[00:00:12] work and I've just arrived
[00:00:14] feeling, indescribable. We have been
[00:00:18] My whole body is broken from
[00:00:26] and livelihoods. This
[00:00:30] work normally tomorrow morning anything. You finished all of them from inside with
[00:00:35] Bonjour, bonjour my friend, how are you? I hope everything is fine.
[00:00:39] Today is the last day
[00:00:43] Despite all this of the ceasefire agreement between the agreement made by the Lebanese state with the Israeli
[00:00:46] enemy.
[00:00:53] So, I hope we see everyone waiting, and we are waiting to see what the situation is,
[00:00:57] what will happen. But most likely, God willing, things are going
[00:01:00] for the best and for the better, God willing. There will be calm, and there will be no
[00:01:04] escalation. And let's see how things are going. Everyone
[00:01:07] is waiting for God.
[00:01:18] demolishing them completely.
[00:01:30] Every morning he starts with the news. For him, it's
[00:01:33] a matter of
[00:01:34] survival.
[00:01:42] For the past three years, the conflict between Lebanon and Israel has
[00:01:46] flared up and died down without
[00:01:48] warning.
[00:01:51] Now, the daily lives of millions
[00:01:54] courageous stand. I attest to him on this of Lebanese depend on the whims of
[00:01:56] politicians.
[00:03:07] Therefore, this
[00:03:16] That's what the Israelies call the buffer zone,
[00:03:20] it extends up to 10 kilometers into Lebanese
[00:03:23] territory.
[00:03:34] actions of
[00:03:48] humanity and all of
[00:03:55] to take po of
[00:04:00] Israeli drones fill the sky and artillery
[00:04:03] pounds the nearby hills. life
[00:04:07] run on here depends entirely on whether an Israeli soldier sees you as a
[00:04:09] threat?
[00:04:19] the Lebanese have experienced two wars since
[00:04:22] 2023. each time the conflict ended with the
[00:04:25] signing of an agreement that promised enduring and lasting
[00:04:29] peace.
[00:04:33] and we ask
[00:04:37] destruction, a lot of
[00:04:44] There are about 200 heads of them. The
[00:04:47] war, missiles from above. We were afraid, let's stay
[00:04:50] at the checkpoint Yes, we were in the village when the war started. We sang to Nabatiyeh, from
[00:04:54] Nabatiyeh to the bridge,
[00:04:57] to Al-Qa'qaiyah, to Nabatiyeh from Al-Khalidiyeh.
[00:05:00] Al-Maqdoush stopped. We returned
[00:05:03] here.
[00:05:28] And he went back from here,
[00:05:29] he left
[00:05:32] from here. I don't know where he went, I really
[00:05:35] don't know.
[00:05:48] Living by the yellow line is quite an ordeal, only the brave
[00:05:51] return to their homes, where children used to run
[00:05:55] around, now only herds of sheep roam.
[00:06:18] By God, my brother Mahdi, before the war, we used to work
[00:06:22] and build buildings. Now, after the war, we are working on destroying
[00:06:25] buildings.
[00:06:29] This building and that building, we are now
[00:06:31] I mean, where are we going? No one
[00:06:35] Their owners are heartbroken. What can they do? They are sitting there, what can they
[00:06:38] do? They look with their eyes at these buildings how they are falling in front of them.
[00:06:42] Before the war, we used to build, and after the war, now we are demolishing.
[00:06:56] I am Father Philip Habib Al-Aqla,
[00:07:00] the senior priest serving the parishes of Jadeidet
[00:07:03] Marjayoun, Bweida, Debbin, Blat for the Greek
[00:07:06] Orthodox. Of course, we are in an area
[00:07:10] called the Red Zone, which is an area
[00:07:14] in direct contact
[00:07:16] Israelis. Um,
[00:07:20] I'm studying
[00:07:23] a lesson in the book
[00:07:26] for students who are not in our class.
[00:07:29] The reason is that we
[00:07:32] the Red Zone, where the area is subjected
[00:07:35] to shelling
[00:07:37] and fires.
[00:07:40] Therefore, most of our students
[00:07:44] have left the area
[00:07:47] and have been displaced to other areas because of
[00:09:27] strikes between America and Iran have resumed.
