14th on d. W. Ah, 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, thats 18. Carrot gold. This pensioner is parting with her last items of jewelry. They are all she has to ensure her survival. Im 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. Thats all they have. Okay. Then ive got some silver too. Shes selling her husbands wedding ring to buy some food for her family. Yes. Did he get a bison flat rice bull gun and a bit of meat . May god help us handling electric . The co declared tripoli is bearing the full brunt of the economic crisis that has crippled the country. Not 5000. 00 for a bunch of charge 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 70000 pounds . Weve 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. Wed them ourselves on the dollar, the chicken legs, and the fish fillet costs 15. 00 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. Its 7 times that. Hows that supposed to work . How a poor people in this country supposed to 8 of the 128 representatives or rather complete idiots. Theres not a single one of them whos decent and humane, hopefully my field 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 wasnt 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 lebanons population into poverty see of it by luck. If it hadnt been for the Christian Community, they would have starved, literally starved on mold. The government failed to maintain investments. Now electricity is supplied for just a few hours each day. Thats 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 an supposed control over entire sectors. This is one of the last corrupted areas. Love, even 11 am. I believe in the universe. The crisis has re ignited tensions between the different religious groups. For many lebanese, their last resort is to leave the country. Hands up if you want to lead lebanon off to college. Its the only hope of a Better Future and reflects a lebanon fighting for its survival. This is osher of j. A christian district of a root father gabrielle, is getting ready to say mass. Hes catholic, a jesuit and french speaking like his congregation and the majority of the countries 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. This is todays gospel is really timely. Yes. What should we do . Good. Christmas is just around the corner 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 wont say more because i want to sleep in my bed and you do too long. Whos gabrielle makes politically charged digressions like this because hes experiencing the crisis 1st hand. Youll make it a, youve gotten to them. Ill give you 10 kilos of mile every week. The priest leaves they 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 camilla every time the tank is down to 2 thirds and get gas so it doesnt feel like youre paying so much that will mother up please. The price of gas has risen 6. 00 fooled within one year. But how much my brother . 300000 t go even over. Thanks voir. So were filling in for you 300000. Lets 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, its amazing. Theres hardly any traffic for what it gets. Imagine the off to tree often harris at rush hour on a monday with about 2 thirds fewer cars and then deals of the plant. I think thats the way it is here. One is he settled on suck. Gabrielles consternation stems from the fact that 3 years ago, lebanon was doing pretty well. Gasoline was cheap, people had work, the currency was stable. Today, its all falling apart. And members of the countrys middle class are among the 1st to lose out. Theyd been called the new vo, popa, the new poor 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. Theres 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, godly islands, a hand with its members every week. How are you, father . My fine, thanks, keith. Weve got a lot to do today. Mother the hood. A big list of our goal is to get hungry people who dont have money, something to eat, because theyre prepared meals a dental joke. It fits because of ease. Here are the salads. So here we have desserts, as of it on the set, and those are the warm meal jelly plus rookie so not to day. Father gabriella is working alongside to rashida and uh yeah, lets go to janetta does shes on it. I put everything on the table for you when, when and how about the bills . This friday.

When, where can i put this together . I know youre not happy with kate, how are you . My dear father. Thank you for coming. Thank you. I deal with them. 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. Its lovely here mozilla, thalia, missed the. He used to be better off and could buying heating oil and werent and now everythings extremely expensive. The i have trouble with my eyes and need injections, but a single injection costs 800000 pounds. Plus the doctors fee of 350000. 00. He didnt give me the injection this month because i couldnt pay for the one from last month. So what have you miss an injection . The law he prescribed drops and sent that i should come back in 6 weeks time. May give it the law. What can i do me give them. How can you live like this on the i think if, when you only earn a quarter of what you spent an abundance of in the bill, im masterful. Not to vouch. Study. Each injection costs the equivalent of 50 euros. Gabrielle does all he can to help her. I can here take the 300000. Thats for the shots. Its from jesus or had them on this thanks. Its 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. Hes jobless. Now, in the current economic situation, its impossible to find another job. They simply have no income. Inside theres 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 havent sold for tele otherwise. Theyre still the johan a restaurant. We can get cynthia debt to equity. Im gog isnt forgetting us. Well, maybe dubbed it. 