An adult sporting event a being to bring people closer together unity is needed this years beirut marathon comes at a time of increased assert. And a political vacuum lebanons Prime Minister suddenly announced his resignation from the saudi capital more than a week ago since then there has been concern about saddam how deedes well being lebanese leaders believe he was forced to step down and is detained in saudi arabia saudi leaders say hes free to go but fear for his safety if he returns to Lebanon Lebanese across the political divide are demanding his return home is not clear in the run on which is a very very different problem you know. Its like life broken hope he comes back said. Its not like that hope for that hollywood that what i guess im this mother of two that hes going to think is the prime reason for the runoff. And yet to come back these are the most recent t. V. Pictures of heidi meeting the saudi king in riyadh the airport he has been seen three times in public since his resignation speech but hasnt made any comment people are using the marathon to show solidarity with the heidi the slogans include we are running for you we are all waiting for you for now the lebanese are standing together in a rare show of unity but there is no indication of when how do you will return and if and when he does there is no guarantee that lebanons political crisis will be resolved well seem bizarre who join the marathon to support Cancer Patients is optimistic that this time around the crisis can be contained. On their own feet as i see things in a positive light unlike in the past the lebanese people are thinking about their own interests in the interests of the country. Others are less optimistic because lebanons Political Parties tend to answer to their regional patrons we dont want other countries to interfere and i would. Want only the anybody as army to have the arms. Support and protect this country a clear reference to hezbollah. Im doing an issue that cuts at the heart of lebanons political divide a divide that has shattered stability and threatened coexistence in a not so distant past that if. They dont ask what else of christian is a middle east analyst and writes if a gulf news he joins me live from beirut said hi there joseph good to have your company what do you think hes most likely to say well hes probably going to explain what he has not done during the past week namely to tell the world why he resigned from the position of Prime Minister he has in his previous groundsman said that his life was in danger presumably he knows something that the rest of the world does not know that in fact his life wasnt danger and that hes left the country in order to protect himself first and foremost thats one option the second option he will probably reveal is to to tell us whether or not there were circumstances that led him to make the decision that he has made what to us are we dont know were all speculating what may have pushed him to do this but i would just like to remind everyone thats complaining about the fact that this man has been away and he was kidnapped and all thats kind of things that in fact. When he was forced to resign for the first time in twelve general two thousand and eleven nobody asked him for his return nobody said you must come back and remind everyone that the resignation occurred in washington d. C. When he was meeting with president obama at that time when the current foreign minister then a deputy minister indie rather it minister in the government. It third of the parliamentarians from the coalition and the government got out so now i think there is a bit of irony people are saying now that he must return to decree and so on and so forth but all of these people who are shedding crocodile tears were not around to support stopped several years ago and so joseph what do you make of the story that says actually hes been kidnapped he isnt perhaps giving this interview of his own free will. If you were to be kidnapped obviously you would not be meeting with the king of so if you wanted you know he will not be welcome in abu dhabi when you went to meet the heir apparent there im not been say it i dont think that there is much credibility that to claim that he is kid no in fact the man has declared openly that he was protecting his life that his life was in danger and lets remember that several sources in the country were very im happy with him and they were criticizing him before the resignation this did not occur in a call to void it occurred or specific reasons its like it was made you know inside the government and he just couldnt take it anymore at any one point so he decided to resign where does lebanon go from here i can only imagine and the same to the voices in our correspondence piece there in the marathon that people are very confused but i wonder what the next steps on. Regrettably the lebanese been could use is nothing new but as you say the next step is going to be complicated because the lebanese are living in denial there is a crisis in this country a political crisis of the first order where the country is split fifty fifty more or less with one group saying that we need to maintain our end of identity and defend the causes that are in the best interests of lebanon which just Economic Prosperity and relationships with the gulf countries and on the other hand you have the another group of individuals who are saying other futurists side with