[00:00:01] but this home owner has decided to pursue a practical hedge against
[00:00:05] of rising electricity bills. we decided to
[00:00:08] switch to solar because electricity builds are
[00:00:11] of getting more expensive and there have been frequent power cuts
[00:00:14] recently. these are the reasons why we decided to invest in
[00:00:18] solar panels. even if we don't achieve a zero bill, we
[00:00:22] will still save lot. the Philippine government has targeted mix
[00:00:26] of renewable energy by 2030, but many in the industry say,
[00:00:30] the solar surge is a bottom up phenomenon.
[00:00:34] our objective is to save. our objective was to
[00:00:37] of help clients to save money on electricity bills
[00:00:40] only, but since the US, Israeli, Iran war
[00:00:44] started, our clients are now looking for more security
[00:00:47] than savings, because as you can see other
[00:00:51] countries are very dependent on oil, some have experienced
[00:00:55] nationwide blackouts, so our clients are preparing for
[00:00:59] that kind of
[00:00:59] of scenario. here in the Philippines the country has become a massive
[00:01:03] importer of solar panels this year, becoming the second largest
[00:01:07] buyer from China, according to Ember, a global energy
[00:01:10] of think tank report. The report also found that rooftop
[00:01:14] installations in the Philippines nearly doubled since early
[00:01:17] 2025. Solar
[00:01:19] in panels continue to go down in price, right? So that's
[00:01:23] something which the Philippines will actually be able to
[00:01:27] take advantage of. Solar adaptation is a
[00:01:31] trend not only seen here
[00:01:33] a though,
[00:01:34] of Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia and Indonesia have all been
[00:01:38] pushing to make the
[00:01:41] a switch, yet the upfront costs remain out of reach for many. It
[00:01:45] could cost a typical Filipina household about $3,00 to
[00:01:48] $5 to install the systems.
[00:01:52] That's likely too much for most middle income
[00:01:54] of families, but the bigger issue seems to be red
[00:01:58] tape, permissions and approvals for great
[00:02:01] a connection is becoming a long and strenuous
[00:02:03] process. Many Filipinos hope the government will
[00:02:07] make it easier for them to tap into solar energy
[00:02:11] and cut electricity costs. Rahul radhakrishnan, TRT
[00:02:15] World. And
[00:02:17] of that is the news for now. Newsmakers is
[00:02:19] next.
[00:02:25] me
[00:02:33] of With
[00:02:37] dozens of towns
[00:02:38] of occupied and the south still under attack, will Israel
[00:02:42] remain in Lebanon? Representatives from both countries and the
[00:02:46] US return to the table for seventh round of talks in Rome,
[00:02:50] but with Hesbollah refusing to disarm until Israel leaves, while
[00:02:53] Israel refuses to leave until Hezbulah disarms. Can peace
[00:02:57] talks really succeed? I'm Andrea Sanki and
[00:03:01] today's news maker is
[00:03:04] of Lebanon.
[00:03:08] in
[00:03:19] Well, it's obvious you have to manage expectations when a lead negotiator
[00:03:23] says, peace talks shouldn't move too
[00:03:26] of quickly. That is not what hundreds of thousands of displaced people want to hear.
[00:03:30] Desperate to return home, some have made their way back to villages left in ruins
[00:03:34] in southern Lebanon, with occupying Israeli forces never far
[00:03:38] away. It's added more hardship to
[00:03:40] of the country marking six years since its capital city was
[00:03:44] virtually destroyed in the Bayrut port explosion. So
[00:03:48] of while Lebanon's people remain as resilient as ever, will they actually
[00:03:52] get the peace and accountability they
[00:03:54] of deserve. Here's a look. The latest
[00:03:58] Israel Lebanon talks are. about negotiating another peace
[00:04:02] me deal, they're about assessing whether the one already agreed
[00:04:06] can actually work. for the first time since
[00:04:09] 1993, Israeli and lebanese officials have been meeting
[00:04:13] directly marking
[00:04:14] a diplomatic breakthrough after decades without face to face
[00:04:18] talks, but turning that breakthrough into peace may
[00:04:21] prove far more difficult. at the heart
[00:04:24] of the framework is faced Israeli withdrawal from southern
[00:04:28] Lebanon. the... first test is series of so-called pilot
[00:04:32] zones. Under the plan, Israeli forces would gradually
[00:04:36] withdraw, the Lebanese army would take over security, and
[00:04:39] the
[00:04:40] model would then be expanded elsewhere. But after weeks of
[00:04:44] in of negotiations, only one pilot zone
[00:04:46] of has been
[00:04:47] of implemented. in That slow progress reflects the
[00:04:50] deeper problem. Every stage
[00:04:53] of the framework depends on another one. Israel once Hezbulat
[00:04:57] disarmed before completing his withdrawal.
