tripled since 2020. you didn't them, they brought me the 2 kids did. what about the other is what they bring the others to me. i can't say more than this. my heart is broken as i am a hell of what is like a number that law. if i get the chairs, i will leave if there is a boat here right now, i will get on it with my 2 children and i am not mad. she magical had elena. this. no more fear were just meet fading away that the fish just eat us. it's better than living here some minute. those in charge of eating us alive here. while his shakes have different palestinian factions, the un there is no one, is just the people around you hear the no one to support us in and out of another do it. poverty is what pushed we, sam to sell a property and his house to go on the boat. and then he lost his wife and children . yeah. our government doesn't care about the people and our living conditions. years of war, sectarian violence, and deep corruption of all led to lebanon's economic collapse and is yet to appoint a president. the war bank says to find out who crisis is probably one of the

world's worst in modern history. the lebanese lira has lost nearly 95 percent of his value. most people can't afford basic food, clean water or medicine. and the united nations estimates the 80 percent of lebanon's population is now poor and with no electricity. the entire country is mostly in darkness. a recent gallop poll found that a record, 63 percent of people say they want to leave for good, more lebanese and our living abroad rather than in the country and a foreign currency shortage. since 2019 means people can't get their hands on their savings. out of desperation bank robberies by ordinary citizens of increased dramatically with branches closing indefinitely to protect their stuff. just this week, a video went viral of sally half as she held up her bank in beirut with a toy gun. so she could withdraw her own savings. half a say she is not a criminal and needed to get her own money to pay for assist as counselor treatment . she says the countries i situation has left up with

a note other choice. now 11 ounce prime minister in achieve la cathy address the economic crisis of the general assembly this week or to see yaki is would monitored as much audio. our government is working on a financial and economic recovery plane. we're also working on a package of comprehensive structural in sick toil reforms that meet the requirements of the lebanese people. it also provides them with a social safety net. ah, let's bring in our guess andre route as xena and a board member of the n g o m l international and in the north of lebanon in her father. patrick martini the founder and president of the lebanese institute market studies. and in hamburg, fantasia la, who directs the middle east and north africa office of the heinrich ball foundation, a political foundation affiliated with germany's green party. welcome all to the program i'd like to begin in they root with a zayna nazena. this was a holy avoidable crisis. this was a corruption, this was mismanagement,

and according to every single lebanese person i've spoken to over the last year, the wholesale theft of lebanese money. now naji mccarty has been speaking about this at the un general assembly. he seemed to be putting the blame squarely on the fact that there were syrian refugees within lebanon itself. and what and said, we warned the world that we couldn't cope serial or serenely refugees. but actually these are palestinian refugees, and they are lebanese people as well. but he did finish by saying that things were going to get much, much worse, and now for an end geo like yours, i mean, you're already overstretch. can you cope with much, much worse, and come on really for highlighting the light on really if you try to do, we're talking about what's happened in front of syria, both thinking with $77.00 casualties. only 20 passengers alive. the same happened couple of days ago. and the tripoli, which is in the north of lebanon with

a to people who passed away and couldn't go for children and women with all her children. and the same scenario we saw in days or so last week, and previously this is happening every day in libya. and this is quite alarming because really treated stage and history where we have the highest number of refugees and migrant. so please you to one crisis. but also for the, you know, due to economic situation. so the main foundation for this. so we're seeing this happening among the syrian refugees and the previously, the part is to me and also the fittest that they will be called out as the person refugees, off city. but this is also starting with a denise which is really highlighting how much we do with increased crisis. this up, jumping into the sea migration to the sea is an increase in components. and we know that technically, this is called smuggling. where really know people to know that a life and doing what they're doing. and usually what we see in

similar scenarios is that the family device, etc. so half of them jump into the sea and the other one stayed on the sea short. so one parent with half of the and the other bit and on the sea shore, because they know that our cost of dying. and we know that this is a part of human trafficking because it's a new type that we quoted did. bondage with the smuggler, or they pay the person who is taking them on the boat for to to go. and i'm trying to reach a country that provides citizenship that provides nationality and better sense of living. as you highlighted, definitely the political situation ah, ask a live mouse united nations in new york, where russians foreign minister aguilar rove as addressing the general assembly. when you put a school, you go to my teacher scheman, you add to a difficult dramatic moment. the cries sees, are growing, and the situation of the area of international security is deteriorating rapidly.

