Living on is the place where the mediterranean and west asia meet. This is the arab worlds gateway. May to europe. Lebanons culture today. A manifestation of the thousand year culture of phinicians, greeks, assyrians, iranians, romans, arabs, ottoman, turks and the french. You can see the effects of these different cultures in lebanons music, in its food, festivities and traditions. Lebanon is known as the bride of the middle east, or more preference. Probably west asia, and its capital, beirot is also known as the paris of the middle east. My father was born in a district located in the Southern Suburbs of beirout, but i was not born in nevano. The formation of illegal entity in the south of lebanon by an occupying regime took away the peace in my country for several decades and the tremors can still be felt. Over 400,000 palestinians have migrated. Lebanon since the arab israeli war. Israel invaded lebanon time and time again and occupied its southern parts. لم نتخلى عن الشعب الفلسطيني لو ما بقي مننا ولا اي طفل يا have no bread, no food, not even water, no electricity, nothing, nothing, we are alone, we have nothing, we need everything, you see, we need the help, where is the arab soldier . Lebanon was dragged into the skirmishes because of the interference. By the Israeli Regime and other countries. Instead of the sound of children, we hear the sound of bullets in the alleys and streets. The streets smell like death, grieving and grudges has replaced friendship and joy. Religious strife has reached its peak as a result of the zionist and western interferences and people fall to the ground and die as easily as when the leaves fall from tree. Hearts are filled with hatred and are shot by bullets. Lebanon is involved in a civil war. The flames burned my homeland for 15 years. Over 120,00 people are killed and millions more are displaced. Lebanon was no longer the bride of the middle east and beirout was no longer the paris of the middle eastان. لبنان عندي شوفته بكل الدنيا هاي تحللى تعيش العمر في حضن اهني الله حب الوطن اغلى اماني بالالوب. Those days my father moved to the us. This is my father who looks at me with high hopes. I dont know what kind of future he envisaged for me at that moment, but im sure he wouldnt see in his wildest dreams that i was going to become a journalist. My. Parents named me serena, which means serene and peaceful. My father said he saw the spirit of leadership in my eyes. I was born on october. 10th 1985 in michigan, remember the month of october. This is my sister fatima who is four years younger than me. Ive always taken care of her because i love her. I really love this picture. This is my mother, her name is judie poe. She is american. I like her composure in this picture. Maybe thats why. I like this picture. I wasnt a quiet girl in my childhood and when i grew up, excitement, passion and a pinch of stubbornness shaped my days, but my father used to say that i have a leadership spirit, although i didnt realize what he meant by that. My father asked me to be a real fighter and never give up. I grew up with my love for lebanon. After graduating from high school in the us, we went back to lebanon. But lebanon is no longer the country my father had left. The existence of israel is source of crisis for my country, but the people in lebanon have become strong. They have realized that lebanon is beyond all ethnic concern. They no longer pin their hopes a large arab army to save them, they have learned to resist. There are still many Palestinian Refugees in lebanon, the next generations were born in the camps and grew up with the memory of palestine. They are not living in good conditions, but there are people who try to make it easier for children to put up with the hardships. We settled in my fathers hometown, getting involved in the world of politics to discover the truth is one of my main passions, maybe thats why i pursued my studies in information and Communications Technology at the American University of science and technology in berroot. 2007 was a turning point in my life a network had recently been established, it was called pressv. I got in touch with its office in beirout and decided to cooperate with them. This picture was taken on the first day of my work at press. Dangerous, indications inside the country show that march 8th and however sensitive issues such as the arms of the resistance for pressure on israel will need to be more than stopping settlements and when i went in front of the camera as a reporter i felt like i had been cut out for this job. It was unbelievable that i had come to lebanon from the other side of the world and found what i wanted. In no time, reporting became my whole life. Discovering the truth and expressing it was a joy that never left me and became the motivation of my life. Will to do whatever it takes to get that extra vote. The question is with the whole world watching, will these illegal practices go unnoticed. Serena shim reporting for press tv, beirout. My reports were about the domestic. In International Events related to lebanon. It helped me understand the politics of my country and region better. This is the temple of bachas. Its one of the most ancient and wellpreserved temples throughout roman history. This temple has stated preserved throughout earthquakes as well as many religious changes from paganism to christianity and then islam. This temple at one point during Medieval Times was even used as a dungeon. It improved my understanding of the Political Developments in west asia among the huge workload. New chapter opened in my life, this is the picture of my cousin, his name is ibrahim, we got married, these two Little Angels you see in the picture are named ali and ajmal, ali is life within a life, my first child, a true miracle. Ajmal is the second angel who made our family happier. Whenever im with them, i can see a part of my own childhood. They both inherited mischievousness and stubberness from me. Nothing in life is more beautiful than my family to me. The world of children is beautiful. War and homelessness. No room in it. It is hard for me to imagine what kind of world they are going to live in. Every mother wants a World Without war and violence for her children, but the reality is completely different. Six, the israeli army dropped millions of cluster bombs on lebanon, many of which have yet to explode. However, the bombles that do not explode on impact can do so later at the slightest touch, making them deadly as antipersonal landmines, resulting in Young Children and innocent civilians being wounded or killed, even during the time of peace. Our resistance against the tyrants, our efforts to stop the wars and raising Peoples Awareness of their rights will help us build a Better Future for our. Children, i think as a journalist, i can help more to build a world brimming with peace and friendship. My dream is safe world for all children. In southern lebanon, cluster bombs can be found in farms, fields, behind houses or even in tree branches. Cluster bombs look a lot like small rocks, which make them such hazard for small children. Since 2006, around 300 innocent civilians have either lost their