[00:05:00] of Hezbollah insists there will be no disarmment while Israeli troops remain
[00:05:04] inside Lebanon. The talks also exposed one
[00:05:08] of the biggest gaps in the process. Hesbullah remains outside the negot.
[00:05:12] and rejects the very premise it's built
[00:05:15] on. we consider that all direct
[00:05:19] negotiations with Israel have brought nothing but shame,
[00:05:22] humiliation, disappointment and continuous
[00:05:25] concessions. the divisions are not confined to
[00:05:29] the negotiating table, Israeli military operations have continued
[00:05:33] across southern Lebanon, raising concerns that
[00:05:36] implementation remains far more fragile than the agreement
[00:05:40] itself. the UN inter in Lebanon continues to
[00:05:44] observe daily Israeli violations of Lebanese
[00:05:46] airspace. Between Thursday and Sunday, peacekeepers recorded
[00:05:50] 125 air violations with a combined total overflight
[00:05:54] time exceeding 418 hours.
[00:05:58] Surveillance and arm drones were observed near or above unifill positions in both
[00:06:02] sectors. Peacekeepers also report extensive military activity
[00:06:06] on the ground in south Lebanon, including significant engineering works and
[00:06:09] active troop movements. For display. Lebanese that's
[00:06:13] delaying any return to normal life, some families have
[00:06:17] gone back to their villages, many others are still waiting with
[00:06:21] Israeli troops remaining in parts the south and entire
[00:06:24] communities left in
[00:06:26] ruins. We can say that the
[00:06:30] matter cannot be measured in terms of time, but rather in terms
[00:06:34] of solutions, and the solutions are very complicated when
[00:06:38] it comes to completely withdrawing Hezbollah's weapons from within
[00:06:41] Lebanon. "the issue goes beyond the national sphere, it
[00:06:45] may even have regional dimension. Therefore, I
[00:06:49] believe that the timeline for the Israeli occupation will be
[00:06:53] a long time. The negotiations have reached a new
[00:06:56] stage, the diplomacy and the conflict, however,
[00:07:00] still appear to be moving
[00:07:02] on two very different tracks. So our Lebanon
[00:07:06] Israel peace talks a positive trajectory or just barely maintaining
[00:07:10] lull in this war. We'll joining me now." are from Tel
[00:07:13] Aviv, political analyst and contributor to Herets, akiva
[00:07:17] Eldar, from Boston, public policy fellow at the American University
[00:07:21] of Beirut, Rami Khuuri, and from Beirut, geopolitical
[00:07:24] analyst Joe Makahon, thank you all so much for being with me,
[00:07:28] Joe, you are in Beirut where you just
[00:07:31] marked six years since the Beirot port
[00:07:34] explosion on Tuesday, so my condolence is there, let ask
[00:07:38] though, how are you personally feeling about?
[00:07:42] where your country is headed right now given the state of political
[00:07:46] affairs as well as these continuing talks in in
[00:07:50] uh with
[00:07:50] Israel?