instead of having an honest dialogue and looking for don love looking for compromises. what we're dealing with is just information course, course staging and publications. the a western lie in here and are mines entrusted international institutions as bodies where interest are agreed. it also undermines trust in international law as a guarantee of fairness and protecting the weak against the strong. the negative her tendencies, we witnessing within the un in a concentrated fashion to at the un which rose from the rubble of german fascism and japanese military lisman. and was created to develop a friendly relations amongst members and to prevent conflict among the new future of the world of order it is being decided to day. and it is clear to any impartial objective. the question is whether or not that is going to be the kind of order with one he had g men at the head of it making everyone else living. following his notorious you to do some rules of benefit to that, had you mon only,

or are we going to have a democratic fair world without blackmail and without setting fear into the unborn fund? wanted without new announcement near cologne. it is for which we made a firm choice for the latter, and together with partners and like minded people. now calling upon everyone to work for it, simply mention what is receding into the past. the unipolar model of world development, which serve the interests of the one golden 1000000000, and it's the over consumption demo, came from the resources of asia, africa, and lifetime maximum america. today we're witnessing, sovereign states ready to defend their national interests. and this results in the creation of an equal, socially oriented, unsustainable multiple architecture. martha d object of geopolitical processes are being seen by washington and fully subjugated to it. the eliza western countries are considered by them as,

as threat to their dominating position. the united states and allies want to stop the march of history at some point in the pastor and we'll go declaring uva they were dig doris and the cold war. washington law erected themselves in to an almost envoy of god on earth. only the devout 80 obligations, but only the sacred right to act with impunity wherever and wherever they want. and this can be done anywhere against any state, especially if they are somehow displeased this self pro proclaimed the masters of the world. and we do recall the wars of aggressions very far from american shores can yugoslavian iraq and libya which claimed many hundreds, thousands of peaceful lives. a worthy, truly legitimate interest of the rest were impacted in any one of those countries was an english band or any other language of nato countries bound their mass media

culture was, were the anglo saxon declared to be sub human or heavy weaponry was used against them what is the outcome of the adventurers? them of the united states and the middle east has a human rights situation. improved is a rule of law, better. this socioeconomic cause situation may perhaps have stabilized or people's livelihood is better name. a country where washington interfered by force and where as a result of that life improved, trying to restore i one polar model under this slogan of a rules based order was didn't wes, these introducing dividing lies everywhere along the lines of a confrontation between blogs or the with us or against us, there is no 3rd option provokes loss of all their no compromises. continuing with a course to spread to nature, to the east, and bringing the military structure of nato to the borders of russia,

the united states, and now have the goal of subjugating the asian areas and the juniper summit of nato in madrid to this self proclaimed defensive alliance or declare the indivisible security of your atlantic and india and to pacific. and under the slogan, over india, brew pacific strategies, closed formats are being created and they undermine what has been built on the asi, on for decades, namely a nope open and inclusive regional architecture. and in addition to that, they're playing with fire around taiwan. i'm on top of that. they are promising a military support to taiwan. clearly it's then a taurus monroe doctrine is becoming global in scope. washington is trying to turn the entire world and its own into its own backyard. and that way at all, we're doing this as through unlawful unilateral sanctions,

which have been for many years used in violation of the charter and used as a tool of political black mouth. this cynicism here is obvious because these restrictions hit civilians. they prevent them from getting access to basic goods, including medication, vaccines and food. and egregious example we have here is sam from the american blockade of cuba. more than 60 years old in general assembly has been for a long time. and is this tele demanding that be be immediately lifted? and this is being done by the absolute majority of voices. the secretary general, whose duty include helping implemented general assembly decisions must of course, pay special attention to this issue. the secretary general view as a special role also in mobilizing efforts to overcome food and energy crises which resulted in the wake all when out of control money emission of the united states and the european union during their pandemic. and as

