In today's videobriefing, Graham Hutchings, Editor of the Oxford Analytica Daily Brief, discusses the impact of the report of the Iraq Study Group with Dr Robin Ostle, Fellow of St John's College Oxford, and Oxford Analytica Region Head. They focus on the question of whether the Baker report will lead to policy change in Washington.

They then examine the prospects for an end to the political crisis in Lebanon, where the government of Prime Minister Fouad Siniora is under siege from Hizbollah demonstrators who have occupied much of Beirut. There is also the customary review of discussion at the Oxford Analytica Morning Conference during the past few days.