[00:09:31] Israel is sitting and
[00:09:33] watching and waiting and monitoring any
[00:09:37] missile that falls from Iran on Israel. There is a very high probability that the
[00:09:40] war will resume here in Lebanon.
[00:11:00] They are saying Netanyahu wants to meet Trump today at
[00:11:03] 6. Is it possible that something will happen here in Acre? Yes,
[00:11:07] today at 6 PM there is a meeting. By God,
[00:11:10] father, the current situation does not reassure people.
[00:11:14] They are afraid
[00:11:17] and people are scared. I mean, people are packing their bags and
[00:11:20] ready to stay or leave, you know
[00:11:23] what I mean? So, I prefer that
[00:11:27] we wait and tell your brothers and what's his name that we can't
[00:11:30] bear it. I mean, when there's shelling, the first strike, we leave immediately.
[00:11:34] Keep your bags
[00:11:35] ready.
[00:11:42] We have to stay alert and
[00:11:44] we have to stay
[00:11:46] ready to leave because
[00:11:49] many people died and those who survived
[00:11:52] are lost. It's clear. And now
[00:11:55] those who are dying are not going for nothing. We don't know if the situation is calm or at
[00:11:59] war.
[00:12:01] That's all, what can you do? This
[00:12:05] is our life, God wrote for us to live in the south, and this
[00:12:08] is our life since I was born, and we got used to it.
[00:12:35] Bonjour, je suis Roland
[00:12:37] Okito,
[00:12:42] my father, Patrice Emer
[00:12:46] the Democratic Republic of Congo, saw clearly how the
[00:12:49] west sought to divide and control Africa, his words from the
[00:12:53] past still. true today. We know the
[00:12:57] objectives of the west. Yesterday, they divided us at the level
[00:13:00] of a tribe, clan, and village. They want to
[00:13:03] create antagonistic blocks, satellites. These
[00:13:07] words from the all-African conference in Leopoldville
[00:13:10] on 25 August, 1960, remind us
[00:13:13] the west has always thrived on division. They forced
[00:13:17] us into artificial borders into tribal conflicts, into economic
[00:13:21] dependence, and today they still try to split the world. into
[00:13:25] opposing factions. The western
[00:13:27] mindset has not changed. They see the world in terms of
[00:13:31] us versus them. If you do not align with their interests, you
[00:13:35] are treated as an enemy. But even if you do stand with them,
[00:13:39] what do you get? Your resources are stolen, your
[00:13:42] debts are multiplied, and your sovereignty is undermined.
[00:13:45] Their partnerships are not about mutual benefit, they are about
[00:13:49] control. Lamumba did not fight for an Africa that would become
[00:13:52] a pawn in global conflicts. He fought for an
[00:13:55] Africa that was strong, independent and prosperous. We
[00:13:59] do not need to pick sides in someone else's power struggles. We
[00:14:03] need to pick the path that brings prosperity to our people,
[00:14:07] and that path is through cooperation with those who see
[00:14:10] Africa as a partner, not as prey. Thank you for
[00:14:14] listening. I will see you next time here on
[00:14:17] RT.
[00:14:24] Attempts. to establish a complete cease fire in Lebanon met with
[00:14:27] failure, still diplomats decided to test a
[00:14:31] fragile formula in the village of Zata al
[00:14:34] Gabia. These uniform men are members of the Lebanese army,
[00:14:38] they've been tased with disarming Hezbulah soldiers.
[00:15:48] A very, very good
[00:15:52] waiting for this feeling for five months. We suffered injustice and
[00:15:55] oppression. We suffered the loss of our
[00:15:59] children. We suffered the loss of our homes
[00:16:03] pin means a lot to me because this is my heart. This
[00:16:08] is a resistance fighter, a resistance fighter in Hezbollah, an Islamic
[00:16:12] resistance. He remained in his position
[00:16:16] and was martyred and sacrificed his blood for his land
[00:16:18] and for the liberation of this land and for all of
[00:16:22] Lebanon to live with dignity and honor, not for
[00:16:26] a specific person or a specific group. We are defending all of Lebanon's land
[00:16:30] and we are proud of our martyrs and we are honored
[00:16:33] by our martyrs. And praise be to God, the blood
[00:16:36] has begun to flow.
