a deal and aimed at ending nearly 2 decades of conflict rebel groups in sudan signed a peace agreement with the transitional government. once hailed as a hero now arrested over accusations of terrorism detains the man who saved many lives during the 1994 genocide. and pulling the plug on dissent we speak to 2 sound engineers from baton rouge who had to flee their country after playing an anti russian song and protest. to the school the 1st to this grand slam a book or wrote about his pandemic gets underway in new york with a woman who will never talk about to take to the court of the u.s. but. we begin this hour and in lebanon where mr dave has been named as prime minister designate and will now form a new government a former ambassador to germany one support from several parties and food in the future movement on the shia block hezbollah in aqaba has all the latest from the capital. he was not well known to the public until now most of a db has been chosen to form lebanon's next government the former ambassador to germany is promising change at a time of deep crisis where we will choose a ministerial team with expertise and competency will also carry out quick reforms that will put the country on the path to recovery and end the dangerous financial economic and social bleeding. got the majority of votes during parliamentary consultations the post has reserved for a son a muslim in the country sectarian based governing system that is why support from former prime minister assad to head e.d. hill heads the largest sunni bloc was essential to maintain national unity factions from a divided political landscape came together before the arrival of french president a man while mccall. the country needs to embrace the initiative of president macron because the french president is working with the international community to lift lebanon from underneath the rubble mccall returns to beirut less than a month after visiting the lebanese capital 2 days after the devastating port explosion he has become a main power broker in the political crisis leading efforts to persuade politicians to fight state corruption and push through reforms needed for an international monetary fund bailout plan. for. france. or has. for the next. lebanon needs billions of dollars to rebuild what was destroyed in the port blast and billions more to revive an economy that has been run to the ground unlike his predecessor has done yeah but resigned in the aftermath of the august. for explosion has the support from the majority of political forces but like a db could be held hostage by a political establishment that has been reluctant to carry out a state of reforms that could threaten their interests but this time they may have little choice the state is close to collapse and the international community says there won't be blank checks in the words of the new prime minister lebanon doesn't have time and this may be its last opportunity to save itself senator there as his leader beirut well let's not speak to rami hariri he's a journalism professor at the american university of beirut and also a senior fellow at the harvard kennedy school he joins us now from new york rami was stuff a deal up until now he's not exactly been a household name and lebanon what kind of a man is he and why him well his prime minister because he's not very well known at all and we don't know what kind of a man hears of that that he's a very distinguished culture decent fellow who has served the various public service capacities in the universities and the military think back at one point and look. he sort of with the prime minister and one point. he doesn't have a public real record. and he grew. traction there so that's why he was appointed because he's a clean slate. people who appointed him were just the 4 sunday prime minister's recent prime ministers or millionaires so that. he would be the one who could quell the popular uprising and make some changes and get the country back on track that's a bit of a gamble and the public doesn't really. that doesn't really have a lot of faith in this kind of decision making that's why they've been out on the street for a year protesting because they don't want decisions like this made in closed doors between a few millionaire men they want to start to be vested in the citizenry and were probably see a lot of conversation to this aren't there until the new prime minister showed just what it is he's actually going to do i did want to ask you about that rami because before the coronavirus pandemic before the port explosion what does feel like a very long time ago as you say there were these very vocal enormous protests demanding the reform of the whole the entire political system and and then no makram on his way to lebanon shortly he's also called for pretty much the same in this clearly isn't that is he going to be able to push reform through. you know we just don't know because the critical elements which are 3 what is his bulles position what's the position of the popular uprising in the streets which is probably a majority of the citizens and what kind of government will he name with what kind of policies and what mandate will they get from parliament those 3 other critical elements that will define whether this new prime minister is a success or the government can make the kind of changes that the lebanese desperately need the international community wants in order to provide tons of billions of dollars of aid in investment and those are totally unknown and this is one of the reasons again why there's millions of people who've been in and out of the streets demonstrating because they don't want to live in a world where their fate is decided by a few men and in a closed room every few years while the country continues to collapse economically environmentally politically and socially so we'll just have to wait and see and i think any reasonable person has to feel that well let's see what this new fellow's all about and what kind of government those who know