we achieved stability in the region see on is positioning itself as a negotiator. it's cold for all 5 today, escalates warning, a miscalculation could lead to open conflict. and a quick reminder of the top story we're following for you at this hour. a russian court has sentenced us basketball star, brittany griner to 9 years in prison, or drug possession and smuggling. she was found guilty of carrying cannabis oil it to russia. white house, as greiner was wrongfully detained, and his calling for immediate release. that's all for me for now, phil gammon will be back with more news headlines with our with awe and he tags along to this visual spots in germany,

europe and the world d. w. travel extremely, we're in a been ah! ah! tripoli in northern lebanon, the poorest city in the country, and located around 30 kilometers from the syrian border. most of the shops in the center are closed down. a booming business just 2 years ago. today, the gold market district resembles a ghost town. the only customers now our residence looking to cash in their remaining belongings here. hey, i came to sell you this ring and this 12, that's 18. carrot gold. this pensioner is parting with her last items of jewelry.

they're all she has to ensure her survival. i'm going, our situation is terrible. our government is letting us die, not to shame about the jewelry, but i have 4 children to feed me $155.00. that's all for you. okay, then? so i've got some silva too. she's selling her husband's wedding ring to buy some food for her family. yes, did he get a bison flat rice bull gun and a bit of meat? may god help us candy never left with tripoli is bearing the full brunt of the economic crisis that has crippled the country. not $5000.00 for a bunch of charged me. a few stalls still have a full range of products on offer, but the price is of food have shot up. how much is the fish? $70000.00 pounds, we've dropped the price by $5000.00 with thanks. how much for the chicken legs

through the 40000 pounds and the next sell for 28000 over. we used to feed them to the doctor today. we'd them ourselves on the chicken legs and the fish fillet cost $15.00 times more than they did 2 years ago. but while prices are going through the roof, wages across lebanon have remained static, and as seen in tripoli, getting enough to eat that has become a daily challenge. trouble. i just imagine back in the days of our former prime minister who the government now calls incompetent, get this bag of rice cars, 2500 pounds today. it's 7 times that. how's that supposed to work? how a poor people in this country supposed to 8 of the 128 representatives or rather complete idiots. there's not a single one of them who's decent and humane, hopefully my field dummy oh, raging discontent has been building now for several years. on october 17th, 2019,

it exploded for the 1st time since the end of the civil war, a broad cross section of lebanese society joined together and took to the streets in unison to demand that the corrupt government resigned. it wasn't so long ago when lebanon was described as the switzerland of the middle east. the economy was strong, and the country attracted investment from all around the globe. the small country shares borders with syria and israel. for decades now, government cabinet positions have been assigned by religious affiliation and distributed among christians, sunni muslims, and shia muslims. a delicate compromise that had long been stable but everything changed in 2019 the banking system collapsed. investors and dollars fled the country. inflation rose to higher than 140 per cent,

the highest rate in the world at that time. if we only in the course of what we stand in, the lebanese pound or lira lost to 90 per cent of its value. lots of monopoly money would have appeared the monopoly. this unprecedented crisis has plunged a large portion of lebanon's population into poverty. see the pelican if it hadn't been for the christian community, they would have starved literally starved or molded. the government failed to maintain investments. now electricity is supplied for just a few hours each day. that's lebanon to day. and for over a decade now, lebanon has also had to master an influx of 1500000 refugees from syria, some blame the government for driving the country to bankruptcy. also, given its supposed control over entire sectors. this is one of the last corrupted areas. love even 11 am. i mean,

even 1000000 of us. the crisis has re ignited tensions between the different religious groups. for many lebanese, their last resort is to leave the country. hands up if you want to lead lebanon off to college, it's the only hope of a better future, and reflects a lebanon fighting for its survival. this is osher of yea, a christian district of a root father gabrielle, is getting ready to say mass. he's catholic, a jesuit and french speaking like his congregation and the majority of the countries christian middle class. people come here to do more than hear the word of the lord. many are also in attendance to hear the critical words of the priests

sermons. these all she, today's gospel is really timely. what should we do? good christmas is just around the corner and we can only hope for the penitence of our political class. you can only hope that our political class asks in the sense of saint john, what should we do? he would tell them, give back the money you stole and leave this land. go work on your hands on the french riviera. i won't say more because i want to sleep in my bed and you do too long goose. gabrielle makes politically charged digressions like this because he's experiencing the crisis 1st hand. you'll make this, you've gotten to them. i'll give you 10 kilos of mile every week the priest leaves bay route and travels to because a mountainous region and the eastern part of the country.

