there are some tension models that we usually produce. jeff, our talk at deutsch a villa in berlin once a month. we're also in arab countries. and today we're in lebanon. for me, that's like coming home. i was born in liberia, but i grew up in switzerland and here in beirut, or i attended the german school. my parents are also living here, once again. they root is the economic and cultural heart of the country. like any good beach promenade, the beirut cornish is a popular place for all manner of leisure activities. walkers love the view. joggers enjoy the breeze. and teenagers pose as though they're on a catwalk vend available. if you're ever and a route you really need to check it out. it's a wonderful atmosphere with the see the do math. so how was that for you then?

this is mortar square. it has to do with lebanese independence, then if i was paying attention during history lesson is on that was 1943. but if you take a closer look, you see a lot of little holes in the show. i don't, it tells you know, that's exactly from the civil war garcia. thank you. hit that. yes. a church church bells golf in the machine. yeah. there's a mosque as well. symbolic and from above and all looks good off, but things could definitely be better. one of them, especially when we're talking about laws about elections and religion does play a role there haunted every one, somehow entrenched in their religion in their 2nd 9 o'clock. as soon as all was on the surface. everyone lives happily together like one big family, one big, but within that family, people still argue a bit. domino. hm. person, destiny. and continuing my journey alone, traveling 85 kilometers north to tripoli by bus. tripoli is the nation,

2nd largest city, and according to a world bank report, the poorest metropolis on the entire mediterranean coast line. up until a few years ago, civil war still raged in some tripoli, neighborhoods, jewelled among other things by the conflict and syria. the city saw clashes between sunni's and holowitz, between enemies and supporters of the syrian dictator, assad. now former opponents have laid down their arms and joint forces to repair the roads and restore power lines. the initiator of the reconciliation project march is lay about rudy from the route so county could you explain what happened here? oh okay. you'll hear in the city of tripler, but in some of the poorest districts for years, these 2 neighborhoods where it won't work each other. jebel mason here and been tabitha down there. we have people here from debbie topper noon and john mason. i'm

from bell halvenetz. i'm the only one from chapel lesson, but i've been talking to so you didn't talk to each other before i get to talk to each other, fax, and if we want to see each other let, it wasn't to talk to teacher. i've been on the dominant language was the language of weapons a day and the mutual fear is deep seated. it is based on the experiences of several decades and many wars. the goal is to overcome this fear. the march community center provides a place for discussion and programs for countering aggression. i've been observing how you're moving around. a woman between men who come from very much for your code structures, the way they thing they look at women, what was it for you? the fact that i am a woman and i'm not home and i'm not from either sex,

has them in the worse than my work because 1st of all, i'm perceived as neutral. second of all, i think that in fuzzy on the society, you are a woman man, dental show, their weakness is more than, than if you, because there's no dies and there's no eagle and, and one day, you know, i was asking them this question. imagine i, i was none. would that have work the way it had look? and they only did, he said no, no, that there are still traces of hatred and violence and serious street. but tentative reconciliation efforts are at least under way from tripoli, we travel on to be blows. the small port town is just 40 kilometers away. be blows is one of the prettiest locations on the coast. i came as a child on a school trip. the blows offers natural beauty and a rich cultural heritage. phoenicians romans, arabs,

and the crusaders all left their mark here not far from the blows i spend the night at bate arbitrarily. the eco lodge lies between tripoli and they rooted. everything's either homemade or hand made here, from the food right through to the furniture. it's like i'm in paradise. with this small estate, the owner colette co here has fulfilled a dream. and i really like makisha was particularly on the grid. i love of the wheat is from this region and ask man is making the dough where i'd like to slice is because i'm really hungry. a young in any money on lebanese breakfast consists of a kind of pizza with that are seasoning plenty of greens and a glock of olive oil. ah, they montezuma williamson young to be mother to day. many people's idea of being