him the chances are not 0 that he will succeed but they're not very high either given the tradition of prime ministers being named them caused rooms without any popular participation life and have lots of talent as a head running corey there always great to speak to here on out there thanks for being with us again. now sudan's transitional government has signed a peace deal aimed at ending nearly 20 years of conflict they remain was reached with various rebel groups neighboring south sudan media said that deal reports from the sudanese capital. nearly a year after the start of talks to dance transitional government and the opposition coalition the sudanese revolutionary front are signing a peace deal the administration made ending conflict across an extent priority and it's hoped this will help achieve it in the city on the promise of the me we are glad that we managed to achieve a milestone regarding achieving peace in sudan we know there are other factions better yes to sign and we hope there will be another ranch negotiate with these groups peace is the most important thing we have for the decisional period and without it all the talks about democratic concision economic developments is not possible so we see this as a 1st step to the dance incision leading up to this deal agreements have been signed by other groups that make up the sudanese revolutionary front each are presenting a different region in sudan the groups some armed oppose the previous government of ahmed bashir who was overthrown in april last year they say their regions have long been marginalized the new deal will give a role in the transitional government and hand over more power to local governments it also paves the way for the formation of a transitional legislative assembly the deal mediated by south sudan would also restarts the dance of 39 month transitional period imo we affirm the commitment of south sudan and sudan's journey to peace because sudan peace is south sudan's peace there are still 2 more groups that are yet to sign a deal and we will continue on the issue of peace until there is a comprehensive peace in sudan we don't want any more war in dar for negotiations to end the conflict in the western region of darfur has taken the longest the war there began in 2003 and has resulted in the deaths of 300000 people and the displacement of 2000000 the forces of the armed groups will be integrated into the sudanese army reparable. will be paid to those affected by the conflict and those displaced will be allowed to return home and in a fair not a biomed we've been in these camps since 2004 now we want the conflict again so we can go back to our harvest into our own sister a home but we've not been properly consulted on the deal that's taking place all represented and so we concerned it may not hold. the deal is not the 1st attempt at peace in sudan's conflict zones but sudan's transitional government and the sudanese revolutionary front say this time there's a political will to make it last people morgan out of their own hearts home. while sudan's transitional government has signed a peace deal aimed at ending nearly 20 years of conflict as well as saying that agreement was reached with various rebel groups but we've also spoken to cinnamon belzer he's a certainly as affairs analyst and also the former director of this or done fast the sudan democracy fast group i'm sorry he says there's still some way to go to achieve peace that women implementation would require a lot of resources but she doesn't have because of a chronic and worsening economic crisis threatening instability in the country become a crisis and we need it by increasing tensions between the military component of. their cabinet which are trying to place all the resources of the country and the sovereign oversight of the ministry of finance while the richer establishment is considerable economic clout it is denying access rejecting acceptance of oversight of the government of their resources and therefore sudan has yet to address a lot of issues in order to be able to implement this agreement and to earn the trust of the international community to show that there will be influx of for sources to enable them to additional organ aquarius. a man who hid and protected hundreds of people during the 19041 genocide has now been arrested on terror charges poorest as a beginner i was detained abroad he'd been living in exile he's accused of forming and leading what for one donald artie's call terrorist movements which has a beginning a one multiple human rights awards for saving lives during the genocide an estimated 800000 rwandans were killed there in 100 days his role was celebrated in the 2004 film hotel rwanda and our correspondent malcolm webb is across all of this from the kenyan capital nairobi he says government critics like poor set up again are not tolerated in rwanda hollywood does he said betrayed him as a hero but rwanda's investigation bureau has said today that he's been arrested and he's been charged with funding terrorist groups and organizing attacks within rwanda from abroad now it's made these kinds of allegations against him for many years was back in there during the genocide in 1904 when he was widely reported to have protected hundreds of ethnic to seize in an international hotel where he was the manager at the time 12 years after that he published a book criticizing the government of president paul kagame in rwanda saying that it favored a small ethnic tutsi elite and was marginalizing the hutu majority the kinds of ethnic divisions and marginalization that with the events in the previous decades to the genocide he said these kind of things were still going on and that led to a public feud between him and president paul kagame he also accused wonder's government of denying and covering up the massacres of ethnic hutus that took place at the same time he said that no one's been held to account for these event now it's certainly not uncommon for these kinds of views are very