Almost half the population are relying according to the un on some form of humanitarian assistance. Every day. I think its around about 75 percent of the afghan budget was funded by international donors. So the situation is seriously critical here. And of course the big Sticking Point. One of the main Sticking Point is how to deal with a government an interim taliban government where so many of the people in its own un sanction lists were indeed the case of the interim interior minister on a terror watch list.

When you hear the united nation saying that they expected, almost a 100 percent of the population, could potentially be living under the Poverty Line in a round about 12 months, then it doesnt get any stalker than that.

International community moves from pollution and they need to come out to be in Pilot Bar is a very centralized organization and i need to sort of restart our engagement. This is not something and we have been negotiating with the taliban for years and we will continue to do that. We are now seeing some we are allowed to bring that back to work, but something more have and it has to happen. Now moving on and the leaders of the u. S.

He says there is a lot of progress to be made in order to mend the relationship. The relationship has been on the rock for some time, and this is taking in the right direction. Having contact between the leaders at the high level is really positive. If they can have a direct line of communication, they can engage with each other in a frank way, at a free way, as opposed to china in the United States, slanging it out.

Such humanitarian crisis looms and Gala Stone Border trade with pakistan could play a critical role. But Corruption And Smuggling are flowing the flow of goods and leaving tons of much needed Food Writing and trucks. And some of them debate reports now from the talk them crossing 4 kilometers, struck laden with fruits, vegetables, and other perishable items. Lane the road to pakistan. This is the main highway leading to the door border crossing. Some of these drivers have been queuing for days with rotting loads and diminishing fuel. Among other modern matters, great harris. We are all losing hundreds of thousands of dollars every day due to the slow, clear in the process. By pakistani authorities, they must look into our plight. The country. The slow down is due to strict checks on the box on the side. Customs officials recently seized us made weapons from trucks and regularly find drugs and luxury items hidden in vehicles. Each truck goes through a physical check and then passes through an X Ray Scanner to see anything under the crate. Its a meticulous process that takes time back on the official se, managing a 2600 kilometer long border without a government on the other side is a difficult task. So we got can we get them . If you shot the risk . Yes, the bank after trade goes to pakistan. Keep better open pollution and if you do cruise them, contributing to a humanity in question or that. Right.