a result of irresponsible unprofessional acts by the european union in the hydrocarbons fuel market. despite common sense, washington brussels compounded the situation when they announced economic war against russia. as a result, there is a growing price on gifts, food stuffs, fertilizers, oil and gas. we welcome the efforts made by the secretary general when they helped arrive at this stuff, eastern volume agreements on the 24th of june, why they need to be implemented about so far. the ships with the ukranian grain go somewhere but not aim to the poorest countries. on the one hand, on the other hand of the impediments by u. s. and e, u. the financial, logistical impediments against our grain and fertilizers have not been lifted. for the more for several weeks, we have been saying that about 300000 tons of fertilizer of being held up in

european ports. and we have been proposing that they be forwarded free of charge to the country to the needed countries in africa by the european union is not heating us. the official was a phobia in the west is unprecedented. now the scope is grotesque. they're not shy away from declaring the intent to inflict the military defeat to own our country, but also to destroy and fracture russia. in other words, what they want to do is to remove from the global map, a geopolitical entity, which has become all too independent. so how have russia in the recent decades been infringing on the interest of our opponents? is it that we can all be forgiven for making possible of the us military and strategic detente in 90 eighty's and 90 ninety's because of my country's position? or is it that way voluntarily dissolved the war, so treaty organization and thus removed, they are a reason for nato's

b. what is it that way supported the re unification of germany without any preconditions and against the position of london and paris that we would drew well military from europe, asia, from latin america, that we recognized the independence of former soviet republics. that we believe that promise as of western leaders, not to expand not by an inch of a nato in the east, but when it started agreed to basic a lead and a gentleman it through signing a founding act between russia and nato. did we infringe on the interest of the west when we warn them, there was unacceptable to bring closer and threatening military infrastructure, bringing the closer to our borders of the arrogance of the with over the west, american exclusivity of the come, particularly destructive after the end of the cold war already in 1991 was the deputy chief of pentagon paul wolf of his we see in here said conversation oil the

it was the globe nato commander, europe. wesley clark stated openly about, i quote, you and you after the end of the cold war was we can use our military without any fear of reprisals. we have 5, maybe 10 years. so as to, we're clean out the surrogate soviet regimes with you launch as iraq and syria. what, when you play until such time as there is a new superpower who can challenge us and of quote. and i am convinced that at some point to end someone's memoirs, we will find out how the american strategy was being developed as regards ukraine. thought. even so, washington's plans in this regard are obvious. in any event, it is possible they are not. we mean being forgiven that the request of the united states and european union weeds supported the agreement of the ukrainian president at the time mister young college. his agreement with the forces of opposition to

resolve crisis. in february 2014, these agreements were guaranteed by germany, poland, and flint, france. but the next morning they were trampled underfoot by the leaders of the bloody cou, who thus humiliated you were p and mediators. the west simply shrugged and watch too in silence. how would members of the cool started bombing the eastern over ukraine, where people refused to accept the results of the cruel? watched as if an organizer was made in made into the rank of national heroes. the accomplices of nazis. louisa. m. a. we were we expected to acquire yes. in the key of intent to ban the russian language education, our mass medium culture, with their insistence on chasing the russians out of crimea on waging war against on boss who said citizens that were proclaimed by the van authorities and now authorities and kit in k of proclaimed to be not people by specimens is it that we

violated the interest of the west because we played a role in stopping the a forceful actions by the key key of neo nazis in the eastern of, in the east of your credit and then demanded that the midst minutes package of measures be implemented. something that was so unanimously approved by the security council been and laid load by key if we're the participation of u. s. and e. you on, for many years we have been prompted, posing to have security in europe, waive the basis on equal and indivisible security tried at the highest level in o. s. c. documents. according to this principle, no one is to strengthen their own security at the expense of others. and the very last a proposal to make these agreements legally binding something that we introduce in

december 2021. and the reaction was an arrogant rejection of that. the incapacity of western countries to negotiate and the continued war by the key of regime against their own people left was no choice, but to recognize they dependence of the dentist and the lugens, the people's republic, and start a special measure operation to protect the russian and other people on don boss and so as to remove the threats against our security, which nato had been consistently creating in ukraine at our borders. the operation is conducted in pursuance of agreements on friendship corporation, mutual assistance between us and that republic. and on the basis of article $51.00 of the un charter. i am convinced that a nice over and self respecting state would do the same in our stead estate would understands his responsibility shows, levels of to his own people. their west is now throwing a fit,

