Hezbollah and its political allies have claimed victory in Lebanon's parliamentary election. More than 500 candidates competed for just 128-seats. According to final results from all but one of Lebanon's 15 electoral districts, Hezbollah and its allies won just over half the seats in parliament. Meanwhile Western-backed Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri lost over a third of his seats. He blamed a complex new voting law and gaps in his party's performance. But despite these losses, Hariri is optimistic. CGTN's Youmna Naufal reports from Beirut.
