To belarus, the disputed president , alexander lu kashenka, rafik hariri chose his words has threatened to take measures against anyone who joins a new carefully when i asked council formed by the opposition. Them who ran lebanon. This is the announcement assuring that the security of the formation of the council it says its goal is to organise and stability, but in political the transfer of power using lawful means. Business, that is a course it was set up by the main opposition correction between syria and the lebanese. Candidate in the election, svetla na ti kha novs kaya. Shes had to flee the country well hear a bit more from her later. This is what mr lukashenka told the state owned news agency in respons. They have influence. Thats beyond any doubt. And. The most powerfulforce in lebanon has denied the accusation that its the council has denied its been carried out the assassination. Perhaps in the orders attempting to seize power. Of its allies syria and iran. Its leader refused to allow meanwhile, in this televised Cabinet Meeting mr lukashenka said hes deployed the military the arrest of the four at the countrys western borders indicted his brother men adding the units are on full alert. Who otherwise would be in court hes previously accused to hear the verdict. Nato of deploying tanks at the border with belarus, a claim the organisation has denied. The judge convicted Salim Jamil Ayyash of a terrorist act, its now nine days since assassination and the murders mr lukashenka claimed victory in the president ial election, of 21 other victims. And protests continue. He was tried in absentia alongside here you can see protesters three other hezbollah members. All their whereabouts are unknown.

The 9th election, prompting ms tik however prosecutors described him as overall controller of the operation. Prompting ms tikhanovskaya to run for president. Heres the message the judge said the assassination she released earlier. Was undoubtedly a political act, but he came to this conclusion. The Trial Chambers of the view that translation one person controls everything. One man escape a country in fear syria and his brother may have had for 26 years and one person motives to eliminate mr rafik hariri is system in the opportunity from all bela russians. And some of the satellites. But there was no evidence my husband asked me to bring that the his brother leadership had you this message, he end any involvement in rafik hariris murder and no direct evidence and other the Political Prisoners of syrian involvement in it. Are injail, but he asks you to keep moving forward. Do not sit back, but do everything you can to make the best of our country. Author and non resident scholar meanwhile, the momentum continues at the Carnegie Endowment think tank, kim ghattas was quick to point to build with a general strike today postal workers are reported out, the verdict did not exonerate to have joined the action. And so have performers at hezbollah leadership. It indicted key operative, the Belarussian National theatre determined another senior, now dead, you can see them here holding was involved in plot. Up their resignation letters tribunal said there was no in front of the culture minister. Evidence to link more Senior Leadership but doesn t mean they heckled him, shouting shame there is evidence of innocence. And gave him a day to reinstate the theatres director the prosecutions case was centred who was fired for expressing support around mobile phone records which they said showed the suspects for the protests. Were tracking mr hariri there also seems to be some dissent before his assassination. Building within the political class. However the evidence bela russ ambassador to slovakia was entirely circumstantial says hes handed in his resignation. Which was difficult to prove heres what he told as Anna Holligan explains. The bbcs today programme. The way this was carried out i do not see this on was a sophisticated, it was done in a way that kept the geopolitical basis, the disparate parts separate from each other. These protests are not so they could not necessarily have against the east and they known about the plan. Are not against the west. So, for example, the purchase these workers and all belarussian of this truck that was loaded with explosives that was bought people, the demand of the authority and detonated by the suicide bomber on valentines day 2005, to hold their dignity the recruitment of a 22 year old man and demand fair elections. In a mask to appear in this diversion video that was shared but theres uncertainty by the assessments allegedly about what will happen next and part of that uncertainty lies to the east in moscow. On the day of his killing. The german chancellor Angela Merkel spoke with the russian president Vladimir Putin today all of these parts put together in the judges said actually, heres what the kremlin had to say afterwards. The only person who was proved beyond reasonable doubt was involved due to links between his personal mobile phone and a network of mobile phones that were involved. His own phone, and the phone part remember, mr putin spoke with belarus president Alexander Lukashenka over the weekend, of this network was him. And offered assistance. Heres mason clark from the us think tank, institute the trial was held at a special un backed court in light sen dum for the study of war. A small town outside the hague. Some of the victims families the protests in belarus are not were there to hear the verdict. You may recognise saad hariri necessarily anti russia sunday they rafiks son there. Are completely focused on negative, corruption from the cutie states, he was Prime Minister himself for six years. And he spoke afterwards. Stomach the abuses of the Security Forces for the first