lives, or been severely hurt due to the cluster bombs israel left behind. The years i got married and became mother coincided with the largest popular protests in west asia and north africa. In tunisia a young man named muhammad boazi who was a street vender set himself a blaze and died in protest against Police Corruption and brutality. The popular protests in tunisia intensified in severity and numbers during the days called the days of roth. The flames of protest spread to algeria, iraq, jordan, kuwait, morocco, sudan, lebanon, mauritania, saudi arabia and bahrain. Protests in some countries like libya, iraq and yemen led to military conflicts and wars. In egyptne mubarak was toppled. In libya, colonel gaddafi was killed. In tunisia and yemen, the governments collapsed. Salafi groups and alqaeda found an opportunity and the major powers supporting terrorist groups stepped in. Massacre, destruction and killing civilians will be the fallout of the conflicts. After working in lebanon for few years, i was dispatched to. To make reports, i was experiencing new conditions at work and it was interesting to me, but being away from my family, piled top of the pressure of the work. I prepared heated report on the turkish Syrian Border and revealed secrets that touched a raw nerve in turkey. We set out for Investigative Mission in turkey to uncover turkeys pivotal role in syrias insurgency. Was about the secret schools of militants inside turkey and sending fighters and weapons to syria with the help of government institutions. A turkish journalist was able to discover one the hidden military camps in the turkish city of chakoli. The chikoli camp alone holds 7,500 armed men. Mr. Demes was also able to supply me with pictures of some of the insurgents inside the camps. The pictures revealed that not all of the insurgents fighting in the socalled syrian uprising are syrian. Analysts believe the reason turkey is playing such dangerous and crucial interfering role in the syrian conflict is to fulfill us and israeli demands since the us is under pressure for its record and afghanistan and iraq. The report cast heavy shadow on my profession. You will see its effects in the future when i come back to this area again. When turkish president recep tayib erdogans press conference started, i asked the questions i had to ask. Without mincing my words, but as they did not have answer, they sent me out of the event. New information has been released about the gezy park protest that happened in turkey throughout this summer. Protests in park were going on, people wanted me to be their voice and report the events as they were. For me, the truth has always been and is top priority. Turkish security looked into statistics of 5,000 out of the sum of 5,500 who were arrested back then. My reports did not sit well with some political officials, but this is not a reason for me to keep silent. This is turkeys famous taxiem square, any given day, there are hundreds of thousand. Thousands of people on the street, but today as you can see, its like a ghost town, and that is due to the polices brutal crackdown that happened just a bit earlier, which sent a three protesters and a journalist to hospital. Serena shim, press tv, istanbul. My next destination is iraq. Iraq is involved in a war with tacfiri terrorist groups and every day, new crisis surfaces in this. Country, in the meantime, iraqi Prime Minister nuriyaliki has called on iraqis to show unity against the terrorists. Sirena shim, press tv, baghdad. Because of the military conflicts in iraq and syria, tacfiri groups spread like wildfire. The most famous of them is the daesh terrorist group, the Group Managing to capture large swaves of land in iraq and syria. The group pretends to be strong because of the. Image it projects. I a muslim and i am in touch with muslims from different sects. The tacfirys definition of islam does not match the beliefs of other muslims. They are a brutal group that have no respect for humans or god. Their slogan is to fight against infidels, but they kill muslims and have nothing to do with the real enemy of muslims, namely israel. Islamophobia and presenting muslims as violent and irrational people who massacre each other is the best justification for advancing the colonialist goals of the west. There is new front between the media. The incomplete and false news of the proterrorist media have made the situation harder for the other side. The alqaeda linked isil has become very active in. Iraq in recent weeks as they have been crossing over from syria. The iraqi army, along with tribal leaders have been working hand in hand to defeat the isil militants. Daeshs propaganda system is as updated and active as a multinational corporation. They roam about freely in cyberspace and there are no restrictions on their activities. Their most violent images and their warm green messages are easily accessible on the internet. The western media play a supplement. Role in their propaganda, although they pretend that theyre standing on the opposite side. Daesh commits savage crimes and the media frequently broadcast them to spread islamophobia. My country, lebanon was left in ruins in 15 years due to proxy wars and sectarian strife. I know how great this ordeal for civilians is. I know that the main reason behind these wars is the big colonial powers. They dont care about human lives. The only things they want are to sell arms, destroy islamic countries and spread sectarian hatred. With official reports claiming at least 2,700 people have died this year alone. Iraqi mpbes. Told us that the violence and explosions will calm down when the army takes control of anbar. A street of the iraqi capital is blood soaked after bomb explosion ripped through busy Commercial Area. The polivirus has made its way into iraq from its conflicttor neighbor, syria. Iraq is the first neighbor of syria to be affected by the virus. According off the events several. On polling stations with the latest attack being in the unbar province. Nevertheless, Iraqi Security along with the army have made their way to polling stations to cast their ballots. In nuna a bomb first went off in a busy Commercial Area followed by a car bomb that exploded to the security situation or if the current status quo will remain for years to come. Sirena shim, press tv, bagdad. The events in ukraine and the conflicts on the russian border with the next topic of my reports. When press tv asked officials including member of the Conflict Group who are negotiating the peace deal in minsk, they said despite actions on the ground, things are still heading in the right direction. The Upcoming Season will be extremely difficult for people to keep themselves warm. Serena shim, press tv, kiev. The fresh clashes are an indication that the seasfire is quickly unraveling. Sarina shim, press tv, comatorsk, eastern ukraine. They might not. Be so lucky, serena shim, press tv, donesk, eastern ukraine, i couldnt spend much time with my family because of my tight schedule, emotionally, it was tough situation. My husband was fulfilling my duties, when i was with the children, i did my best to make up for my absence.
