All this and more this Thursday on MOI! Merci beaucoup, Dalal!

This week, we discuss the Port of Beirut explosion that is the larges non-nuclear blast we have experienced in the modern world. This explosion, while still under investigation is believed to have been more violent due to the ammonium nitrate being stored in a decrepit warehouse.... next to fireworks. Yes, you read that correctly. This explosion would consume the lives of 218, injure 7,000, leave hundreds of thousands homeless, and cause over $15 billion USD in damage.

Elias Tarabay remembers Aug. 4, 2020, clearly. He arrived home after having a late lunch with a friend. He was living in Beirut, the capital city of Lebanon. His house had a balcony that looked out at the city's ports. Just as he settled in, he heard a loud explosion. Tarabay was working as an editor for a local newspaper at the time and he thought he would take the video to send back to his office. Then a second large explosion rocked the Beirut port. The explosion killed at least 214 people, according to official records. Thousands were injured. It was one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history — the result of hundreds of tons of ammonium nitrate igniting after a fire broke out. The explosion tore through the city with such force that it caused a tremor across the entire country that was heard and felt as far away as the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, more than 200 kilometres away. It would soon emerge in documents that the highly combustible nitrates had been haphazardly stored at a port warehouse alongside other flammable material since 2014 — and that multiple high-level officials over the years knew of its presence and did nothing. The event galvanized people to demonstrate in the streets, asking for government accountability and in the days following the explosion, several cabinet members announced their resignation. On Aug. 10, 2020, Beirut's prime minister, Hassan Diab, announced he would be stepping down from his position. On this episode of What happened to …? Erica Vella revisits the days that followed the deadly blast and finds out if anyone has been held accountable. She also learns how Lebanon's economic crisis has made it difficult for the country to rebuild. Contact: Email: erica.vella@globalnews.ca  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Arabic-language news environment is facing significant challenges. Arab journalists work under multiple pressures including the lack of political freedoms, the proliferation of digital technologies and social media, the assumed disinterest of younger audiences and financial constraints facing many outlets. As part of the research project Arab News Futures (led by Dr Omar Al-Ghazzi, LSE and Dr Abeer Al-Najjar, AUS), in this webinar, we hear from London-based Arab journalists and editors, who discuss the state of Arab news as viewed from London. They address questions such as: what are the critical issues facing Arab journalists and news media? What are the future trends in news making and consuming? How are digital technologies changing the understandings of the audience? And finally: Is London still relevant as a hub of Arabic news?

Lebanon has been called many different things: a gem of the Middle East, a failed state, a geopolitical Gordian knot (or nightmare). Its financial system has recently collapsed, people cannot find basic services, and residents are still recovering from the massive Beirut explosion of 2020. It may be a complex country to wrap your mind around, but our four scholars tell you everything you need to know about daily life in Lebanon: how are people getting by, who is in control, the geopolitics of the region, and the history behind it.Lana Salman shares a detailed account of daily life in Lebanon, where people must wait hours in line to obtain goods and services. The civil uprising really began back in October 2019, and it was different from others, explains Carmen Geha, because it was so widespread. Citizen protests have continued since then, and have increased in the aftermath of the Beirut explosion in 2020 for which no one has taken responsibility, they note.After decades of witnessing corruption at the highest levels, the Lebanese may be at a tipping point. Geha and Salman share examples of citizens creating their own organizations to address humanitarian needs, as an alternative to relying on the default sectarian sponsored hand-outs.To understand the levers of control, Melani Cammett explains the power-sharing structure of the government, and she and Geha emphasize that the current leaders are the unpunished perpetrators of war crimes (“warlords”) from the chaotic, multiparty Lebanese civil war (1975–1990).Nate George offers important background on the steps leading up to the current financial crisis and describes the geopolitical crossroads Lebanon occupies today in the Middle East. He also explains why Western countries are no longer eager to support Lebanon during the current fiscal crisis.Lebanon indeed has a complex history and remains an important player in the Middle East. With a mix of anecdote and history, our conversation is a sobering primer on the many layers and realities of Lebanon.Host:Erin Goodman, Director, Weatherhead Scholars Program.Guests:Melani Cammett, Director, Weatherhead Center for International Affairs; Clarence Dillon Professor of International Affairs, Department of Government, Harvard University; Professor in the Department of Global Health and Population, Harvard T.H.