time, and that sort of thing. I can say in lebanon, thats a definite risk that the kremlin runs that in the political assassination if he interferes in belarus to prop up lukashenka, it will make of the former Prime Minister the protest seem anti kremlin. Or the president , we had like many it is actually maintaining its higher court ratings of Vladimir Putin in president s and many former the last few years. Prime ministers were killed either high high approval ratings. However, we still assess that the kremlin has in office or outside office enough of a key interest in belarus and we never had any. That there is a risk that putin will truth of what happened. I think today. Not allow an of lukashenko or i mean everybodys expectation potential of losing belarus to a was much higher than what came out. But i believe that the tribunal lesser opponent uncontested. Came out with a result that is satisfying. Well these are some of the latest pictures from belarus. This is Independence Square we accept it. In minsk in the few hours. As well as saying he was satisfied, saad hariri also hit the National White and red flag used out at hezbollah by the opposition. Saying they must assume similar rallies are reportedly responsibility of his fathers killing. The opposition of president , he said it was clear lu kashenko is taking that the network responsible see. L. S eternity, is from its ranks. And he added we will not rest until the opposition of president , lu kashenko is taking the punishment is carried out. I spoke to one of the workers whos so two possibly factory went on strike, and he said many of his colleagues conflicting messages. Are afraid to join the Movement Paul adams is in beirut because they are concerned and helps put that that they could lose theirjobs, into context for us. Their salaries, and therefore, it is not clear how long the important thing to realise will this movement last. Is that the organisation the opposition desperately needs that was accused of involvement support of these workers in the death of rafik hariri 15 who could tip the balance of power years ago, even if one member in this country. Time now for our global of that organisation has not been coronavirus update. The World Health Organization chief found guilty, his brother has gone has sent a letter to all member from being notjust a military states asking them to join force in the country, multilateral vaccine efforts. But to the dominant have a listen. Political force too. You cannot rule or do anything in this country economical politically without the cooperation of his brother. Sharing finite supply stratigically that means that if you are someone globally is actually in each countrys national interest. Who has served two terms no one is safe until everyone as Prime Minister and have another is safe, as new diagnostics, shot in the future, frankly, medicines and viruses come youre going to have to make another through the pipeline. Deal with his brother in the future. It is critical that countries dont for organisation that you probably repeat the same mistakes. Believe in your heart of hearts we need to prevent was involved in the death of your father. Thats a pretty extra in a situation for any politician to be vaccine nationalism. In but it is a measure but already countries are acting of what you described individually to secure vaccines as the complexity and sometimes for their own citizens. The byzantine nature of lebanese politics. It is a long time ago since rafiq hariri was killed, for example the Australian Government said today its signed a deal with the company astrazeneca, who are developing a vaccine with Oxford University in the uk. Shebleemarl art is a lebanese the Prime Minister said. International lawyer. Hes called the verdict a let down injustice. Heres why. It is clear that the presence the uk itself has also placed early of syria had very strong motive orders for this vaccine, because he had refused to submit along with five others. To the syrian diplomats. In this tribunal to 15 years hasnt found a few hours to go question the person who was murdering that means it has a potential stockpile of 340 million doses. The race to secure a vaccine so strong, is a dereliction of duty. For a single country was evident as far back as march, 15 years since rafik hariris death when the german paper dee velt and lebanon is very much reported that the Trump Administration had offered a german a country in crisis, medical Company Large sums of money for exclusive access on many fronts. To a covid 19 vaccine. To remind us, heres Angela Merkel later confirmed her government had seen off the attempt early on. Paul adams in beirut. You can find a list of all vaccines currently in development on the whos website. 138 of these are in the early here in beruit, almost literally two stages of development. Weeks ago to the minute, there are 29 vaccines which continues to overshadow in clinical trials, thats everything here, plus the fact when they are tested on humans. That we are about to go into another coronavirus lockdown in the next six are in phase three trials couple of days, plus the fact that late last year, thats widespread testing this country has been spiralling on large numbers of people into an appalling economic crisis, in different regions. Combined with political paralysis. And today we heard that one of these might be ready before the events that happenjust over 15 the end of the year. Heres the bbcs kerry allen. Years ago do seem to most people a little bit remote. Sinopharm has said that it is expected by the end of the year to have a vaccine for covid 19 on the market and ready to go. Lets turn to mali now, the chief of sinopharm has said where in the last hour, that this vaccine is currently undergoing phase three