podcast, i'm abilene shy maps and i really think we need to talk about all the topics that north divide and deny that this. i have invited many deer and well known guests. and i would like to invite you to an in least read alert for the blue climate. ah, this isn't just drought. it is a red if occasion i think we're going to have some epic fighting here. over the world. her is becoming a scarce commodity. things just getting dryer and dryer and we need more and more water is over earth die of thirst. there's no water at home, then it's like be upon the global struggle for water and nothing can be done.

thirst starts august 10th on d. w. ah, [000:00:00;00] 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 residents 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. there all she has to ensure her survival. i'm going us. situation is terrible. our government is letting us die. not ashamed about the jewelry, but i have 4 children to feed me $155.00. that's all they have. okay. then 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 flour, rice, bull gun, and a bit of meat? may god help us handyman electric the code on here. 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 the 70000 pounds? we've dropped the price by 5000 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 dollar. the chicken legs and the fish fillet costs 15 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 cost 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 a 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. and if it, by luck, if it hadn't been for the christian community, they would have starved literally starved on all this. 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, and 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. me 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 osh rough. yay! a christian district of bay 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 country's 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 g, today's gospel is really timely. what should we do? good christmas is just around the corner and, 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 it if 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 in the answer. every time the tank is down to 2 thirds 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 of how much my brother. 300000 t go even a great thanks. while so we're filling in 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 was it gets, imagine the octo tree off in harris at rush hour on a monday with about 2 thirds fewer cars,

ali and then details of the plot of it. that's the way it is here. one is this is settled on suck. why? debbie? els 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 new vo poker, the new poor them 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 is 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? in a fine thanks, keith. we've got a lot to do today. mother, the hood to the biggest of our goal is to get hungry. people who don't have money, something to eat the closest they're prepared meals is dental effects. because of these here are the salads. so here we have desserts, as of it and this and those are the warm meal jelly. pleasure. ok. so not to day father gabrielle is working alongside of rashida. let's go to janetta does she's on it. i put everything on the table for you when, when and how about the bills this friday. you can shad my brothers help me and every month they gave me

a little money. i'm glad that it was. god bless you. have my sister the charity supports more than 200 families. when, where can i put this again? i know you're not in cathy. kate, how are you? i my dear father, thank you for coming. thank you. leave her. see a lesson 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, $300.00 euros. it's lovely here mozilla celia newman, that we used to be better off and could buying heating oil and wound 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. so what have you miss and injection the law he prescribed drops and sent that i should come back in 6 weeks time. me give it than i what can i do given how. ready you live like this? i mean, i think if, when you only earn a quarter of what you spent and ended up on it the bell, i'm masterful. not devout study, can each injection cost the equivalent of $50.00 euros. gabrielle does all he can to help her. i to the here take the 300000. that's for the shot. 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 into that too. appreciate exam gog isn't forgetting us. well, not be dead yet. he said he was, 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 law along to what's the so forth until hockey no, we don't use it's just for shows. huh. mm hm. awesome. okay. on the law, it doesn't make you mad that the state doesn't take care of you to see that we have a lot of what can i say i don't have any work and i've got 5 people to atems jamiracle. and if not,

you hate to state my state what state law we'd stop without the help of these charities i, if you were working before the crisis, you could pay your electric bill. no trouble of 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 me to, of militia, down cri with 36 percent of the population lives in extreme poverty. that's nearly 5 times more than 2 years ago. so community, what would have happened to this family without the christian community college they would have starved. he's literally literally starved negan or modify lucy? well yeah, allow my shippable 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 bay route. 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. murphy got up. there's no electricity any more, so i can't shut my blinds any more. the government hick 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 mom bought the dollar right, keeps rising. so supply price is a 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. said ghosts today cost $16800.00 pounds. so we put 80 percent onto that and ok. price it at $19800.00. 24. pounds put the us about 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 rayon,

