BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

A majority of Argentinian households can no longer afford the traditional Argentinian barbecue due to extreme inflation that has topped 200% in 2023, Reuters reported.

The term 'asado', derived from the Spanish word for 'roasted', refers to both the distinctive grilling process for Argentinian barbecue and the lively social gathering among friends that typically precedes the meal.

Retiree Susana Barrio told Reuters that inflation has forced many Argentinians to "eliminate things that made life a little brighter," calling it "impossible" to have the barbecue now.

Decades of debt and financial mismanagement have led to a catastrophic economic effect on Argentinians, with an estimated 40% living in poverty.

According to official figures, the inflation rate reached 25.5% month on month in December. It is projected to rise quicker in the coming months after President Javier Milei's administration depreciated the peso by more than 50% last month as part of his so-called "shock therapy" policies to rescue the struggling economy.

Graciela Bravo, a 65-year-old retiree, told Reuters that she had begun meticulously calculating the number of potatoes she purchased. "Before you would purchase by the kilo, now I get three potatoes or four potatoes so they don't spoil," she went on to say.

Last month, Argentina's new leader Javier Milei revealed a series of measures to deregulate the country's struggling economy, eliminating or changing more than 300 regulations via the presidential decree, including on rent and labor practices. 

Milei, a self-described anarcho-capitalist who has been in office for a month, pledged to curb inflation but warned that economic "shock" treatment is the only solution for the economy. Some of the suggested changes include the elimination of a law regulating rent and preventing the privatization of state enterprises.
