any evidence to suggest that the attacks were made at the behest of tehran and meanwhile what is the situation like on the streets of basra now we've seen a couple of fairly small protests last night there were protests at the recent visit of prime minister hyde that allowed by the who was there just the previous day in order to try to find out what was going on what the main problems in basle world but also they are only going protests about the situation in basra generally the people of buster believe that because of rampant corruption much of the money that should be going to their city in order to improve their destroyed infrastructure is being leached away as they say because of corrupt businesses and also particularly as they say because of corrupt politicians but at the same time there's a very heavy security presence in there we are seeing some on groups one on group has made a parade through the center of it saying that it's one of its buildings was destroyed

in those protests and it would find out who is responsible so at the moment although we're seeing small protests we're not seeing anything on the same scale as we saw during the previous week laura ok robin many thanks for the update there from baghdad. only sixty eight people have been killed in a suicide bomb attack on a large crowd of protesters in afghanistan more than one hundred others were injured in the past then jalalabad a couple of them the whole province the protesters had gathered to demand the resignation of a local police commander and it was just hours after a series of bombings in schools across jalalabad has seen a spate of isolates acts and recent months the taliban has denied involvement. still ahead head on al-jazeera one is a back to remains defiant as you can see the sanctions against hungary because of its immigration policies.

al-jazeera. never again you want your. top stories russia's president vladimir putin has said that he knows who the two suspects are in the poisoning of the russian spy in the u.k. and they are civilians he was speaking at the east and economic forum where he also warns the global trend towards protectionism and trade barriers as a threat to asia's economies he and china's president xi jinping say they'll increase bilateral ties to oppose the trunk administration's trade. yes actually

supporters are waiting out the hours days weeks no one knows how long before the israeli authorities send in the bulldozers safin the feeling is indescribable the uncertainty the instability the threats of the occupation the fear of the children and the woman the situation in this community is miserable. it's very painful what could be vosa losing your life and it's very difficult you may see this land as a desert but for us bedouin it's life. they're destroying the either live a blight on our land. the almost ten year long legal battle to save has drawn support from across the world and closer to home competence for peace is an israeli palestinian group that feels increasingly isolated in this country to me. i think the situation in israel in the last few years as the to the right and to state to to we have to have support national international. support groups

inside the israeli society that in the past were except and respected today are being attacked and i'm here because. i think that you know i like the phrase you know none are free until we all are i think it's something that i like to live by when the bulldozers do move in they'll be clearing the way for the expansion of illegal israeli settlements that will eventually cut through the occupied west bank several major european countries have tonight again asked israel not to go ahead with the demolitions referring particularly to the seventy years the palestinian bedouins of course this area but the only official israeli reaction there's ever been since the supreme court ruling came down from defense minister abbott or lieberman and he said no one will prevent us exercising our sovereignty. burdett's with al-jazeera our new sexual harassment law is due to

attention very quickly turned to trade with the opening remarks made by the leaders who have assembled here the chinese vice premier who getting things going saying that countries should categorically correctly reject protectionism in trade not mentioning the united states but clearly it was a criticism of the u.s. trade policy amid a widening trade dispute between those two countries well the leaders will be watching that dispute very closely with me to talk more about that now is one of the young global leaders for the world economic forum. thanks for talking to us just how concerned are leaders in business is about this trade dispute the unfolding trade for trade friction between the u.s. and the race particularly china has caused high level and society and set them teasing as the because. buying ten economies open and really deep at all and they want to do trade with the rest of the world because the entire trade be seen as the

end is about twenty five percent still quite limited when it comes to. regional trade so the main markets the main trading partners on our side the region including china japan u.s. and european union so the unfolding twenty if you would seriously affected these kind of the trade liberalization puts us indication that as in that is it been one thing at the moment and much wider than that over the last few years much has been made about a pivot within this region towards china away from the u.s. not just in business but militarily as well security is that a reality or has that been overplayed the the power she says is ongoing now it's a reality because the lack of commitment from the u.i.c. do not promise me stray sharon. forced regional countries small and medium sized country two to somehow people to a big economy power which is china and japan are the two main asian economies here

