In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day with the bombs that haunt lebannon 2 weeks ago the lebanese capital beirut was rocked by a massive explosion of fertilizers which were improperly stored in the citys poor more than 150 people died 300000 were made homeless we now know that the blast could have been prevented had the authorities heated ward as people in beirut trying to put their lives back together another blast from the past in 2005 a car bomb detonated next to the convoy of former lebanese Prime Minister rafik hariri the assassination changed politics forever in lebanon where today a special tribunal at the hague convicted a hezbollah militant for the attack and yet 15 years later after International Investigations we still cannot say with certainty who ordered hariri killing in a moment ill ask what todays verdict means for the lebanese people is this justice delayed justice delivered how much does the verdict matter anyway heres our 1st report. A suicide truck bomb blasts ripped through bay ridge some valentines day 2005 an explosion so powerful it was heard and felt across the city. 22 people lost their lives that day including the targets of the attack. Lebanons former Prime Minister rafiq hariri it was an assassination that transformed levanon removing an influential sunni muslim leader and allowing shiite forces led by the militant group hizbollah to come to dominate lebanese political life now over 15 years later a guilty verdict in connection with the killings Trial Chamber therefore finds mr i guilty beyond reasonable doubt as a copa traitor of the intentional homicide of this terrific career the same evidence also establishes beyond reasonable doubt his knowledge and his intention to commit the intentional homicide of 21 other people the ruling was handed down by a un backed tribunals in the netherlands set up to try those suspected of involvement in the 2005 attack. The judges found there was enough evidence to show. Helped carry out the bombing he has never been arrested and was tried in absentia 3 other defendants were acquitted. Among those present to hear the verdict rafik hariri son sat hariri. Your all today because of the special tribunal for lebanon for the 1st time in the history of political assassinations that lebanon has witnessed the lebanese find the truth and for the 1st time mother to try to you know deliver true justice. He. Starts hariri whos also a politician serving as lebanese Prime Minister until earlier this year said the judges supported his view that his father was assassinated for his opposition to syrian interference in lebanon on. The role of hezbollah remains murky though the tribe you know found i asked was affiliated with the group it said there was no evidence the hezbollah leadership ordered rifi career is murder. And tonight here at the big table with me is my colleague the w. s very own the bitter he she is the lead anchor on v ws Arabic Service and you are from lebanon we want to remind our viewers that its good to see you again thank you not one of the people in beirut tonight what are the thinking in saying about this verdict basically the 3 when i came out with a verdict that is lets start with that that if that was a case like this fighting for it how did his family and thats what the ex Prime Minister sadly had a dimension today but for many lebanese it was a bit disappointing because many questions there were left without answers we dont know to now even after this verdict who planned that top planned this crime this assassination who organized that who gave the order and who pulled the trigger after like 13 years of investigation and the National Investigation more than 700000000. 00 were spent on this. On this process you know as exactly as as a cause and at the end of the day one person is guilty and this person we dont know if hes going to serve any time soon because we dont know if hes still alive or if he that if he is that we dont know if he is running somewhere or he is hiding somewhere so many questions left without answers and it feels also like the reaction coming out of lebanon is somewhat muted and you and i were talking earlier that that has all to do with the blasts that have been 2 weeks ago today in the poor that changed everything didnt face on my sources basically there are many communication is going going on now and an agreement is going on now between tata heavy and his people his allies and also hezbollah with the head of the parliament who is also in a life of his will and order to calm the things down in the streets and and also one thing is very important to mr brant that now after what happened after that verdict today many bodies they were asking if this is happened after 13 years of interNational Investigation why we are asking about. Now that interNational Investigation for beirut ports blast if that is out is going to be one person who is guilty we dont know if hes going out serve any time soon so no lets do it by ourselves thank you so much were not going to pay a 700000000. 00 i mean theres a bit theres a very good and a half of it im going to the special tribunal today convicted one man a hezbollah militant but they said at the same time the other 3 who were acquitted had no connections to the leadership of hezbollah so youve got a hizbollah militant convicted the others are not connected to hezbollah that you know does that does that make a big difference though at this stage not truly maybe the only the only difference that that makes at this stage to answer a question of brant is maybe one positivity that i can see that i can see it is at least now we have one name and one face we can relate that to this crime before this is the 1st time everybody has a fascination his study whatever it was always in the study and i guess its the 1st time now we have a member and hezbollah is publicly like responsible for an act of terrorism thats many civilians there would have been killed and also one hiking politicians this is the only positivity that that i can see but is it enough definitely not and if they at this investigation for 13 years and this all this cost does that the lebanese faith and also the International Community in order to get this resolved is that enough for the lebanese i dont think so and this is what theyre saying in the street and also in the political scene do you believe that the man who was convicted today do you believe that deeds the only person who should be convicted. Of course not of course not i mean the crime was huge thats a summation it was a huge that it was based on that investigation i mean at the 1st investigator so came to live on the 1st think when they saw the scene 1st they said there are many clues theyve been gone its right that someone someone high that we dont know who and 30 