by archyde

With the participation of acting stars Abed Fahd, Abdel Moneim Amayri, and Zina Makki, Sultan Al Tarab George Wassouf released his new song, “Betkalam Ali,” written by the Egyptian poet Amir Tuaima, composed by the Lebanese artist Ziad Bourji, and arranged by Zaher Deeb.

The new song was produced by Rodolphe Jabr, and it was filmed as a video clip in Lebanon, signed by director Elie Al-Samaan. The idea of ​​the clip was distinguished as a short dramatic film with the participation of the two Syrian stars, Abed Fahd and Abdel Moneim Amayri, so that the female lead will go to the Lebanese star Zina Makki. .

The new song also contains a special surprise, as it includes clips from the two songs “Wlad Al-Halal” by the late great artist Warda Al-Jazaeryia, and “Any tear of sadness” by the late Brown Nightingale Abdel Halim Hafez. The meanings of the two songs are consistent with the lyrics of the new song “Beetkalm Elia”.

The beginning of the song says:
“He speaks to me… He says that he is faithful to me.. And I have never heard of his biography except for good.”
This is what I never hurt… He let go of his comfort… although I can say a lot of things.”

Al-Wasuf recently performed a number of public concerts, the last of which was in the Riyadh season, on the island of Cyprus, and in the Egyptian city of Alexandria, to prepare for the completion of his upcoming artistic projects.

Rushing to buy safes… Lebanese homes are “a safe alternative to banks”

by archyde

Source: Sky News

I wrote Ikram Saab in Sky News Arabia website: Since the start of the crisis that struck the banking sector in Lebanon, and caused a lack of liquidity in banks and the failure to secure them for depositors in September 2019, the Lebanese rushed to save their deposits from melting, and then refrained from depositing their money in local banks, and most of them resorted to keeping it in their homes.

Homes in Lebanon witnessed a state of hoarding money away from banks, after the economic crisis led to the collapse of the value of the local currency, accompanied by a sharp rise in inflation and a great demand for the dollar, and keeping the green currency in homes became a common denominator for the Lebanese.

Lebanese experts estimate the amount of money stored in homes at about $10 billion, in order to resist any measures that might be issued by the Central Bank that would erode the value of savings.
Treasury trade

With the onset of the crisis with the banks, the trade in safes began to flourish, according to traders and buyers alike.

Ibrahim Abs, owner of a store selling safes in Beirut, told Sky News Arabia: “Our sales have increased by 50 percent over previous periods. Before the crisis, banks were our most prominent customers, but today their depositors are the ones who buy.”

Samer, a worker who works in an electrical appliance store in the Lebanese capital, added, “We receive dozens of customers who ask about the type of iron safes we have, including those who make their decisions quickly and buy, and those who go to come back the next day and buy.”

And he speaks to “Sky News Arabia”, saying: “We are currently displaying safes in the fronts of our stores, so that they are the first commodities that customers see when they enter, in order to facilitate the sale.”
Samer continues, “The prices of safes usually range between 70 and 250 dollars, and they are insured against fire and theft, and their weight varies between 7 and 400 kilograms. They are made of steel and lined with insulating materials against fire.”

A woman who was wandering around the markets looking for iron safes says that this method “is the only solution to keep money. It can be hiddenly installed in the wardrobe or anywhere else the owner chooses, to keep his money in it as a small depositor.”

And she added to “Sky News Arabia”: “After the banks closed their doors in our faces and withheld our money deposited with them under the pretext of lack of cash liquidity, keeping our money at home has become at the forefront of our concern.”

In recent months, Lebanon’s banks have witnessed incidents of gun threats from depositors who want to withdraw their dollar balances, while banks refuse to disburse them due to lack of liquidity.

Russia is preparing for something big and unexpected, even if it makes the whole world die! – Video • Al Marsad Newspaper

by

Al-Marsad Newspaper: A Saudi political analyst said that what is going on in the minds of some of Russia’s exposure to a crushing defeat in Ukraine, and its retreat at the military level there, due to the internal crises it is exposed to, is just an illusion.

And the political analyst added in a video clip, which he shared via the “Tik Tok” application: a Western delusion, an American delusion, and even an illusion of the general public, indicating that Russia did not enter the war expecting defeat, even if it made the whole world die.

And he added, Russia is an existential battle, in order to achieve its independence and the security of its country and people, because Ukraine has become more comfortable with the West.

The analyst saw that Russia is continuing with its plan and achieving its goals, and if it has lost, Ukraine has also suffered losses, three times what Russia has lost.

And the political analyst considered that Russia’s retreat in Kherson does not mean defeat, because the war is hit and run, indicating that it will win and that it is now preparing for something big and unexpected.

An asteroid the size of Burj Khalifa will pass by Earth on Tuesday.. Will it collide with it?

by archyde

Source: Arabic

An asteroid, with a diameter the size of Burj Khalifa, the tallest skyscraper in the world, will pass near Earth tomorrow, Tuesday, which may “pose a danger,” according to the USA Today website.

