And im we are hearty and doha with sports well tell you whos the latest club to make footballs the European Champions League semifinals as we look ahead to a mouthwatering match up lee up lionel messi is in barcelona against fellow 5 time champions at bury munich. In a surprise announcement israel in the United Arab Emirates have struck a deal to normalize relations the move which u. S. President trump helped to broker only 2 full diplomatic contacts between the 2 the agreement agree its a hoax to israels plans to annex areas of the west bank which were part of the white house proposal announced earlier this year Benjamin Netanyahu says annexation is still on the table is the 1st time israel has normalized relations with an arab country since making peace with egypt in 979 and jordan in 1904 but its being criticized by the palestinians who say it rewards israels occupation of the west bank and does nothing to further their cause the Palestinian Ambassador to the u. A. E. Has now been recalled to show displeasure the deal was announced by donald trump from the oval office. Just a few moments ago i was at a very special call with 2 friends Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of israel and crown Prince Mohammed bin laden the United Arab Emirates where they agreed to finalize a historical Peace Agreement. Everybody said this would be impossible. And as you know mohamed is one of the great leaders of the middle east after 49 years that israel and the United Arab Emirates will fully normalize their diplomatic relations they will exchange embassies and ambassadors and begin cooperation across the border and or a broad range of areas including Tourism Education health care trade and security. This is a truly historic moment not just the israel jordan peace treaty was signed more than 25 years ago has so much progress been made towards peace in the middle east by uniting 2 of americas closest and most capable partners in the region something which could not be done this deal is a significant step towards building a more peaceful secure and prosperous middle east israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has not given up pursuing plans to annex occupied Palestinian Land. The political interim president trying to put the annexation into east peace plan those who criticize me should know i said time and again that an exaggeration will only be made in accordance with the United States without that it is worthless and it will damage the settlements President Trump who is one of israels greatest friends as aust israel to temporarily hold the an exaggeration in order to conduct peace with the u. A. E. And i have not given up the annexation yet and i will bring an exaggeration just as i have with this peace deal and i will never give up israels rights to this country. She has a chance is standing by at the white house but 1st to Harry Fawcett in west jerusalem i mean its you know who will obviously see this is a personal triumph but how significant is this israel as a whole. But he certainly does see it as a personal triumph he talked about his long term work towards trying to normalize relations with arab countries during his statement earlier but i think for israel it is certainly a big moment it is the big story i think thats partly fueled by the fact that it came as such a big surprise and for mainstream jewish israeli opinion there has been a good level of support for this i think the outliers would largely be on the far right the settler communities who are already talking about betrayal because of the suspension of the annexation process netanyahu self put it in Historical Context talking about 979. 00 with egypt 994. 00 with jordan and now this with the United Arab Emirates one difference is that this isnt really a peace treaty there was never a conflict or any war to end officially with the u. S. But it is a major change at least in the public nature of this relationship which has been going on behind the scenes to a large extent for many years but this could lead to direct flights much more economic technological cooperation and according to netanyahu and according to trump full diplomatic relations the crown prince of the u. A. E. Mohammed bin ziad was a bit less if you see if he talked about it being a road map towards a bilateral relationship but a senior official from his own Foreign Ministry so that this was for real and that it would happen pretty quickly the other outlying thing though is the question of annexation the United States has said that that israel suspended annexation to allow this to happen the u. A. E. Is saying this is a victory that has stopped defused the ticking time bomb about taxation by going for this deal but netanyahu self says that its still on the table even if that seems unrealistic without the u. S. Support that he says he requires he says that still is ambition i have for us and you very much indeed you have a townsend joins us now from washington d. C. How important will this be for donald trump and his reelection prospects. Well this news made no dent whatsoever on the news agenda in america theres quite a lot going on after all i think the payoff for donald trump is in a few weeks time when the signing ceremony occurs on the white house lawn finally this is the picture of these this is the footage of the donald trump has covered ever since he came into office the new york deal making now the International Deal make a bringing implacable foes together signing peace treaties hes not as joe biden suggest just in the white house watching fox news or playing golf hes bringing peace to the to the world so thats thats where the payoff will come only clinton and jimmy carter have done this done this before so thats thats the big payoff for the elections good for his evangelical base another reminder of anyones wavering given doldrums handling of so many issues in recent months im the one who can say youve got israels illegal occupation of Palestinian Land dont forget that and that that