PAULA ZAHN, CNN ANCHOR: We are going to go now live to Beirut where Brent Sadler is standing by. There have been very late developments at the Arab League summit, there is talk of some delegations pulling out. Let's turn to Brent to find out what's going on there right now. Brent, what have you learned?</s>BRENT SADLER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes, indeed, Paula. Some drama over the past half an hour or so. It began when the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat was supposed to be taking part in a live teleconference between himself in his West Bank headquarters of Ramallah and here at the summit, Arab summit, conference center in the hotel complex behind me. Now, that didn't happen. Instead, we saw Mr. Arafat pop up on the Al-Jazeera, the Arab satellite network. He gave a long speech, but that wasn't the way it was supposed to pan out. He should have been beamed directly</s>ZAHN: Brent, has anybody else walked out?</s>SADLER: Well, Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian president never came in the first place, neither did King Abdullah from Jordan. Two key Middle East players there, and certainly the non-appearance of Yasser Arafat and this fuss over his live appearance is certainly making this conference very dramatic, and not least its crucial impact on the future of peace in the Middle East.</s>ZAHN: Brent Sadler, keep us posted. Thank you very much for that update.
