A. Factory walkouts of protests continue in belarus with growing calls for president Alexander Lukashenko to resign. We have got to do everything we can to elect my friend joe biden as the next president of the united states. Democrats rally us voters to support their presumptive president ial candidate joe biden at an online party convention. Its taken 50 years and cost close to a 1000000000. 00 now the investigation and trial and the assassination of former lebanese Prime Minister at a fico d. D. Is finally reaching its climax in the last few hours a un banks tribunal has been delivering its Closing Remarks ahead of the. Picked the 4 defendants sole members of hezbollah and course refused to hand them over and denies any involvement had 80 and 21 others died in the suicide bombing in 2005 deep in exact area and political divides and their ruling judges have already said theres no direct evidence that leaders of hezbollah and syria were involved they say the nature of the killing was clear the attack was an act of terrorism that was designed to spread fear among the lebanese population it was committed full political and not personal reasons the Trial Chamber is of the view that syria and hezbollah may have had motives to eliminate mr hariri and some of his political allies however there was no evidence that this hezbollah leadership had any involvement in mr hariri murder and there is no direct evidence of syrian involvement in it. Well that what is live for us now in beirut zain to just tell us what does this all mean for the lebanese people. Well its not going to heal divisions ever since going to be and how easy it was in the country plunged into turmoil there is a divide the nation is a polarized you mention has a law their members have been indicted there are suspects and this is not the nation but the group has this miss the court as a Political Tool and their supporters believe that the rest of the population think otherwise they believe that it was the Syrian Government and hezbollah they were controlling the security establishment at the time they controlled political their political allies were in power they were responsible really for for this attack so the Lebanese Court of Public Opinion has already issued its verdict theyre not waiting for the verdict to be announced to by by the courts now how will this change things that will definitely not heal divisions but we have to see whether or not the 2 main players now in this country which is has will last Ansaldo Heidi who is now in the opposition and the son of the slain Prime Minister who is in the hague how he will react to the verdict it will give us an indication whether or not where his political calculations lie on whether these 2 main actors in lebanon will Work Together and move on after the verdict whatever the verdict may be we are expecting him to speak i believe in the coming few hours zain what is the position of hezbollah being in all of this. Hezbollah from the start even before the indictments try to discredit the court saying that it is a tool be used by israel and this is all aimed at diminishing hezbollahs influence in the country but hezbollah does not to shy away from the fact that these men. Belong to the group in fact one of them the 5th man who was indicted but later died in mysterious circumstances in damascus a few years back is one of their commanders mostafa seen so many here do not believe that these operatives could have carried out this attack without the group giving a giving an order even the Syrian Government weve heard the Trial Chamber talk about the fact that the crime scene. They didnt even look for a missing person a missing person it was a bystander his body was left there for for over 2 weeks so it showed that those in power the security agents agencies which were in power and allied to syria at the child did not want to carry a thorough and credible investigation at the time so this verdict is not going to heal the divisions there is no government in lebannon the government resigned last week under public pressure because of the blast at the port that destroyed many areas of the capital so how is this going to affect the formation of the next government how is it going to affect politics the political fallout that will become clearer in the days to come thank you for that one of their live for us from beirut. Well lets bring in now International Lawyer they are she is also in beirut she is a full and legal outreach officer for the arab region at the International Criminal court thank you so much for your time he has been as you know a lot of criticism of the special tribunal for neven on what does you do you believe has come out of the process and of todays judgment. The main value of the vertical and of the whole course is the public and existence of a special lieutenant is to make it possible to hold the retailers or in great crimes in return and on to them even if it was in that in that sense even if justice wouldnt be unless the rules inhibits it will be put behind bars but it means we know that they will never be using their Real Identities or even the beat identities of their parents we know that we some political that knowledge means International Political and or. Treat those of off the political responsibility or as well not exist up to a verdict issued by an international or with holds the highest standards for justice so this is very important to a lot of pleadings were who have lost members of their families and assets the nation and the explosions and perhaps that the place after that so most in our party and also lost members in and pam of doing the civil war which really never went who the state never went through it was the Civil Justice after the civil war which led to the Current Situation look the. State of security and we none existence or series up to the ritz. And the reading out of the of the judgment today i believe that the full document is some 2 and a half 1000 pages long but from what we had today at least initially they went into a lot of real specifics about how mobile phones mobile networks were used in the lead up to the assassination what did you make of that was there anything new to come out of what we had today. Well this brings to us the. Discussion or there it to it which is well known by the defense that this crime or the judgment would be based on circumstantial evidence although it is acknowledged within the liberties and other national and also international to this is a system that such evidence is sufficient. Sufficiently acceptable to to indict an individual so what meant what is missing here that the prosecution was not the bill of linking. The responsibility of these 4 individuals who are. Those men. In the organization is build up they were not capable of linking this responsibility to the. Administration has pulled up to the orchestra so there was no criminal evidence although many statements. When probably by. Some a struggle would constitute at least crimes on sense according to court 60 in the states or this is a special type of authority granted it is something that we have expected at some one but the prosecution and the. And the special type will work with the brits or at least the concept there in order to issue criminal proceedings against the possible thats what will happen since we might be seen often. Thanks so much for your time they are there live for us in beirut we for shit.
