7:10 am
with regards to the political situation i will be in beirut in the next few days to take part in the celebration of our independence and all express opinions on all subjects once i've made president. hariri was joined by his wife and eldest son but his other two children were left behind in riyadh fueling speculation about why that was at least the sources said only that it had been the hariri family's personal choice. macro invited to really he said not to offer exile but as an act of friendship the fact that salter riri was here at the elise is being seen by those in france is something of a diplomatic success for him and call it is the french president's mediation attempts over the past two weeks that have seen hariri finally leave riyadh says. this is certainly a diplomatic success for a manual at the start of the lebanese crisis no one was very convinced that he'd be
7:11 am