Similar act repeated a different post, hundreds of times a day before we circled back to talk to the drivers who must pass our face further delays. What the driver is telling us is hes had to pay multiple rights at checkpoints. And what i can not sure if youre writing tomatoes because hes been waiting for hours and hours in a very long queue off trucks trying to cross into Bucket Phone Tree to say, after the fall, a former president shopped on the government and take over by the taliban, they do not have to pay bribes inside of gun is done, but they still have to pay them and 50. 00 lives impacts done. Some of the job done to their talk from border breaking news now from lebanon were just in the last few moments. The presidency has announced that a cabinet has been formed, ending a 13 Month Deadlock that was, and the countrys economic situation. Lebanon has been devastated by poverty, fuel shortages and inflation. This is the 3rd attempt to form a government since the Port Explosion in beirut just over a year ago. Now. Well, lets go to our correspondence and what shes in the lebanese Capital Bay Route for us, then it just, what do we know about this new cabinet . Well, like you mentioned, 13 months of political wrangling, lebanons shooting. Politicians have now agreed how to distribute the power in a new cabinets, but most of the faces are familiar. Theyre familiar to the lebanese people with many people telling us that this is not a break from the past. This is not, the non up parts has been cabinets of specialists that the International Community has long demanded in order to unlock a because you need these specialists to carry out reforms. But clearly the political parties who have been governing this country for decades are refusing to let go of that power. And right now, so much is at stake. Yes, politicians the over over recent years over the past that case, it usually takes them months to form a government. But like i said, so much as i think were just outside a Gas Station. People wait here for hours to get fuel. Theres shortages of almost everything in this country, medicine fuel, theres hyper inflation. So these politicians were losing support among their, their constituents and they realize this at the end of the day they will have to make compromises among themselves. But its not just that there has been a lot of pressure from the International Community in particular from the United States. These 2 countries did not want to see a security breakdown. The army has been suffering. The head of the army has been saying that my soldiers want to want to leave to teach. Theyre looking for other jobs because their salaries are no longer enough. So pressure from the International Community and the realization among those who have been holding power for decades, that they really have little choice. They need to come together to form the government, but in no ways is this crisis over there. We saw some protests over the course of the last year around the frustration about this whole situation. Do you think that people there are going to be welcoming the Cabinet Announcement Today just in the sense that things are moving along well, people are indifferent, theyre tired. I mean, one man just told us here, so what now what if the same faith is the same people . Its the same politicians weapon, accuse of corruption for wasting public funds. What the new government needs to do. Its really facing a lot of challenges. It needs to come up with an economic recovery applied. It needs to negotiate with the i, M F on a on a bailout plan, because the space is nearly bankrupted can no longer import fuel and people cannot, can no longer afford in the next few days. Theyre gonna live subsidies because the central bank is running out of foreign currency reserves. When you lift subsidies and theres a Price Hike and fuel, which means the price, i can all commodities and goods in this country. People salaries are worthless, the local currency loss, 90 percent of its value. The minimum wage is now worth 35 percent, but i must say with the news of the government formation, it has some positive effects on the market Exchange Rate. The lira has gained in value as flight this morning was exchanging at approximately 9000 years to the dollar. Now its exchanging at approximately 16000. 00 to the dollar, but the official Exchange Rate is 1500. 00. So just shows you how bad the economic situation has been. The political paralysis, how it has had a Grave Consequence on the economy. But a lot of people really do not have faith that a lot is going to change. They believe that these politicians are only eyeing the upcoming elections in spring. Theres going to be party, mentally, elections, and spring, and on the back of their mind, all they want to do is maintain some support among their own constituents. So people are not optimistic, but there is no doubt this country is in desperate need of a government in order to start talking with the i M F to bring in much needed hard currency because it is a daily struggle. It is a daily people are sleeping in their car, sleep overnight waiting in line for hours just to get to as in i believe we are getting some more details about the cabinet appointments very shortly. But i do want to ask you, you mentioned that the need for international engagement and in foreign aid in terms of trying to help the economy and lebanon. What will foreign powers be looking for within this new cabinet . Well, foreign powers will want to see these politicians agree to reforM Faith institutions. They will need laws to be put in place to fight corruption. Lets go back to a year ago after that they rePort Explosion. France really took the lead and international efforts to try to find a solution for the economic crisis. What mccall, you know, demanded back then and really what the west was demanding is that there is a new cabinet. New faces. Politicians not linked to the political powers that have been covering this country that didnt happen at the ruling alliance. They held on to power. They said that we won at the balance box. Were not going to give up power. They felt that this was some sorts of a conspiracy because lebanon is entangled in the regional Power Struggle between the United States and the iran. Those who hold power now are from the pro iran camp and they felt that the International Community is pressing for change in order to shift the balance of power. It seems to International Community realize that these people are not going to give up power. And so theyre now agreeing to a capable government thats the word they use capable instead of. 8 independence, non partisan specially capable means theyre going to have to agree on grip to reform. So were going to have to wait to see if they do that or if theyre just buying time, keep the country afloat. Bring in international a just until just until the upcoming elections 11 on people here know that theyre caught in the middle of this Power Struggle in the region. So any deal here will have to be linked to an outside jail. But the fact that they came up with a governments means domestically and internationally, the country was collapsing and they know that so much was at stake. You can hear people shouting, theres so much tension in the street. 55 people have been killed. That Gas Station fighting, fighting over over fuels, theres no medicine, cancer patients cannot find medicine in this country. And some power can no longer provide to the people. And they know if this continues, theyre going to lose the upcoming election. Then weve just been watching there as youve been speaking some of those images from that port last a year ago. Obviously there was a huge amount of devastation i know of us or remember that im curious, has there been a sense of recovery then . There was a lot of international aid that flowed in and the locations about how that was going to be spent. Did people feel like theyve received the help that they needed in the immediate aftermath of us . Well, the government, the state has been absent since that report the explosion. Thousands of thousands of homes were damaged, destroyed, people lost their lives, people lost their livelihood. People lost their job. International a was forthcoming. There were international aids conferences over the past year, but it wasnt enough. Its not enough. A lot of people have had to close down their businesses and things really just got worse from that for the explosion. I mean, right now the fuel crisis, i can tell you that businesses, businesses are closing down because they dont have, theres no space. I like to city. The state no longer provides electricity more than an hour, 2 hours a day. So people need to rely on private generators. That means you need to buy diesel. Many people cannot afford to buy diesel on the black market because its just not available. People are losing their jobs. Theres a brain trained, professional, sorry to interrupt you, that the prime minister is now speaking about the new cabinet. Lets listen and call it the school. 13 months has passed since the previous government handed down resignation. Are you still part to unity . To extend all opposition to the former prime minister has sent the ad and the challenges he had. Faith was all about. As a matter of practice, the newly appointed of government will lead out with the written statement laying out his plan for the upcoming government. How about today you are facing an exceptional situation . Thats why it is a word from all the from the heart i got from, i mean, it is no secret. Thats our situation, but it is dire with my bill will be it will it is what im im a said that it is no. And what was the young man . The old one. How do you mean the young Man Robin is suffering as much as the old Neil Ball are facing . Shortage. When children are in surprise, whether they are in confusion, whether or not they would be able to go to school children, asking them and their parents are my cousin, my neighbor, but i have all lift the country. Why are we staying here . For those who are silent simply and helpless baba, even lifetime savings was deposited, the bank can not be released even her. The color of his daily monthly wages are 110th of its purchase power. It is the situation, the majority of the liberties have left the country. My about my old. This can not hold back the tears. A Woman Mother can not at 10. So the needs of her children. What we all feel that the situation it is known to all and needs and each and one. However, it is not possible. And if we all come together today with the president , we consume maximum time and effort to form the government. Nothing is perfect, then no man is infallible. However, we will join forces. We will roll up our sleeves work together, day and night, till brave. Through this dire situation, we will contact all the world states and international organization simply to provide for the liberty to secure the most basic necessities. So that beneath we will roll up our sleeves. We will work hard. We are all live beneath. We are not serving one faction of one party at the expense of the other. We will act in patriotism, valley beneath the spirit, guided by the charter of our constitution, and the lo 100 not we need our neighboring countries. The brotherly and friendly country. Lebanon is part of this region, and it is part of the world. We are proud of our brothers who i am certain will not fail us. And i hope that we can bring our country back on its feet. I hope that this government will be able to function, at least put an end to the bleeding. And we all come together, one hand to bring back lebanon on its feet, proud and prosperous. I pray to god almighty to guide our steps forward, then god bless you all. Last time, i hope youve been listening that to prime minister nadia mccarty, speaking about the new formation of 11 each cabinet off to 13 months of deadlock. Hes acknowledged just how hard its been for the lebanese people and really gave a sense of crisis. Just how many people have left the country as well as in a lets speak to our correspondent shes been listening in as well