modern is skyline. so all new and high tech, low, high tech, how combination you combine tradition, nature, land and village in a way that makes this place so authentic behind the study. that's really amazing. hello, mechanical i. e and ideally policy. and i said i have to, to be honest, but i'm often surprised at the reactions of some of the people who come to me. so i know they need a modern life london pure and i, it was de la layla when, when and where does your passion come from any being? i and i should, i lived abroad for almost 17 years during the war i left lebanon, so bizarre, i spent half the time in saudi arabia. and the other half in london guesthouse is the idea of having a restaurant came to me during this time. it was kind of a dream of mine. he loved when i returned, i wanted to fulfill that dream here in lebanon. lebanon is my homeland, and i'd like to show that lebanon is a modern country,

even with all the many problems we have here, did. elaine linux, that a way melodic polio, lebanon, has many problems for sure, thought best is at best sellers. yes, but i'm very optimistic. optimistic set off at that optimism is the vital. in august 2020, there was a huge explosion in may route. the entire ports on was flattened in the blast. dozens of people died and hundreds were injured. it turned out that almost $3000.00 tons of highly flammable material had been stored for years at the port without appropriate safety measures. its thought construction work may have triggered the detonation. the accident stood as a symbol of failure for a state that could not protect its people. ah,

even before the explosion since 2019 people of all backgrounds have been protesting in beirut. ah, some one who was always fought for societal change and lebanon is the journalist giovanna hud dodd. her work is breaking taboos. that was the well, the plan i'm going to have a small kind of exercises like award has got to be at una, i mean, it is a long coming out with governor homosexuality is a criminal offense here. but there is a small l g, b, t i q plus community. but most people just conceal their sexuality. more often coming out leads to expulsion from the family. the writers romana hud supports the activists and organizers regular events such as this one. okay, always she might have like okay, firstly hello again and turn out. i'm really glad you're all here. you know what? i certainly don't need to say it again, but i will, an you're now in a place where there are no judgments. so lucky a winner. she said there's nothing negative here yet. hope there's just

a lot of love, an unconditional acceptance for all of you. got it. and now, oh, so this is what's going to happen in the motto of our meeting is to come out or not to come out to come. what does that mean for us to get closer to the person? we want to say something to there are no wrong decisions because there are people around us who supported bcc. so yes, there will be a support system or a support group mom. oh, okay. how do we ha, ha, ha. okay. so they're worried about you. you mean you miles away? okay. don't you speak to them out with the local? are you doing this or breaking to volunteers or also in the time of risk. what was the cause for you'd for doing it? i think that at one point in my life because i was raised in such a conservative family, i had enough of all the hypocrisy because i knew that my own values are not necessarily the values of my society,

but i was led them stop me from defending them and trying to bring them to live. so i decided not to be scared because if you're scared, it means they won. another hot topic in lebanon is the traffic problem. cyclists still aren't in the world view of lebanese transport planners. chain effect wants to change that and make they root fit for bikes. i'm meeting project initiator, zayna. how one and her colleagues i so something, it's all over the fetus you're doing, which is the chain effect. why the chain effect? so because with chain is the bicycle chain obviously, and if i just decide that it was so people are going to be stuck in traffic and they would re available to ella who and we have other sentences, like if you wrote

in agriculture, cleaning, or construction work. for masterpiece founders of the project were able to obtain an exception. so this is one of the way that we've been talking by law. most of the women who work here come from syria. they fled to escape the islamic state and the war, their own pharmacy managers, the masterpiece sewing workshop fee, and all that to syrian type of fabric with any student where you get it from, survive on that mission. moment jewel i'm, we try and get it from syria or from bay route, but it's difficult the only sure what's that that to shut made of pure so natural. so from the cocoon had i then did you so it as well? actually, no. my grandmother did that, my mother's mother can swing emerge. 40 minutes when you have a piece of syria with you in was thoughtful. it means we still have a connection with syria is allied with