in order for them to survive because these small country medium sized companies are they defined get national interests based on economy interests so which part of that give more economy benefits and incentive to they try to promote closer cooperation in these cases really it's about china and japan and we've heard from in my state council on sun suchi in her opening speech no surprise there was no mention of human rights issues. why is that not talked about more at an event like this because after all these issues can hinder economic growth in those countries that's right human right the main very big issue but also a sensitive issue because as the enormous amount and a fair and so on ice in this situation in is fast evolving in terms of complexity it's not only a national politic but they say all politics and so on how in cooperation with other countries basically buckle of

a short thailand and to to handle all of these issues so i think. the lead in that pen to defend from talking about human rights because they don't have solutions what are the solution that they can adopt you know that to trace those kind of human rights issues so this kind of a high hanging fruits so they tend to it to to pick the low hanging fruit which is trade investment and acknowledging so obviously i think you're going to issue is always on the agenda one of the key issue for the region or a country to handle chang banner of thank you very much for joining us so plenty more to come from sun suit she she will have a couple of more opportunities to speak whether or not she does go into those issues such as human rights and specifically the ring yes well that remains to be seen or ok when thanks very much and. from hanoi. more than five point four million people have been issued storm warnings on the u.s. east coast as hurricane florence builds in the atlantic one and

flocked to cities for treatment turning to the red cross and charities for long term support. some can apply for artificial limbs to be fitted with a stumps of heels the goal children are preferred to be harm in the village worried they'll get behind in school if they are away for too long. after all these problems we would like. there should be peace and the fighting should and because there is no benefit in the fighting what i have lost or others like me have lost many more will also lose thirteen year olds on the far right now a double amputee and will ship bound carries on. down you can see all seven of us are amputees if the peace comes in our country won't bring us back our legs but it will benefit other people. in a province peace is particularly elusive there are many taliban and i still find

his they fight each other and they fight the government from april to june one hundred sixty civilians were killed and then a half and nearly five hundred wounded most of those casualties were no accident. i saw the last three quarters of the fighters and afghan and american operations last year in response they targeted civilians and urban areas a strategy born out of desperation but one that civilians must live with. this is the top stories that i'm at pier ten has had two men accused by u.k. prosecutors of attempting to about a former russian spies i guess a couple civilians made the remarks at the eastern economic forum where he's also on the global trend towards protectionism and trade barriers as a threat to a says economies. here is actually john was warning

story. we understand the differences and the similarities of cultures across the world. so many times when you call home al-jazeera international bringing the news and current affairs that matter tease. out is iraq. palestinian leaders about to continue efforts to bring israel to the international criminal court as the u.s. threatens to sanction the port and close us palestine's mission in washington so that this reignite tension in the region and can do us then act as a peace broker this isn't sad story. hello and welcome to the program i'm good at that how meet the u.s.

government has announced it's closing the diplomatic mission of the palestinian liberation organization in washington national security advisor john bolton delivered to news during a speech on monday he also threatened to arrest and prosecute judges of the international criminal court should they proceed to prosecute american citizens or israel palestinian have locks hold just sits at the i.c.c. for the israeli occupation to trumpet ministration will not keep the office open when the palestinians refused to take steps to start direct and meaningful negotiations with israel the united states will use any means necessary to protect our citizens and those of our allies from unjust prosecution by this illegitimate court. we will not cooperate with the i.c.c. we will provide no assistance to the i.c.c. and we certainly will not join the i.c.c. chief palestinian negotiator saeb erekat has accused the trump administration of

doing israel's bidding by allowing more illegal settlements and cutting desperately needed aid to palestinians here's some of what he had to say that romber obsession wants to dismantle the international order to ensure that still above the laws and the scale of accountability if the us is that much against international criminal court why did the us lead the security council on trying to bring prison time out of bashir of sudan to the international criminal court when it had support all the applications against african leaders and the international community. i'm not going to speak of a double standard i'm not going to go to the issue of racism i leave it to your thinking the u.s. is not only piling pressure on the p.l.o. but the actions of staking may also affect final status negotiations with israel

