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. Actually outside in by marco. I was going to cut to see whats happening exactly. Just i find. The military convoy coming down by microsoft all of them they go.

These are these these people are not rely on the press office and in front of them a call to come how they are happy you know to see the president. Regime food down all over food so exactly what hes a celebrity i can see it but most of the purple outside celebrity from the Wives Movement the people who are running the coup some members who are a big number of the military we are now reporting what other people are reporting saying that they have taken the president and the Prime Minister out to bamako and hes now arrested or under detention in kathy why take them to catch you why not leave them being held in bamako. You know the county is the calm. Leading by these 2 officers of officer the officer.

The president is and they control and say we we are waiting for and also sell our most mines people are saying the president has but the minute that the military the modern military doesnt. Told us something is going on why do you think the audience ok pat me for injury interrupting you the address of the line has got a bit of a delay on it and i apologize for that what do you think the military will do with the president and the Prime Minister and these other government officials who theyve arrested. I cant say exactly what but there is a lot of possibility there are no. 2 to negotiate if that is a negotiation going on your way and we so are some off with an organisation who will try to free president even a guy even if he was not remain in power but there was tried to free him in to secure his life and so government do so down here in these people to to to to to do it in you is off all negotiation coming in a few days or in a few or minutes maybe ok interest thank you so much for coming on to aljazeera to talk to us and as address it was mentioning that there is a lot of speculation that we are in the next couple of hours going to see or hear some announcement from the military in mali admitted to us was paying lip service to this as well its apparently going to happen at 20 hours g. M. T. So an hour and 45 as soon as we have access to that well bring it to you here on aljazeera more reaction coming in all the time from the Russian Deputy foreign minister me held book down off saying theyve received information about the arrests of the mahdi and president and the Prime Minister thats according to the news agency also said the moscow is concerned about the events in money.

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 but the judgment and the evidence that was put forth by the prosecution really was not that strong now was it because of incompetence was it simply because it was very challenging you know the murderers were too sophisticated was there at some point a fear that actually to follow the evidence all the way to the end would just create more instability the truth is we dont know and it is unlikely that we will ever know an answer to that and this is why i think today most people in lebanon feel like they did not get the answers that they were hoping for regardless of what matter i mean depending on what you believe in and love and on after the decision today you will still believe in not those who suspect that hezbollah was behind the murder will continue to believe that and those who feel that or believe that hezbollah it was not responsible for the murder or will feel vindicated and meanwhile the divisions in lebanon are not about to get healed does this change the optics of lebanese politics today. Its hard to tell because in a way lebanese politics are being attended as we speak this is you know in a way the tribunals is 15 years too late at this stage theres been so many things that have happened in the country since the assassination in 2005 lebanon is in the middle of a pricing revolution that wants to change the entire system and so meanwhile the tribunals in a way is still being analyzed through the old lens of the march 14th camp versus the march. So theres a bit of a disconnect in time and the actual impact remains to be seen in one way you know this is a judgment that saddam and hezbollah can live with and we know that they are attempting to come back together to power in some form what they call a National Unity government and theres not much unity in these governments but this is what they call it to rule again meanwhile people on the streets and not going on are really fed up with the entire Political Class and we really want the country to move beyond these divisions to a new system of governance where actually accountability becomes the norm not the exception and even today i mean we heard former Prime Minister thats not how you say you know weve had many assassinations and lebannon and this is a bit better than before actually what the lebanese are saying is we want to have answers to all these former assassinations and we want to change the way politics are done in this country ok well leave it there not in horry that in paris good to talk to over the last few hours i mean thank you very much thank you. The judge in lebanon today issued a warrant for the arrest of the manager of the port in beirut years already detained at his home anyway almost 3000 tons of highly explosive chemical stored improperly at the port blew up on august the 4th more than 200 people were killed hundreds of thousands were left homeless staff decker is in beirut she has more now about the accusations against the port manager. He is part of those 25. 00 people who were detained 10 days ago as part of investigation senior customs official ports officials and Security Officials he was questioned today for 4 hours we understand and now an official arrest warrant has been issued this means that he will now be officially arrested it comes after yesterday the judge also issued an official arrest warrant for the customs the head of customs here at the port so what youre seeing now is the senior man the people in charge of this ports being officially arrested they have been detained theyve been the subject questioning their 21. 00 more whove been detained who is still subject to questioning Going Forward so were seeing some movement lets say when it comes to this investigation when it comes to officially arresting people but there are still a lot of questions to be answered i can tell you we just left interviewing a family their father a husband worked at those silos he still hasnt been found they were saying we want answers theres no one we can talk to and theyve apparently stopped looking for bodies so people very angry blaming the system wanting alters and they were saying particular they wanted an International Investigation they didnt trust the lebanese to be in charge of finding answers here because they say that the system is responsible for what has happened there so yes the investigation is moving but i think certainly for now the aunts are is it going to be a long time off and whether the public will that accept them is another question ok we have some stories of course we do still to come here the news hour including these 2 south africas easy going to be locked up but months of restrictions may have already cost hundreds of functions of jobs in the Tourism Sector and the sports news with andy the n.