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 let her alone so its the so forth until hockey no, its just the shows. Huh. She biase, she on the law that he doesnt make you mad that the state doesnt take care of you to say that we had a lot of. What can i say i dont have any work. And ive got 5 people to atems down there. And that not me, you have the state to state. Sure. What state law wed stop without the help of these charities i if you were working before the crisis, you could pay your electric bill. No trouble with the inflation we have to day. Thats impossible. Its far too expensive, homes, me. How are you supposed to manage without going out on the street and begging me to uh, militia, down cri, 136 percent of the population lives in extreme poverty. Thats nearly 5 times more than 2 years ago. So the community, what would have happened to this family without the Christian Community . Cuz they would have starved. Hes literally literally starved neat gun or modify lucy, well, youre a law shippable communities across the country, whether Christian Muslim or drews 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 a 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, god, oh, theres no electricity any more. So i cant shut my blinds any more. The government hick, mom, his 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 lebanons economy until 2019 the Exchange Rate between the 2 currencies with 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 a 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, thats, di makes 1. 2 liters. Sub ghosts today. Cost 16800 pounds. So thus were put 80 set onto that. And so ok. Price it at 19824. 00 pounds puppy me out of washing. Thats how hes 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 ryanne has had to make further adjustments about my fina Company Selling products that make people sick. So i decided to only keep using one free and unplug the rest. Ive also had to reduce my selection as if by magic, the electricity comes back on at noon. C the staff can get back to work as normal eggs, potatoes, and thats all for more than a year. Now, re odd. Hasnt earned a proper profit at his shop. Some months. He doesnt 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 nations financial collapse. The lira lost almost to 90 percent of its value with lebanons banks set severe withdrawal limits for those lebanese who had dollars. The aim was supposedly to prevent the state going bankrupt. Rebecca hasnt had any access to some of her Bank Accounts since 2019 so here it says guard limit exceeded. So i cannot to draw anymore as if i exceeded the limit. But i havent to enjoy any of the others and more than one. Yeah. Yeah, she she does have more than 10000. 00 on this account, but in light of the situation in lebanon, its impossible to say if that money still exists. Oh 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 is before 2019. You can also do any of the any, any of or she just see it. And to get on her bill, 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. Dont give up near cried bon holiday. Oh, joseph, now in his early forties moved here 4 years ago. And this is my village. And will you come here often . Were sure of about 3 or 4 times awake. Awesome. And joseph is a Sales Representative at an International Pharmaceutical company, and he gets his monthly salary in dollars or found the where are the right tomatoes. But those nice ripe ones. Okay, so thanks to those fresh dollars, joseph and his wife roaming, now, live like royalty and a ruined lebanon. This alkali, expensive now in lebanon, voted for lebanese people. Yes, it was. Yeah, not lebanese, and by no, i am, but lebanese with fresh money. So he sent a new to now, so when you type of lebanon, new type of lebanese before it, like it was like 14. 00, only the spotter . No. For literally bernice. Its like to solvent. They cannot afford it any more. Its nothing for me. 2000 lire, josephs monthly salary is 3000. 00 or 60000000. 00 lebanese pounds. Have you become rich away . Yes, ive gotten rich through the veneration. Thats been out on the one were buying every day. Items we dont look at the price anymore. Rami as a Primary School teacher, shes paid and lebanese pounds without josephs dollars. She wouldnt manage to get by now the couple have no reason to worry. When they approached the checkout, theyre billed to day 685000 pound livable. Thats equivalent to 30. 00 about equal to the minimum monthly wage and lebanon. A minimum wage that has plummeted by a factor of 15 in 2 years. Its 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. 04. But found that a shop. Were only using it as a storage room right now. Laundry, jambert, we have 3 floors. So not too i thought you see this sunday theyve invited friends to lunch. Oh oh i joseph receives his guests with a meal fit for royalty. They need i think more stun minutes. He wants to share his new well with others in a very rummy as a public servant, for example, each month hes paid and lebanese power issued. So for this friend of the couple buying a 6. 00 bottle of wine was a huge expense even allowed me to print jim durable for margie till i get paid about 80 or 85. 00 a month. Thats enough to fill the car twice with gas in hub benzene before then i owned about 1200. 00. I was on wash. Many now about 80. 