let's take a look at these bolton became the first american official to refer to illegal israeli settlements as housing projects while u.s. has frozen twenty five million dollars in funding for palestinian hospitals last month it also cut funding to the u.n. agency that helps palestinian refugees and it also acts two hundred million dollars in aid to gaza and the occupied west bank and the p.l.o. says the us is no longer an owners broken talks after moving its embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem earlier this year. so let's bring in our panel for today joining us in ramallah mostafa better hooty secretary general of the palestinian national initiative in west jerusalem a lonely ill former israeli diplomat he was also the director general of the israeli foreign ministry and in washington josh an executive director of the arab

institut washington d.c. a warm welcome to you all mostafa let me start with you are now we didn't have also lost their voice in washington it's keeps on getting from bad to worse. we didn't lose anything i think the united states has lost its ability to be a mediator of it and the peace process has lost any ability to be. impartial and has shown the decisions of mr trump and this administration has shown that there is no difference whatsoever between israeli policy and this administration's policy on the contrary i think his action against the p.l.o. office looks like they are receiving instructions from mr netanyahu the prime minister of israel and his own side of selection of this alliance between the most extreme most reactionary neo conservatives in the united states and israel is

honest movement which is of course going to reflect in a very dangerous manna considering these actions what the united states administration did an effort to exercise pressure on us as palestinians to give up our rights to give up our rights for freedom for independence for our national rights and that will never happen we will never accept to surrender we will never accept the so called the deal of the century which is nothing but about the dating the palestinian rights including our rights in jerusalem our rights for an independent state our rights for having of palestinian refugees and we will never surrender to this pressure ok. you're in washington i mean doesn't come as a surprise that this. was going to happen. not only to trump administration but several u.s. administrations before that have threatened to close down the mission now that it's happened how was the news perceived. you're right that this is not the first

time i mean the issue of the low presence here has never been normalized the u.s. has allowed presence diplomatic presence way back it used to be under the auspices of the league of arab states then it became independent under you know palestinian entity however it was never recognized fully as a diplomatic entity and continued to be blackmailed recently definitely it hasn't been a surprise considering the calls and lobbying within congress to try to use it as another leverage point to blackmail the palestinians taken on its own frankly it's just a symbolic gesture with a very limited political significance however when you fit it in with the events of the past nine months and the steps undertaken by the administration starting with

jerusalem earlier in the year or late last year the refugee issue the hospitals inability to deal with the issue of two states or recognize that two state solution when you fitted together with all of that it becomes basically an obscene and other liberated form of blackmail to force the palestinians to accept an american dick that well i know i'm supposing that way you are the news was well received at least in some quarters but could you please explain to us what's the thinking behind it what's the benefit for israel al sure how to abse one step after the other taken by the trump administration i mean we've seen this total support by prime minister netanyahu over president donald trump a lot of let's say. favors towards him but do you agree with most stuff that maybe trump is listening

a bit too much to produce prime minister netanyahu. i can agree that he was listening to prime minister netanyahu when the move of the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem was concerned definitely big joy in israel of the israeli government i'm not sure at all that cutting off the money. especially to hospitals in east jerusalem is causing joy in israel and i'm not sure at all i'm guessing because here it's only day nobody is reacting yet officially but i'm not sure at all the closing of the mission in auschwitz or will cause a lot of joy because this is the last stick that americans. are having over the last civilian stick they can come to the point of bombarding in

ramallah but i don't think they will do this but that last minute full diplomatic civilian stick that they had was closing their mission and this is in fact and they're not also meant by washington that they give up on mediating and i think the israelis would not like this because for the israelis to have the possibility of the americans mediating hanging there was good because nobody is stepping in while down americans are working on the deal of the century now infect the closing of the embassy says we will not work on the deal of the century you cannot work on mediating when you kick out the diploma of one of the sides forging talks so this can bring in the europeans and russia us and china

