The decision by the Supreme Court came after a day of deliberations held amidst the tightest of security in downtown phnom penh the main opposition c n n r p party is to be the result and one hundred eighteen of its senior officials are banned from taking part in politics for five years this decision had been expected by the c n r p it had effectively ceased to function as a party a number of its and ps are in exile or are in hiding or are fearful of arrest its leader cam sorcha was arrested two months ago for allegedly plotting to overthrow the government it is based on a recording of a meeting he had with supporters overseas where he spoke about replacing the government the Opposition Party says he was merely talking about change through the ballot box according to the ruling c. P. P. Party here and its long time Prime Minister hun sen it amounted to threatening insurrection with this move effectively removes the major obstacle that he was facing in next years crucial and elections he will still face opposition but it will be from a number of smaller parties that will likely not have time to war going to themselves effectively to unseat him sen has been in power now in cambodia for three decades he says hes determined to rule for another ten years and this decision today seems to pave the way for him to do that.

Solution of the Opposition Party than you can see certain political impact on the Court Decision we have two opposing views from the government and from the opposition the government perceive that that was a plot to proper down the government through.

Or the threat to the power status quo so its a quite controversial perspective here when we look at the court ruling. Lebanons Prime Minister saad hariri has accepted an offer from the french president emmanuel micro to visit paris the French Foreign minister in the saudi capital riyadh where he had announced his resignation that happened two weeks ago the lebanese president michel i tweeted today that he hopes the countrys political crisis is over. I reiterated frances concern with respect to lebanon stability independence and sovereignty from any foreign intervention all faiths and sex in lebanon need to be respected collective efforts must be made to restore things to normal after the resignation of Prime Minister saad hariri. Well also in the past few hours the Saudi Foreign minister has denied allegations that mr how do you agree is being held against his will of late and. The Prime Minister is living in saudi arabia under his own will hes resigned and with respect to his return to lebanon its in his hands he can leave when he wants well as my feet of ice has hezbollah is the root of the problems in lebanon there is a need to find ways to deal with them there are concrete steps in this regard so lets get more on this for years in a holder now from beirut. Many are calling it a face saving deal assad or how did he and his family their faith really was open to question for nearly two weeks since his shock resignation from the saudi capital many in lebanon including the president believe that he was forced to resign by the saudi authorities and that he and his family were being held hostage the president even using very Strong Language accusing saudi arabia of carrying out an act of aggression against lebanon sovereignty france a weighed in to mediated in this crisis the french president confirming that the how did he and his family will be traveling to paris soon and that he will be spending a few days in paris and sources close to the Prime Minister the resign Prime Minister in beirut say that he will be coming to lebanon without setting a date to submit his resignation in person now the lebanese president saying that he welcomes this and hes saying that the crisis is now over but it is not over because once had to be resigned there could be a period of prolonged political crisis here who is going to replace the Prime Minister you need a consensus candidate for political stability to be maintained in lebanon and clearly there is a pro saudi camp pro iran camp the resignation was seen as a saudi move against iran targeting the iranian proxy hezbollah and lebanon so the situation is still very tense there is still political differences on the ground but at least the fate of the Prime Minister is now clear and that within the next forty eight hours according to sources he could be in the french capital joining us live is coming to me a political analyst and founder of the center of american strategic studies in beirut what happens come or was not if that resignation that people have questioned if hariri goes to paris or if indeed he returns to be rude and that resignation stands what happens then. Well then the president would be free for to call for consultation and based on the consultation will find a consensus as a brian minister most likely mr how do you do you will be name again if he wished to be named and he will be invited to form the government but we have to remember he will be under a lot of pressure from the persian gulf mostly mostly the sudanese to maybe isolate or not have his what in part of the government which we if he decide to do that we will not have a government in lebanon because hezbollah is the main component of the lebanese political structure and no one can put. Aside from what the political is taking shape in lebanon and when the Saudi Foreign minister talks about hezbollah and concrete steps that was his phrase not mine when he talks about hezbollah and concrete steps in the same sentence what does that mean in real terms for you. Well obviously the foreign minister hes been declaring war against hezbollah for a very long time so thats part of the rhetoric the so direct im sure. Hezbollah be very much attention because that present that direct threat an eminent threat against lebanese stability is hezbollah accused a saudi arabia for inviting. Lebanon on behalf of this is this is a continuation of the threat lebanon would not come any threat from still get a b. Or any other country so i think hezbollah will take that under consideration i asked them that they will have a response but the president of the country he very strong message to the sudanese consider there is a hostile one against the sovereignty of lebanon we have to remember live on as a Democratic State a sovereign state. Election at the process where some other country do not and basically hezbollah got elected the only way you can get them out of politics by voting against them and thats not going to happen anytime soon but surely there are serious questions here to be addressed because its the domino effect of hezbollah what they do and who they are connected to and its also partly can i suggest to you about iranian ambition to create an arc of influence from north to south and thats something thats a red line for the saudis and also for the israelis. That is very true but we have to remember that israeli are very much involved against a Sister Company in yemen and they actually they blockade the sanction against against another start country they involved in the war in syria and they are very very much more involved in the war in iraq so theyre not really innocent bystanders by all means but in the end lebanon have to look for its interest with then who can support. Grandstand ok let me interrupt you there because were not actually having a conversation about what israel is or is not allegedly doing across the region yes of course israel has done stuff in syria but it says its official line is we are simply reacting to whats going on near our border area can you just address my central question about ambitions displayed and well documented on the part of the iranian leadership when it comes to creating this arc of influence i think. The iranian have influence in lebanon thats very obvious they actually supported hezbollah they supported them during during the invasion of and created hezbollah but in the end hezbollah is the lebanese and it will remain eleven years and that the and every and that. Maintain their relationship and i dont think thats going to change anytime soon ok we have to leave it there in beirut many thanks.