fulfills biblical prophecy its good for one of his major donors Sheldon Adelson there were reports in the last few days of a tiff between donald trump and Sheldon Adelson another might have Sheldon Adelson incredibly right wing on the israel palestine keep the money coming i knew about i should add that this is really good use of joe biden as well despite what you may have heard there is a low level civil war under way in the Democratic Party the selection of comma harris is only intensified that is a big slap in the face because. They represent what is seen as the the neo liberal neo conservative one percent of the of the Democratic Party come on how this close to a pact the extreme right wing israeli lobby another reason why so many progressives were against joe biden theres been a huge fight about the democratic platform joe biden personally interceded to take the word occupation out off out of the democratic platform hes made it clear that aid will not be conditional on israeli human rights that israel will get 3800000000. 00 of aid no matter walt that the u. S. Embassy wont be moved from driessen to tel aviv if you becomes president so the progress is already up at all. It was about job i dont call iris when it comes to israel if netanyahu had go ahead with this one exception that war would have become would have intensified because biden house spoke out against the prospect of an extension he had been under a lot of pressure than to actually do something instead of just talk meanwhile the mainstream wing of the Democratic Party we said no no youve got to keep the keep the israeli israelis straight so joe biden has dodged a bullet to. Thank you very much indeed to have a chance and. The reaction from the palestinians has been critical with a deal called a stab in the back a spokesman for the president said it should be reversed. The palestinian leadership rejects what the u. A. E. Has done which it considers tantamount to trial of jerusalem. And the palestinian cause we perceive it has a recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel and demand the u. A. E. To immediately withdraw from this disgraceful declare ration of the palestinian leadership walls to arabic bravos against bowing to american pressure following in the footsteps of the u. A. E. And normalizing the Israeli Occupation at the expense of palestinian rights. Need abraham is in ramallah where she says there are feelings of betrayal. Weve heard from the palestinian president s spokesperson that dana here read the statement on the palestinian t. V. Just now saying that the palestinian leadership has met and considered this decision by the you we have betrayal to jerusalem and the palestinian cause he said that this is a blow to the Arab Peace Initiative and all the resolutions that have resulted from the arab and islamic beliefs summit namely because the Arab Peace Initiative talks about normalizing relations between israel and the arab states with only after israel and its occupation and. This is considered an acknowledgment by the u. A. E. That jerusalem is the capital for israel this is something that many palestinians have denounced especially when the u. S. Has decided to recognize truth to them and has moved its embassy and for many palestinians in the street they would tell you that theyve lost faith a long time ago in the arab regimes that the end of brule or is that they are going to be helping them on the contrary they feel that theyve been left out alone by these regimes but they still believe that the our nation is for them its important to note that many here fear that other are of an islamic states my. Our senior political analyst joins us live via skype from london a moment thanks for being with us so betrayal or a breakthrough depending on how you look at it how significant would you say this particular moment is. Well certainly not a breakthrough d i mean unless you are sitting in one of those spots in capital where you only look at things from an imperial lenses there is absolutely no breakthrough for the most interesting part in all of this which is the palestinian and clearly no beast breakthrough between the u. A. E. In israel that were never at war i mean how could you have a historical Peace Agreement between 2 countries that are not butting one another have never been up war have never been involved in combat and then call it a historic breakthrough it makes no sense on the other hand the fact that they u. A. E. Has already normalized is still a shiz with this right it has already entered into a strategic and intelligence sharing arrangement with israel for it now to agree to a Peace Agreement with israel and its all basically happening and reverse if theres anything historic about whats going on today is that never in the history of International Relations how weve seen everything been done upside down usually you sign a Peace Agreement youre normalize relations and then you enter into a strategic and intelligence should it arrangement here this started with intelligence such as relations into normalization and disagreements. And how much of this is all to do with the concern from israel and viewing about irans regional influence its absolutely a factor but i think its sort of a fact that somehow or somewhere down the road because if you look at what they u. A. E. Has been doing i mean to say its punching above its belt. Its its it doesnt you can do it justice normalizing relations with the with the bloodthirsty dictator of syria. Its a good thing war d in yemen leading to the death of countless yemenis and the displacement of millions the same thing in libya and now we have this thing thats been done basically backstabbing the palestinians with. With israel when this all happens meaning out of because theres come together in alliance with israel under the auspices of the compensation clearly iran is somewhere in the horizon in the sense that they would like to work out a sort of a regional triangle a sort egypt israel and couple of gulf countries against iran under the auspices of the United States i think this would lead to escalation this might lead to war especially if trump really feels that he is not winning election and so to say that this is all done in the name of peace and justice and love for the palestinian really holds no water when yemenis libyans syrians are getting killed and the objective of this thing could lead to even more this collision of war in the middle east while in the shot thank you very much indeed.

