the other one is starting to conflict, but for 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 that the areas that were targeted. so we're no longer talking about a border because some regions inside to just on were targeted by cedric shelling reports, show ross as president, has held a phone conversation with armenia as prime minister to discuss this week's fighting
4:32 pm
between armina and as a by john more than 180 soldiers, most of them armenian, have been killed, a russian that security organization sent a fact finding team to armenia after government requested help. let's go live now to tony chang. he's in the southern all media in city of john look, which was targeted by azerbaijani shelling this week. and tony o mania took a delegation of diplomats out. so this border area, what was the message the armenians had for them? the message was loud and clear, and it was that this was a very unprovoked attack. it took them by surprise and tight. we heard the chief of staff of the armenian army, telling them that it was so surprised that by johnny shook, managed to incur into armenian territory as far as 7 and a half kilometers. in fact, they said that some of them are still there. they're not over concerned about it because they say they are effectively cut off and they will have to withdraw in
4:33 pm
a couple of days. but it was something a remarkable admission. i think it was designed to convey the message to those ambassadors that this was really none of the doing the locals. we spoke to in the town and jim took them completely by surprise. early on, on the morning of tuesday, heavy shelling drone attacks, they said the town was thrown into chaos. they said they even were hearing the artillery fall yesterday. we understand from the chief of stuff they now had the area locked down. there's very tight security and we saw artillery being deployed into the area very high security presence. but i think. busy that, that message they want to convey to those ambassadors and to the international community. they really are the innocent victims here. and they want to claim the moral high ground. they say this is as a by johnny aggression,
4:34 pm
the trying to force back the boldest in these sort of disputed areas. and they say that they really are just defending their own country at this stage. and tony, what's happened to the local people in that area since this fighting broke out? well, it's funny cuz jermel is a popular resort town, not a huge one of the native population about $5000.00 people. but this is a busy holiday season. we understand there were lots of people when these attacks took place. now it's effectively a ghost town. we were taken around to see some of the damage to those artillery bowers is inflicted. it wasn't huge, frankly, but it wasn't also tugs had many military installations. we saw a cable car which had been hit sanatorium where, where there was quite serious damage from shrapnel. so clearly it was an attack designed not only to target the military in the dugan positions their
4:35 pm
local people have been taken away. we understand for the military, they don't want to disclose exactly where many of the men remain some in the town. i think the old ones to protect that property. some of the younger ones we saw had put on uniforms and have gone off with the standing me to go and reinforce them in these board areas. that has been a piece that's holding. but i think the concern is for everybody, given the tensions along this board and the historical problems they've had, this just signals a return to the insecurity that many people have self in this region for years and days 20 chang aborting them from armenia. thanks very much, tony. now china has reported faster than expected price and factory output and retail sales. but economists are reluctant to call it a full recovering a something property markets and strict cave at 19 measures could still drank their
4:36 pm
economy town. hatchet voc reports from beijing while 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 lampert, and fixed asset investment data, all comfortably beating forecasters estimates that retail sales growth of 5.4 percent 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 coven curbs. notably there was a significant rise in food and catering sales, helping to drive that number. so people not going up, but they are still ordering in plenty via delivery apps and so on and so forth. but despite the overall positive data, officials express caution about the outlook denila short article since the beginning of the year due to multiple factors such as the bent image can changes in
4:37 pm
the external environment. 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 log van and the tie curves and the run up to the come, the 40 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, has in crisis with overt leverage developers defaulting and halting on construction projects and owners in turn boycotting mortgage payments. home prices fell for a 12 straight month in august on the minor, the competence of chinese households who hold much of the wealth in real estate. as being a major fire in a skyscraper in the southern chinese city of chang shar,