and others to to be more interested in peacemaking and i don't think is where they will like it. so i don't just do you actually from what you're saying i have a feeling that you're trying to explain that both sides have never avnet really thought through all the steps i'm talking about israel and washington in the sense that all these decisions were taken one after the other since the end of last year but no one has no one is thinking long term well i think there is a difference between israel. and the united states in jerusalem and washington on the issue of their wish to have a d. i think israel doesn't want a deal doesn't want in agreement with the palestinians i really think the president trump and the people around him wanted a deal they wanted

a very pro israeli deal but they sold the can they could impose such a deal and once they saw that they cannot impose a deal gradually giving up and i don't think this was the initial american plane there were threats all the time to close the mission in washington but i don't think they're really wished to do it but then they were pushed into a corner where they could look even night talks that they had to do it so most ever the palestinians have been put under a lot of pressure some would even say that they have been bullied just repeating the words used by several senior palestinian officials. what's next for you guys and i mean valid palestinian leaders have always said that israel is not interested in peace israel has said the opposite but it's the palestinians

who are praying the highest price what can you do what margin of maneuver do you have at this stage. it's very strange to say that to say that palestinians don't want peace i mean who in the palestinian people would like to stay under israeli military occupation which has become the longest occupation in modern history fifty one years which palestinian refugee would want to stay at if you see instead of having that ability and the possibility of coming back to the homeland he was born and or his father was born. it's just a big big propaganda mistake to claim that palestinians don't want peace the more the people that want peace more than anybody else in this world are the palestinians who suffered as you said more than anybody else who are suffering through there from the theft of our land from the displacement from the ethnic cleansing which is taking place now and handle amara and other places who are suffering from having seven thousand to present as in israeli jails but i think you

israeli guest has just confirmed what i said. just confirmed that practically mr trump and his administration are receiving that is actions from mr netanyahu. yes trump wanted the deal of the century to be in favor of israel and denying us the right even to negotiate about jerusalem the right even to talk about the issue of refugees but netanyahu doesn't want any deal i thought he does not want even any negotiations an attorney who wants to implement the american deal on the ground practically and that is exactly what israel is doing in terms of settlement building and so on so i think the whole issue about the deal of the century was nothing but advancing the israeli approach and then going as far as they could they knew exactly that no palestinian leader would ever accept surrendering to lose a limb and they used all of that to kill any possibility for the peace process but

one very important point here is that this action of the american side is happening exactly on the anniversary of the twenty fifth anniversary of the oslo agreement in my opinion the american closure of the p.l.o. office is a declaration from israel and the united states that is that and that is the end of the road the end of the road of wrong agreement where palestinians agreed on things they should not have agreed about at least they should have demanded a full and complete cessation of. settlement activities and recognition of the right of the palestinians to have a state of their own this did not happen now we are at the end of that road and we need to choose a different and tentative road and we can do it nobody can blackmail us to surrender and give up our rights this is not going to happen and then my opinion this american position to flex and isolation of american diplomacy look the united states is in trouble to deal with canada in trouble to deal with russia with china

with the europeans with the united nations with international law and now they want even to have trouble with the international criminal court just because the international criminal court might criticize israel for the crimes it has committed well kelly we were going to get back to the also accords in a few minutes but i just wanted to ask ali i mean we have been talking about this ultimate deal for quite a while president trump certainly repeated it more than once but no one knows the details maybe a few officials in washington and in israel but apart from that very little has leaked so was there really an ultimate deal in your view or was the trump administration cobbling together something as it went along because it's very difficult to understand what's the aim of all of this. technically officially

there is no such thing as the ultimate deal frankly it's a figment of someone's imagination the white house they have been talking about it even before they arrived at the white house if you remember during the campaign they began to talk about ultimate deal for peace in the middle east expressed as a candidate his desire to work out and to mediate however in practical terms when you look at washington for those of us who live here and who are familiar with previous negotiations. in. the past four decades there is always a team that's put together whether at the white house or the state department particularly at the state department that works for years and preparation for such talks no such team has been put together other than two or three people that have been basically managing