00. The difference is enormous. Either i me, despite the inflation and lebanon wages have never been adjusted together. I, as the friends make a toast of joseph bad cell, 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 is no power across the country. Youll hear the same reaction if its something that they do the vol. Thats lebanon today. He said a year ago, rebecca decided to file a lawsuit against her bank for illegally withholding her dollars. It would suggest what happened, what will be supposed to have an appointment at b plus banking . This is yes, but they cancelled it. I dont know when well be able to resume proceedings in the novel. Unfortunately, nothing is moving in our direction at the moment, but we shouldnt give up that in. Oh, good job loss. Let them know theres no law allowing this informal freeze on her and other People Savings of a came and fixed i. So anyway, the banks were closed for weeks because of the protests all over. And when they opened, after 2 weeks, there was nothing left on june mafia. If were really dealing with a mafia that decided to steal peoples money by transferring it to their own accounts abroad. If you are these people, holla, titians bankers, and the governor of the central bank is henri ad salome. If we see ha devante, i reckon its the biggest scam in history. Were talking here about 100000000. 00. Now that just disappeared. Law. Ill hand if i did this on the out the dont ask you on this matter. 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. Let me verify this. Rons fed exists in lebanon, were free to transfer money. The video fee dump under. But we are examining events from an ethical standpoint to see it politically exposed. Persons who transferred money abroad used their positions in a way that might constitute an abuse of power in an abuse. A cause that are fully short ironically react salami is himself one of the people accused of taking part in this massive capital flight as a private individual knows that he and his brother have around 300000000 dollars on one of their Bank Accounts in switzerland. So is that consistent with his bank salary . And its 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. Where the, the thong, there are people like rebeccas parents who worked their whole lives alone and thought and we saved money for our retirement or to allow our children to study abroad a volume and now theyre left with nothing. The whole thing is the bank heist of the century link. So who so yeah, in recognition 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. Its contents 2750 tons of Ammonium Nitrate. A highly flammable and explosive fertilizer restored unattended loo. The horrific accident destroyed entire districts of the capitol within a radius of several kilometers. In total, had 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 me with the efforts of every single lebanese and with their support, the cities wounds will heal to them and it will rise again, just as it has always done in its history cohen all that mirror around now, but daddy 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 danny, todays my jessicas birthday. I know what its like when a mother cannot celebrate, had daughters birthday. Ah no home at home in the space of seconds. My soulmate, my wife had been taken from me silly and i spent 34 years with her. So in my, the 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 and i hope judge be tar, sees this through to the end. All of us here support him or had the initial of us. But the tars investigation got bogged down this day, marked the 3rd time. It was suspended. Members of the government who refused to be questioned, what obstructing his work through legal challenges. I mean, not the judge knows the truth and we know exactly who killed these victims and blew up the port. Ha, ha, ha ha ha mad plaza. And theres one man in the country who has a special degree of interest in this case. Oh, hello. Going yes before we better than been before the la la la bianco. Macy is an investigative journalist who has relentlessly trying to get to the bottom of the countries corruption every morning his drive to work takes him past the port a is here somewhere here. I know from the outside not from the inside because im of a lot. Yeah, according to colby, 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. This is the next and this place is kind like of a microcosm of lebanon is operated by buffy. Eman appointed by mafia is elected the democratic forces. You cannot be appointed there is that only that you have to be affiliated with a certain part for that that some people actually love some people the most of them made a lot of money in order to be appointed here for example, on comes for the custom controller with all calculations used to be fade like 2000. 00 per day that day bare day. And if he could, he got only 2000. 00, but that he would be pissed. According to official statistics, the port earns about 200000000. 00 us dollars in income annually. Kobes. 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, hes been taking precautions my own surveillance system. There are like con 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 is a presenter with the same broadcaster. Ah, miss ali this yeah. Are you proud of his work . We may, yes, but sometimes he gives me headaches. I might add a death. Why . Thats good because its dangerous. Im afraid something bad will happen. Yeah. Coca shows de my employee. Yeah. Leanne. Hes scared for you. Yeah, i mean im sending him a as in every time im sending him death, thats death itself. Youre never going to change your work. I thought you ought to act like a gazelle didnt talk. Why im a veal and kobes. 