it's been and the move to change access to the internet in the us the plan would bring in more money for providers but what does that mean for consumers. here with the news great live on air and streaming online stream you tube facebook live and at al-jazeera dot com former bosnian serb come on to write come that it has been given a life sentence for genocide and other war crimes committed during the bosnian war in the one nine hundred ninety s. the international criminal court for former yugoslavia has found that he significantly contributed to the massacre of more than eight thousand bosnian men and boys attribute it's a and the siege of sarajevo in which more than ten thousand people died serbian government says the verdict was not unexpected but stresses the need to look to the future after the ruling for having committed this crime. the chamber
6:03 pm
sentences mr outcome. to life imprisonment disco through to delivery of the judgment the chamber stands the judge. we have extensive coverage for you need back is outside the courtroom at the hague where the verdict was read david chaytor is in with the families of the victims let's go to need first a real high drama bit of bad behavior in the court today tell us how it played out . a hugely dramatic conclusion to this very very long case i'm allowed to choose between on compliance and belligerent largely throughout many many hearings that have taken place here in the hague but it was this very last hearing that really highlighted his attitude towards the courts he very much treated the whole proceedings here with great
6:04 pm
contempt there had been a brief break in proceedings to allow him to use a facilities during that break he'd had his blood pressure checked and his defense team said that the doctor said claim that it was very very high and that they should cease proceedings completely until a later date the judge then made a quick decision that so they would proceed they took advice from their own doctors and allowed it clearly wasn't very happy was very angry and ended up having to be objected from the court but a little later without him being there present to hear it himself a multiple guilty verdicts were read out one case of genocide many more. crimes against humanity and of war crimes among them two key crimes that he was the main architect of the siege of sarajevo that four years siege the cost the lives of as many as ten thousand people if not more and of course the massacre of thousands of muslim men boys in the town of srebrenica now of course welcome
6:05 pm
a lot it can begin expecting to spend the rest of his life behind bars although his defense team say that they will appeal this so clearly incredibly important for the i.c.c. for the victims and as he says going to appeal this what happens next where does this leave the events. well when it comes to the i c t y the international criminal tribunal for yugoslavia will it wraps up all of its proceedings here the end of december it only has a couple of contempt cases to do with before that it is largely fulfilled its mandate it was set up at the end of the war in the balkans and of course like i'm allowed it was the last biggest trial of alleged war criminal to take place here if this appeal does go ahead it will take place in a parallel tribunals that will essentially hear all of what the defense team has to
6:06 pm
say about the allegations that's for instance this tribunals that overstepped its code code of conduct or at least breached its code of conduct by denying lavage the right kind of medical care that he wanted they also claim that many of the charges that were levied against militants were unfounded that more evidence was needed but if we consider the fact that thousands and thousands of pieces of physical evidence has been pored over hundreds of witnesses of people listen to the whole prospect of even revisiting this trial in any detail there's going to be kilian time. there i don't tremendous number of questions as to whether or not these details will be able to be humbled in any kind of quick kind of way there are great concerns now that there could be many many more months of wrangling really leaves the conclusion of this trial in a degree of limbo and i was in a bind just wanted over and need let's bring in dave he's in srebrenica with the
6:07 pm
families of the victims and before i ask you how this news went down i'm just going to read to your facebook comment that's been sent to us by gilbert humanity needs justice as for the wrongs committed by those in power the sentence were released to peace the souls of those killed by the criminal regime and i'm wondering if people there felt that when they heard the sentence and give them any sort of release. well jane just to give you some sort of idea of how the event went here the mothers a separate meter. were watching the proceedings in a small memorial museum hall here in the middle of this vast graveyard a graveyard where their loved ones their husbands their sons and their brothers are buried and you can imagine what it was like there was very long detailed descriptions of what had gone on in clear judicial legal language but you
6:08 pm
could see them racing through their emotions you could see they'd been haunted for twenty two years before this day when they finally got their justice and when the guilty verdict was announced the genocide verdict was announced there was a an upsurge of elation that was followed by a wave of emotion and there was cheering they held each other and then there were tears it's been extraordinary the whole memory of what went on twenty two years ago and the ghosts that surround them were all revived by watching those court proceedings it really has been very tough for those mothers who are still looking around this valley still looking at empty houses that their families used to live in still looking at the photographs of the families and the sons of the brothers and the father said were taken away from them i spoke to one of them richard after the verdict was announced let's hear what she had to say. now michael says i'm
