英文摘要 | The Evening: French Resurgence, Hezbollah Implicated, Woodstock and MoreAugust 18, 2020 French ResurgenceFaced with a recent resurgence of coronavirus cases, officials in France have made mask-wearing mandatory in business spaces across the country, pleading with people not to let down their guard and jeopardize the hard-won gains made against the virus during a two-month lockdown this spring, as the NYT reports. Tribunal Implicates HezbollahA special tribunal established to deliver justice in the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq al-Hariri rendered an inconclusive verdict today that left unanswered the key questions raised by one of the most tumultuous events in Lebanon's recent history. The panel of judges delivering the verdict implicated members of Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement in the assassination but failed to clearly establish who was ultimately responsible for the massive suicide bombing that killed Harir, along with 21 other people on Beirut’s seafront corniche, triggering years of political upheaval, as the Washington Post reports.
