00:00OK, now of course in Lebanon there's a huge sense of mistrust between the people and the
00:06political class, and I think it goes back some way now.
00:11Do you think this step that's been taken today, the filling of that vacancy after two years,
00:17goes some way towards restoring that trust?
00:20Yes, definitely.
00:21It's a step in the right direction.
00:23Let's be realistic.
00:24This is obviously not the end of the road.
00:27This is not, how can I say, a huge reform in itself or a huge step forward, but it's
00:34at least, let's say, that it sets the beginning of the way, it opens the possibility of rebuilding
00:43and reforming our country.
00:45And I think that this in itself is a very, very, very important milestone.
00:50So this is why it's positive.