a rehash of ideas that they inherited from not i wouldn't even say from israel but inherit or that into now government they inherited from the most radical elements elements in. going back to what alone i think i understand where he's coming from there is a discrepancy between the intentions of washington and the intentions of the netanyahu government netanyahu doesn't want peace but at least this administration has talked about the possibility but in practical terms nothing has happened in practical terms it was a dick that in practical terms it was ideas that do not meet the minimum requirements the minimum aspirations of the palestinian people whether it's the two state solution whether it's the end of occupation this administration and spite of it's the clear. objective of one thing to do. and lasting peace as it did

yesterday for god's sake the statement yesterday announcing the closure of the office by the state department declared that this is not a retreat i'm quoting this is not a retreat by this administration from its commitment to comprehensive and lasting peace if if that's not a retreat i don't know what it would be it is well going back to that statement by the national security advisor john bolton yesterday on monday. it was quite clear that this asian to close down the p.l.o. mission at this particular point was somehow linked to the steps taken by the palestinians at the international criminal court and they hague now alone could you explain to us why is israel so keen on shielding itself from the i.c.c. when on the same time it considers its never done anything wrong. first

it's an ideal level and i think today and with thinking about the closure of the mission it's really the nine eleven of the peace process it's the end of the peace process and it was not done on the all slow day that the thirteenth of september but it was done on the eleventh of september and i don't know if you intentionally they chose the nine eleven but it so it so happened regarding the deal of the century before i come to the i.c.c. . it is unbelievable that. unexperienced president in diplomatic at first took three people all jewish totally unexperienced in diplomatic affairs and asked them to do the deal of the century i think thing tension was and like in business to give them

a did they cannot refuse with their rifle a head to toe with them and i think only gradually this team and the president understood that the palestinians are not on their own in this world and in order to have a deal you have to talk with them and their moment you could not bring them to that table the whole thing collapsed so desperate that you can go on torture the palestinians and they will come to the table this was the big mistake lot of they didn't want to make something they didn't know how to do it then they were totally ignorant when it comes to middle eastern diplomacy. regarding i.c.c. i think. this is an excuse i think the issue of

the palestinians. claims it to i.c.c. is look work brought about the closure of them the sea and the financial punishments it's all the fact that the board was and was. courageous enough i would say the word washington to say no and then americans like children they were insulted that double muzzle who is nothing who doesn't have a state who doesn't have an equal and we will doesn't have an army is saying no to the only superpower in the world i think this was the only effect or and they behaved as insulted children using one state after the other until they finish this and let's see what will happen now i will think the problems the united states as united states is having with the i.c.c.

is another matter but i think the fact that the palestinians are approaching international illegal border this is is happening all the time i don't think this was the reason for closing the mission well and the palestinian leadership that's saying it happened could kenya with its bidding with several international organizations now must step up briefly we're reaching the end of the show i mean also dead is something you hear a lot in the streets of ramallah or anywhere you go in the occupied west bank and gaza and some people would tell you it is a good thing now if the u.s. is not anymore an honest broker. is it now maybe the silver lining and golden opportunity for the palestinians to rethink their whole approach on how to end the occupation to bring in more people or to do it completely different scrap this and start again. actually it's not only a golden opportunity it's

a duty it's our duty to to create and use an alternative strategy using popular nonviolent resistance as we do today in the phenomena and in many other places using the boycott divestment sanctions in the same manner that it was used against the apartheid system in south africa especially that israel has created a much worse of today and using the international arena and international law to to to besiege this israeli occupation and the system's apartheid and to stop waiting for the united states to provide a solution but i want just to say one point about the deal of the cinci them in goal was to have palestinians sit at a table while their issues are liquidated like you lose a limb this is it cetera and while israel would normalize relationship with the arab countries that's what we palestinians courageously obstructed and that so i mr

trump is mad it's not just a childish behavior it's because we failed them we stopped their plan to normalize relations with israel at our expense at think i'm going to bring in holly but we have less than a minute left so mustapha says the deal was basically jeopardize do you do you do you agree with him that it all backfired in the face of the trump administration and what options are they available now or are they any. i do agree that the deal has collapsed and basically this is the reason for this vengeful attitude on the part of staff at the white house against the palestinians what they are trying to do domestically i think is trying to put the blame totally on the palestinian side for the failure of this project that they have been propagating you know since there are ivo at the white house particularly to their immediate constituency in this regard which is the. right wing movement that

doesn't believe. something that several u.s. administrations have done i'm sorry but we have reached the end of the show so thank you everyone was stuff about award. and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al-jazeera dot com and for further discussion go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter our handle is at a.j. inside story from me one of the emmys and thirteen year and bye for now. germany's capital there is a barber like no other sort of what it is. goes from prostitutes.