In the past hour the u. K. s transport minister says he would impose a 2 week quarantine on all people arriving from the netherlands and france from saturday is sort of a sore surgeon infections france is seeing its highest number of cases since restrictions were eased in may the country reported more than 2600. 00 new infections on thursday infection rate is also on the rise in malta the netherlands spain and germany Officials Say its due to increased testing and eased restrictions but theyre warning people to pay strict distancing and law schools to spanish regions of banning smoking outdoors because of Coronavirus Health officials in the Canary Islands and get this year so smoking wont be allowed where social distancing cannot be guaranteed including in the street restaurants and bars the World Health Organization has said smoking could increase transmission since it involves the contact of fingers with lips or want to look now at the situation across Europe John Mccain reports from berlin. Here in germany theres a great deal of concern about the way that these new infections are manifesting themselves because the mantra for ministers has been that it is people coming back from high risk areas tourists whove traveled to other parts of europe and unwittingly brought the infection back with them and yet actually paradoxically the majority of new infections taking place in germany take place inside germany elsewhere in those countries france the new infection rate is twice as large as it is in germany and certainly you see in cities the capital city for example in paris where the requirement for mask wearing is back in place but also separately the organizers of the paris marathon the marathon event which would normally attract many tens of thousands of entrants well they werent planning to have to stage the event until november and already theyve said that cannot take place and then of course in spraying you see several regions there where the flare up of corona continues apace and from the german perspective looking at spring we know that the German Government is said that there are 3 regions where it is highly advising its citizens its residents tourists from germany not to go there where there will be the need for some form of quarantine when they come back or indeed a negative test the World Health Organization says theres no evidence that corona virus can spread through the food chain but the u. N. Agency has warned that infection clusters must not be allowed to spread into communities it says a very small percentage of the World Population has had the virus already and it has quote a long way to burn if allowed to spread the w. H. O. Says it also doesnt have enough information to make a judgment on expanded use to the new russian vaccine on tuesday russia became the worlds 1st country to grant Regulatory Approval for a covert 19 x. E. There was a specific question about whether or not we would see. The w. H. O. Expanded use of that we dont have sufficient information at this point to make a judgment on that and were currently in conversation with russia to get Additional Information understand the status of that product the trials that have been undertaken and then what the next steps might be i can speak now to one professor of immunology at Imperial College london he joins us live via skype thanks so much for being with us at a speed a lot of focus on vaccines just particularly on the russian one whats your impression of how convinced are you by its potential. Well you know i think we need as many vaccines as possible theres been. Already reporting a very large phase 2 Clinical Trials of many hundreds of people with very detailed data openly published after peer review this is the smallest trial of i think 38 people it hasnt been Peer Reviewed and hasnt been published so its not really in the landscape yet we dont know anything about it it hasnt been Peer Reviewed and the data weve heard is rather minimal and in terms of progress towards getting any other vaccine that would make a difference well where are we now. And i think were in a kind of moderately good place in the sense that you know there are more than 160 vaccine candidates around probably half a dozen of them going through all the right process in all the right steps and they kind of look like they do everything and everything that says on mckinley they raised very high levels of antibodies and very high levels of t. Cells which we assume you need for protection and now theyve got to go through the rigors of this phase 3 trial where you really see in thousands and thousands of people where they safely protect tell no one what do you think is causing the spikes particularly in places like europe at the moment. I think you know we have to face up to the fact that this is a really horrible insert. Infection that has got into human beings and gets into the longs of many people in the population sometimes silently and they symptomatically and its really really hard once its got in to get it out so you may think your company is doing well and you may have driven down your curve and it only needs a very small number of people who are spreading it you might not know theyre spreading it who go into a crowded place and and then youre off again its a really horrific situation and some people are protesting it says perhaps some good news in that part of the case numbers rising the the death rate in some cases hasnt been keeping pace with that and do you think that there isnt any suggestion