BBC: Lebanese PM Saad Hariri returns to Beirut
Lebanese PM Saad Hariri has arrived back in Beirut for the first time since announcing his resignation in Saudi Arabia more than two weeks ago.
TV pictures from Beirut international airport showed Mr Hariri being greeted by members of the security forces as he disembarked from his plane.
Mr Hariri caused a political crisis when he quit during a visit to Riyadh.
He denied speculation that Saudi Arabia had forced him to quit as part of a regional power struggle with Iran.
Lebanese President Michel Aoun has refused to accept his resignation until he returns to present it in person.
On Saturday, Mr Hariri flew to Paris where he met French President Emmanuel Macron, who has been trying to broker a way out of the stalemate.

His Ogir Companies are bankrupt, but owed some $8 billion by the Saudi Government, that they arn't paying, while Oger has thousands of laid off workers, unpaid, and trapped in Saudi Arabia.
( you need a Company issued visa to work in Saudi Arabia, and another one to leave. With Oger bankrupt, there's nobody to apply for the leave visa's or money to pay for them).
His wife and kids remain in Saudi Arabia, and rumour's are, what's left of his fortune is being stripped away by the Saudi's.
The Saudi's bankrolled his Freedom Party, and while they might continue to fund it via his brother, the Freedom Party was never able to even come close to achieving Saudi goals in Lebanon.
Aoun hold's that technically, he's not resigned, but his Saudi proclamation isn't something he can walk back.
Aoun and Hezboallah get to appoint the next PM, who will probably be a pro-Hezboallah Sunni.
Dead man walking, probably not, just irrelevant now.
The Syrians assassinated his father.
With the Hezbo having the plurality, Syrian and Iranian backing and advantages of borders, the Saudi are at a disadvantage.
