Allen the number of people speaking on day 2 john kerry former secretary of state joe bidens wife jill i was interested to see that one of the big rising names in u. S. Politics alexandria cause he has got Something Like 60 seconds to speak. Hart position was to nominate or to 2nd the nomination of Bernie Sanders for president there of course were 2 finalists if you want to pick a better word for the nomination for the democratic nomination and she put forward. Bernie sanders never going to when we knew what the result was before there all call came so she wasnt talking about joe biden prosperous if it leave it talking more about the movement that she is leading on the Progressive Side or of the Democratic Party the sensually dont a marker to joe biden to see the new generation wants these things this is something that you should be particularly aware of over the next 4 years should you win the white house so its very interesting but what were also going to see in the next. 15 minutes statements from cindy mccain whos john mccains wife he of course was a former republican senator who died in office voted against donald trump a couple of times on the senate floor she is going to give her endorsement to joe biden is a call and poll thats not quite such a big surprise he was of course a republican secretary of state but he has endorsed the last 3 no democratic candidate is someone who was very very much in the never trumper camp even though he still describes himself as a republican and then the final speech of the evening will come from joe biden who no doubt wall normally in these occasions its to introduce the country to the candidate but given that joe bidens been around politics in the United States for more than 50 years i think that ships already sailed what shes going to do is sing the praises of the man that she hopes will be the next president of the United States thank you alan fischer at the white house on day 2 of the Democratic National convention. Now an International Tribunal backed by the United Nations has found a member of hezbollah are guilty over the 2005 bombing that killed former Prime Minister rafik hariri it took 15 years and a 1000000000. 00 for the judges to reach their conclusion none of the suspects though were ever arrested so has our report now 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 if you can have e. D. And 21 others. Was found guilty the city 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. T. Months before his death that went silent following his murder. Had a son saad 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 courts ruling and wish that justice to be served to be clear we are not giving up our blood right. Judges did say there wasnt enough evidence to prove direct involvement by hezbollahs 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 its carried out. Without any kind of green light. From the syrian regime. Hezbollah secretary general has in the long denied any role in the massive bomb blast in beirut 15 years ago its not clear how he will respond to saad call to cooperate but has repeatedly vowed never to hand over the suspects. We dont 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 Ministers 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 theres 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. Saad 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 didnt tie has a policy to ship 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 that if they vote for kerry son bass spoke to us earlier and said he was disappointed the court couldnt place the blame with hezbollahs leadership the court as as you know very well that its mandated. It can only go after individuals is very clear its mandate is limited to individuals not parties or states even if they are sponsoring terrorism it is Crystal Clear that they were very there they were quite limited also. They were handling the the actual. Site of the of the of the explosion which made it even more difficult to have final conclusion on that but its just a clear in direct and shows that. That its a political assassination and when they spoke clearly about the sort of. Lesser supported. The withdrawal of syrian troops and the disarmament of the militias and at the time who was left as hezbollah and all the meeting between him and there were times when you told him you know. Quote unquote you know im 3 quarters opposition and one quarter not and he said syria cannot go on for ever.