has had to make further adjustments about my finance. i can't be selling products that make people sick. so i decided to only keep using one freezer and unplugged the rest. i've also had to reduce my selection as if by magic, the electricity comes back on at noon. the staff can get back to work as normal eggs. tate isn't that. so, 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 1 may root was once the nightlight 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 nation's 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, god limit exceeded. so i cannot to enjoy anymore as if i exceeded the limit. but i haven't to enjoy any of the others and more than one. yesterday 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. oh my gosh. yes. asked he one press, one not to press you as the other. and one live in the year, whether you good, fresh dollars, fresh dollars is all the daughters that were transferred from outside after $22019.00. the other daughter is the one to stuck in the bank. this is everything that you have done before. 2019, you can also do any of the any, any of those you just see it. and to get approved, the only fresh you can make 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 have led to the development of a new privileged social class. our next stop is a beach resort near by trone an hours drive north of bay route. here there are

a number of people who have been left unscathed by the crisis. with the big supermarket chains are still crowded. if up near one holiday. oh, joseph, now in his early forty's, moved here 4 years ago, this is my village. the more you come here often where shows up a bit about 3 or 4 times a week of some, an joseph as a sales representative at an international pharmaceutical company. and he gets his monthly salary in dollars were found, where are the right tomatoes? but those nice ripe ones. ok, so let me, thanks to those fresh dollars, joseph and his wife roaming, now, live like royalty, and a ruined lebanon. sal calling expensive now in lebanon,

voted for lebanese people. yes, if this year, not lebanese, i did not know i am, but lebanese with fresh money. so he sent a new class when you type of lebanese new type of lebanese before it, like it was like for $10.00, only the bottom now for the really been is it's like a 2000. they cannot afford it anymore. it's nothing for me to 1000 lire, joseph monthly, salary as $3000.00 or $60000000.00 lebanese pounds. have you become rich? yes. i've gotten rid of the leash when we're buying every day items we don't look at the price anymore. rami as a primary school teacher, she's paid and lebanese pounds without joseph's dollars. she wouldn't manage to get by now the couple have no reason to worry when they approached the check out their bill to day 685000 pound livable. that's equivalent to $30.00 about equal to

the minimum monthly wage in lebanon. a minimum wage that is plummeted by a factor of 15 in 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 that room. 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 sum they paid back in 2 months. ah yes russia there are 3 rooms on and a 4th room on the upper floor in the back. oh. busy football fan, not a shawl, we're only using it as a storage room right now. laundry sean, but we have 3 floors. so not too. i thought you see this sunday they've

invited friends to lunch. oh, oh. oh hello. 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 as a public servant, for example, each month he's paid and lebanese pounds. so for this friend of the couple buying a $6.00 bottle of wine was a huge expense. 0 made up in gym to rebut a smash. de la, i get paid about 80 or $85.00 a month. that's enough to fill the car twice with gas in the hub, benzene before then. i owned about $1200.00 and lost many now about $80.00. the difference is enormous. unify, i mean, despite the inflation and lebanon wages have never been adjusted, kept there. oh, good luck. 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's no power across the country. you'll hear the same reaction. the something that they do, the vaughan that's lebanon today. he 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 really supposed to have an appointment at b plus banking? yes, but they canceled 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 all the clinton. oh, good job. that was, wasn't, no, there's no law allowing this informal freeze on her and other people savings a victim when you say 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 margin mafia. if we 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. i'd salome if we pci the monkey. i reckon it's the biggest scam in history. ok, so we're talking here about $100000000.00. now that just disappeared. la. i'll hand if i did the song. yeah, the don't ask you on this value 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 fearless transferred, exist in lebanon, were free to transfer money. the video fee dump were under, but were examining events from an ethical standpoint. to see it politically exposed persons who transferred money abroad use their positions in a way that might constitute an abuse of power in an abuse. of course, to learn fully short ironically, rayon. sa is himself one of the people accused of taking part in this massive capital flight as a private individual. though that he and his brother have around $300000000.00 on one of their bank accounts in switzerland. so is that consistent with his bank salary? i, 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 the price. well, with a song from there were people like rebecca's parents who worked their whole lives, loan and thought, and we saved money for our retirement or to allow our children to study abroad a volume and now they're left with nothing. the whole thing is the bank heist of the centurylink so hussain o'clockish. 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 stored 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 that you know, with the young ladies and gentlemen, that were to 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 that gained today's my jessica's birthday. i know what it's like when a mother cannot celebrate, had daughters birthday. ah, no home at all. in the space of seconds my soulmate, my wife, had been taken from me, and i spent 34 years with her. so in my 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, man, i hope judge be tar, sees this through to the end. all of us here support him on the initial oliver. but baton investigation got bogged down this day march the 3rd time. it was suspended. members of the government who refused to be questioned, were obstructing his work through legal challenges. i'm enough. the judge knows the truth and we know exactly who killed these victims and blew up the port. ha, ha, ha, ha ha! madison advised not. and there is one man in the country who has a special degree of interest in this case. oh, hello. oh, yes. before with another meal was alamos bianco, macy is an investigative journalist who was relentlessly trying to get to the

