economic situation and lebanon. so how are people operating without banks for so long. basically it's it seeeems that the people. knew that there was a certain crisis information said that before the protests that up. two billion dollars were- taken- from banks and ststalked and h houses so people would somehow- and prepared for what's coming so they operated without banks for two weeks for the banks but the whole country could not operate without banks you need to open and see if you need to import. goods from outside so they had to open even though there was a- lot of risks- that the beneath the beneath problem be different you wait. today. we had information that the essential the- bank of lebanon injected

two million dollars and the and the market in order to calm the fears of the people. and in order to keep the every- every lebanese rates on the other is- at least. acceptable so they're taking steps to keep people calm but i'm i'm interested in the status of these demonstrations is this merely a pause with protesters perhaps giving a little bit of time for a new cabinet to be formed. i think. people are still all on the screen that's that's- definitely and people are. waiting to see where this would mean yes but they are not satisfied and- and because none of what they have asked for. it is the- now at least is being able to and. we they don't see that what they ask for is being

done and all of a sudden now the dispute is on the political level it seems that people are on one side what did the mending tool is less good option is more- reforms. in in an economy and- from the other side the political spectrum is interested in the form of the government would be would it be- form from techno colossal political parties it seems that there is a big gap between the people. and the political. the political and parties in lebanon. talk a little bit about now former prime minister sought her very this is actually the third time that. he has resigned and there's been a hint that hezbollah might rename him for thehe post again i can't imagine that would go over too well with the public. the p problems they oftn

make major problems and none of them. is the economimic problem the financial problem and this social problem that basically can lead to at two civil war but these t three problblems are are mainly. the result of. an a one the american sanctions on hezbollah. to the- the boycott of the gulf countries and three thee endemic corruptioion of the political pararties these thrhre thinings. will what is n nomina- as the prime minister whahatever governmement comes will notot be ablele to face the boycott there is a and the sanctions are due to the e existence of. it the illegal activitiess of h hezbolh and because of the presencef his mugugglen the government. and this is not going to go away as f for the c collectionn wewe're asking t the same. political parties to condemn