just like he does every time he gets in his car, gabrielle checks the fuel gauge. they come and the answer, every time the tank is down, the to 13 get gas so it doesn't feel like you're paying so much that will mother up please. the price of gas has risen $6.00 fooled within one year. but how much my brother? 300000 t go even. i got thanks while so we're fil again for you 300000. let's math lesson seafood. so, 20 leaders of gas costs half the monthly minimum income in lebanon, exorbitant prices that severely limit the ability of people to get from a to b. said the last, it's amazing is hardly any traffic for what it gets. imagine the off to tree off in harris at rush hour on a monday with about 2 thirds fewer cars i lent deals of the plant. i think that's

the way it is here. what is this is settled on some deadly ells. consternation stems from the fact that 3 years ago, lebanon was doing pretty well. gasoline was cheap. people had worked, the currency was stable. today, it's all falling apart. and members of the country's middle class are among the 1st to lose out. they'd been called the nuvo pope, the new poor after a 2 hour drive. father gabriella arrives. exactly. since the start of the crisis, the christian city of $80000.00 residence has become a ghost town. there's not

a soul to be seen on the traditional shopping street. the elderly and isolated residents are experiencing the worst societal degradation in their history. a local charity group helps the poorest of the poor. gabrielle lends a hand with its members every week. how are you, father? and i find thanks keith. we've got a lot to do today. mother the hook to the biggest of our goal is to get hungry. people who don't have money, something to eat because they're prepared meals, dental fits because of these. here are the salads. so here we have desserts. as of it and visit and those are the warm meal jelly. bless rookie so not to day. father gabrielle is working alongside of rashida of let's go to jeanette. she's on it. i put everything on the table for you when, when and how about the bills? this friday, you can share my brothers help me and every month they give me a little money. i'm gonna pay with god bless you have my sister. the charity

supports more than $200.00 families. when where can i put this a good. i long. hello, kathy. gate, how are you? i my dear father. thank you for coming. thank you. i see a letter in lebanon pensions can be paid out monthly or be received in a one time payment. isabella was a teacher for 30 years and chose the lump sum option. 300 euros, wasn't it's lovely here in missouri. delia missed the who we used to be better off and could buying heating oil and weren't and now everything's extremely expensive. the i have trouble with my eyes and need injections, but a single injection costs 800000 pounds. plus the doctor's fee of $350000.00. he didn't give me the injection this month because i couldn't pay for the one from

last month of. so what if you missed an injection that i lo huh. he prescribed drops and sent that i should come back in 6 weeks. time may give it the 9. what can i do given how can you live like this on the i think if, when you only earn a quarter of what you spent an abundance of the bill, i'm masterful. not to vouch. study, can each injection cost the equivalent of $50.00 euros. gabrielle does all he can to help her. i can here take the 300000. that's for the shots. it's from jeezy. esl had them on this thanks. it's too much. at the end of the street, they find greater hardship and rage. this family has lived here for 20 years. the father used to be a painter. he's jobless. now. in the current economic situation, it's impossible to find another job. they simply have no income. inside there's

a tiny kitchen, a toilet, and a living room, which the entire family also uses as a bedroom. and the refrigerator is desperately bare. come over. what do you do when you want to make a meal for the family? oh, sometimes i go to the market and the vendors give me food. they haven't sold for tele otherwise. they're still the johan a restaurant. we can get some food that to appreciate exam gog isn't forgetting us . well, maybe dubbed it. he said he has, the mother puts her faith in god while her husband looks to human assistance such as that provided by gabrielle. oh. how do you use the heating? let her alone. so it's the so forth a little humpty? no, it's just the shows. huh. does he be awesome? she, on the law that he doesn't make you mad that the state doesn't take care of you. the fear that we have a lover? what can i say? i don't have any work. and i've got 5 people debate, i'm john nickel. and if not,