6:09 pm
delighted that the court has brought such a judgment i'm a happy mother i have waited for this judgment for twenty two years as a mother as a sister as a wife i personally fought for this so much from day one until today i went to visit mass graves i did what i could do and i'm very happy today i lost so many members of my family and i'm overjoyed thank you thank you to the haykel thank you to the journalists and to anyone who said a word or did anything to support the struggle of us mothers and david there's been a call to move on and i'm just wondering how people do move on because in some instances very little has changed well that they have been caused to move on but how can you when you're in a situation where those memories are still so strong the divisions are still as strong as they were when the war ended the conflict has only been frozen the
6:10 pm
politicians have done nothing to really seek any reconciliation and we heard from a member the serbian member of the tripartite presidency which governs bosnia-herzegovina and he said this wasn't a reconciliation this would only stoke further political conflict now those sort of words which don't bode well for a future i think that this conflict is still in the middle of a dark tunnel and there's no light at the end of that tunnel there is no solution so far this verdict will give some comfort but it's a verdict has been rejected by the serbian community a verdict that they say has been handed down by a political court as long as those opinions stay where they where they are there is no real future no real hope for bosnia herzegovina thank you for that dave chaytor got a couple of facebook questions dave said why did the knowledge trial takes so long
6:11 pm
. something that many people want to know and shuffle is a he should not be the only one brought to justice i was a teenager when this happened if you want to know more about how europe's most wanted man was tracked down go to our website click on documentaries go to the program page of people in power they've done a really interesting piece it's called chasing luggage the hunt for the butcher of bosnia thousands of people gathered outside the residence of lebanese prime minister saad hariri to greet him back in beirut. come home he returned two weeks after his trip to saudi arabia way he announced his resignation hariri really has agreed to delay standing down after requests from lebanon's president to allow for more dialogue as of about a joins us live from beirut and tell us more about the response there and where his job now stands. well jane the
6:12 pm
sentiment today in the capital beirut is basically that we're sad then headed back this could be. a positive signal that could bring together all the political parties to negotiate some sort of a settlement more forward set aside their differences if you ask people here if you ask people about the future of sad that many people would have doubt telling here that the man has been battered undermined and with the emerging new faces particularly some very powerful. people were thinking that it. was. yesterday when he arrived he is the most powerful sunni leader. and that he remains a rallying force here in the country however the still faces challenges ahead particularly with other members of the government like hezbollah this is why it's
6:13 pm
a delicate moment for the lebanese people as we're going to see in this report. a crucial show of unity at a critical moment for lebanon president michel i own a question parliament speaker to be a muslim and prime minister sad and a sunni muslim all together commemorating independence day divided along sectarian lines lebanon faces yet another political crisis the latest started on the fourth of november when harry and his resignation while visiting saudi arabia he accused hezbollah and iran of destabilizing the region his surprise announcement threw lebanon's fragile political order into disarray. president accused the saudis of an act of aggression against lebanon and holding harriet against his will
6:14 pm
the saudis they fear for his safety back home after visiting france and egypt how did he eventually landed back in lebanon on tuesday and paid his respects at the grave of his father. the former prime minister was assassinated in a massive explosion in beirut twelve years ago his son called on all parties to stay away from regional conflicts but after meeting president our own how did he decided to suspend his resignation. to the islands design with time and i stressed my commitment to cooperate with president when for the sake of lebanon to keep our country away from wars and disputes i have discussed my resignation with the president and he asked me not to resign now and to keep it until more consultation about the reasons behind my resignation lebanon's political crisis is turning into
6:15 pm
a confrontation between the region's major rivals saudi arabia which backs harry against iran which supports the armed group hezbollah an enemy of israel the regional rivalry extends to the wars in yemen and syria world leaders are concerned they say a stable lebanon is key to the region's stability. what will happen next there are two options here for lebanon so that how do we call for a national dialogue and who would ask partners like hezbollah to stay away from syria and iraq if that happens that's going to be good news or the parties will come together the government will continue that would provide some sense of political stability for lebanon if that were the same time so that how do you says that his biggest concern is for his involvement in syria and in
