a traditional convention the roll call is an important set piece and doing it virtually this time they made it slick and polished show that this was a night to show the past and the future there were contributions from former president jimmy carter former. residential nominee john kerry and congresswoman alexandra keshia cortez an influential figure on the progressive wing of the party and considered a rising star it was also an appearance from bill clinton the former president who's lit up conventions in the past given just 5 minutes this time but still getting his message across at a time like this the oval office should be a command center instead it's a storm center is only chaos it's 20 years since bill clinton was president on wednesday he'll celebrate his 74th perfect and he'll still be 3 years younger than the current democratic presidential nominee former secretary of state colin powell was just one of

a number of republicans who also spoke giving his endorsement to joe biden the values i learned growing up in the south bronx and serving in uniform with the same values that joe biden's parents instilled in him in scranton pennsylvania i support joe biden for the presidency of the united states because those values still define him i have always loved the sound keynote on tuesday was the nominee's wife jill biden who lined what she thought her husband would deliver for america leadership to really of magic what our nation will be that's joe. he and kamel will work as hard a you do every day to make this nation better wednesday will see vice presidential pick deliver her speech that role is normally to attack the opposition to hit them and hit them hard and this type will be no different alan fischer al-jazeera washington. us democrat so they'll press ahead with

a bill to prevent changes to the postal service despite assurances that cost cutting plans are being suspended the postmaster general has halted some changes following a public outcry about the potential impact on the presidential elections donald trump suggested the mail in voting would be susceptible to fraud last week he admitted blocking postal service funding that would allow it to deal with a surge in ballots an international tribunal backed by the u.n. has found a member of his ball are guilty over the 2005 bombing that killed former prime minister rafik hariri 3 other men were acquitted they were all tried in absentia notice to resign to hold a reports from beirut. this special tribunal for lebanon reached its verdict in the trial of 4 hezbollah members charged with conspiracy to kill former prime minister rafiq ahead e.d. and $21.00 others ayyash was found guilty the 3 others were acquitted because the

circumstantial evidence was not strong enough to prove their guilt beyond reasonable doubt. prosecutors have based their case on evidence of a phone network that monitored how d.d. months before his death that went silent following his murder. had a son assad himself a former prime minister was in the court in the hague for the judgement he welcomed the verdict vowing not to rest until punishment was served and calling on hezbollah to cooperate. with them in the name of the leaders family the martyr rafique hariri and in the name of all the families of martyrs and victims we accept the court's ruling and wish but justice to be served to be clear that we are not giving up our blood right. judges did say there wasn't enough evidence to prove direct involvement by hezbollah's leadership or the syrian government which was in control of lebanon at the time of the murder they did note i asked his affiliation to the

group and his communication with most of a better deal in a known hezbollah commander who died in mysterious circumstances in syria in 2016 is going to be very difficult. to believe that it. was high level. well it's carried out. without any kind of green light. from the syrian regime. hezbollah secretary general has long denied any role in the massive bomb blast in beirut 15 years ago it's not clear how he will respond to saddam had called to cooperate but has repeatedly vowed never to hand over the suspects. we don't feel concerned by the tribunals decisions for us it will be as if no decision was ever announced a fair brothers are unjustly sentenced as we expect we will maintain their innocence. the former prime minister's killing tore lebanon society apart he was

considered the leader of the muslims and the community whose assassin belongs to a shiite group the verdict is unlikely to heal divisions there's been political instability since killing it was also followed by a series of assassinations that targeted anti syrian government figures in the country since then the political landscape changed the balance of power favors hezbollah and its allies which control political and military power but some see an opportunity to solve the latest political crisis. saw hariri called on hezbollah to sacrifice the same way he and his group sacrificed and this somehow opens the doors for settling political issues the court which can only accuse individuals didn't tie has a bonus leadership to the murder but it indirectly implicated it leading many to