if you have this date, this date. sure. what's the date that we'd stop without the help of these charities? like if you were working before the crisis, you could pay your electric bill? no trouble with the inflation we have today. that's impossible. it's far too expensive, homes, me, how are you supposed to manage without going out on the street and begging on it either militia, really what 36 percent of the population lives and extreme poverty. that's nearly 5 times more than 2 years ago. so the community, what would have happened to this family without the christian community? cuz they would have starved. he's literally literally starved, neat gun or mold if lucy, well yeah, allow my should communities across the country, whether christian muslim or drew's are relying on local charity to survive. nobody saw this kind of brutal economic collapse coming in which for many people daily

life has become a nightmare within just 2 years. and should have fought a southern suburb of a root. we visit a grocery store. brianna has been running the shop for the last 4 years. the ongoing crisis in the country has seen him become a master of improvisation. fluffy, got up, there's no electricity anymore. so i can't shut my blinds anymore. domestic mom is sexual. now he has a new morning ritual. no. so once i get here, if i turn on the phone and check the dollar exchange rate law dollars a dish. the lira and the dollar have always existed side by side and lebanon's economy until 2019 the exchange rate between the 2. currencies was stable with $1.00 equal to $1500.00 pounds. the exchange rate changes daily. on this morning,

a dollar was worth $21000.00 pounds, almost 15 times more than 2 years ago. a day man bought the dollar right, keeps rising. so supply prices rising to well after continually adjust my prices. you can you give me the calculator machine as your own low ok mix? well, that's, di makes 1.2 liters. sub ghosts today. cost 16800 pounds. so we put 80 percent onto that and ok. price it at $19800.00. 24. pounds, putting this a 1000 me out of our scene. that's how he's now pricing is products which even he has trouble finding. the state is only providing one to 2 hours of electricity a day in this area to keep frozen foods from spoiling ryanne has had to make further adjustments out about my finance company selling products that make people

sick. so i decided to only keep using one fried that and unplug the rest. i've also had to reduce my selection as if by magic, the electricity comes back on at noon. c the staff can get back to work as normal eggs, potatoes, and that's all for more than a year. now, re odd. hasn't earned a proper profit at his shop. some months. he doesn't even break even. ah, lebanon is currently a shadow of its former self in more ways than one they. ruth was once the night light capital of the middle east. but for most those all night parties are now a distant memory. with the dollar has become

a scarce commodity in lebanon with a series of foreign investors left the country in 2019 due to dwindling confidence in the lebanese government. their departure sparks, the nations financial collapse. the lira lost almost to 90 percent of its value with lebanon's banks set severe withdrawal limits for those lebanese who had dollars. the aim was supposedly to prevent the state going bankrupt. rebecca hasn't had any access to some of her bank accounts since 2019 so here it says guard limit exceeded. so i cannot to draw anymore as if i exceeded the limits. but i haven't to enjoy any of the others in more than one year. so yes, tracy, she does have more than $10000.00 on this account. but in light of the situation in

lebanon, it's impossible to say if that money still exists. because you had $31.00 fresh one, not you and others and one live and you know, whether you're good, fresh, fresh dollars is all the daughters that were transferred from outside after 2019. the other daughter is the one to suck into bank. this is everything that you have done it before, 2019. you can also do any of any, any oh go to just see it. and we're going to, the only rest you can with these fresh dollars are akin to the holy grail. for those who have access to them, they come from outside the country and are now worth a fortune when exchanged against the d valued local currency. they've led to the development of a new privilege, social class, or next stop as a beach resort. nearby truen, an hour's drive north of a route. here there are

a number of people who have been left unscathed by the crisis. the big supermarket chains are still crowded. if they're gone, why do you, joseph? now in his early forty's moved here 4 years ago, this is my village. i'm here often where show up at about 3 or 4 times a week in joseph as a sales representative at an international pharmaceutical company. and he gets his monthly salary in dollars. what found the, where are the right promoters? nice. ripe ones. ok, thanks to those fresh dollars. joseph and his wife romane, now live like royalty, and ruin lebanon. down call, expensive now, in lebanon. well, did you live in? yes, we are not lebanese. the by no, i n,

