Why is Lebanon dogged by chaos? HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur speaks
to the country’s Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil. Lebanese
politics is a world of complex alliances, delicate inter-communal
arrangements, and almost permanent instability. Lebanon currently
has a functioning government but it’s dealing with a host of deep
problems: the economy is a mess, national debt is spiralling and
regional conflict threatens to pull the country apart at the
seams. Is the current Lebanese government making a bad situation
worse?