[00:07:54] well you s sumed
[00:07:56] up the major problems in labanon so i'm gonna try as much as possible
[00:08:00] to in few seconds to answer that
[00:08:04] mean the way what we reach at this point
[00:08:08] is series of state collapse
[00:08:11] regional. intervention, decades of
[00:08:15] mismanaging public
[00:08:19] affairs, but now we are a very critical moment, I
[00:08:23] think an era is ending in South Stebern, the way we know
[00:08:26] it, but we are transitioning to something that's not very
[00:08:29] clear yet, and it's being forced imposed
[00:08:33] by force, whether the Israeli force and the US
[00:08:37] support for this force, and this is
[00:08:41] my... bring some temporary resolution,
[00:08:45] but it's not going to bring a long term. now Lebanon is in
[00:08:49] limbo, is waiting for US Iran basically
[00:08:52] talks, and we have these talks in Rome as you mentioned this
[00:08:55] week, without the clear road map, maybe we will
[00:08:59] discuss it later in detail, but I think all
[00:09:03] the problems now I mentioned are
[00:09:06] really the culmination of it is what's happening in in
[00:09:10] South Levan at this moment. Okay, uh,
[00:09:14] let ask, Romy,
[00:09:16] you know, Joe says it's not a clear road map, um,
[00:09:20] and that they're transitioning right now in in Lebanon, this also something that's
[00:09:24] just not very clear, but they they at least have these pilot
[00:09:27] zones, do you think they're working, and are they really the
[00:09:31] best indicator of of actual
[00:09:33] progress? Well, they're working as they're
[00:09:37] supposed to work, which is to reaffirm Israeli-American
[00:09:41] superiority. and and sovereign
[00:09:45] control over South Lebanon and forcing
[00:09:49] the Lebanese government to comply with what Israel
[00:09:52] wants, so in that respect they are working. most
[00:09:56] the world doesn't think, I think most the region and much the world
[00:10:00] doesn't think this is a really fair and
[00:10:03] legitimate and equitable process
[00:10:06] and like the board of peace
[00:10:09] in in Gaza and and some
[00:10:13] the things that were developed with
[00:10:16] Iran and the US under American pressure,
[00:10:20] these are not serious uh peace
[00:10:23] processes or... movement towards
[00:10:27] a mechanism for peaceful
[00:10:30] coexistence in the long run, unlike say what you saw in
[00:10:34] northern Ireland or Southern Africa, which did lead to an
[00:10:37] equitable peace, so in that respect, no, they're not
[00:10:41] uh, they're not real progress uh, in the
[00:10:44] long run, and they, but if they can spark
[00:10:47] a push by all sides
[00:10:51] to get to the next stage that is more equitable,
[00:10:55] "for instance, the Lebanese should determine where do the Israelis withdraw
[00:10:59] from in phase two. In phase one, the Israelies said we're getting out these
[00:11:02] areas, some
[00:11:03] of which they didn't even occupy. Phase two, maybe Lebanon should say,
[00:11:07] well, these are the villages you got to get out of, and these are the areas you
[00:11:11] have to stop bombing. Something like that could rectify the
[00:11:15] imbalances now, but that rarely happens, but we'll just have to wait
[00:11:18] and see, the Lebanese are very talented people, but it depends on whether the
[00:11:22] US comes down. equitably for Israel and
[00:11:26] Lebanon or continues to push a process that favors what
[00:11:30] Israel wants? so you're saying
[00:11:32] that the pilot zones could somehow
[00:11:35] spark the real progress, but there's
[00:11:39] this overlying concern that, well Israel has definitely
[00:11:43] highlighted this, that Hezbulah will try to return
[00:11:46] to these pilot zones once it's established that the
[00:11:50] Lebanese army is in control. do you
[00:11:54] see that?
[00:11:55] as is something quite possible or is are you
[00:11:59] suspicious that Israel is looking for excuses to either stay as
[00:12:03] an occupier or be able to return
[00:12:05] later? the
[00:12:08] you know hizballah is issue but it's not the issue. the
[00:12:11] issue is the tensions between
[00:12:14] zionist colonial expansion, american
[00:12:18] support for that and inadequate lebanese
[00:12:22] and arab government systems and foreign
[00:12:25] manipulation interference in the region since the
[00:12:28] 1920s, that's the real problem, so the
[00:12:32] hezballah is willing to make like Hamas
[00:12:35] and Palestine, is willing to make reasonable concessions
[00:12:39] if the core root the problem is addressed,
[00:12:43] which is Israeli occupation
[00:12:45] and okay, Hamas, Hezball
[00:12:49] was born to push back Israel to get them out of Lebanon, they
[00:12:53] weren't born for anything. Okay, I'm going to follow
[00:12:57] up with that in just second with Joe, but first I have to ask
[00:13:00] akiva, because on the Israeli
[00:13:03] side, I i mentioned the suspicions that Israel already
[00:13:07] has, and it's also said that it, it has to
[00:13:10] verify somehow that Hezbulah has
[00:13:13] disarmed, how would that ever happen, and I
[00:13:16] mean then you have to also quash the suspicions that Israel
[00:13:20] has that the Lebanese army is somehow going to cooperate with Hesbolah.
