Higher than what came out but i believe that that tribe you came out with was a result that is satisfying. We need to prevent black nationalism and as the world works to develop a Coronavirus Vaccine in the World Health Organization warns governments against hoarding in support perry sanjay man are being leipzig are inside of a 1st ever appearance in the Champions League final it seems about a play each other in portugal for a place in european footballs biggest club. Lets get going with this news beginning with some breaking news coming to us out of mali where the military say the president and the Prime Minister have been arrested in what could be a coup it started as a mutiny among soldiers. In the time of cutty but 15 kilometers from the capital bamako pictures on twitter said to cause carrying president abraham kita and the Prime Minister boosie see other video has also shown protesters have been calling for mr keats to quit celebrating in bamako made it worse is following developments from the nigerian capital of butcher for a seat on the news are minutes lets talk to you again whats the latest information we have. Well basically the information we have right now is that. The. The the information that president clinton the Prime Minister been arrested and they are currently on their way or right now inside the cutty cam which is effectively and the control of the mutineers. On like you like we said they have arrested senior ministers in the government the foreign minister the finance minister speaker of parliament and other senior officials and senior military troublous if these people are in fact in the hands of the mutineers then effectively its a cool not longer a mutiny because they have all the powers to negotiate they can negotiate to form a government they can also negotiate for their way out with anybody who is interested in negotiating but it doesnt look like they are interested in negotiations reportedly getting right now out of the michael is that probably the military will make an announcement shortly at. 8 oclock local time which is around 20 g. M. T. So we wait to see whether or not that happens and what the military will say now right now what we know is that governments around the world have condemned the cool cool me to me as it is the United States we had some from france we also heard the course the regional bloc and the African Union condemning it as an attempt to and could. To sion and the overthrow of government we live to see what the next like about your of those countries would be we know already that the sanctions they apply on Member States especially the African Union and the Economic Community of West African States that execute a call on a minute civilian government and the punishment actually is to ostracize them to take them out of the union as well as import some economic and political sanctions so we wait to see what if this is indeed a cool we went to see what these organizations and institutions will duel in the next few days i suppose it is fair to say it doesnt really matter whether this is being perpetrated by all of the modern military or a large percentage of the mali and military but whoever is leading this so far it looks like a coup whoever is leading this do we know what it was that if you will push that person over the edge and decided do this and do it today. Yes of course early on there were there were reports that a kind of was in charge of this but it is yet to be confirmed and if this happens definitely with the top military officers now in the hands of the meeting yes its going to be much much easier for them to do whatever they want to set up a government to maybe install an interim government or even negotiate if things get out of control for them with regional bodies like of course of the African Union but one important thing to note is that this can lead to total chaos weve seen this happen in 2012 when president i want you to money to it was pushed out of power by minute by the military over the situation in the north of mali when the thought of rebels rebellion there now what we know is that there is an increase in activity by armed groups al qaida the Islamic State and other various im groups in the north of mali in the book on the border with the book in a fossil and all these places they will exploit any political or military vacuum that is there to launch more aggressive attacks there would be to have be a spoke people with these developments now in bamako so we want what we probably will see in the next few days will be more attacks because the m groups have realized that the security situation in mali is fluid now what probably people will be looking to is the presence of the International Force the french the United Nations and other regional powers to deploy this troops to mali to keep the peace. To stay close keep us posted well come back to you if need be but in the meantime thank you very much well these developments do bear a stark resemblance to the events leading up to malis military coup 82 years ago when soldiers seized power from the then president to money today the Transitional Government later took over and organized elections which the current president missed a key to one but the political turmoil unleashed years of chaos allowing flights. Sees towns in the north of the country kita has faced growing condemnation about his perceived inability to tackle those armed groups joining us on the line from bamako is address a single political analyst and journalist addresses saying give us a sense of where you are and what youve been seeing and hearing.

