making essential daily purchases, increasingly unaffordable and problems of the banking sector have meant some struggle to access their own money. all in response to the banking crisis, people have transitioned to a cash based economy. that means the government's been deprived of billions of dollars. busy in tax revenue making illegal activity easier. jana hotter has more from beirut. lebanon has become a cash economy. it's the result of a 4 year old financial crisis brought about by decades of mismanagement and corruption. the banking sector is crippled, and the country is close to bankruptcy. it's the biggest threat that the government and the country is facing because it is a very, very, very dangerous that the entire economy as a cash economy, all the money is going to the private sector. the solution is only in one place that is to normalize and finalize the restructuring of the banking system. law.

restructuring is one of the reforms required for much needed international support to revive the economy. but that means the political and business elite will have to compromise their hold on power, something they have resisted so far. in the meantime, money transfer companies have stepped in as have other financial institutions, many of which are not regulated. 50 to 60 percent of the daughter d, d p. actually considered to be in the shadow economy. so outside the states, this includes 2 types of activities. you have information activities, which means enterprises who do not declare the employee is that they have to declare their exact revenues, but also you have the elicit part of these activities. this is causing concern, particularly among western nations. that tracking elicit cash transactions will

become more difficult compromise in the fight against money laundering and the financing of armed groups. an estimated $8000000000.00 is exchanging hands outside the radar of this state. that includes an illegal activity such as smuggling across the border to syria. the informal economy is also growing. the international labor organization estimates that 60 percent of the workforce is not taxed and doesn't benefit from social protection. the government is unable to provide services and its struggles to pay public servants, although the salaries are negligible, given inflation. and with a cash economy means big losses. the government loses around 20 to 25 percent of expected revenues because of corruption, bribery, and tax evasion. all the while many war in lebanon is operating outside the international financial system. zanna could their elders either beirut is in,

is on the survey route where processors have been voicing their anger at the government. she's joining this life. so the frustration is growing and no signs of the government is able to fix the problem. yes, year for of an economic collapse. the currency is now worthless. the devaluation started in late 2019, but in recent weeks there was a sharp evaluation. the central bank intervenes now and again to try to regulate the market by pumping millions of dollars. but many experts will say this is not solving the crisis. the li, ross value recover sydel and then it depreciates yes again. and what the central bank is using is dwindling. foreign currency reserves money that belongs to the depositors who have been locked out of their accounts in back. there is anger. people believe that the political and business leads. if you can see many here are public public sector servants. they believe that the political and business of the

they do not want to solve the crisis. because solving the crisis will involve economic reforms. structural reforms fighting corruption, if the business and political elite do that, then they lose control over the states and its resources which they have been exploiting for years now. many believe the solution is with an i m f deal. but like i said, those in power are refusing to carry out the reforms necessary for that deal to be made. so this is a dollar hungry country because it imports more than 90 percent of of what it needs and people's salaries are now worthless. people tell you that they have had to make choices like change their diets. people have transferred their children from private to public schools, but the public education sector has all but collapse more often than not. public schools are closed because teachers are on strike. people no longer use their cars,

they can't afford fuel. even public transportation is too expensive for them. also, they're now using one, almost starting healthcare leap will have lost their insurance, and the government is unable to provide services. it's unable to provide electricity unable, really to meet the basic needs, love the population, and advisable to a portion of the population who earn in the local currency. yes, there's like 30 percent maybe who are in a dollars, but the rest are struggling. so the economy continues to collapse for years, they enter this crisis, the politicians are, have done nothing to come up with their economic recovery plan. and in the interim, there's also political crisis. the country does not have a president or a government, a functioning governments in order to carry out those reforms. so an economic and political crisis and no and insides. zanna, thank you very much. and he does in

peninsula destroyed russian missiles, according to ukraine's defense ministry. they were intended to be used by moscow's black sea fleet. the russia administrator of john choir has said the city had come under attack from drones. we're going to bring in journalists, julia shuffle volleyball from moscow. what are you hearing about this in moscow? was just had from russia's defense minister saying the b morning that the morning attempt to hit russian targets in crimea and 7 total with 3 trends. all devices were destroyed by 2 women offices, both well received state awards. so this is the laces from saturday showing good. the russian defense minister, basically the rest of the information we have on the so let's talk when that time comes. could see over governor of us total and the high resident jive and his telegram channel. so the truth trying to get into the bay that's according to the

dr. russian, the russian sailors fire fired small arms at them and there were no casualties, but some windows and into residential buildings were blown out. g, 2 explosions caused by destroy drains. and after successfully repulsing the drone of tacos, have a stop. all the ukrainian knots is according to resume shot again on his telegram channel, they launched an information at tank, but the crimea is safe according to the governor. and if anything, basically anything dangerous of going to happen, that people will be informed by the authorities. and this is not the 1st recent talk by ukrainian trends in crimea, as we know not so long ago, a massive tried by several ukrainian u. a. b was carried out in john coy on the crime in peninsula late monday evening on march the 20th and at least 6 of the chinese move in 5 time equipped with

explosives or use them that hug and local authorities report that to submit an objects were damaged one pass was head, the russia side says most of the trends or intercepts. meanwhile, the ministry of defense of ukraine announced the destruction of a russian caliber cruise missiles, which were transported by rail. an article in newspaper, most coffee comes from all its russian analyst. among other reasons, pointed out that the talk was a deliberate provocation by ukraine times to coincide with caesar. she's a visit to moscow and just to show that the russian ad defense systems were not capable to defend local civilian population. so basically, junko is a major transportation hub where all the railways of the peninsula converge and the damage could cause great logistical difficulties for the russian army unit. thank you very much to jewish out of moscow,

which means president cheesy thing has left moscow after those 2 days of talk with president vladimir putin. the 2 leaders issued a joint statement and tuesday, calling for the responsible dialogue to end the war in ukraine, who says beijing's proposals and the conflict could be used as the basis for peace settlement. but the key, even the west do not appear willing to resolve the situation is katrina, your report is likely the chinese leader will be pleased with the meeting. john keegan pain has quite successfully. i think use this visit as a platform to promote china as piece plan. now, putin said himself that they would discuss this and, and both sides during this meeting. so they would both wanted to more, to promote dialogue, to prevent this conflict in ukraine from escalating. now it's clear that there was no concrete outcomes in terms of improving the situation in ukraine bought. what matches to be doing is that she didn't being at least appeared to be a global statement statement and peacemaker during this trip. and the 2nd thing

that aging has achieved, well, it really is the optics and your sticks were that this is a strong trying us supporting and propping up a weak russia. and it does seem that putin was the junior partner here needing, she didn't king. now we didn't see trying to crossing any red lines offering, for example, military support to russia. china, so very much needs to preserve the health of its relationship, especially economically with you. but at the same time, we did see china supporting vladimir putin throwing his weight behind him and needing russia to stay strong, no matter how ukraine war ends. and this is because china desperately needs a russia not to fail and put in to remain in power for the increasing confrontation that it finds itself in its increasing tensions against the united states that needs moscow to be strong and, and back there in its corner as that situation with us seems to be getting worse.