[00:13:25] uh, because that's just what they do, and again it opens the
[00:13:29] door to prolonged
[00:13:30] occupation. well, I can tell
[00:13:34] you when it's probably not going to happen, and
[00:13:38] this is between now to October 27th,
[00:13:42] until the the elections in Israel, because
[00:13:45] what the current government is doing is looking
[00:13:49] at every strategic question
[00:13:53] from,
[00:13:53] you know, through the lenses. the
[00:13:57] balloting boxes to the elections and
[00:14:01] right now there are still having a problem
[00:14:05] convincing the communities in the israel there was a
[00:14:09] kind of symmetry that we are doing
[00:14:12] between the Israeli
[00:14:14] refugees that had to leave their
[00:14:17] homes during the war that started all
[00:14:21] this and started the reoccupation of uh
[00:14:25] southern Lebanon, and they are also
[00:14:28] demanding some kind of guarantees
[00:14:32] from the current government that it will not happen to
[00:14:35] them again, there are still people who move to
[00:14:39] the center of Israel and they are not back yet because they don't
[00:14:43] feel safe, so Netanyahu right now is
[00:14:47] looking every morning at the polls
[00:14:50] and he's not happy with what he sees
[00:14:53] and... "and probably
[00:14:57] the good news is that in October
[00:15:01] we will have another government that will look
[00:15:05] at the Israeli international relationship
[00:15:09] and public relations of Israel a different
[00:15:12] way, different from what Netanyahu was suggesting
[00:15:16] a super sparta, he said
[00:15:18] in on
[00:15:19] the in the kness that he sees himself as the
[00:15:23] Israeli Churchil that..."
[00:15:25] offers um kind
[00:15:28] of blood, tears and
[00:15:32] sweat with no deadline,
[00:15:35] and the... other problem is that even the
[00:15:39] Israeli opposition, the leaders the
[00:15:42] parties that will probably be in power, are not
[00:15:46] mentioning anything about withdrawal from Lebanon
[00:15:50] or even talking about the two state
[00:15:52] solution, there is no leadership
[00:15:56] that is suggesting a deadline for the
[00:16:00] Israeli occupation and timeline, they are
[00:16:04] talking about sequence, first they have to stop terrorism. first we
[00:16:08] have to this make sure that to disarm
[00:16:11] hizballah and the Hamas, but they
[00:16:15] don't offer anything, they are blaming government for
[00:16:19] outsourcing Israel security, outsourcing to the
[00:16:22] Lebanese government, to President Trump when it comes to
[00:16:26] Iran and to the new peace
[00:16:29] council in in Gaza. Okay,
[00:16:33] um, let me come back to uh, Joe in Beirut.
[00:16:37] because I need to pick up on something that Rami had said, he he seems to have some
[00:16:41] confidence that Hezbulah would act in good
[00:16:45] faith if um Israel were to to
[00:16:48] withdraw, however Hezbulah says that these talks alone have brought
[00:16:52] so much, you know shame and humiliation to Lebanon, but at the same
[00:16:56] time many Lebaneses actually feel humiliated by Hezbulah
[00:17:00] because it's a non-state actor that they say has seated
[00:17:04] their sovereignty to foreign power.
[00:17:08] "and that Hesbololah goes
[00:17:09] goes ahead and makes unilateral decisions to you, attack Israel and then
[00:17:12] complains on behalf of Iran for that matter, and then complains that,
[00:17:16] the constitution is being violated because they didn't get to
[00:17:20] agree to negotiations, so how
[00:17:23] dangerous is that difference of opinion
[00:17:26] alone within
[00:17:28] Lebanon? I mean, regardless
[00:17:32] the emotion and ideological differences that
[00:17:36] are very you know..." a high level and level on for
[00:17:39] me, i like to focus on how how the policies
[00:17:42] are, obviously we have now
[00:17:46] two visions of foreign policies in in, one is
[00:17:49] betting on what's happening on the SR talks, the other one is
[00:17:53] betting on on the talks with directly with Israel through
[00:17:57] yes mediation and neither can reach very
[00:18:01] clear solution, now we have a framework
[00:18:05] agreement, we have especially security and you mention pilot
[00:18:09] zones, they don't address the core the problem, which has
[00:18:13] been in the last two years since the last fire in November
[00:18:16] 2024, is how you deal with the issue of disarmment and
[00:18:20] withdrawal? they tried the step by step, netanyahu government
[00:18:24] refused, now they are trying to buil it
[00:18:26] zone, there are
[00:18:30] some structural problems in the security annex that makes the
[00:18:34] the framework agreement unable to reach that, it's going to stop at some point because neither
[00:18:37] Israel, neither, and there are no
[00:18:41] mechanism to force them to do this, so the agreement was was signed
[00:18:45] on the assumption that hisballah will voluntary
[00:18:48] accept, because neither Israel government
[00:18:52] can disarm by force as we saw in in the
[00:18:56] last year, so it's a very complex issue, part of
[00:18:59] it,
[00:19:00] it it has to related to decision tehran because the
[00:19:03] US talks, part of it are libanese israeleli
