and. where everything. was different not just whether someone saying it was very red because. i think it's how you approach an official and if it is a certain we're doing it you can just. story and fly out. lebanese prime minister. independence day celebrations two weeks after his shock resignation in saudi arabia.

i'm sammy's a than this is al jazeera live from also coming up. very. i believe this is a new generation of. celebrations braces a new era without president robert mugabe. attention shifts to the former vice president who's expected to be sworn in as about ways new leader. plus a verdict due in the war crimes trial of former bosnian serb military leader. q used of genocide. is back in beirut two weeks after announcing his resignation while in saudi arabia

how do these attending lebanon's independence day celebrations president michel aoun has refused to accept the prime minister's resignation believing it was done on the juris previously said harry was being detained by saudi authorities but has denied the accusations. is live for us in beirut so tell us about his presence there and what capacity in the shop in the parade and what does that tell us about his political status right now. you sunny. as the prime minister. i think that's capacity that is he's attending the right of the moderating the independence day along with president michel i will. speak at a mall about to be about it so the top leadership hope he's here today and told them this is a crucial moment they would like to showcase unity of this very delicate moment for

the country. now that he's back in lebanon the take us through the political process that has to happen now because we do have this sort of conflicting situation where he's resigned the president hasn't accepted his resignation yet. what he did. exactly as president michel i will said that the resignation was. halted but he has been very critical of saudi arabia saying that they detained saddam had to be i guess by his will of that he made without the red house and and and here right now this is what is going to happen in the coming hours. after the end of this all right behind it is going to meet with president bush and i was at the presidential palace that's where president out is going to cost saddam had me to renounce his resignation many political parties the leaders in the country are

going to step up russia on how to get it to renounce his resignation if that happens on the hope that this is going to be good news for lebanon it will avert a crisis in the country but it had already insists on stepping down that is going to create a real political crisis in the country because it has a backdrop of the although it political divide. it remains to be seen whether all the parties can agree on a successor never really steps aside. putting together a government filling a high political post never an easy task in lebanon hashem how much political consensus is there right now between all the factions. there are they somehow mary has a new sentiment in the country with. rallying behind their leader would

see they must think that. should stay. prime minister there's this feeling of national pride. they believe that. to make that announcement in saudi arabia at the center of the reject. interference here in lebanon the substance of your dynamics in the country now that. the governing coalition. presided by standard how do you. present the sell out there needs to be more unity in the coming weeks to behave to see other countries from trouble it's not that. the parties will continue. the same government but it's not that. i think the governing coalition would

collapse it would be extremely difficult. to me and you politically to take. prime minister. all right we'll leave it there for now from beirut. the sound of cheering and dancing in the street the resignation of president robert mugabe was a moment to celebrate across much of zimbabwe thousands of people filled city squares as news spread mugabe was stepping down after thirty seven years in power and in the coming hours the man likely to replace him and the cinema will be returning home he's expected to be swiftly sworn in. zimbabwe's new president also reports from holiday. jubilation on the streets of harare across the country that robert mugabe rule for thirty seven years while to liberation as maybe even days. news demagogy was stepping down came as both houses of parliament sat in an

extraordinary session to debase the president's impeachment the speaker suspended the session and told m.p.'s that he received a letter. mugabe wrote that he was resigning with the media's effect voluntarily in order to facilitate a smooth transfer of power. to the crowds outside those who was many thought they'd never have ever since i was born i have never seen this day i'm so glad for thirty seven years we have been our fathers were there when. you went to war. what we're going to carry to show well listen here mugabe's departure comes an emotional week off the minute she first took to the streets intervening in party politics over his succession it likely means that this

man. will become zimbabwe's interim leader i had of elections in. those zubrin now some a cautious about the future and a person who's been proven by where you live to listen to people simply what you see what we. know if. we have only one look. and politicians like for a new fight hard. to top form a couple through these demonstrations and words ready. to play the game fairly. if it is not when to play the game fairly we will take him on you also we are sick and tired of the sun look here soon. i had for decades been a faithful mugabe lieutenant described as a president's enforcer close to the army and nicknamed the crocodile if you would describe him as a democrat. many are right to wonder with the era we're much different from the