Now the latest angle to do with the u. S. President ial elections november the 3rd of course the u. S. Postal Service Today announcing it is suspending cost cutting measures after a public outcry about the potential impact of the president ial election the head of the Postal Service louis de joy warned last week that they wouldnt be able to handle the volume of mail in ballots hes now back tracking say all but saying all ballots will be delivered on time democrats accuse President Trump of trying to curry mail in votes in which he says could be subject to widespread fraud hes providing no evidence to back up that assertion live now to our White House Correspondent kimberly hellcat so kimberly this is quite the u. Turn you can smell burning rubber here. Yeah its an abrupt q turn and not only is the postmaster general backtracking on now saying that the Postal Service will be able to handle the volume of mail in ballots come november but hes also halted until after the u. S. Election the reforms that were taking place in order to stream live in to get the Postal Service to be sort of a better functioning body if you will it has lost billions of dollars in the past and the republican appointed president ial appointed postmaster general we had put in place a number of reforms but the accusations from democrats that is that what this was was then leave veiled Voter Suppression that what was being done was an effort underway to actively influence the outcome of the 2020 alexion by making it more difficult for americans to vote but as far as mr trump is concerned this is been such a politicized and a political issue for him for the past what 2 weeks i guess you know hes saying oh thats a fraud well make chaos of the election but given this decision by the Postal Service. Suddenly magically is no such an issue presumably for mr trump. Yeah its really interesting why the postmaster general has put out this statement he was scheduled to testify before lawmakers called for an emergency hearing to appear before the democrat controlled house of representatives on monday just as he agreed to that the Republican Controlled Senate said were going to have you come and talk with 1st in the midst of all of this there was also a call back of some members of the house of representatives to vote on legislation to essentially put in place through law what he has now done in his statement now other words putting off those reforms until after the u. S. Election there was a Massive Public outcry i cant underscore that this is has been a headline issue for days here in the United States with Many Americans gravely concerned because why do they want mail in voting because right now theyre scared to stand in line its not socially distance to cope with 19 its a high risk so Many Americans want to put this through the mail their vote they feel that they can trust the Postal Service but as you pointed out peter the u. S. President has the exact opposite position without evidence he has said that this is ripe for voter fraud and essentially that this is a going to allow the democrats to rig the election something that kitty continues to rail against even as he has not offered no evidence kimberly thanks for that can be called good reporting live for us at the white house. Well President Trumps political opponents the democrats as weve been hearing holding their convention to officially nominate joe biden into the race to get to the white house this is the 1st time they arent gathering in person because of covert 19 thats a break in close to 190 years of tradition delegates in ohio have always played an Important Role in the process picking the eventual winner of the National Election nearly every time aljazeera is john hendren has been speaking to some of them. This year the Democratic Party has taken the party out of the Democratic National convention. The pomp the crown the sign waving delegates the live music. Tussles on the Convention Floor dont push your take your hands up and even if youre very much me like youve got a back up bag here dan n. J. Akbar will have to imagine it all so this is my 1st one i dont know what will be missing i think the only thing that is missing is that if you make contact as a 1st time delegate to the d. N. C. In the year of the coronavirus that means he gets to go online akbar who is on the akron ohio board of education says making the convention completely virtual actually makes the event more democratic with a small d what this moment in 2020 is calling us to do is to not leave it one out and that means we have to do things differently and virtually and 1000000 ballots make allows the maximum number of individuals to participate in the democratic process. With the glad handing will be replaced by virtual high fives. Business and political events are being canceled across the u. S. Right now the democrats had planned on holding their convention it was consummate key midwestern swing state President Trump won 2016 with surprise victories in midwest swing states like wisconsin ohio and michigan the democrat. Read those states to win in 2020. Since bill clintons nomination in 1902 former dayton ohio mayor rhine mclin has