Why the u. S. Postal service is backtracking on cost cutting measures that could affect the forthcoming president ial election. And in sports with International Athletes are able to compete this world cup avengers taken on a very different local andy explains all in about 30 minutes. Another big story here on the news our un back tribunals has convicted a member of hezbollah over the assassination of the former lebanese Prime Minister rafik hariri the killing in 2005 set the stage for years of confrontation between rival Political Forces judges at the hague found salim jameel guilty of committing terrorist acts and a homicide they said bought the car used in the Suicide Attack and coordinated the surveillance of hariri beforehand the 3 other hezbollah members were acquitted because of a lack of evidence none were in court as pollard denies involvement and has refused to hand the man over the judges say that while hezbollahs leaders and the Syrian Government might have had a motive to kill her theres no direct evidence they did kill harry but they say the nature of the killing was clear the attack was an act of terrorism that was designed to spread fear among litanies population it was committed for 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 smoother and there is no direct evidence of syrian involvement in it. The former lebanese Prime Minister saad hariri his family except the courts ruling over his fathers killing but a punishment must still be served we had like many president s and many from the Prime Ministers were killed either in the office oh outside the office and we never had any truth of what happened i think today is. I mean everybodys expectation was much higher than what came out but i believe that that tribe you came out with where there d is a that is satisfying we accept it well saad hariri is brother however is taking a tougher stance against hezbollah in a statement. That the court was clear about the political background of those involved and the malign influence of hezbollah that hangs over a country like a dark cloud we must blow that dark cloud away if we are to shine as a country live now to our correspondent in beirut tracking this story for us so you know whats the reaction to this being like where you are. Well the reaction has been mixed how do these killing divided the country and there has been no consensus on the International Tribunals supporters of hezbollah believe that this tribunal was created by the u. S. And israel in order to diminish the influence of the group this is what as well has repeatedly said over the years but for others it is a moment of truth for the 1st time there has been accountability and justice has been served this is what we are hearing from people because this country has seen a series of assassinations ever since the days of the civil war you heard the son of the slain Prime Minister say that this is really a precedent that but the question is will this just remain a symbolic verdict because hezbollah is not going to hand over the sallie mae yash who has been found guilty we heard sadil had evie appeal really to hezbollah to cooperate because he will continue to insist the verdict is implemented but how hezbollah reacts to this verdict its going to its hard to say at this point in time because this is not going to heal the divisions in the country this was a muslim sunday muslim Prime Minister and those behind the killing belong to a a shia group so there is really concern about a revival of some the sect in the shia sectarian tensions but this could be a way to reach some sort of a political deal some analysts have been telling us that there is this opening and just looking at other aspects of whats going on in lebanon on weve seen news reports you know the reintroducing measures because of coronavirus some covert 19 but really couldnt call a tougher time for the people of beirut. Undoubtedly there has been an upsurge in the number of corona virus cases for some time now a few weeks ago the daily cases that have been recorded between 10 to 20 and now its 400 and theres also been an increase in the in the number of fatalities hospitals under a lot of strain as of late because theyve been treating the thousands of people who were injured in that massive explosion at beirut ports 2 weeks ago so the Health Care System is under a lot of strain and the country lacks medical supplies yes the International Community has been sending the supplies to this country but its just not enough so the authorities have decided to lock down the country for 2 weeks but this is going to hurt the citizens of this country many of them have lost their jobs they rely on daily wages and the government hasnt been able to step in to compensate for their losses but the government now choosing health over over the economy but undoubtedly this is going to put more hardship. More hardships really for the people of this country ok thanks very much correspondent reporting live from beirut. Well morell not trial a lawyer representing one of the 3 men acquitted says the whole thing was ill conceived sit there. Misuse these accusations against Hussein Hasan se should have never been made he should have never been approved and this process should have never taken place today we are obviously very happy for mr n. S. C. But at the same time i am particularly very saddened that millions of dollars were spent on a file so empty and a verdict that was from the beginning said to be so mediocre ok lets talk now again tonight am hearing executive director of the Arab Reform Initiative now team welcome back to the news of the value of this case was supposed to provide a vessel or a facility for accountability somebody being held to account or a group of people being held to account in that god has it been a success or a failure. Unfortunately not you know immediately there was actually no accused in the dock today even the person that was found convicted silly my hes still an abstention hes in hiding we dont even know where he is but also more broadly it was supposed you know that the high hopes for this trial was that it would end Political Violence as a means of doing politics and getting rid of at groceries and love and on and unfortunately that was not the case we still dont know the full story i mean did not decide one day to kill Prime Minister former Prime Minister hariri so even the truth isnt fully laid out and were already hearing about a potential deal and reconciliation between me and hezbollah as if this was a private matter between the 2 of them this is a matter of National Concern the issue of accountability is a matter of National Concern for all lebanese and lebanese taxpayers almost paid half a 1000000000. 00 for this trial so this is not just about the harry reid family and his butler it is about ending impunity in lebanon the prosecution however during quite a long court case did not link the central allegations to the hezbollah leadership if they had done that could the outcome have been different or did they choose not to do that because they just thought theres no way we can prove that. You know i dont know i dont know where the evidence that i dont have access to it what is clear and what is this appointing is. Reading the judgement today is it seems the investigation stopped at one point in 2006 we all knew about the different cell phone towers and the analysis of the cell phone communication bu