iran and the rise of iran in the middle east so theyre poor this fundamental crisis that exists is nothing that lebanese president or government can do anything about the lebanese are confused this is correct but the lebanese have essentially what themselves in this situation joseph joining me from they were joseph. A place. Last to mention the lebanese Prime Minister saad hariri is due to give his first public interview since the shock waves that nation in the next hour and well bring that interview to you as soon as it happens. That president tom says he backs the conclusion of u. S. Intelligence agencies that russia did mental in the twenty sixteen president ial election the writing on twitter he slammed what he called the full so polls better times with moscow times clarification comes after he suggested on sense that theyve they believe that amir putin when he said russia did not interfere with the phone when he reports not from hanoi. Two themes dominated Donald Trumps visit to vietnam competing with china for influence in asia and offering conflicting messages about russian influence on his election win last year i believe that president putin really feels and he feels strongly that he did not meddle in our election what he believes is what he believes what i believe is that we have to get to work and i think everybody understood this that heard the answer hours earlier he spoke off camera with reporters and said Something Different following brief discussions with blood amir putin at the apec summit in downing he said he believes the russian president didnt meddle in the election comments were criticized by some in the United States government intelligence agencies have concluded that there was russian interference in the campaign in his meeting with the vietnamese president in hanoi trump said he believes a strong relationship with russia can help fix the worlds problems we have to get to work to solve syria to solve north korea to solve ukraine itself terrorism its now time to get back to healing a world that is shattered and broken those are very important thing donald trump back some self as a deal maker someone who can make things happen and while much of this trip was about trade and business he also offered to help keep the peace between vietnam and China Vietnam and china are in a long running territorial dispute in the South China Sea along with other neighboring countries donald trump told his vietnamese counterpart. That he could help make things better while also touting u. S. Weapons contracts. You. Know. Really where. Were going to use. Donald trump says hes not interested in multilateral trade deals chinas president xi jinping whos also in vietnams capital says hes not interested in multilateral talks on the South China Sea when hey aljazeera hanoi meanwhile trumpets find time to respond to north Koreas Foreign Ministry after a call called him old chum been tempted to its a complaint he would never call kim jong un short and fat he added that he tries hard to be the north korean leaders friend and that someday it might happen. And gallagher joins us live from washington d. C. Ending this war of words is getting very personal indeed isnt it and it has been for some time remember this is been going on for a while even when the secretary of state from here Rex Tillerson was trying to reach out to north korea President Trump was tweeting out wrecks youre wasting your time basically undermining his own secretary of state look these are fairly childish barbs going between these two leaders but the bottom line is we are no closer to a diplomatic solution in what is a very serious and important problem both these leaders have the codes to Nuclear Weapons so while some people might find this kind of amusing it is very serious and the u. S. Government and President Trump are no nearer to really reaching out and doing anything with north korea clearly President Trump is trying to work with china and its clear that he also wants to work with russia in solving this problem but these kinds of tweets these kinds of insults arent really helping and mandy we saw mixed messages to from trump on russian interference on the u. S. Election and how are they being interpreted stateside. Well i think the headlines from trump on saturday basically backing up a lot of near putin saying he believes that russia hadnt interfered with the us elections will go on for days here in the United States because the background to all this remember is Robert Mullers investigation into alleged ties of collusion between the trunk campaign in russia very serious allegations that have already seen a few people under house arrest in a few indictments handed out so the president trying to say that on saturday really gave his critics a lot of ammunition and a lot of fodder then twenty four hours later suddenly on sunday he says the opposite thing he says i back my intelligence communities i do believe that russia was interfering in u. S. Elections but clearly President Trump is a great admirer of Lott Amir Putin he seems to want to forge some kind of relationship with russia saying that the reason behind that is because he wants to solve all these global problems but he certainly isnt helping himself here in the United States and gallagher there live from washington d. C. Andy thanks. Still to come on the on to syria news hour iraqi forces discover four hundred bodies in mass graves left behind by i so.