[00:19:07] long decades of of
[00:19:10] tension, especially what most
[00:19:14] ofese perceive as continuous
[00:19:17] Israeli aggression as we see in the last strike in Beirot just
[00:19:21] before the last spire, and we have problems inside Lebanon, which is the
[00:19:25] relation between the government and hasballah, how it will be
[00:19:28] after after these these stocks or whatever is happening
[00:19:32] on the border, so those are all complex issue, but but the
[00:19:36] framework and... agreement presented by the US now in these
[00:19:40] talks doesn't dissolve resolve the same the core dilemma or the
[00:19:44] core problem uh what's happening at sous level
[00:19:48] yeah let me come to Romy because joe has mentioned
[00:19:51] this uh alluded to this several times
[00:19:54] now you tell us how much you think the peace
[00:19:58] process in Lebanon is just contingent on the
[00:20:02] US war on Iran and the position Tehran takes
[00:20:05] and the position the US takes. "I think they're directly
[00:20:09] linked, they're not only linked in short-term that the Iranians are
[00:20:12] insisting that the fighting stop in Lebanon for the
[00:20:16] US, Iran and Israel, Iran fighting to
[00:20:20] stop, they're linked a very much more
[00:20:24] important and older way, which people in the west, and
[00:20:28] I think in Israel probably, but akiva can tell us more and
[00:20:31] that the people don't understand very well, the
[00:20:34] the in the middle east..." that are
[00:20:38] most active in resisting Israel in the
[00:20:41] US are Lebanon, Palestine,
[00:20:44] Iran. What do those four
[00:20:48] countries have in common? they are the countries that probably have been
[00:20:52] more ravaged, manipulated, occupied,
[00:20:56] humiliated and and overall
[00:21:00] beaten up by western and or
[00:21:03] Israeli colonial interventions in the last
[00:21:06] 120 years,
[00:21:09] Iran, and Yemen, it's
[00:21:13] not by accident that these countries
[00:21:16] together continue to push back, and and for.
[00:21:21] and saying you can't forcibly disarm somebody like
[00:21:25] hizballah because they've tried it and l in gaza with
[00:21:29] hamas with a massive force destroying
[00:21:33] gaza and they've tried it in Iran and it hasn't
[00:21:36] worked you so if if the Israelis and
[00:21:39] Americans are and and
[00:21:43] Palestine they're not going to get anywhere in Lebanon that's why they've
[00:21:47] come up with this you know sort of uh make
[00:21:50] believe political process in
[00:21:54] Lebanon, starting in Rome, which is nice place to start, because it's
[00:21:57] a great place to visit, but now they're really not
[00:22:01] getting anywhere very significant because they're running up against the
[00:22:04] core issue of of Hisballah has to
[00:22:08] be involved any negotiations like the Vietnam war,
[00:22:12] like the Taliban war and like Hamas was, eventually you've got to sit with
[00:22:16] Hisballah and the Lebanese government all together, I don't... think the
[00:22:20] Lebanese government and Hizballah will have a problem in reaching an
[00:22:23] agreement ultimately, the problem is more with the
[00:22:27] Israelis and the and the Americans and
[00:22:30] possibly the Iranians, but yes the linkages are
[00:22:34] are deep and old and they have to be appreciated.
[00:22:38] Okay, let me come to Akiva then, because just quickly
[00:22:41] akiva, there's the long-term issue as
[00:22:44] well, and the question over how
[00:22:47] motivated Israel and especially certain
[00:22:51] Israelis are to hold to the
[00:22:55] Lebanese land that they are now occupying, it's still part of this
[00:22:58] greater Israel vision that one would hope with the next
[00:23:02] election will be diminished, but how serious are the
[00:23:06] chances that it won't be diminished, and Israel has every
[00:23:09] motivation to keep holding to the land it's taken,
[00:23:13] believing it is
[00:23:14] theirs,
[00:23:18] the Israeli people, have lost faith in
[00:23:22] the
[00:23:22] in the kness, in the government, and this
[00:23:26] is, as I mentioned, this is something that
[00:23:30] hopefully will change in October,
[00:23:34] but we hope that the next prime minister will
[00:23:37] probably be the best chances
[00:23:40] is Gudy Isencop, who was a chief of staff,
[00:23:44] and I, I know him quite well, and I
[00:23:48] believe that, "unlike Netanjahu, he
[00:23:51] doesn't believe that the name the game
[00:23:55] is catch as much as you can, territories,
[00:23:59] if the hizballah will
[00:24:02] strike the Israeli northern communities,
[00:24:06] then we will occupy five kilometers,
[00:24:09] then if they strike the Israeli soldiers
[00:24:13] or they undermine the Israeli
[00:24:16] occupation along the new line then..." we
[00:24:20] capture more land. This is the
[00:24:23] same thing they are doing in Gaza,
[00:24:27] holding more than 60% the
[00:24:31] territories of Gaza, and in the West Bank. Next year, we
[00:24:34] will mark 60 years to the occupation the West
[00:24:38] Bank, and if you ask the Israeli,
[00:24:42] average them the Israeli who most were born after
[00:24:46] 67, born into the situation.