but lebanese with fresh money. so essentially, you can also, when you type of lebanese new type of lebanese before it was like for $10.00, only the bottom. now for the really beneath its like a 2000, they cannot afford it anymore. it's nothing for me. 2000 lire. josephs, monthly salary as $3000.00 or $60000000.00 lebanese pounds. have you become rich? yes. i've gotten rid of a new race. when we're buying every day items we don't look at the price anymore. rolled me as a primary school teacher, she's paid and lebanese pound without joseph dollars. she wouldn't manage to get by now the couple have no reason to worry when they approach the check out there. bill today, 685000 pounds less typical. that's equivalent to $30.00 about equal to the minimum

monthly wage and living on a minimum wage that is limited by a factor of 15 and 2 years. it's now lower than the minimum income in afghanistan. joseph and his wife have built a house in this residential area in the hills above the truen. they started the undertaking in 2017 when they took out a 20 year mortgage for $50000000.00 lebanese pounds. but with a local currency collapsing, their 150 square meter house, cost them only about $2500.00. it was a thumb they paid back into month me. your threats are there are 3 rooms on and a 4th room on the upper floor in the back. but the shop were using it as a storage room right now on the chamber. we have 3 floors. so o twice does she see this sunday? they've invited friends to lunch. oh,

i joseph receives his guests with a meal fit for royalty. they need, i think, more than minutes. he wants to share his new well with others. in a very rummy is of public servant, for example. each month he's paid and lebanese power of issued. so for this friend of the couple buying a $6.00 bottle of wine was a huge expense. it allowed me to print gym to rebut. marsha de la, i get paid about 80 or $85.00 a month. that's enough to fill the car twice with gas indoor hub benzene before then. i owned about $1200.00, lost many now about $80.00. the difference is enormous. unify me, despite the inflation and lebanon wages have never been adjusted f l i, as the friends make a toast of joseph adds up,

hang in there. only about 13 percent of the lebanese population are paid in dollars. every one else is paying a hefty bill for this crisis. the absurdity of the situation has driven some to campaign for a fairer economy. rebecca has an appointment with her lawyer. as usual, there is no power across the country. you'll hear the same reaction if something through the law that's lebanon today. she said a year ago, rebecca decided to file a lawsuit against her bank for illegally withholding her dollars. it would suggest that what happened, what will be supposed to have an appointment at b plus banking? this is yes, but they cancelled it. i don't know when we'll be able to resume proceedings in the

novel. unfortunately, nothing is moving in our direction at the moment, but we shouldn't give up letting oh, good job. and i was like, no, there's no law allowing this informal freeze on her and other people savings a they came and fixed that so anyway, the banks were closed for weeks because of the protests is all over. and when they opened, after 2 weeks, there was nothing left on june mafia. if we're really dealing with a mafia that decided to steal people's money by transferring it to their own accounts abroad. if you are these people, holla, titian's bank is, and the governor of the central bank is henri ad salome. if we pci the monkey, i reckon it's the biggest scam in history. we're talking here about $100000000.00. not that just disappeared law. when i'll hand, if i did the saw me out the last you on this matter a political and business elite is being blamed for impoverishing the country to benefit their private interests. in 2019 a french broadcaster asked the governor of the central bank rayon salami about the

money that had been wired abroad. lady very phyllis reynolds fed exists in lebanon, were free to transfer money. the video fee dump were under $3.00, but were examining events from an ethical standpoint to see it politically exposed . persons who transferred money abroad used their positions in a way that might constitute an abuse of power in an abuse. a cause that are fully short ironically, rayon. salami is himself, one of the people accused of taking part in this massive capital flight as a private, individual, missouri. so he and his brother have around $300000000.00 on one of their bank accounts in switzerland. so is that consistent with his bank salary? it's certainly not the lebanese banking sector is said to have been functioning for decades like a ponzi or pyramid scheme. a fraudulent financial scam that promises very

attractive interest in order to pay the latter. the banks use the money they get from new customers, but when that source of money dries up, the pyramid collapses. when the 1st investors fled lebanon, the entire country ended up paying that right. where the, the thong from there are people like rebecca's parents who worked their whole lives long and thought and we saves money for our retirement or to allow our children to study abroad of volume and now they're left with nothing. the whole thing is the bank heist of the centurylink. so who so yeah, lakisha, 2nd in 2016, a study showed that 90 percent of the majority shareholders and lebanese banks were relatives of politicians. ah, nepotism of this kind has already had devastating consequences. oh.