border as the u.n. demands a diplomatic solution. and the u.s. warns millions of americans to get out of the way of horak influence. that amir putin says two men accused of attempting to murder former russian spies in the u.k. asa billions made the remarks at the eastern economic forum in light of all stark. prosecutors identified and charged two russians and they say were working under false names arrest warrant has been issued for them russia has denied it was behind the nerve attack agent in salisbury in march let's go live now to roy chalons in vladivostok i mean this announcement really did take quite a few people by surprise and that rory. absolutely yeah i mean completely unconnected to the economic discussions that were going on in the

plenary session of the eastern economic forum but there was for them a person asked question about this trip was the reply i did yes they had obviously looked into who these two men were and says that they now do know who they are we found them said person there's nothing particularly special or criminal here they will appear soon i'll be saying in front of the media and tell you everything themselves when he was asked all the civilians he replied well of course now this goes against what the russian foreign minutes. three has said up until now which is that these names out xandra petrova bashir of mean nothing to them they don't know who they are so that's a change in the scripts there and of course if we do actually see these two men in front of t.v. cameras or sitting down with print journalists being quizzed on what this is all about it will be interesting to see what their explanation is for why they made

a short trip to the united kingdom on the same day as that the script was a poisoned why they travelled from london to souls rewards the neighborhood of the script was housefull caught on c.c.t.v. camera there and then headed back to london and on some moscow and the police say they found traces of not shock in the hotel room so be interesting to see what they say about all that meanwhile back on topic for the eastern economic forum what we've been hearing from the other leaders there. yeah well this is a kind of talking shop where these leaders get to sit down together they have bilateral zz they discuss things in a group format as well they were sitting up on stage we had a lot of a person who is of course the host we had our david japanese prime minister the south korean prime minister ping the chinese president and the mongolian president as well and there was lots lots of optimistic chat with words like synergies and

mutual trust and corp and so you know that sort of regional developments kind of discussions but there were other curveballs as well that throughout c. it was talking about the lack of a peace treaty with japan following the end of the second world war they have had a long running territorial disputes over a few small islands in the south of this chain of islands called the corals and. kind of out of nowhere said hey i've got an idea this is just occurred to me why don't we sign a peace treaty by the end of the year and then we can work out all that difficult territorial dispute stuff afterwards it was a surprise to truckle to himself on stage as they have pause rippled around the whole we also heard so much stuff from a lot of me putin and xi jinping as well having a dig at the united states they didn't mention the united states particularly but they said that they were concerned about this kind of new trend of protectionism

that seemed to be sweeping the the globe and of course i think that's a reference to donald trump's trade policies against china but also russia has long framed the sanctions that it is. how to have had has had imposed on it by the united states is russia has long said that that is essentially a trade war as well. for him to be attending their way thanks very much for the update. now closing arguments are being heard in the assassination trial of former lebanese prime minister rafiq hariri in the hague outside court his son lebanese prime minister designate saad hariri said he is seeking justice not revenge for the two thousand and five car bombing for alleged members of the lebanese party hezbollah are accused of the attack which killed twenty one others in order in the hague joins us now with these suspects to look at large what does it actually mean for justice. well yes this is