news they didnt know we should always invite cell phone conversations exactly and also i mean he is one of his a 2 wood and the whole thing is a huge its big but who planted how they landed who are the players how many players is there on the one prayer or to many also its one also its including the questions that they we dont have an answer to what a built the role of hezbollah in lebanon 2 weeks ago when the blast happened in the port we talked about hezbollah there being in the government and the authorities the port authorities not doing their job in this accident could have been prevented now were talking about a man convicted he was a hezbollah militant i mean regardless of leadership or milledge that hezbollah has mud on its face well thats what you and me and maybe somebody is that think about it and the International Community but not hezbollah because since day one hizbullah said that he that a festival has on the settlers said i have nothing to do with this 3 and im i have nothing to do with that results and we dont we dont agree that what with any it is not its going to give us and its the act of and related to our enemies his mentioning the United States and israel and basically to today there is no answer at all to any comments about through this moment about what happened. And the Tribunal Court about the decision they didnt say anything about only think that said im not going to give you talked weve got about 45 seconds youre talking every day to the people in lebanon in beirut how are people doing right now i mean i know that aid has come in on the ship. From france i mean how are they now 2 weeks after the blast the same way as we left them 2 weeks ago Nothing Happened i mean the International Aid thats coming through now but on definitely but its not enough that devastation is very dark and also the economical situation is really bad and yesterday and the Health Minister announced that it got us a few because of quota i mean health wise and were going to close the country for 2 weeks because of. As still Nothing Happened economically politically and even donated. To the society itself Nothing Happened theres a long way to go to do these very own to be with arab or the ms always its good to have you here its good to get your valuable insights thank you thank you for having event. Can the german chancellor Angela Merkel help to bring bella ruse back from the brink today merkel urged the government in minsk to avoid violence and to start a National Dialogue with the political opposition she made the comments in a phone call with russian president Vladimir Putin earlier in the day no western leaders consider uncle americal to be the putin whisperer if you will the leader who understands putins ideas of power politics best. Tomorrow the European Council will hold a Video Conference about a reverse i spoke with russian president putin today i once again make here that there must be freedom of expression the freedom to protest the prisoners must be released under house to be a National Dialogue that enables the situation to be resolved peacefully and valeries who will just doesnt stop further tomorrow. Is a german chancellor Angela Merkel speaking there now this comes as the standoff between the rusian president Alexander Lukashenko and antigovernment protesters in turns a tense day the one time ruler has been resisting calls to step aside but angry citizens are showing that they are not backing down. There the pressure on president Alexander Lukashenko is growing and the resistance is growing bolder. This video shows a Heated Exchange with striking workers at a truck to factory young men. Of. The dont worry i will not beat you up it is not in my interest but if somebody provokes something here we will sort it out the hard way put the phone down. Tempers and batteries are running high on both sides and europes in battle strong man is facing opposition he isnt in. A nationwide strike was attended by thousands some of whom booed and heckled the president. At one event on monday Lukas Shankar told the worker that new elections were possible but only after the countrys had a referendum on a new constitution. His critics say its a bit to buy time. More than a week after the controversial election and she government protests show no sign of letting up a good thing in the eyes of the countrys exiled Opposition Leader he conveyed words of encouragement from her jailed husband in a new video message while most of my husbands are gates asks me to convey his words to you or he and other Political Prisoners are in jail. But he asks you to move forward. Not just sit back but you do everything to live in this country for life. The people who are filling the streets also have the support of many in the International Community. Tolerating dissent may have to become part of Alexander Lukashenko this new reality. Where the w. C. Political editor caught up with the german blunders tog president voss gong choice to day and she asked him how germany and europe should deal with the crisis in. President taipei a new leaders are meeting for a special summit on belarus what does europe have to do at this very moment. Europe must signal clearly that it is going to use everything at its disposal to push for a human rights democracy and nonbiological. To say europe doesnt intend the shift of power spears for sheeple that it simply wants to show we have a responsibility towards our neighbors and that is something europe and also now has to clearly demonstrate or at least some of us are playing do you mean sanctions so that go beyond that. I believe the most important thing is to do all we can and that is something those responsible can decide better than i can increase the pressure so that there is a nonviolent outcome. Because we can all sense that things can no longer continue as they are in belarus now. When a dictator has come to the end of the road its best to find a way forward without further violence based him and vague or near. What does europe have to bear in mind when dealing with us and now often is found that within its fear of influence. As i say it is we need to avoid the misunderstanding that we want to change fears of influence if we stand up for human rights and nonviolence and democracy that is not directed against anyone and certainly not against russia. But today marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment to the constitution of the United States the 19th amendment gave women the right to vote at least the women who were not being excluded from voting by jim crow laws in the u. S. Southern states for example and the passage of the 19th amendment marks the culmination of decades back to visit by women white and black who refused to accept the status quo in a world where only men were allowed to rule in politics a carefree little girl plays beside that declaration of sentiments engraved in stone in seneca falls a small town in new york state where history was written it was here at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1048. 