bottom of the country's corruption. every morning his drive to work takes him past the port a is here somewhere here. i know from the outside know from the inside because i'm not allowed to 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. not even 11. am. i believe in the universe like the black hole of corruption. the says the next and this place is kind like of a microcosm of level is up. but i did my my fema appointed. my mother has elected them both the closest you cannot be appointed. there is that only that you have to be affiliated with

a certain part. more than that. some people actually love some people. the most of them made a lot of money in order to be up on to the for example, on come for the custom controller with all calculations used to be fade like $2000.00 per day. but they bad day. and if he could, he got only $2000.00, but they, he would be pissed. according to official statistics, the port earns about $200000000.00 us dollars and income annually. kobe's. he says that without the corruption, that figure would be close to $25000000000.00. the journalist takes risks as 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 10 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 as a presenter with the same broadcaster, ah, miss ali. this is how you proud of his work. we may, yes, but sometimes he gives me headaches. i might add up death. why? that's good because it's dangerous. i'm afraid something bad will happen. yucca shows de my employer. yeah. leanne. he's scared for you. yeah, i mean i'm sending him the evidence evidence time. i'm sending him best. that's her . it's awesome. you're never going to change your what? i told you. i to act like a gazelle, didn't dork? why i'm a beer. 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 noon. 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 in suspicious circumstances in march 2017 despite suspicions of murder. the investigation said the cause of death was an accidental fall. this combination of federal judge of incompetence of 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. why? because there are countries where they're like dominant mafias by level on this country is owned by them off. yes, they own the county, 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 bala party were demonstrating in front of the palace of justice. they demanded that the christian judge direct, but harby 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 of politicians. sectarianism the plague, lebanon was back. late in the afternoon, heavily armed demonstrators went to the entrance of the christian quarter and a root within seconds. 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's been a militia man and 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 affordable federal head. we were watching the young people on the street and then suddenly they started shooting from the side and april and ran away. i bought up on the 2nd. second. where do you live? what story? i did 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 sheer militiamen, 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 hid in the bathroom . there was no way out. the shots came from this site. this one was riddled with bullet holes basket. 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 still in shock. when he saw it put this up as a barricade to protect ourselves if they came with a rocket launcher. there were 4 of us here, one god, if he were you afraid of the rocket launchers all yes, they had rocket launches and fourteen's m sixteens and a few grenades. so as, as abuse a period of to go about why i was here. not why the my neighbor was here. my father here. oh, by j seamless 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 half hours. yes, she will. you scant. tabitha, a bit not,

not the whole family was evacuated after what seemed like an eternity. are you afraid it will start again? yes, of course. express. i live with distress out on the la hello. it 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 off our neighbors are christians, muslims, all religions with one hipaa. 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 slash neck. but men, us like all of lebanon, his arm to had a mind was there. now, there are weapons everywhere design salaam in the 1990s show. the militia had to surrender their arms to the government kilowatt on are understood. the amal group did a tooth ebby lake, but when they began to provoke us again,

that 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 parting is a lot of law cubans al jetty. an alarmist 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 manion but not least of, of the lead. 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 as a, as a model where the world did what the new 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. the room get out of the kitchen. i have the 35 year old former to 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, her som, tried to enter europe illegally via the see the plan was to have the rest of the family follow after they got there. but the trip was short. one of us