6:16 pm
iraq upsets saudi arabia on the other hand hezbollah president bashar out accuse sandy arabia of interfering a live audience internal affairs now this is option one option to all the political parties disagree sad that how did he resigns that's going to be bad news for lebanon because the country cannot afford to go through a political vacuum jane let's leave it has to be talk about this more with abraham for had he's an associate professor of conflict management at the institute good to have you with us ashton with rainfall but let's go back just a little bit now and you know what's in a job what's going on here is it all about stability and the message of some sort of stability i think i'm not first of all i'm not as optimistic as some analysts on the situation in lebanon unfortunately that's the sad part of the whole range of times that yeah i think the. confrontation has just started with
6:17 pm
that heidi that it started back with his aggression in riyadh but now we're starting to see this is going to take place now in where the limit on is now back as about the ground for much larger conflict regional conflict. regional i verily between iran and saudi arabia and i say i would start with his return what what is it again to ignite exactly what exactly is the point to get well it's what. was said in his speech that the and he mentioned mention two important things for me as and reading the situation one is that the mentioning of the top if agreement and a type of agreement that's the whole. the sow the. agreement that actually ended the civil war in lebanon in one thousand eight hundred nine and started the political process so again bringing back less accurate idea arabia right to bring back the five agreements you're sending the exact the same exact
6:18 pm
message that in line with the sound the regional vision of the cause of the conflict in lebanon that's how we're going to go and the other thing he mentioned actually in his speech is that we're going or we need to solve our our problems or our you should sort out our issues with our bieber's and then that he's referring to the relationship with syria and also the leisure with with without anybody in particular he is sending the message to hezbollah expecting as well are to cup of nations with syria the word intervention in syria and that's question is not going to happen because a man of clout at the moment and his children are still in riyadh it seems he's reading off a saudi arabian script while that's a fair breeze in why i think that now why it is actually the confrontation started i highly doubt that relationship between soccer how do you the and the odd ended because the moment he left actually to paris from riyadh has two sons who went
6:19 pm
there and now there are also talks about his wife also that they're going to react so that it actually should actually the issue of with still a very strong i think it's a proxy conflict that is the saudi intervention and also that is there any intervention let's not forget this so let's not just highlight the fact that he still connected with saudi arabia the other side is also still connected with iran so that's where that's why i'm not to up. think about how things are going to go he is talking about national dialogue national dialogue is not going to sort out these issues it's going to make things complicated because going back to the point of agreement again that heavy liberation for there you're talking about the neutralizing or eliminating the iranian influence because iran had no role in the fire agreement them back at the end of the civil war in my view mind you but so that's his message is very clear and i think for that reason i think we're going to see that he is continuing god that we have now that he'll come from vision starts
6:20 pm
the lebanon is back as a proxy about the ground as a proxy conflict between the two regional powers. and that's how we're going to see him becoming there is with thank you for your as he said not positive outlook the fortunes of legs for that abramson over the. resignation on the whole the political maneuvering in beirut in the neighboring countries scrutinized in this page on a website al jazeera dot com and just to remind you that you can get in touch with us on any of our online platforms you can tweet us at a.j. english on facebook at facebook dot com slash a.j. news but you can also send us a what's up message at plas nine hundred four five or one chip or one four nine and as always you can use the hash hash tag a j use grit russia's president vladimir putin has told his turkish and iranian counterparts that there is a real chance of ending the war in syria speaking and saatchi putin says he
6:21 pm
believes a new stage his words as been reached in the syria crisis but warns that each even a political solution will require compromises from all sides russia and iran are allies of syria's president bashar assad made a surprise visit to such on monday turkey backs some syrian rebel groups but chalons joins us live from sochi rory we have been waiting on a press conference to find out any more about those comments but what are you hearing. they're still talking they're still in their meeting gnashing out what they think should happen next in the syrian crisis you get the impression from the comments they made before they went into this meeting and comments that all three of them have been making over the last few weeks or so that they all believe and it's probable that their rights that's the syrian crisis the conflict there is about to swing into
6:22 pm