past on this night and for now though. no one knows what's going to happen next it's a new dawn for the country for a people who have only known one leader since the one nine hundred eighty. s. get the very latest now with how them without. how does the the day after the resignation fail to people wow they digesting it all. or this is the first day without robert mcgarvey and the newspapers kind of have the mood of how people are feeling there's a big sense of relief that the old days are gone and that there is hope. that something new and better is coming a muslim and a god was expected to arrive in a few hours people hope he will come and resuscitate the economy on the streets of

tel abrasions have died down somewhat people getting on with their lives this is first used to be a lot cleaner than this a many many years ago and now look at it it's looking very run down a sign of what economy has done to the city to the country the corner that's how most of them barbarians make their living selling on the streets vending they call it they sell anything they can find to to make ends meet are you not talking about people who go to school these are people with degrees some of them university degrees the current find work so there's so much hope that the man and god are when he arrives will tell people what he plans to do with the economy because a lot of people are just sitting waiting with nothing to do really hoping that something something good is coming and they hope that something good will be a change in the economic status a change in how their lives will be and they hope that. is the man who will bring

that positive change how smooth is the. expected to be given that he no longer is the vice president he's been sacked is the constitutional power still clear and obvious truth. it's not really so clear remember there is another vice president. who is out of the country when all this happened he was on a fishel business overseas and he was a lying to graceful garbage and robert mugabe and since all this happened he has not returned so he technically is still divides and so i suppose the speaker who's going to be giving a press conference soon or an hour or so from now may outline all those intricacies but i think it's safe to assume that mr hope was not coming back to zimbabwe because people are saying that he could be arrested for alleged corruption and other things he's alleged to have committed but in terms of him someone. but he seems to be a huge way behind him people seem to say he's the one for now who should take over

so all eyes on him when he makes his first public appearance what is he going to say is he going to be a leader for all the people or will it just be more of the same i will leave it there for now thanks so much. paul brennan takes a look at the life and career of a veteran zimbabwe and lead out robert mugabe they will never be. here there will always be. in control that was two thousand and seven. ten years later when the people left their views be known opiate encouraged by zimbabwe's military robert mugabe ignored them and then surprise them when he didn't announce his resignation and is widely predicted t.v. address i thank you and good night after thirty seven years in control mcgarvie found it hard to let go he's made a career by deftly apa new phoring potential rivals. one of the first to be

by zanu p.f. thugs and the m.d.c. leader withdrew from the election worried about the stability of its neighbor south africa forced both men into a coalition chanter i became prime minister but mcgarvey retain control of the police army and secret service and with that the real power of god he won the election four years ago by a landslide supporters said voter registration lists were manipulated critics said mccarthy was just as ruthless at dealing with rivals in his own party war veteran and vice president joyce maturer was fired in two thousand and fourteen accused of corruption and plotting to assassinate the garbage this time a gabby's wife greats was seen as instrumental in engineering mature its downfall it was the clearest signal yet the mcgarvie was now not only protecting his own position but also laying the path for his wife to succeed him the sacking of emerson made that obvious the vice president nicknamed the crocodile had been in

pole position to succeed mugabe. firing him cleared the way for his wife. but this time the ninety three year old president had gone too far when gaga is close to the military leadership and they stepped in after thirty seven years robert mugabe's days of exercising unchallenged power well over. the un's accusing north korea of violating the armistice agreement which ended the korean war by chasing a defector across the border this video shows that in fact of being pursued and shot at as he crossed the military demarcation line he was rescued by south korean soldiers who dragged him to safety on their side of the border but in fact also a soldier is recovering in hospital after surgery. the key findings of the special investigation team are that the k.p.a. violated the armistice agreement by one firing weapons across the m.t.l. and two by actually crossing the m.d.o. temporarily you can see personnel at the g.s.a. notified k.p.a.

a few moments now we're told that the south korea north korean soldier lay on the south korean side until a south korean and united states joint forces were able to crawl towards him and pull him to safety he has remained in hospital since this incident occurred last week we're told that he has regained consciousness though there are not that many more details of his exact condition but we did learn last week from a doctor was that there were parasites inside him but the doctors said he had only seen a textbook given some insight into the kind of conditions that north koreans are facing and indeed the kind of conditions that this defector was fleeing so had an al-jazeera one of america's most recognizable broadcast this is suspended over him probably hevia as a new report shows sexual harassment is ingrained in us society. sheet . music and say goodbye to former teen idol david cassidy.