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 hes collected available. That includes a letter written by colonel josephs gaff. Back in 2014, the customs official had already been sounding the alarm. Ah, theres a ship by the name of ross of stockton key number 11 in the port they route on board is a large cargo of a dangerous explosive. The constitutes of danger to public safety. We asked 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 theres a lot of corruption in mexico may be and many other counties what not like and live on. Why . Because there are countries where theyre like bowman and matthews, by level on this cult, is owned by the mafia. So they all were called a country drifting, rudderless. And to make matters worse, its 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 ball a party, were demonstrating in front of the palace of justice. They demanded that the christian judge to rec, baton, be 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 a politicians sectarianism the plague lebanon was back. Late in the afternoon, heavily armed demonstrators went to the entrance of the christian order in bay root. Within seconds of 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, hes 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 a set up a federal head. We were watching the young people on the street and then suddenly they started shooting from this site. And everyone ran away. I bought up on the 2nd was 2nd. Where do you live . But what story . I there, the thing i a lot of there we were in the apartment. The resident then agrees to us visiting her home as she takes us along to see the damage, the she a militia man, ali follows right on our heels. Her home. Shes been living here for 14 years with her husband and 3 children. Ive been angela. We hit in the bathroom, there was no way out. The shots came from this side of this wool was riddled with bullet holes that 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 is still in shock and i me so we put this up as a barricade to protect ourselves. If they came with a rocket launcher, there were 4 of us here. One got if he were you afraid of the rocket launchers all the yes they had rocket launches and fourteens m sixteens and a few grenades. So as, as abuse a bird glimmer. Why i was here, not one. My neighbor was here to love it. My father here. Oh nobody seems nobody, sir. My son, my sister father away. And how long were you in there . Oh, at least 2 and a half hours does 2 and a half hours. Yes, she will you scant. Tabitha, a bit not. Not sure about the whole family was evacuated for what seemed like an eternity. Are you afraid it will start again . Yes, of course. Express, but i live out with distress, sat on the hollow cape, 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 in lebanon. No vase, all our neighbors are christians, muslims, all religions with one hipaa. Thats not the problem. At the same time, it almost seems as if ali is getting ready for a possible return of civil war, slack neck. But men, us like all of lebanon, his arm to had a mom was there, and there are weapons everywhere design salaam in the 1990s, g o. The militia had to surrender their arms to the government kilowatt anonymous. That the amal group did a tooth ebi lately, but when they began to provoke us again, we went out and got some other guns and one up. Yet as well as a militia man. Oh, im not afraid of. Im ready to go to war for my partying. In the law gibbons al jerry and the longest gave this, i dont agree with what he sang at. Its an absurd war, as that she, its not in the interests of any one in lebanon to live like that on a lot of manual, but not least of, of you let, we want to live in peace and raise our children in peace. Mamma never had a letter. Its nonsense that every citizen should be armed had on the model where the world did what the new lugs. 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 a 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. Go below, get out of the kitchen. The have the 35 year old former to her 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 was you cannot then they were 82. 00 of us and we bought a big boat both to be a plan was to go to italy and from each of us would find their own way through europe. One is going to want to do it on site, had different plans. We lost everything for them on the turkish coast. Guard arrested us, you know, and when did we meet again . Why then, why . Listener . In jail you were in jail. Yes. Jake, and how old were you then for 7, i was there was 16 people to sell in jail. It was tough. Just imagine it. My son was sleeping with me on a bench surrounded by desh terrorist mana, a hair being though esh. Mohammad and his son were arrested during the crossing to europe and spent 29 days in jail before being sent back to lebanon. Ah, in spite of the traumatic experience, the temptation to leave, the country has become Even Stronger for the family. When you look at the see what you think, i think about a day when the weather is good and we can set off again on the clock. And thats your dream having been, i just want to leave this country with my children. And so you will set off again, yes, and why . Because people die every day as lebanon continues to be ravaged by a crippling financial crisis mohammed and host som, look out to see hoping that maybe theres a better life waiting for them beyond the waves. And the horizon ah okay, with the journey across the entire continent is a variety of cod. So would on this so we focus the movers, shake as visionaries and make it when bonded the meaning of modern africa in 30 minutes on d w. O. Oh. Sure. To the today, this means flying to a foreign planet. In the 16th century, it meant to mean a captain and setting sail to discover a route the world famous sea voyage of ferdinand of magellan. Id rather erase linked to military interests, erase links to political and military facilities, but also linked to Main Financial interest and adventure full of hardships, dangers and death 3 years and that will change the world forever. My jillions journey around the world start september 7th on d. W ah this is d, w live from berlin, israel and the palestinians agree a truce. 2 and 3 days off. Conflict is ready. Attacks have killed dozens of people and gaza as the 2 sides exchanged rocket fire. Hundreds more civilians are injured also coming up a 2nd convoy of ships loaded with grain
