Premier had announced he was quitting during trip to  Riyadh
Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri  suspended  his  resignation after the country’s president called for talks on how and why  he  ended up in Saudi Arabia this month and quit suddenly.
 Hariri  said  he  accepted a request from President Michel Aoun to delay his departure  temporarily defusing a crisis that’s drawn in regional and global powers and rattled investors. The premier  who had said  he  feared for  his  life in Lebanon  has denied  he  was pressured by the Saudis to step down.  He  returned to Beirut late on Tuesday.

Lebanese bonds rallied after  Hariri ’s speech  with yields on the nation’s Eurobonds due in October 2022 plummeting 42 basis points to 7.18 percent  according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
 Hariri   a long-time ally of Saudi Arabia  announced he was quitting on an unexpected trip to Riyadh on Nov. 4  accusing Iran and the Hezbollah militant group it backs of destabilizing his country and threatening his safety. He returned after a near-three-week absence that raised concern Lebanon would again be caught in a showdown between the Middle East’s two chief rivals for influence.
 Hariri  supporters gathered at  his  home in downtown Beirut in a show of loyalty to the prime minister. They waved blue flags  the color of his Future Movement  and raised placards that said: “We’re all with you” and “You are our Lebanon.” The crowd chanted “Saad  Saad” when he appeared at a window.
“This is an unforgettable moment ”  Hariri  told them. “We are staying together to be the first line of defense for Lebanon.”  He  then went down to walk among  his  supporters  shake hands and take selfies.
Earlier on Wednesday   Hariri  joined Aoun and other top leaders to mark Lebanon’s 74th Independence Day.

Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller broke his own record this week for guilty pleas. On Tuesday  Dutch attorney Alex van der Zwaan appeared in federal court and admitted he had lied to investigators about his contacts with  Donald Trump's former campaign vice chairman  Rick Gates .
On Friday   Gates himself  appeared before a federal judge and confirmed that  he  is changing  his  plea to guilty.  He  had been fighting the case brought against  him  and the former Trump campaign chairman  Paul Manafort  which alleged they laundered millions of dollars and broke other laws related to their work for clients in Ukraine.
 Gates  and Manafort have not been charged with conspiracy to defraud the U.S. by "impairing  obstructing and defeating the lawful functions of the government through fraud and deceit for the purpose of interfering with the U.S. political and electoral processes." That was the charge Mueller leveled at 13 Russians and three Russian companies he says did interfere with the election.
Or the special counsel's office could be laying down one brick in a larger structure. At the very least   Gates'  future testimony against  his  longtime business partner raises the likelihood that Manafort could be convicted of some or all of the charges  he  continues fighting.
Manafort and his lawyers know this. So one of Mueller's strategies in getting  Gates  to turn state's evidence might be to persuade Manafort to do the same and tell what he knows about other people in the Trump campaign orbit.
Or evidence from  Gates  might be what the special counsel's office needs to build a case against Manafort for conspiring in the 2016 Russian interference effort. Or  after years of working with Manafort   Gates  might have other evidence that would permit Mueller to bring new charges against Manafort.
Mueller announced a new indictment in Manafort's case on Friday evening. After  Gates  appeared in federal court Friday to enter his plea  Manafort continued to maintain his innocence and said he remained committed "to defend myself against the untrue piled up charges contained in the indictments against me."

Getting ready to make a major speech to the National Assembly here in South Korea  then will be headed to China where I very much look forward to meeting with President Xi who is just off his great political victory. â Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 8  2017
Looking forward to a full day of meetings with President Xi and our delegations tomorrow. THANK YOU for the beautiful welcome China! @FLOTUS Melania and I will never forget it! pic.twitter.com/sQoUWIGAiQ â  Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 8  2017
On  the former  Trump  appears to have laid down  his  cards. The hard-line speech  he  delivered before the South Korean National Assembly on Wednesday poured scorn on Pyongyang. âNorth Korea is a country ruled as a cult â  he  said. âAt the center of this military cult is a deranged belief in the leaderâs destiny to rule as parent-protector over a conquered Korean Peninsula and an enslaved Korean people.â
Later in the speech   Trump  gave North Korea a sharp warning: âDo not underestimate us â  he  said. âAnd do not try us.â
It's not just a matter of sending tough messages to the North Koreans â who quickly dismissed  Trump 's remarks as the ravings of a âmad dog.â  Trump  and hawkish figures within  his  camp see China as both the problem and the solution to addressing North Korea and have long insisted that Beijing do more to squeeze its otherwise-isolated neighbor.
âTo those nations that choose to ignore this threat or worse still  to enable it  the weight of this crisis is on your conscience â  Trump  said in Seoul.
But no matter how hard  Trump  will try  it's emphatically clear that the Chinese don't see eye-to-eye with the Americans. Although they have no affection for North Korean despot Kim Jong Un  they fear both the chaos that the collapse of Kim's regime could create as well as the prospect of a unified  pro-American Korea on its doorstep. While they are increasing economic pressure on Pyongyang  they are unlikely to cut off the spigot to any extent that would provoke genuine instability. Instead  China advocates a diplomatic track that could lead to negotiations  although potentially with conditions to which neither the United States nor its regional allies may be inclined to agree.
âThere are big differences in the way of thinking between the United States and China on North Korea â Yang Xiyu  a former Chinese Foreign Ministry negotiator on North Korea  said to the New York Times. â Trump  thinks of North Korea too simplistically â that if China cuts off the oil  the nuclear issue will be solved.â
On trade  China will give  Trump  the useful headlines  he  seeks. The White House is expected to announce lucrative deals between U.S. and Chinese companies that could be worth as much as $250 billion  according to Bloomberg News. But it's not expected to win to any real Chinese concession on the larger structural concerns surrounding the trade imbalance between the countries.
âEven if Xi and  Trump  sign import and investment agreements  as anticipated  Trumpâs demands will do little to either reduce the trade deficit or restore American jobs (which have largely been lost to automation  not to China) " Mira Rapp-Hopper wrote in Foreign Affairs.
