across the board was this expected. well i think the world the judge is basically in reading out his judgment and he's saying that the nut jobs defense lawyers were not able to show reasonable doubt that not just did not know what was happening the judge has rejected defense argument that knowledge of had been duped by finance years and that he thought that the money the $10000000.00 that appeared in his personal bank account was a donation from saudi arabia now and the charges he's been found guilty of all 7 charges and they carry very heavy penalties they they range from 15 to 20 years in prison he could also be fined 5 times up to the amount that he's received so it could run into tens of millions of dollars and we're not sure when sentencing is going to take place the judge could defer that to

a big mistake when it assessed israel's its own nation to defend itself and lebanon paid a price but any attack against us will be met with great force not to repeat this mistake and we do not live a normal. israel has been on heightened alert cincinnati strike last week in syria attributed to israel killed a hezbollah fighter there has been has vowed to avenge any such deaths in southern lebanon the aftermath of the israeli artillery barrage hezbollah denied having carried out any operation saying israelis fired into lebanon out of confusion and panic and if statement was read out on the hezbollah affiliated elman our t.v. then. it was all one sided and it was by an enemy that is afraid terrified and worried our response to the martyrdom of our brother kamil most and who died in the zionist attack in the damascus airport region is definitely coming and there's a sign of subi whiting for the punishment of their crimes last year

requirements of the transition and the hopes of many for a stable country morgan al-jazeera. ukraine says pro russian separatists have broken a ceasefire just hours after it came into effect ukrainian soldiers say their positions came under attack but that they did not return fire fighting was supposed to stop in the regions a cease fire deal was backed by ukrainian president. vladimir putin 13000 people have been killed in fighting in eastern ukraine since 24. hugh zealand has become the latest nation to suspend its extradition treaty with hong kong the movers in response to the national security law beijing is imposing on the territory canada australia and the u.k. have also suspended their treaties and you there just targets crimes that it considers subversive. the coronavirus pandemic has exposed deep inequalities in towns and cities around the world how people live in them and what services they have access to un report argues that now is the time to reset how we live in urban

areas and move toward a sustainable future report says there are 90 percent of cases have been in cities making them the epicenter of the pandemic some urban economies are serving their residents better than others a quarter of the world's urban population for example live in slums many lack access to running water and the basic sanitation needed to effectively stop transmission of the virus on less than half of the world's population have access to open public spaces near their homes u.n. secretary general antonio gates had a says the pandemic has given governments a chance to reshape urban areas the regular the option of telecommuting illustrates social status controls for seemingly overnight to confront urgent sets we must act with the super urgency and resolve to transform cities and address the climate and pollution crisis now is the time to rethink and reshape the little worlds now is

centuries so cities are where wealth gets created the issue is tapping into that but if you order for me what. you need to do you need to work today to tonight i'm seeing this gap happening between people who can work from home and many people are quite liking that but 1st people are more vulnerable the issue is you can't do that you have to go to work you have to be on public transport you have to be in a dense market so less than civil societies take that seriously if you like and actually institute reforms that make a difference for those most vulnerable in society tragically the prognosis is the next issue will be the same thing. civil rights pioneer john lewis has been given one of the highest honors for public service and georgia congressman is the 1st black lawmaker to lie in state at the capitol rotunda in washington d.c. it's part of 6 days of our morals to remember lewis who died on july 17th. after a battle with pancreatic cancer on special reports. a final journey through