believe the verdict could either set the stage for further instability or and years of confrontation that followed the assassination. let's go live to beirut. with us from there as you said in your report saying the verdict is unlikely to hew to the morning off to. no. mixed reactions it depends who you speak to there are those who welcomed the verdict saying justice is finally been served but at the same time they believe the verdict is symbolic because what they want to sport the punishment to be. tried in absentia he remains at large and the secretary of. reports say we are not going to hand over our brothers so this is what some would like to see for the punishment to be served it's something that saddam himself repeated time and time again that this will bring closure really for many people but at the

same time a lot of people are disappointed they say that they don't believe a low level operatives would have carried out this intricate. assassination without getting the order from the leadership now we all have to remember that this court and its mandate only allows it to accuse individuals not to groups and not states and this court also cannot prosecute you for that if they don't have enough proof beyond reasonable doubt they relied on circumstantial evidence it was a very difficult it investigation especially since those in power had no faith in this tribunals they repeatedly called it politicized but the verdict has now been politicized and for many it's what matters is lebanon's court of public opinion much more than the verdict that was issued yesterday by the trial chamber. news then a true arrest to be made of the ongoing investigation into the explosion. yes

the explosion the report behind me it's now the file is now in the hands of the judiciary the. you have made 2 significant arrests the head of port as well as the head of the customs authorities are continuing to question suspects court officials custom officials as well as security officials but many lebanese are not satisfied they believe that those responsible are the senior officials people like the president the prime minister people who knew even just weeks before that the presence of ammonium nitrate in that warehouse was there and unsafe conditions and that they should have done something about it but what's more important is that many have little faith in the judiciary which is just not independent in fact one of the reforms the international community has been demanding from the lebanese authorities is to create an independent judiciary the higher judicial council the highest judicial body in lebanon is investigating the case for over 5 judges

they're appointed by ministers and the judge leading this case there was political wrangling before he was appointed the 2 names before his name was proposed are considered independent judges he is not considered and append the judge by activists so many still calling for an independent investigation but the response from the authorities is you know this will remain a lebanese. reporting live from beirut but he thinks. president mahmoud abbas is describing the mobilization deal between israel and the u.a.e. . about also accuse the gulf arab states of turning its back on palestinians as part of the u.s. brokered agreement israel will suspend but not scrap plans to nix promised an interest free that. they have turned their backs on everything the rights of the palestinian people the palestinian state the 2 state solution and holy jerusalem which has been annexed and they announced it's an exception they have turned their

backs on all of this and came to tell us that they came to suspend an accession for us palestinians and we should be happy about it this is deception it is rejected and it is a stab in the back of the palestinian cause. south korea is reporting its highest number of new corona virus infections since march nearly 300 cases were detected in the latest tally new restrictions on gatherings have been imposed in seoul and surrounding areas hundreds of recent infections have been linked to a church whose members rallied against restrictions over the weekend from so bright reports it is led to be authorities to reintroduce the kind of social distancing that had been in place back at phase 2 on a 3 level scale this means for example that a number of venue's which had been open and now told to close again public venues like museums galleries other high risk establishment like a nightclubs buffet style restaurants they are having to close also restrictions on

gatherings be they indoor gatherings or outdoor gatherings we've recently just seen spectators being allowed back to watch for example baseball matches in small numbers well those baseball matches will still go on but without spectators most significantly perhaps are the restrictions all congregations of churches in the metropolitan areas services will now have to be held online and this is because of course there is real concern about this one particular controversial church here in the sole metropolitan area where where more than 500 of these now case of cases have been linked back to so there's a real concern especially about the cooperation of this church it is led by a controversial pastor who claims that 19 is all a conspiracy from north korea to get his congregation so there's been a lack of cooperation and the concern is of course that this all is happening in the northwest corner of the country the greater metropolitan area around seoul than

in show which is home to hearth of south korea's $50000000.00 plus population so there's a real concern that they have to get this under control. latin america is one of the worst hit regions in the world by the coronavirus it's recorded more than 6000000 cases and more than 200000 deaths half of those who've died in the area of from brazil. it's good to have you with us hello adrian fell again here in doha the headlights of 0 a coup leaders in mali say that they'll oversee new elections after forcing the resignation of president abraham bookout kaito recently has prompted international condemnation the u.n. security council will meet later to discuss the crisis speaking on state television military leaders say that they're acting in the country's best interests money