[00:24:50] of occupation, they will tell you that we can't afford to give
[00:24:54] up territories, because this is the only
[00:24:56] guarantee we have for our
[00:25:00] security, they will tell you, no, we are not
[00:25:03] interested in territories, it's all about security, now you need
[00:25:07] a third party here, and the Israelis have
[00:25:11] to know that there is something else that they can lose, it's not
[00:25:15] just security, and security is not
[00:25:17] equal. to territories, as
[00:25:21] Rami said, this is colonialism, and colonialism is
[00:25:25] b for me, is bad for my children, because
[00:25:29] the Palestinians or the Lebanese, more than
[00:25:33] 300 thousand people, including children
[00:25:36] and old people will not forget what's happening in
[00:25:40] 26, it will take decades to come to
[00:25:44] terms with the existence of Israel and to believe the
[00:25:47] Israelis that... is not what
[00:25:51] Netanyahu was suggesting, an extra
[00:25:55] large Sparta, okay,
[00:25:57] and this initiative waiting for
[00:26:01] us on the shelf. "and we just need to pick it up.
[00:26:04] I'll tell you what, uh,
[00:26:06] we we are down to our last minute and a half, so Joe, I just have to come full
[00:26:10] circle with you, because on Tuesday, as we mentioned, it was the six-year anniversary
[00:26:13] the Bayroot port explosion, and Lebanon's information
[00:26:17] minister has said that indictments will be issued
[00:26:21] within months, uh, in part because they're no
[00:26:24] longer hindered by the former government. I'm bringing this up because it
[00:26:28] is so important to talk about the state of Lebanon.
[00:26:32] internally, so will the Lebanese people finally get
[00:26:36] justice and accountability, and is this finally a real opportunity
[00:26:40] for this government to deliver something to the
[00:26:43] people and build the confidence that it really needs, or do
[00:26:47] you fear it will become more
[00:26:49] divisive? I
[00:26:53] hope that, I was on the march on August 4th
[00:26:56] that went from downtown to the port and and you see the families
[00:27:00] of of of the... 'who who died on that day and you
[00:27:04] see that after six years, it's not about what
[00:27:08] the the state did do or not do, but
[00:27:12] it what allowed to happen that you have those natural ammonium
[00:27:15] basically that crossed all the security
[00:27:18] personnel in in the airport and arrived, until
[00:27:21] now not one person was was
[00:27:24] detained, not one press conference by any government official to explain the
[00:27:28] process, there's now an indictment is going through'.
[00:27:32] clearance, there's no public pressure to
[00:27:36] release it by the end the year, we are hearing that maybe
[00:27:40] there are 70 might be indicted, it's it's going to be
[00:27:43] cross political class, not only one
[00:27:47] one one major political party, we have
[00:27:50] 2019 the collapse and all the
[00:27:54] what happened, so we we have a state basically who
[00:27:58] killed this people and let the financial collapse and
[00:28:02] able to to have clear foreign policy and protect the border,
[00:28:06] so this is defining moment, I think for the guard government, for the guard president
[00:28:10] to basically allow to have
[00:28:14] some to make sure that there's a trial and
[00:28:18] to make sure that this not gonna repeat again,
[00:28:22] because I it's hard to imagine,
[00:28:26] I think what the big of explosion was on August
[00:28:29] 400, yeah, and it it could prove a unifier. if handled
[00:28:33] finally with real accountability, but unfortunately Joe, we're going to have to leave
[00:28:37] it there. I'd like to thank all three of you so much for being with us on this edition the