of the severity of the virus going down or do you think that theyre done a show that actually its not to do that isnt happening i mean i dont really see any evidence for that i just think that you know we went through our very severe 1st wave when we disproportionately had lethal infections in very vulnerable populations including a lot of the old people young people in care homes and several months have gone by and now we see infections in you know somewhat younger healthier people and most of all the medical profession has just you know at great cost become extremely good at creating this thing so slightly fewer people die thats not really i think a celebrated system you know more of the same gas gas the infection. And thank you very much indeed for joining us thank you. And that america is the center of the oil epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic i should say with no end in sight to the outbreak there have been worries about how long it would take for any vaccine to come of the region now the mexican mexican and argentine governments together with the worlds former richest man say they have a solution john home and reports. Argentina or mexico are calling it a landmark vaccine deal not just for them but for latin america the 2 countries have agreed to produce hundreds of millions of doses for the region for the highly regarded astra zeneca vaccine designed by outside university scientists. And they say it would be free for all met skins and so without profit elsewhere in latin america during the pandemic. This is truly something exceptional will help us a great deal to maintain hope to put an end to uncertainty. The hope is that it means these poor region one have to wait in line behind wealthier nations for a potential lifesaver. Will be able to access the vaccine thanks to this deal between 6 and 12 months earlier than if there were no such agreements with the governments are doing it together with mits can carlos slim once the worlds richest man this is his son. With carlos slim time dilation will participate with the available resources together with the governments of the countries to initiate the process of production of a 150000000 doses with the possibility of increasing to 250000000. But this is not a sure thing yet the vaccine still has to finish based 3 of Clinical Trials and if it does the production will only get going next year for a short Term Solution then but still a bit of good news for latin america the regional hit by climate in the world lets go alarm for bird oh is there a many other countries are struggling in the current. Governments been criticized for their management of the pandemic. At the white house the killer. Of legend to pharaoh. Young man wonderful young man. We just just just came 2 minutes ago so. I just and as you know we named operation legend after legend to for. Were going to be helping out and in the process of helping out cities through country that have difficulty with crime in particular certain types of crime so thats really good news they call it the killing of legend. Today we saw joe biden continue to politicize a pandemic and to show his appalling lack of respect for the American People its what it is at every turn biden has been wrong about the virus ignoring the Scientific Evidence and putting a left wing politics before facts and evidence sleepy joe oppose both the china and the europe travel bans you know that a pose the china travel ban that i instituted very early and the europe travel ban that i instituted quite early if he had. Followed if we went after i listen to his advice. Hundreds of thousands more people wouldve died this is according to many people i believe that dr felt she agreed with that he said that president Company Great decision when he put the ban on china joe biden wants to fling open american borders allowing the pandemic to infiltrate every u. S. Community based on his policies he wants to have ridiculous open borders ive been saying from the 1st day i started campaigning for this great office that you have to open borders you dont have a country you dont have a country with open borders so he wants open borders the democrats want to open borders and if you take a look at our southern border we would have criminals pouring through the wall is getting close to 290 miles long and its having a huge impact so we disagree with him on that thats one of the many different many things that we disagree with. But while joe biden would allow rioters and looters and criminals and millions of illegal aliens to roam free in our country he wants a federal government issue a sweeping new mandate to law abiding citizens he wants the president the United States with the mere stroke of a pen to order over 300000000. 00 american citizens to wear a mask for a minimum of 3 straight months i guess is just happen if thinks its good politics i guess no matter where they live and no matter their surroundings because different states are much different both in terms of the atmosphere itself and also in terms of. The corona problem he does not identify what authority the president has to issue such a mandate or how federal Law Enforcement could possibly enforce it or why we would be stepping on governors throughout our country many of whom have done a very good job and they know what is needed also many of our 50 states are doing the job at a level that frankly people are really surprised and looting foreign governments that are calling us constantly and asking for advice so i want to just say our governors have worked very hard theyve worked with Vice President pence and myself and everybody else thats been going we have scott now involved and so scott congratulations with youll be working with a lot of governors youve already started and dr fouts dr burks if the president has the unilateral power to order every single citizen to cover their face and nearly all instances what are the powers does he have thats why he refused biden. To take questions he couldnt answer