thursday thank you thank you thank you rhode island the oceans stay in 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. presidential nominee john kerry and congresswoman alexandra 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 support giving his endorsement to joe biden the values i learned growing up in the south bronx and serving in uniform were 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 matter what our nation will be that's joe. he and common law 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. the us democrats say that 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 election donald trump a 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 mike hanna in washington says the democrats are concerned that these changes of only been suspended. so that's what it's been announced by the postmaster general and that's not a good enough for the speaker of the house nancy pelosi who says that this just means that no more changes are going to be made it does not mean that what has already happened will be reversed she says that the house is going ahead with a meeting on saturday calling all members back from recess to pass

a bill that will move the postal service back to what it was on the 1st of january this year before lewiston made took over as postmaster general so there's still dissatisfaction on congress and it's increasingly bipartisan the senate oversight committee has now called on the postmaster general to appear before it this friday he's also appearing before the democratic house committee on a monday so he's going to get a grilling in congress and certainly what the democrats are going to be are asking is how did he get the job in the 1st place he's a noted republican donor and in february he gave his last the nation to the trump campaign more than a quarter of a $1000000.00 he was appointed to the position of postmaster general by the board of governors in may so questions from the democrats are going to be how did he get this job is it undue influence is it a case of trump patronage forcing the board of governors to appoint him to the job so lots to happen in the days ahead then of course there's still that great concern

about the impact this will have on the postal service during that november election an international tribunal backed by the u.n. has found a member of his bar guilty over the 2005 bombing that killed former lebanese prime minister rafik hariri it took 15 years of a $1000000000.00 for the judges to reach their conclusion but none of the suspects as ever been arrested so hard are 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 and heavy duty 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. that it. was high.

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 saad call 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 if our brothers are unjustly sentenced as we expect we will maintain their innocence. the former prime minister's killing toward society apart he was considered the leader of the muslim community whose assassin belongs to a 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. 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 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. of a lebanese judge has been ordering arrests over the explosion in the blast earlier this month killed more than $200.00 people and left parts of the city in ruins

authorities issued warrants for the head of the port and its customs chief $25.00 people in total facing charges. palestinian president mahmoud abbas is describing the normalization deal between israel and the u.a.e. as nonsense about also accused 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 annex palestinian territory 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 its annexation they have turned their backs on all of this and came to tell us that they came to suspend annexation 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 has reported its highest

number of new corona virus infections since march nearly 300 cases were detected in the latest tally era strictures 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 i'll just do is report bride reports. it is led the authorities to reintroduce the kind of social distancing that had been in place we're back at phase 2 on a 3 level scale this means for example that a number of venue which had been open and now told to close again public venues like museums galleries other high risk establishment like 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 on 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 heart of south korea's 50000000 plus population so there's a real concern that they have to get this under control people in colombia and the