big cause of the referenda which are being conducted in the elegance good on. it's got gov and supper was all blessed. but people living there basically on reacting to what was said to them by the head of the key of regime. mister zalinski in august 2021. at the time, he said, anyone who feels themselves to be russian for the benefit of their children and grandchildren to get out and to go to russia on that's what the inhabitants of those regions are doing. i'm the taking. they are a land with them where their ancestors had been living for hundreds of years. any unbiased observer i can see very clearly the anglo saxon, so fully subjugated europe for them. ukraine is just an expandable material. as they are fighting against russia. nato declared that our country is an immediate threat to on there a way to total domination. and the long term threat will be the p. r. c. the same

time collect if west headed by washington is sending frightening signals to other countries saying, any one who disobeys can be next toyota. one of the consequences of the crusade by the west against the objection of balls is the grown growing decline of multilateral institutions. they have been turned by the united states and allies into tools to implement their own selfish interests. this is something that is being pursued at the un human rights council, unesco and other multilateral institutions. the organizational april had prohibition of chemical weapons has basically been privatized. fierce attempts are being made to prevent crating with any kind of action on biological and talks and weapons over mechanism, which would ensure transparency, we're hundreds, military biological programs of the pentagon has around the world, including on the perimeter of our country and throughout eurasia. and these

programs are far from harmless. this is irrefutable. according to the facts that we came to in the ukraine, there isn't a search of line to privatize. so the u. s. secretariat introducing us into its work neo liberal narrative, which ignores the cultural and civilization of multifaceted nature of the world. we call upon making sure that we follow the charter and ensure a farrah geographical representation of member states. making sure that there is no one single country dominant in the secretariat. an impossible situation was simply created by washington having to do with the obligation all the host country over a headquarters agreement to ensure was normal conditions for the participation of all member states in you and work. the obligations under this whole country agreement are also placed on the secretary general. any negativity is unacceptable

. rules concerned by the efforts made by countries who are undermining the prerogatives of security cause them. and of course the causal un have to be alive to contemporary realities. we see the prospect of making the security council more democratic, exclusively, exclusively the rule broadening the representation of all the countries from africa, asia, and latin america. we know to india and brazil in particular as key international actors and worthy candidates for permanent membership within the causal. whilst at the same time, unilaterally and mandatorily raising the profile of africa. it is very important today to make sure that all members stays unequivocally without reservations reaffirm their commitment of the purposes and principles of the charter as a 1st and necessary step to restore collective responsibility for the fate of human kind. and that was the reason why in july 2021,

a group of friends to support the charter was created and go sponsor of the group was russia and had no counts. $32.20 trace. the goal here is to make sure that there is stricter, abiding, too, with universal norms of international law to counterbalance unilateral approaches and way a call call upon every one to join in. and in this context, a great potential is possessed by such organizations as the non aligned movement breaks. as seo and niecy on the western colleagues are very aggressive and imposing their understanding of democracy as a way of organizing, ah, life to all countries categorically, do not want to be guided by democratic norms and international affairs and very good example. the situation in ukraine, again, it would seem to be that russia justified its position has been justifying it

for years and road war. the west. they disagree. okay, well, let other members of the international community designed for themselves what their position would be on the side along on the side of others or neutral. that's what happens in democracies when politicians opposing each other a defender, their viewpoints and tried to of convey to others by the united states and allies. do not give the freedom of choice to any one. they threatened that twist the arms of anyone who dares think for themselves and to demand by threats that dep countries join in with anti russian sanctions. it doesn't work very well, but it is very clear that these acts by i'm united states and a satellite is not democracy. it's pure unadulterated dictatorship on attempts to impose and we're left with a strong impression that the washington and subjugated europe are trying to keep,

or they are disappearing. had gemini, using the diploma prohibited means. diplomacy constant is being replaced by illegal sanctions against competitors, economic sports, information area culture, and did generally in context with people. lead a turn to the id to the problem with the visas for delegates for international meetings in new york, geneva, vienna, and paris. there also, we see the desire to remove competition, make sure that alternative viewpoints do not comment multilateral discussions. i am convinced that we need to protect the un and does scrape everything that confrontational and superficial from there, and give it back as reputation and an honest platform to a siege for balance for all member states. and this is the approach that we're guided up when we put forward our national initiatives. it is of principal importance to make sure that we have a comparative homesafe, comprehensive ban.
