a global pandemic company. so let's go to europeans, one region. one of those nations in flux is lebanon, where we began our odyssey over 2 years ago. lebanon is a traditionally multi religion nation, politically unique in the middle east. the muslims and christians coexist here. but more than 30 years after the end of the civil war, societal tensions are high. the lebanese coastline is 225 kilometers long. the nation border syria to the north and israel to the south with a population of around 6000000. i'm looking forward to welcoming the journalists, xena, alameda, xena brights, among other things about the emancipation of women in islam. she was born in hon over 1981. her parents come from morocco and she lives and works in berlin. zeena is taking part in my talk show and a route on jeff, our talk we debate,

because there are some tension channels that we usually produce. jeff, i 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. then when they would vis. 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? you will say lived in bay rate for many years. yeah. and i think you also went to

school here. yeah. and what did you do here? cuz you will say come here and take photos if it up until i say i came here now and again with my family lunch. my. we sometimes came here for dinner, but he se i was good, but there's also an ice cream parlor here. yeah. yet every child growing up and route must have eaten ice cream there because of what? hello. hello. how's it going? was with what would you like? well, i said lemon before, but now i'm saying something else was that i should that manga then will do. i said, you just ordered an arabic as well. no, i just asked, but in morocco we speak moroccan diploma. do you understand what she says when she speaks, go on board or something? i'd like some mango ice cream man. i like bonilla, i live on alone. even if i'm having vanilla and among law, sometimes when you taste or smell something, does it take you back to your childhood sooner than that?

that's exactly what happens to me with a root in the background on the ice cream. now i finished mine and you've still got some there. okay, no problem. we'll pretend i get oh and now yet they root still bears the scars of the civil war. it ravaged the city and the country for 15 years. initially christians fought against the palestinian p alo, then the conflict escalated into a battle between christians, peel, o supporters and arab nationalists. eventually israel invaded in 1982 and occupied southern lebanon until the year 2000 . so this case has great historical significance, right? uh huh. yes, absolutely. number 2, this is mortar square. it has to do with lebanese and dependents that if i was

paying attention during history, lesson is one 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 no, that's exactly from the civil war. got he? thank you. he that yes, a church church bells. there's a mosque as well as symbolic and then from above it 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. everyone somehow entrenched in their religion in their 2nd 9 o'clock. as soon as i 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 all 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 all awaits 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 root shock. and he 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. back then if we wanted to see each other, it wasn't to talk to her. a good man 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 nature. second of all, i think that and 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 9. would that have work the way it had look, and they only did, he said no, no, 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. b 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 bloss. i spend the night at bate all about through the eco lodge lies between tripoli and beirut. 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, but i'd like to slices because i'm really hungry. i need any money on lebanese breakfast consists of a kind of pizza with that are seasoning plenty of greens and a glove of olive oil. ah, they love him. a full 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 and i'm often surprised at the reactions of some of the people who come to me. so i know they lead a modern life london pure and i, it was de la layla when, when and where does your passion come from any being? 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 the knock that a way melodic hello lebanon has many problems for sure. thought best is besson. 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 in her work is breaking taboos. that was that, well, the plan i'm going to have a small kind of exercises like award have yet una. the main thing is, i'm all coming out with governor homosexuality, is a criminal to say again, but i will, you're now in a place where there are no judgements. alexia went to, she studied, there's nothing negative here yet. hope there's just a lot of love, an unconditional acceptance for all of you. get it and now. oh, so this is what's going to happen. 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 support us would be huge piece. yes, there will be a support system or a support group. i'm all okay, so oh,

okay. they're worried about you. you mean you miles away? okay. don't you speak to them on with? are you doing this? you're breaking to bullets here. going also in the time of risk, what was the cold for you 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 won't let them stop me from defending them and trying to bring them to life. so i decided not to be scared because if you're scared with me, 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, dana, how want and your colleagues, your site. so something, it's all over the graffiti you're doing, which is a quite a trade effect. so because when you move into a chain is the bicycle chain obviously. and if i produce this, i get it high. so people are going to be stuck in traffic and they would re available to ala who and we have other sentences, like if you will, the bicycle you'd be there by now, or we have stuff like, i'm going to say them and i was there, i'm yes, so we have one that said yeah, i'm with i was out of professional behind your as fast as a grenade under and you can also part quickly what's possible or something like that. i a, i cycle a lot at home in berlin and today for the 1st time in beirut with siena.