The asteroid, called “2022 RM4”, is 330-740 meters long, which is slightly less than the length of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. It will pass near the Earth at a speed of about 52,500 miles per hour (84,000 kilometers per hour), nearly 68 times the speed of sound.
It is mentioned that the actual distance between the Earth and the asteroid is six times the distance between the Earth and the Moon, which is a very close distance by cosmic standards. The asteroid will reach approximately 1.43 million miles from Earth when it reaches its closest point on Tuesday.
The asteroid will get close enough to Earth, and it will be large enough for astronomers to photograph with a telescope.
“Asteroid 2022 RM4” was discovered by astronomers through the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System in Haleakala, Hawaii, on September 12. A NASA laboratory classifies it as a “near-Earth object (…) and a potentially dangerous asteroid.”
The question that worries everyone, will that giant asteroid hit the Earth?
In answering this question, NASA denied the possibility of that asteroid hitting the Earth, and estimated the trajectories of all near-Earth objects over the next 100 years, and determined that the planet did not face a known danger from a horrific asteroid collision, according to the American newspaper.

Bassil pushes into the void… Mikati clings to his scourge and Hezbollah is not in a hurry to settle

by archyde

The severity of the political differences over the completion of the constitutional benefits (the prime minister and the presidency) indicates that Lebanon entered a period of institutional vacuum, just days before the end of President Michel Aoun’s term, and in light of a caretaker government that seems to be largely restricted in running the affairs of the presidency, which deepens problems The Lebanese.

The head of the Free Patriotic Movement, Gebran Bassil, considered on Tuesday that the caretaker government cannot assume the powers of the presidency in the event of a vacancy, because it lacks its legitimacy.

Bassil said, “Whoever thinks that the caretaker government will assume the powers of the presidency is mistaken. This is a violation of the constitution, and it is a constitutional body that has lost its legitimacy and charter.”

And he declared that the caretaker prime minister “wants to challenge a government that takes the powers of the president of the republic and takes the country to sedition, just as someone who wants a defiant president. This is a constitutional massacre that we will not allow and we will confront with all our might.”

In the event of a vacuum, presidential powers are transferred to the government headed by Najib Mikati. However, Prime Minister Mikati’s government has limited its role to conducting business since the parliamentary elections in May.

Analysts say this means it is unable to make big decisions that include international agreements. This could complicate finalizing a draft agreement with the International Monetary Fund to provide much-needed aid, assuming ruling politicians eventually implement the long-awaited reforms needed to seal the deal.

Observers believe that Bassil takes the release of the constitutional institutions as a card to obtain political gains, as he still considers himself a natural candidate to succeed Aoun in Baabda Palace, despite the lack of enthusiasm by his allies (Hezbollah – Amal Movement) to recommend him.

They affirm that the election of a new president for Lebanon is mainly linked to the formation of a new government in which the Free Patriotic Movement will have a balanced representation, despite the decline in its electoral results and its popularity within its Christian environment, which is rejected by Mikati, who remained open to modifications in the proposed government structure, which President Aoun rejected at the time. former.

The current’s relationship with the prime minister-designate has worsened since the latter presented a government formation to President Aoun two months ago, which included reducing his share in the government cabinet, in line with the decline the party witnessed during the legislative elections held on the fifteenth of last May.

According to the government formation presented, Mikati withdrew the Energy Ministry from the Free Patriotic Movement, which the latter considered prejudice against him.

The Ministry of Energy is not the only cause of the heated dispute between Mikati and Bassil, which in turn extended to the presidency, since President Aoun, whose term ends on the 31st of next October, is the founder of the Free Patriotic Movement, and will return to his presidency after the end of his term.

Sources pointed out that the problem is still when President Aoun demands to keep the Ministry of Energy from his share and that of the Free Patriotic Movement or to replace the Ministry of Interior with it, which Mikati rejects, who gave it to a Sunni figure in the 24 ministers he presented to Aoun, and kept the Ministry of Interior with the Sunni sect. .

They point out that disrupting the formation of the new Lebanese government and maintaining the current caretaker government serve Aoun’s agendas, given that the current enjoys ministerial weight in it that enables him to disrupt the government’s tasks if it is entrusted with the tasks of managing presidential affairs.

Bassil demands in advance to know the position of the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance regarding lifting the cover and protection for the Governor of the Banque du Liban, Riad Salameh, to dismiss him.

It also calls for the commitment of the Prime Minister, the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Finance to facilitate the termination of the judicial investigation into the crime of the explosion of the currently frozen port of Beirut, due to the lawsuits filed by some of the persons prosecuted by the investigative judge against the latter, and which are pending in the accusatory panel at the Court of Cassation.

Bassil insists on the presence of politicians in the government, which reflects his desire to be a minister in it in order for the prime minister to participate in obtaining the powers of the presidency when a presidential vacuum arises, and thus he has a role in choosing the next president through his influence on government decisions and his influence over them if this prolonged The vacuum, as long as he cannot be elected, is due to the US sanctions imposed on him since November 2020.

It seems that Hezbollah is not in a hurry to reach a political settlement, except for some efforts led by its ally, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, to bring the positions closer.

Hezbollah has not yet announced its presidential candidate, despite the failure of the Lebanese parliament four times to elect a new president, while its moves behind the scenes do not seem serious to accelerate the formation of the new government.

Observers say that Hezbollah prefers not to resolve its presidential and governmental orientations than to expedite them without a clear international and regional approach to dealing with the Lebanese crisis.