trials weve received reports that president Ibrahim Boubacar keita has in the uae and these been arrested by soldiers are clinical trials, ones that in what appears to be are being carried on humans. Expected the vaccine an attempted coup. Will be very safe. So much in fact that he himself has actually been injected with doses of the vaccine and said he has the leaders of the protest movement which has been out on the streets in experienced no side effects. The day prior to this said it was it is a lot of discussion in china about how affordable the vaccine is going to be, not a military coup, but a popular insurrection, saying the president because he has said its did not want to listen to his going to be under 1000 yuan, people. So hundred 44 us dollars, or £110. The news has come from a government thats not as expensive for it was her audience, spokesperson who presumably wont be in beina be inajob be in a job for much longer, but says that the president and the western audience and make Prime Minister of that country were but it may not be as affordable both arrested by the military. A to a lot of people in small Communities Number of arrests of other senior officials have gone on today. It thats it. This is 0utside source. Started out as what looked like a bye bye. Mutiny. Two of the military barracks with soldiers shooting and some talk of disputes over pay. It then became hello once again. Pretty clear that this was something more serious. It now looks as though thankfully, it did not look like this all day long this is a coup that is in full in the area of telford. Swing, which, of course is being widely condemned by the International Community including the african union, but it comes as but ray certainly caught a pretty intense downpour there, one of many there to be had at the african union, but it comes as ata the african union, but it comes as at a time when they have been in across the southern half of the british isles. A political chaos situation for many so too up into the north months now after disputed elections, western corner of scotland, in between that curl of cloud, allegations of corruption and above it produced a wet start of two all, a jihadist rebellion and you tuesday across the northwest know violence that have gotten much, of england, disolving into showers and continuing so to do much worse over the last few months, into the small hours of wednesday and it seems the soldiers are before finally dying away as a ridge of High Pressure topples agreeing now with the huge number of across the british isles, protesters who have been saying, we really do need a change at the top settles things down on a warm night to sort out the insecurity. And if in all parts, but its very obvious that the end of the night brings more clouds and wind and rain this is happening, as you just in to the southwestern quarter speued this is happening, as you just spelled it out there, what does this of both england and wales. Mean, what happens next . Well, so, wednesday morning, thats the big problem for molly, i urge you to get out there and do things pretty quickly because a very similar thing because you will see, happened back in 2012, the army was there really is no escape, this is not showers, angry or some members of the army this is an area of significant rain, we re angry or some members of the army were angry that the government had gradually driving its way ever mishandled a rebellion by touareg. Further north that by and around mali, they were taking over parts tea time most areas of england and wales, of the north of the country then parts of Northern Ireland will have ousted that then president that led seen that rain. The best of the sunshine coming in scotland and staying to jihadists ousted that then president that led tojihadists taking ousted that then president that led to jihadists taking over the ousted that then president that led rather murky at times. Tojihadists taking over the north of the company and those same jihadists causing havoc across the region of west africa now. Its a that sets the tenor of the next huge task, whoever is going to take few days torts we can. On the leadership if the president is completely ousted faces an low pressure dominating and seemingly unusually windy towards the end of the week enormous challenge, partly because and there will be spells of the economic problems that mali of rain at times. Having said all of that, it will not faces, but mainly because of this be a wash out on thursday, growing insecurity. Although there as one or of rain makes its way through the Northern Isles are celebrations now on the streets, it then becomes a glorious summer day of rain makes its way through the Northern Isles many people will be wary and will and becomes a glorious summer stayed rememberjust how warm one too and to receive many people will be wary and will remember just how bad many people will be wary and will rememberjust how bad things got after the last coup, a coup that led the arrival of more wet and windy weather towards parts of your day, to the intervention of the french it keeps it out west and that it rained quite gusty, and bringing in that gust military to push the jihadists out so of the towns in the north but they and bringing in that gust to on friday where it gets windier so to on friday where it gets even windier if you are close to the centre of the low pressure there are still very very strong, carrying across the northwestern corner of out attacks in burkina faso and scotland, really windy conditions widely across the but a child, but certainly so in the hearts of that mali, sometimes threatening to the low centre. So, even in the major beyond those countries as well, so towns and cities, we are pushing very very worrying times for mali.