00 that this document was signed a manifesto demanding Political Economic and moral equality the history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her the declaration was drafted by Elizabeth Cady stanton also known as an antislavery campaigner but the struggle for womens Voting Rights was long it was only in 1919 after the us enter world war one that the Suffragette Movement really took off helped in part by women taking on important work traditionally done by men while they were far away at war. 72 years after the Seneca Falls Convention on august 18th 1020. 00 the 19th amendment to the u. S. Constitution was ratified granting women the right to vote but for decades this only applied to white women it wasnt until the 965 Civil Rights Act that Racial Discrimination was prohibited in voting to this day women and especially women of color are significantly under represented in u. S. Politics on the 100 senate verse 3 of womens Voting Rights the democrats face president ial candidate Camila Harris wants to do better when i think about obviously the centennial and the importance of acknowledging the accomplishment but also how recent it is and how much we still have to do to achieve equity when you look at issues like pay equity something that joe biden talks about and were going to deal with in our ministration. Theres a lot to be to celebrate in terms of but also it should motivate us to also be clear eyed about what yet has to be done in the Unfinished Business former president ial candidate Hillary Clinton knows firsthand how hard it is for women in american politics despite all the progress. I still hope especially with the ticket that the coverage of women running for president or Vice President will be less sexist less sensationalist less trivializing i told them that they would just have to you know be ready for that and be able to ride through it. Even though its been 100 years since women in the u. S. Gained the right to vote there is still a lot of work to be done to fully achieve womens equality. A lot of work to be done to talk about that i want to bring in Christine Clarke shes president and executive director of the National Lawyers committee for civil rights under law thats one of the most important civil rights organizations in the u. S. Advocating for voters rights chris and its good to have you on the day that were talking about 100 years since the u. S. Introduced womens suffrage and i have to ask this question in the year 2020 is this years election going to be free and fair. You bet and for sure 100 years since the 19th amendment which gave the franchise to women but point out that africanamerican black women actually experience boaters oppression and disenfranchisement for decades the on that. Battle for access to the ballot in our country has been brought and winds characterized by efforts to deny black people and people of color access to the 3 years and sadly in 2020 we continue to see efforts that are targeted at black people and people of color these are efforts to purge people from the registration rolls efforts to shut down whole insights in communities where there is significant numbers of black people and people of color living efforts to make it harder for people to merely register people to about so this struggle for full access to the franchise for all americans is one that continues to persist to this very day you know because you know youre talking about things are happening right now particularly with the u. S. Postal service are you encouraged by it reports that were receiving that claim the u. S. Postmaster general will suspend all policy changes that would have calls delays to mildew mail delayed delivery read is that a thats a positive change isnt it. What small steps forward but postmaster general for the last 2 months is undertaken devastating actions that have resulted in massive delays in mail all across the country so todays announcement is you know nearly words on paper the hard work lies ahead old postmaster general is enjoying accounts of all we need for him to clean up the damage that has been done we need him to return scanning machines used to sort now we need them to put that the mailboxes that were ripped out of streets we need for him to do we store overtime for our whole social worker employees you know hes got to address the damage has been done and bring the Postal Service that status quo this is a historic election where endemic people are having to go to hell if im president id numbers so much work lives ahead to make sure that we are a nation that will be ready yeah thats a very important also to note is that theres very little indicators of any type of voter fraud when the Postal Service is involved in the United States let me ask you about women having the right to vote in the u. S. For a century now that is true but the u. S. Still has not voted to put a woman in the white house as president how do you explain that. Yeah there is a Glass Ceiling on opportunity for women especially for black women and women of color and even in every sector we see it in Corporate America we see it in terms of people who are leading our Higher Ed Institutions and we see it and all that and Political Office and. Is that represent the highest in our nation so weve got work to do to make sure that we are and nation governed by people who were flat the growing racial diversity of our country and weve got work to do in terms of acknowledging the Voter Suppression and im going to remain in that we continue along the lines of race and gender in our country to execute weve got about a minute here you know the Vice President ial running mate joe biden couple of years she could very well be if they win this year and she could very well be in 2024 president s again that she can be the 1st u. S. Female president of color. Were worth 4 years away from that possibly is that the progress that youre going to see. Stuart well meant for there to be a black woman on a president ial ballot for 1st for the 1st time in our nations history as a Vice President prize president ial candidate marks a turning point in our democracy but we also know that there are intense efforts underway to deny people of color access to the ballot box and so weve got to continue fighting. And ms harris is candidacy is a source of hope and inspiration for a left leaning and black girls across our country who never imagined that they would see someone who looks like them in this position Christine Clark unfortunately our time is up we appreciate your time in your insights tonight thank you.