a question many are asking the court's credibility is at question the suspects remain at large they are being tried in absentia and they're unlikely to appear in court now these men are members of hezbollah but hezbollah the organization does not shy away from the fact that in fact these men are quote men of the resistance so they don't shy away from the fact that these men are members of the group and the secretary general of hezbollah has repeated time and time again that we will never hand over these suspects because according to hezbollah this court is being used as a political tool to damage it so these court these suspects are not sitting in the dock these are originally five men who were indicted one of them a top hezbollah commander mr dean has since been killed in syria so charges against him have been dropped so four men are being charged for the murder of rifi kill how d.d. thirteen years ago now we've been hearing from the prosecution the closing arguments

began on tuesday that what they're saying is that this was a skillful and sophisticated attack they're also arguing that this attack has been was politically motivated and in their words the syrian government was at the heart of the conspiracy and it was hezbollah that actually carried out this operation the prosecution saying that the political activities of her if you can how easy leading up to his murder was why he was killed because he opposed to domination in lebanon the the evidence that they're presenting really is circumstantial it's not direct but according to the prosecution it is compelling and they are relying on the analysis of phone records. the assassination of prime minister rafiq and in two thousand and five was a political earthquake that tore lebanese society apart the aftershocks of the massive bomb blast in beirut are still being felt today. was the leader of the sunday muslim community and the man accused of his murder belonged to

the political group. this months back tribunals investigating his murder is due to hear closing arguments after the prosecution laid out its case a verdict is not expected until at least the middle of next year but already political tensions are resurfacing. means nothing to us at all and its rulings are of no value to those betting on the tribunal creating a new situation that could be capitalized on i say do not play with fire. five members of hezbollah. a few years ago. and top hezbollah commander must have. charges against him were later dropped after his death in syria and two thousand and sixteen hezbollah denies involvement in. and accuses the court of being. the lebanese armed group has vowed never to hand over the suspects who are tried in absentia the prosecution's evidence is based on

an interconnected mobile phone network allegedly used by the suspects in the months before the assassination one of the networks stopped working just two minutes before the truck explosion that killed twenty one other people. the prosecution also explains why senior operatives tied to the syrian government would have sufficient motive to carry out the. killing. and his worsening relationship with syrian president. assad. was pressured to stop the tribunal ministers affiliated to has brought down his first government in two thousand and eleven but years later his political calculations changed he formed a unity government with a group that has since grown stronger politically weakened in the recent elections . trying to form his third government.

he's in a difficult position once the verdict is announced what position would he take. in this neighborhood. loyalties are to the family there demanding the truth behind. they also want justice but that could be if the expense of stability in lebanon. what was his main message. well of course he had to attend for personal reasons he is the son of the murdered. but he had a political message like you you mentioned he did say in one way or another that he has to put his personal feelings aside a considering his position he is the third time prime minister he was designated to continue as prime minister three months ago yes he hasn't been able to form a government in lebanon he clearly is in a much weaker position politically so the balance of power in lebanon currently is

not in his favor hezbollah and its allies made sweeping gains during recent parliamentary elections at his expense and if he is to stay on as prime minister in one way or another he is going to have to work and deal with hezbollah members of that group of course being accused of killing his father so we heard how did he say that you know we've been asking for justice yes it's taken a long time but maybe time made us more rational in one way or the other hinting that he could forgive the group but at the same time he did say you know once a verdict is out we will in one way or another revise our position so psagot how do you do it is in a difficult position we can politically hezbollah and its allies they are the political power in lebanon so if he is to stay on he needs to find a way to work with hezbollah he did form a unity government in two thousand and seventeen his political calculations clearly has changed at least for the time being said to her various latest from the hague thanks very much dana. divisive efforts are underway to avoid what the u.n.

says could be a humanitarian nightmare unlike any seen in what it's called the blood blood soaked syrian conflict thousands of people have already been displaced as government and russian as strikes intensified an adlib province last week around three million people live in the last rebel held and clave that includes hundreds of thousands of internally displaced syrians who say they have nowhere else to go. have what happened was destruction all over burning something you can't describe it was strange military planes rocket propellers everything they did not differentiate between civilians and others there are no places nothing they want to target civilians. what will we do every time it follows us we escape a meter to the north and leave it up to god but now we'll stay here where will we go there's nothing left in the north for us to go to we are stuck here what can we do.
