Lebanon: new leadership expected

Newsday

Available for over a year

The previous Lebanese government resigned after the devastating blast in the port of Beirut earlier this month killed nearly 200 hundred people. We take a look at the likely candidate for PM and the work ahead. The Sudanese authorities started peace talks with rebel movements from Darfur, Blue Nile, the Nuba Mountains of South Kordofan and other areas almost a year ago and today a comprehensive peace agreement is due to be signed, we get the reaction of a Sudanese filmmaker. And the great-grandson of a Holocaust survivor tells us about the moment his 96-year old great-grandmother saw the remarkable footage found of her being liberated from Buchenwald concentration camp.