a new phase and that phase is likely to involve a further decrease in fighting as the rebel groups and i still other armed factions there gradually get pushed further and further back and the damascus government's retakes more and more lands perhaps the stage is being set for a return to the negotiating table in geneva that's exactly what putin has said that the terrorists as he put it basically defeated and that now it's time to move on to the political track in perhaps one of the most obvious cases of the pot calling the kettle black we had rouhani the iranian president saying that from the get go in syria. the involvement of foreign powers in facilitating the fighting there had been perhaps you know at extended of the violence he wasn't
6:23 pm
of course talking about the group hezbollah which iran supports and funds he was talking about the groups that are being backed on the other side of the conflict and basically said that yes the start up process have achieved a great amount and they start a process is of course jointly sponsored by russia iran and turkey but now it really needs to move on to the next phase in the next phases political. all the victor surface of this syrian war thanks for that rory now saudi arabia has been hosting a separate summit of various syrian opposition groups a draft resolution of that meeting says the departure of president assad would be a necessary point for any transition to begin the un special envoy to syria staffan de mistura is in riyadh but will travel to moscow next week he says his priority is ensuring the strongest syrian opposition delegation head to geneva later this month
6:24 pm
for more on this a summer binge of a joins us live from gaza into the other turkey syria border so they're standing firm on their side has to go. jane that seems to be the message coming out of riyadh but it was the sticking point early on as they started the meeting this morning one group of the opposition called the moscow platform refused to take part saying that this whole notion that there needs to be a say a removal of assad before negotiations begin is a precondition in there against the conditions so assad remains the sticking point within the opposition but from this first draft it appears that the opposition wants to hammer in that point because there's been a lot of pressure coming from various groups inside syria opposition groups civil society people living outside of syria as soon as they heard that in riyadh all of these forces including carroll platform and the moscow platform will be achieving and saudi arabia will formulate a new opposition
6:25 pm
a new phase of this opposition when we go into geneva with a united voice the all came out and said that the opposition that is meeting in in saudi arabia needs to make sure that it respects the revolution it respects the they say sacrifices that have been made to try and remove the government of bashar al assad from power and it needs to be inclusive and that seems to be the message coming out in this first draft of the joint communique saying bashar al assad must go before the transitional government think all foreign fighters must be removed from syrian soil if this transitional government is to work if and in pressure on the united states saying that the u.s. has to give us the resolution to fly for me is to be implemented in letter in spirit they need to be a serious move towards trying to deescalate violence trying to bring people back to their homes there also from sources on the ground in riyadh been heard and they're also working on some sort of a draft of
6:26 pm
a constitution of syria that will be acceptable to all sides before the even more want to the negotiating table before they meet the regime's representatives they want to have all of their ducks. on the road they want to. go in with a good night good boy. to try and get something out of it as there seems to be a real impetus behind this and now as we've seen that throughout this month the go from the meeting with vladimir putin and president of to the foreign ministers of turkey iran. and the. various at the sides meeting. all sorts of efforts going in to try and build potentially some sort of a solution some sort of or a reasonable demand list of demands that can be acceptable to all sides and that is what they're trying to go towards but that does not mean that they have achieved it yet we still have one more day off this conference to go and we'll wait and see
6:27 pm
what do they come up with finally when all of them ok thank you for facebook here's we have a video that our colleagues at a.j. plas put together on an indian politician from the ruling party has put a bounty on a famous bollywood actress find out why and also ahead on the grid it's a new political era. from the country's. president. hello changes are afoot and has been afoot to be honest as a massive cloud stretches from the eastern side of the black sea through the southern caucasus iraq and on to iraq on the coast the gulf coast of iran eighty four millimeters in the last twenty four hours a significant amount of rain which has been repeated through saturday as well but this is very obviously something going on it's the winter front of the winter a is

6:37 pm
having this business background would be able to turn things around for them this is about bread and butter and a way forward there are a lot of questions around his background specifically given that he served under robert mugabe for decades he was a close ally to begin with of the former president that relationship made of may have changed in recent days but ultimately there is some concern from the some quarters around just exactly how he would govern if zimbabweans would experience the freedoms that they want to going forward if the opposition would have the freedom to operate if they'd been into that any sort of repression but ultimately this is about hope for many zimbabweans around being able to survive ultimately look after themselves and looking at a president that would provide that kind of environment that would allow them to thrive after decades of what they call tyranny. thanks for that for me to milena
