Samantha for more on the reaction from theebanese movement correspondent in beirut. Almost i everyon putting the blame on someone else. You know, because many people are pointing the finger at hezbollah because they are the only ones who are militants here in lebanon.

That is why he wanted to come out and say they had nothing to do with it, that they had no weapons, o nothing stored here at the port. Joining me here on this bulletin is a prominent journalist to hitalk about what do you make of what hes just said today . We did t expect much out of him or the president. This country is ruled b criminal politicians. Everyone is responsible for what happened today. But we are fusing on him because he is the real ruler of the country. He has the president , the prime minister, the wholeha cabinet, d of the parliament. He is responsible. Again, this country is runy criminal politicians. What happened is not a catastrophe,t is a crime, a targeted crime. Those in power should be held responsibl this time, we dont want to be resilient and lets get over it. We dont want to get over it. We want to be angry becausehe we want people to be accountable. How are you going to be able to enforce this accountability . Seu have been professing since october 2019 becf corruption because of the economy, because of the political divide. Y is about safety as well he how are you going to enforce any change . Weill keep doing what we have done in the past few protes exposing corruptio, ngnths. Exposing criminat. We donnt to seek any militants activities. And we dont expect the worldo support us. We have been let down several times, and now, relying on international intervention, although sometimes it is needed and something that we cannot depend on. That was a journalist on the latest in lebanon. We can seething anger among many lebanese, escially after the statements from sie pnt and from the leader of hezbollah. Cue operations are stil ongoing and the missing are still looking for, and the damage is still being trying to recover the damage he or the question remains on how the lebanese will be able to stand up out of this crisis, and be able to bring about change .

Ni it was ammoum nitrate. Fertilizer. It is a d so dangerous that you cannot transport it. Oit was in baone ton each. 2750 bags. The ship sailed. I came to turkey already loaded, then we went to greece and in beirut and we were meant to go into mozambie. Why did you go to beirut . What did you have to do there . The owner was looking for a next or congo because he did not have any money, and we would have to pay for passage. He decided wshould go to beirut. He found a cargo there. Weed rea reboot of the cargo was heavy, so we cannot load it. The hches buckled. We cannot take it. We refused. That is how it got stuck. Some of the crew flew home, but the captain and three others had to stay on board with a volatile cargo. It took months of protestsnd a court caseo release them. The beirut authorities would not let us go because the owner did not pay them. There was a fine for refusing extra cargo and the port fees, so they impounded theefhip team they us as hostages. On the boats . Yes and we were there 10 with his money, you think . Mean i dont know. I unthinkable someone would abandon their crew like that and not pay. The shipowners dont give a dam. Theyust want to rake in the money. Eventually, we sold some of the ships field unemployed a lawyer the money after three month in court, the lebanese let us go. What condition was the cargo inyou left the ship . It was all fine. In good condition. I locked all of the compartments, put pa on. Ahead of the keys to the immigration officer in the port. That is all. You think this was just an accident . The authorities i beirut knew it was a dangerous cargo, but it should not be in the port. They should have the owner a couple of hundred thousand dollars just to take ship away. Just so they did not have that headache in the port. I understand they wanted to get the money, but if they had known that there would be an explosion like that, they would not have done it for cargo was dangerous. Blit could havn it any moment.