any of them couldnt answer the questions he refuses to take questions he never takes questions i take questions in ever takes questions and you sort of wonder whats going on because theyre not that difficult. Some can be nasty but theyre not that difficult but he never takes questions so he just i guess left i didnt see it but i guess he just left the body and put it in your minds my administration has a different approach where of urge americans to wear masks and i am for size this is a patriotic thing to do maybe theyre great and maybe theyre just good maybe then not so good but frankly. What do you have to lose to have nothing to lose so we do and weve been saying where im when its appropriate especially in terms of social distancing if you cant distance enough and. We have to lose but again its up to the governors and we want to have a certain freedom and we want to have a certain freedom thats what were about the same time we also understand that each state is different and is facing unique circumstances you have very very different states may be facing very unique. Differences and circumstances we even trusted the governors of each state elected by the people to develop and force their own Mask Policies and other policies following guidance from the federal government and c. D. C. Were working with each state to implement a plan based on the facts and science we will continue to urge americans to wear masks when they cannot socially just since but whether or not they do bring the full weight of the federal government from there a clearly the pandemic has become or stop still an election issue of a lot of focus there was on biden and what hes been saying he said that biden had was continued to politicize a pandemic any attacked us on the measures that partner suggested and he then went on to suggest that people have nothing to lose by wearing a mask or perhaps a woman dos mint of the policy of mask wearing that same people have nothing to lose but do so only for president tom there. Is. A sticker mind and now the top stories here on jazeera u. S. President donald trump has announced a surprise deal to normalize ties between the u. S. And israel under the agreement israel suspend plans to annex palestinian territory although Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the annexation may still take place in the future. Palestine is recalling its ambassador to the u. A. E. Calling the deal a betrayal and demanding it be retracted. Lets get more on this now see go to knew about is an author and specialist on middle east and gulf issues he joins us now via skype from washington thanks very much for being with us so how significant would you say this is for the region. This is a Significant Development i think that the essence of the announcement today is really our timing because really since 2008 the relationship between the u. A. E. And israel has been strategic in nature. And it has been growing incrementally ever since the question is why why now and i think the answer is quite frankly tied in to President Trumps Reelection Campaign the end of the speech as a gesture from the white house that Jared Krishna gave a briefing saying that other quote other countries may come forward soon with similar deal and private discussions are continuing containing the white house is excited about who we think might be next and is that likely. Well i think we have to look at it in context here because. There are 3 gulf countries are the 6 that have solid diplomatic relations with with that would israel one of them of course is the United Arab Emirates that has now become formal and answer teach it and there are dar oman and qatar oman and qatar both have significant diplomatic relations with israel coupler as we know are cooperate on gaza and and help the palestinians and or mom has a long historic friendship with israel that goes back almost 50 years in time the question of course is will they follow suit and i would i would not necessarily agree with that assumption the relationships between these 2 countries and israel will likely continue but that does not necessarily mean that there will be formal diplomatic relations in sense of what the United Arab Emirates achieved today the palestinian has of called it a stab in the back in the briefing there was also a suggestion from from krishna that the whole tone was temporary and he defined it as between a long time and a short time and does that not ready to dilute some of the one of the key parts of the deal. I dont think so because from an israeli and Trump Administration Vantage Point they argue that the settlements are already there and under any agreement with the palestinians the settlements would remain within israel proper excel therefore recognizing them is just justifying the status quo thats their argument of course in the arab world that is an argument that that is a nonstarter by what the trumpet ministration is of course hoping to accomplish just to palestinians and israelis will return to direct negotiations and within that. Scope can begin to hash out borders amongst themself so far that has not happened and the term but mr a since that is clearly to be passed the palestinians and and push forward what the gulf israel tice the reaction from iran has been strongly against this and they called it a strategic mistake well what do you think iran will do about this this deal if you expect a kind of actual reaction of than words about it well i mean iran irans position on non disuse is sqrt is clear and iran relationship with the United Arab Emirates is very tense we just saw as a matter of fact last night a tanker that was boarded right off and ronnie waters by and by the iranians so iran iran the relationship with the u. A. E. Is tense and the u. S. Decision to move forward with establishing diplomatic relations with iran is going to agonize tehran so so terence response in that matter was predictable so getting about thank you very much indeed feel for some shopping thank you.