[00:16:49] We have been waiting for a long time to enter this entry. Now, there is no
[00:16:53] feeling of victory to enter at our
[00:16:57] leisure as we please, but thank God, we are happy to be able to enter
[00:17:00] and see what the situation of our homes is, what the situation of the village is,
[00:17:04] to smell it a little, to see it.
[00:17:38] That's why people in uniform with Lebanese flags on their sleeves
[00:17:41] opened the roads and brought the local residents
[00:17:44] back. Diplomats agreed on the return of civilians to the
[00:17:48] village.
[00:17:50] They waited at the yellow line for the days and finally the
[00:17:54] Lebanese army allowed them to cross it.
[00:18:52] so the destruction is massive
[00:18:54] but you here everywhere so you ask the
[00:18:58] people you here we are with the
[00:19:01] resistant and we are not going to
[00:19:04] change our mind just because of... and unhuman
[00:19:12] the Israeli army
[00:19:15] and the Israeli policy buse Israeli
[00:19:18] policy don't mean to to them
[00:19:22] nothing all of the
[00:19:25] the human
[00:19:26] rights
[00:19:30] they just need the
[00:19:33] region
[00:19:35] and takes the people.
[00:19:38] to to live as a slave under their
[00:19:41] rules,
[00:19:45] people hoped to return to their homes, but all they found upon
[00:19:49] arrival were ruins.
[00:19:52] bewildered, they wondered among the rubble, having retrieved
[00:19:55] few surviving belongings, they returned to the yellow
[00:19:58] line.
[00:20:06] I am here. We have a monastery called the Monastery of Our Lady of
[00:20:09] the Annunciation, west of Zuta. Of course, we saw a lot of
[00:20:15] devastation, unfortunately. And here we go back to the idea
[00:20:18] of the Jew or the Israeli, that he does not distinguish between
[00:20:22] a monastery, a church, or a mosque, you know?
[00:20:25] What matters is that he achieves what he desires
[00:20:28] and what he wants. And this is, unfortunately,
[00:20:32] meaning we, meaning
[00:20:35] after the 2006 war, when it was built,
[00:20:39] we came back in 2024, there was
[00:20:42] also some destruction. We renovated it again,
[00:20:46] and now we need to renovate it again, and now
[00:20:48] the percentage has increased significantly. More yes.
[00:20:51] So continuity is always our
[00:20:54] motto, and we do not despair.
[00:22:08] despite all the warnings, some brave
[00:22:11] souls have started to repair the damaged
[00:22:13] buildings.
[00:22:37] By God, my friend, the owner of this
[00:22:39] building, I mean, he's a brave man, he took a
[00:22:44] stand. I mean, we started building
[00:22:48] this building before the war.
[00:22:50] But when the truce happened, he immediately called me and told me he wants to continue working
[00:22:54] to encourage people and for all people
[00:22:58] to be encouraged to bring life back to normal
[00:23:01] the war resumes and there will be some losses here,
[00:23:05] I have no problem, I want to get into this and work
[00:23:09] and continue.
[00:23:09] I have a dream
[00:24:46] After the church dome was exposed to
[00:24:50] one of the missiles, the dome was damaged and the
[00:24:54] bell, which used to
[00:24:57] electricity, was damaged. We insist on ringing
[00:25:00] the bells so that
[00:25:03] we inform everyone that our bells will keep
[00:25:06] ringing for prayer and to raise them
[00:25:10] for the sake of establishing peace throughout Lebanon and the whole
[00:25:13] world. This is our message from the
[00:25:16] Orthodox Church in Jdeidet Marjeyoun. We are advocates of peace,
[00:25:20] advocates of love, everyone to
[00:25:24] adhere to all legal and international
[00:25:27] values and principles. Our church always
[00:25:30] prays and loves peace. Pray
[00:25:34] for us so that peace may spread
[00:25:38] among us and among all
[00:25:40] the world.
[00:26:29] to know if you'll go to
[00:26:33] or if you'll have to go back and hide
[00:26:37] your excavators and remove your camouflage
[00:26:40] and your machines and take them out of the area because the situation
[00:26:43] is still very unstable. We have to keep following up, step by
[00:26:46] step. How much better physical fatigue is than psychological fatigue, my friend.