on august 4th, 2020 warehouse number 12 exploded in the port of bay root it's contents 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate. a highly flammable and explosive fertilizer restored unattended loo. the horrific accident destroyed entire districts of the capitol within a radius of several kilometers. in total, it left $218.00 people dead, and more than 6 and a half 1000 injured. to the surprise of some, after the disaster, the president of lebanon appealed to the resilience of the lebanese people, rather than focusing on an emergency plan. but, you know, with the young ladies and gentlemen, that was a day favorite, is trying to raise itself from the ruins, and you need to cram with the efforts of every single lebanese and with their

support. the city's wounds will heal to them and it will rise again, just as it has always done in its history. cohen all that mirror around october 30th. ah, the relatives of the victims have yet to find peace even today. on the 4th day of every month, they gather at the board to remember their loved ones. for that game today is my jessica's birthday. i know what it's like when a mother cannot celebrate, had daughter's birthday. ah, no home at all in the space of seconds. my soulmate, my wife, had been taken from me recently. had i spent 34 years with her, so in the mob. ah, the issue is a highly sensitive one. with many blaming the government.

the subsequent investigation was entrusted to direct baton. a judge said to be incorruptible, a remedy, and lebanon. man, all i want is justice, and i hope judge be tar, sees this through to the end. all of us here support him. i had the initial goal of that. but the tars investigation got bogged down this day, march the 3rd time, it was suspended. members of the government who refused to be questioned, would obstructing his work through legal challenges. i mean, not the judge knows the truth and we know exactly who killed these victims and blew up. the port had been bad one, no matter what was done. and there is one man in the country who has a special degree of interest in this case. oh, hello. oh yes. before we better than been working with another lead shannon's beyond kobe's, he is an investigative journalist who is relentlessly trying to get to the bottom

of the countries corruption every morning his drive to work takes him past the port . ah, a is here somewhere here. idle from the outside know from the inside because i'm on the logo. yet, according to kobe, see, several members of the government knew for years about the ammonium nitrate being stored at the port. this is one of the most corrupted areas. love, even 11. am i being in the universe like the black hole of corruption. this is the next and this place is kind like of a microcosm of level is up, but i did my, my famine appointed by my fears, elected them filthy forces. you cannot be appointed there. so only that you have to be affiliated with

a certain part or the other. some people actually love some people them. most of them made a lot of money in order to be appointed here. for example, one comes for the custom controller with all calculations used to be fade like $2000.00 per day. they bare day. and if he got only $2000.00 bill they, he would be pissed. according to official statistics, the port earns about $200000000.00 us dollars in income annually. kobe's. he says that without the corruption, that figure would be close to $25000000000.00. the journalist takes risks that he takes on the powerful after one of his investigations, he was physically attacked a few years ago by a port official. since then, he's been taking precautions my own surveillance system. there are like con cams and part of the car just to make sure that in case anyone decided to attack me,

just to have my story documented. his wife is a presenter with the same broadcaster. ah, miss lilly, how are you proud of his work? we may, yes, but sometimes he gives me headaches. i might add a death. why? that's good because it's dangerous. i'm afraid something bad will happen. yucca shows to my employer. yeah. leanne. he's scared for you. yeah, i mean, i'm sending him a, as in every time i'm sending him, beth beth, it's awesome. you're never going to change your wish. i thought you ought to act like a gazelle didn't talk. why i'm of you. and kobe's, he refuses to be intimidated. the journalist has published the results of his investigation of the port blast online. his website features the faces of politicians linked to the incident and makes all the evidence he's collected

available. that includes a letter written by colonel joseph's gaff. back in 2014, the customs official had already been sounding the alarm. ah, there's a ship by the name of ross of stockton. key number 11 in the port of beirut on board is a large cargo of a dangerous explosive. the constitutes of danger to public safety. we ask that the ship be removed from the king. ultimately, no action was taken. the colonel died and suspicious circumstances in march 2017 despite suspicions of murder. the investigation said the cause of death was an accidental fall. this combination of fed through ridge of incompetence and negligence of corruption. this is the pure mixture of the bomb but itself. i know that there's a lot of corruption in mexico may be and many other counties what not like and live