This is a conversation with Dr Mona Harb, Professor of Urban Studies and Politics at the Department of Architecture and Design at the American University of Beirut. She also works at Beirut Urban Lab which is: "a collaborative and interdisciplinary research space. The Lab produces scholarship on urbanization by documenting and analyzing ongoing transformation processes in Lebanon and its region's natural and built environments. It intervenes as an interlocutor and contributor to academic debates about historical and contemporary urbanization from its position in the Global South." Mona recently wrote reflections on the blast on Jadaliyya - Quick Thoughts: Mona Harb on the Aftermath of the Beirut Explosion - which led to this invitation on The Fire These Times. We use the blast as the anchor for our conversation. We spoke about the roles of dominant political figures/parties - especially Hariri Sr+Jr and Hezbollah in this case - in privatisation processes which have led to a highly disfigured city even before the August explosion. We spoke about the difficulties of trying to love Beirut and how it can often feel like it is too much to handle. In short, we spoke about our very modern experience affecting not just our country but places around the world. Indeed, although Beirut and Lebanon-focused, this is a conversation that applies to multiple cities around the world that are facing the challenges of human-caused destruction (the blast, climate change, urban inequalities, and so on) while also navigating the limitations imposed by nation states under the still-dominant (despite everything) neoliberal framework.

During the panel discussion, speakers mapped out the humanitarian and urban landscape post-blast and explored questions such as: Can community-led accountability and recovery help build back better? How does the local community create a community led relief effort as a continuation of their revolution and protest movement? How do we ensure that reconstruction efforts are inclusive, and don't lead to further fragmentation? --------------------------------------------------------------------Speakers:Mona Fawaz is Professor of Urban Studies and Planning and Coordinator of the Masters in Urban Planning, Policy and Design at the American University of Beirut (AUB).

This week, we tackle the aftermath of the massive explosion that shook Lebanon's capital Beirut on August 4.The cataclysmic blast at Beirut's port claimed the lives of at least 171 people and injured around 6,500 others. About half the city was left damaged or destroyed, with hundreds of thousands made homeless. As the explosion sank Beirut even further into the depths of Lebanon's economic crisis, few will be able to afford to repair or rebuild their homes.The tragedy has revived anger at a political elite whose alleged negligence has been blamed for the blast, as reports suggest the authorities knew for years of the presence of dangerous stocks of ammonium nitrate that triggered the explosion, close to the residential, commercial and cultural heart of Beirut.With the absence of a proactive government, Beirut's residents assembled task forces to care for each other and rebuild their city. As the world mourned with Lebanon, donations poured in for NGOs engaging in direct relief efforts on the ground. One of them is London-based Impact Lebanon, a little known organisation that has quickly mobilised to lead the overseas appeal for aid to Beirut. The New Arab spoke to to Impact Lebanon co-founder Diana Abbas, who says her organization felt a responsibility to take action amid the initial confusion of the devastating explosion.At the time of this episode's release, Impact Lebanon has already exceeded £5 million in donations on its fundraiser for Beirut. The organization has since raised its target to £7.5 million. Should our listeners want to make a donation, they can find the fundraiser on the websites of Impact Lebanon and JustGiving, or by clicking here.To read The New Arab's full profile of Impact Lebanon, click hereMake sure to follow The New Arab's coverage of the Beirut blast on our website www.newarab.co.uk and social media channels Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for more.This episode was hosted and produced by Danya Hajjaji, and researched by Narjas Zatat.

We have all heard about the Beirut explosion, but in this episode, Dalia joins in from Lebanon and leaves us mind blown when she shares what is happening half a world away.

On August 4, 2020, the unthinkable happened. 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate, stored in the port of Beirut, exploded, destroying a large part of the city, killing dozens, wounding hundreds, and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless. The country is left traumatized, with no one taking responsibility for this crime, no government support on the streets, and the people having to rely on themselves and each other. We're joined by Dr. Nick Wakefield today, a clinical psychologist at Dubai's Lighthouse Center who specializes in trauma and PTSD, to discuss the impact of the Beirut explosion on the Lebanese people, be they in Lebanon or around the world.

THE DAILY ARTICLE FOR AUGUST 07, 2020 The tragic explosion in Beirut continues to make headlines. Today's podcast explores what happened, then we consider the anniversary of Hiroshima, the threat of nuclear attack today, and three ways to navigate these "non-linear" days in God's power and peace.

I spoke with Lebanese writer and translator Lina Mounzer about witnessing and experiencing the Beirut explosion on August 4th, 2020. So far there are 157 deaths, 5,000 injuries, US$10–15 billion in property damage and an estimated 300,000 people left homeless. The blast was linked to about 2,750 tonnes (3,030 short tons) of ammonium nitrate – equivalent to around 1,155 tonnes of TNT (4,830 gigajoules) – that had been confiscated by the government from the abandoned ship MV Rhosus and stored in the port without proper safety measures for six years.

The death toll currently stands at 140, with more than 5,000 injured. Hundreds are missing, many of them workers near the blast site. The number of victims is expected to rise as rescue workers continue to search through the rubble. As many as 300,000 people were made homeless, according to the governor of Beirut.
