exists anywhere else in the world and certainly is and she despite all of the tensions around us are still not fighting and level and there's no leadership and there's no decisions this is from another central bank governor this is guide or so of the perlis is that we have in the whole region because when the ban on that this somehow reflected in politics this this will of eliminating the other way you are to blame your part of the system of the system that is most broken down one completely unknown the denying there were a lot of global and collective responsibility last october thousands of demonstrators angry and frightened called for an end to political corruption and for a new untainted set of politicians to run the country toppled to the fray she's in rapid succession. the protest movement cuts across religious and political lines with demands for the recovery of stolen funs and for the corrupt to be held accountable and there was plenty to account for years of squalor in the streets as
2:46 pm
politicians bickered over garbage collection contracts and electricity failed for hours on end month after month among those being called out for criticism was that hezbollah movement the self-styled party of god financed by iran and they didn't like it. let's talk about only long massive street protests that we've seen in lebanon in recent months one moment you seemed to be listening to them then you claimed with no evidence that they were being exploited by the u.s. and israel and then last october you said you were thugs to beat up the demonstrators because they dared to criticize your leaders absolutely and. i'm no i'm sorry i'm sort of them i didn't i don't know you like that i'm not i don't know that he was sure that we send our people do other proof it was widely reported that one of the time when we went against the you know value and widely you know the media. unit in the media i mean the media this is
2:47 pm
a massive photo measure there we don't make it out i can tell you i live in the most i would know about it get up around i live here i tell you. i tell you do it we are not part of those who suppress the people and we are with the masses we are with those who are the ones that i think we want to protect them we have the same issue actually we consider mr mousavi in december your supporters attacked an anti-government protest camp in central beirut and the army had to be called in to disperse the groups around the same time you and your allies from amal targeted other anti-government protest camps in different parts of lebanon so much for listening to the demonstrators and heeding their demands you beat them up. i can simply say this is not the way as a rule or whether you like it or dislike it represents a large component of a society it's a main political party political actor levanon and everybody is welcome to join and help us in this whether directly being involved directly supportive or not
2:48 pm
supportive of the government let's see for the observers turner observers and external observers like you if you succeed you say this and i hear what you say why should the west lift a finger to help a government that's effectively being constructed by hizbullah which is widely viewed around the. set are you saying is a point of view it's not absolute reality hezbollah is widely seen around the world as a terrorist cell and as a now ization is not seen around the concert by some but it is not what this some i don't agree with this view you may disagree either logically politically strategically with a lebanese political party or libya's national resistance movement that's your right to do so but it's a major represent a major component of the of any society social component and political component what i'm saying take us to a test as a government telling our western countries with which you are committed to develop
2:49 pm
the best out of relations culturally politically socially economically strategically with the western countries are very close to most of those countries you have very good relations are trying to develop to deepen strengthen and a lot of these western countries take us to test about what you are doing what you are planning to do that in about what is said here or there or about any ideological sloganeering or at the logical views according to the drug enforcement agency has been increasingly relies on criminal revenue from the why do re of sources that include the lebanese diaspora group members affiliates that such are the organization is even competed for money laundering contracts in the same. as for colombian drug cartels and other criminal organizations so you belong with some shady new groups on the international crime scene don't you. your god continue to mention only if you want to continue this episode as long as you want you can
2:50 pm
continue to mention as much as you want of examples but this is not going to change the truth that these are things are put in the most of the western media against hezbollah against any. religious stance move against any resistance group in order to distort the image in order to justify and he suggests against that you asked for examples i gave you so let's talk if we my about your support for the assad government by scholl assad in syria despite its shocking disregard for human life especially civilians you could hardly claim of what they've been doing or don't you the party of god have anything to say about policies of rape torture and extermination that. his forces have been carrying out you've got no principles no red lines as far as that sort of behavior is concerned. let me ask you about the
2:51 pm
western media about your government of the western governments of the united states governments and what they did to the israelis who crush the people every day who are bipolar star and who buy parts of lebanon who buy parts of the golan heights and who continue to occupy also they want the next part of jordan and the parts of all the other places i mean if we ask those questions in other programs i'm talking to you or not as i'm talking to you about hezbollah because you represent hezbollah and i'm asked why you are silent why you support hezbollah regime in syria will the faeries out extermination policies towards its own people will think of a cause we'll fight think we'll we'll we'll we we're fighting create a group who beheaded people who took the hearts of people who caused g. the children who made and the elation this is we were fighting with a clearly groups it was a priority because they came and they got it digressions against our part of the
2:52 pm
country you know we had a wide open issue as i hear is the north lebanon is lebanon mr those are we lost a critically important thing is that by lending mr assad your support you became complicit in everything he did and these crimes against humanity the u.n. high commissioner for human rights in syria got a torture chamber they are complicit they are complicit with the with mohammad been said about all of those there are threats that this is making in yemen. the united states and britain and all governments who are complicit so it's the west's fault along with everyone else's lots of blame to be shared around so much in fact that it doesn't actually stick to any one party's take responsibility in name only and they stay in their posts whatever mistakes all crimes they've committed it's a system of accountability but with 0 consequences except of course for the people who have to live with all the criminality and incompetence poverty and hunger small
2:53 pm
wonder that their patience is close to exhausted. how long do you expect people to wait for these rights that you're promising these reforms that you're probably seeing the end to corruption and has apparently. our looted money give us back our looted money this is what they say when one of the people of lebanon going to get back i know we are very much we are very much aware and committed to that it's not the government that lot of the money before it's not business government that created the situation that was before but however we are committed to do all what we can with our friends again saying inside and outside reach into everybody in order to get out of this vicious destructive circle that lebanon found itself in i understand very legitimate frustration as well as the very legitimate demands of the iranis population of which i'm a member i mean any citizen before being everybody is official we understand these
2:54 pm
problems we have to get together and try to get out of this very difficult situation at least we have a commitment and the clarity that we need to get out of this difficult situation so i ask where are the reforms why aren't you pushing for them you blame the system i'm arguing looking of all sort of ways of having you in government if you don't bring it out this ailments i'm talking talking about the ailments of the system that has been going on going on for so many years i mean for decades now we have reached we should be held responsible for what happened about these responsible for those who are in the government we are part of the government we don't deny our responsibility we have to embrace our full responsibility of this we were there to take part in the small responsibility but the still when you talk about the kind of reforms that we want to do they should be structural we are all component of the mosaic of components of constituencies in the lebanese society we take our share of
2:55 pm
the responsibilities and they should be blamed for. they did if you even just a few of those comforting words from our politicians have been turned into action then lebanon might look very different from the way it does today but no single political figure or faction appears to have the oath or a teacher bring about fundamental change and there's little chance of the different groups agreeing on a single course of action as for the people many say they believe if they could food prices have skyrocketed unemployment is rife the banks have severely limited access to save. for now 2 important questions hang on so the over lebanon can the cash strapped west afford to give it the emergency support it needs and then i highly volatile region like this with conflict never far from the surface come it really afford not.