on. why? because there are countries where they're like dominant mafias by level on this cult is owned by the mafia. so they all were called a country drifting, rudderless. and to make matters worse, it's hungry. in this situation, just the tiniest spark could cause tensions to escalate and explode. which is what happened in october 2021 followers of the shia amal movement, which is allied with the powerful has ball a party, were demonstrating in front of the palace of justice. they demanded that the christian judge direct, but tar be withdrawn from investigating the explosion at the port. they accused him of being under the influence of foreign powers. and in particular of targeting, she a politician's sectarianism

the plague lebanon was back. late in the afternoon, heavily armed demonstrators went to the entrance of the christian quarter in bay route. within seconds of the situation took a dramatic turn. as the demonstrators came under fire, the subsequent st. battles between christians and she has lasted 5 hours. 7 people were killed. all of them shia. ali is 60 years old since his youth, he has been a militia man in the armed wing of the shia amal party, a passing she, a resident then joined the conversation. her building was among those that came

under the heaviest fire a set up a federal head. we were watching the young people on the street and then suddenly they started shooting from this side. and everyone ran away. i bought up on the 2nd was 2nd. where do you live? but what story? i there, the thing i a lot of it we were in the apartment. the resident then agrees to us visiting her home as she takes us along to see the damage, the she a militia man, ali follows right on our heels. her she's been living here for 14 years with her husband and 3 children. i've been angela. we hit in the bathroom . there was no way out. the shots came from this side of this wall was riddled with bullet holes. beckett, it was horrible, but we were terrified that the family filmed the hellish scenes on their phones. ah.

her youngest son abbas is 13. he is still in shock and i me so we put this up as a barricade to protect ourselves. if they came with a rocket launcher, there were 4 of us here. one got if you were you afraid of the rocket launchers or yes, they had rocket launches and fourteen's m sixteens and a few grenades. so abuse. upper the good are why i was here not one my name. it was here to love it. my father here. oh no you know about is he able but his ear, my son, my sister further away and how long were you in there? ah, at least 2 and a half hours does 2 and a half hours. yes she will. you scant depfa a bit not. not sure about the whole family was evacuated for what seemed like an

eternity. are you afraid it will start again? yes, of course. express, but i live out with distress, sat on the hello. i keep reminded me of the civil war. i thought here it goes again . the family does not want to see the different religious communities at war with each other. their children go to a christian school and alongside the koran, they even have an image of the patron saint of christians and lebanon. no vase, all our neighbors are christians, muslims, all religions will one. that's not the problem. at the same time, it almost seems as if ali is getting ready for a possible return of civil war. selected men as like all of lebanon, his arm to have them on his left knee. there are weapons everywhere design salaam in the 1990s, g o. the militia had to surrender their arms to the government kilowatt anonymous. that the amal group did a tooth ebi lady, but when they began to provoke us again,

we went out and got some other guns and one up. yet, as well as a militia men who i'm not afraid of, i'm ready to go to war for my partying. in the law cubans, al jerry and the longest gave this, i don't agree with what he sang or that it's an absurd war. as that she, it's not in the interests of any one in lebanon to live like that on a lot of manual, but not least of, of you let, we want to live in peace and raise our children in peace. mamma never had a letter. it's nonsense that every citizen should be armed had on the model to have a lot of that worked on the legs. 8 the ghost of bloody sectarianism returned to haunt lebanon on that fateful day. even if a majority of people in the country are trying to exercise this specter. 1000000 lebanese have already left this broken land. public services in all areas have come to a standstill. the government allowed health services to fall into disrepair

as it did public construction projects and the power grid tired of promises of a better life that will never be realised. some are ready to risk their lives, to flee the country. among them is mohammed who lives in tripoli. go miller, get out of the kitchen. the have the 35 year old former to her guide lives with his entire family in this 2 room apartment with his mother, his sisters, and his 4 children. in october 2021. he and his son horses tried to enter europe illegally by the see how the plan was to have the rest of the family follow after they got there. but the trip was a short one, but it wasn't from a humana can nothing. they were 82 of us and we bought