attended every Democratic Convention rubbing elbows with big names like actor danny glover and talk show host Jerry Springer and generally putting the art in party and then i miss the energy of being in the room im going to miss the energy of seeing other people outside that im going to miss being in what you call the host city and im going to miss seeing the celebrities that come by but in the end the convention is about presenting a standard bearer for perhaps the most powerful post in the world even without the festivity in close contact and one thing that is so important about this election coming up is going to determine that you chair of the United States and not just for a day but for decades to come and that this is a turning point for america so this year as every 4 years the democrats quadrennial celebration will still be a weeklong showcase though now a purely virtual one to advertise their 2020 dream team John Hendren Al jazeera chicago. The World Health Organization is warning governments against stockpiling covert 1000. 00 vaccines and treatments if and when that develops referring to vaccine nationalism the World Health Organization chief said it would only make the pandemic worse the e. U. The u. K. Switzerland and the u. S. All striking deals with Companies Testing possible vaccines russia and china working on their own trials as new data mystics medicines and vaccines comes through the pipeline its critical that countries dont repeat the same mistakes we need to prevent bucks in nationalism. And for this reason w. 2 is working with governments and the private sector to was actually read the signs through the act accelerator and he shewed that new innovations that ability to everyone everywhere starting with those at highest risk. The World Health Organization is again raising the alarm about how badly the americas are being affected by the pandemic more than 400000 people are known to have died 64 percent of the global total nearly 11 and a half 1000000 infections have been reported most are in the United States and brazil john holeman joins us live here on the news from mexico city so john these figures these statistics across latin america continue to go in precisely the wrong direction. Yeah and its causing problems beyond just coronavirus here whereas in europe for example they seem to sort of nosedive after a certain point when authorities sort of got to grips with them in latin america its really been for some countries just a 6 month process like in mexico actually in which continually the authorities are said were about to go down were about to go down and it hasnt really happened and the regional head of the World Health Organization that she come out and said that thats caused quite a lot of mental anguish that they havent seen before to various people to lots of people in this region in latin america she also said that it definitely had an impact on Domestic Abuse in the region helplines in colombia in mexico in argentina. Been experiencing an increasing cause we were finding that just when this 1st began in april when we took 3 heads of cool centers and they said well its already gone up by 25 percent we also heard from peru just a couple of weeks ago that there were 900 women more than 900 women that have gone missing many of those 2 thirds of those miners children just girls proves had that problem before mexico has had a problem with Domestic Violence before this obviously and other countries in latin america are also but this really isnt helping the fact that women. Top or a kept inside with abusive partners at times what is it individual countries or leaders are not doing john if they think theyre getting close to be able to saying to be able to say were flattening the curve and then it doesnt flatten out whats whats the Silver Bullet that theyre not applying or theyre not shipping in. Well i think a lot of the criticism especially for here in mexico was a couple of things they tested at a very low level and i actually talked to the coronavirus sorry about that most of why are you doing that and he said well theres no evidence that high amounts of testing means that you actually know how far this is spread its too big for that so we decided instead to put that money into hospitals to try and provide for people to get you know another thing that hasnt happened in mexico didnt happen while the quarantine was still 100 percent in force is that it was really policed it was done a lot more softly in mexico and the coronavirus again told me that listen were a country which in the past weve had problems with suppressing the population so weve decided that we cant do that instead were just closing down cinemagoers Shopping Centers and were hoping that that means that people stay home now there was a lot of criticism that that didnt happen enough and thats why this this didnt nosedive it continued to happen at the same complaint about brazil where coronavirus really its been the epicenter for this region and the president diable so not oh has been against a quarantine all together pretty much ok john many thanks John Heilemann our correspondent there reporting live for the news hour from mexico city.