rarely tolerated really tolerated in rwanda rich. well let's now speak to nicol upon that she's an expert on trans transitional justice in rwanda and is also a senior lecturer in criminal law at king's college london too joins us on skype from that nikka thanks for being with us this is really quite the statement by the rwandan government and by poor gummy indeed i mean pull rusesabagina is a hugely controversial figure inside of rwanda today so his status as as risk here or in 1904 has has been contested by a range of act as inside of the country including some of the genocide. in the middle colleen which is which is being searched famously known as hotel rwanda but i think what's key is that this is a wrist comes at a time with it being a large number of international arrest warrants that have been enacted in a range of countries against rwanda diaspora so this is the 3rd high profile arist in the last 3 months as you say a number of high profile arrests he was arrested in another country we're not sure yet which one and then repatriated to rwanda that's obviously cooperation with the 2nd country he's been living in exile for so long why are we seeing this now. i think what we're seeing is a growing international support for the rwandan government in getting. in executing international arrest warrants that they're issuing and i think it's also important to note that in this case resistivity now is not being charged with any allegation of involvement in the $994.00 genocide against the tootsie but rather he's being alleged to have connections with f l a in which is an armed group opposed to the rwandan government and based in the eastern democratic republic of congo and burundi and it's this group that's alleged to have attacked and killed one instead as citizens in the south of the country in 2008 and is being described by the rwandan government as the armed wing offices and but you know as political grouping the m.r.c. t. which is the rwandan movement for democratic change these allegations of a support for these groups in these neighboring countries not only iran standen in the d.l.c. but author in a number of other places how they just met all day. i think they're a very legitimate concerns that there is organized andras assistance to the current regime in rwanda and so i think that these that this organization is real to the extent to which this is a biggie you know has been involved in this i couldn't comment but i think this is this is a real aspect of how. political order is currently being arranged as you say nic larry says he began to has always had political ambitions of his own and he launched his own political party sometime back how has all of that played into things here especially when it comes to his rivalry with kagami. i think the key question here is the extent to which this is a biggie you know it was a moderate in 1904 and as i say that has been contested and the extent to which this there is still space and opportunity for moderate and engaged political dialogue inside of rwanda. they're an expert on transitional justice and rwanda great to get your thoughts here on out there thanks for being with us michael. well there's plenty more ahead for you on this news hour. opposition supporters celebration montenegro after a child's dispute brings a surprise election results plus. i'm

arrived in the united arab emirates from israel on the 1st commercial flight between those 2 nations krisna is joined by an israeli delegation that visit follows a u.s. brokered deal between israel and the u.a.e. to normalize relations and all yet to be formalized but palestinians have denounced that deal saying it betrays their rights. we can't want peace more than they want peace and so when they are ready the whole region is very excited to help lift them up and move them forward but they can't be stuck in the past they have to they have to come to the table they have to figure out how do we do something that benefits everybody and allow everyone to move forward so again peace will be ready for them an opportunity will be ready for them as soon as they're ready to embrace it now al-jazeera senior political analyst mark on the shar explains how the move could further impact the palestinian population. i would love is rushing to make a deal with that because things the israelis have a lot of clout in washington and they think the united is better than the right bit if biden is elected president and insists on returning to the new the iranian nuclear deal the palestinians think it's a betrayal we could say effectuating it is a traitor in the sense that despite the p r stunts and the b.s. that come from abu dhabi about trying to help the palestinians not an exemption it's sort of an open standoff and everyone knows that behind the scenes of what that we have been here have been coordinating have been sharing intelligence have been working out though i ask and the last thing on their mind is the palestinians and we also saw that from that the new house response to the overtures will be having not mention that as he has a lot if anything it is that then you know who the last several weeks have been telling the israeli peace council that's call that the moderates or the centrist in israel that they were wrong all along that israel does not have to go see anything to the arabs or to the palestinians in order for israel the normalize relations with other countries and i would not be proven to be a whole correct he who right in the sense that it has entered into a relationship by then and alliance with israel. while not even being any attention to that issue why britain away from the arab consensus that said look we will go in my lives relations with israel but only after israel withdraws from palestinian arab lands and recognizes the palestinian rights to be free people in their own home. now montenegro is really in party has narrowly won the parliamentary election there so that's its worst result since the country won independence from serbia 14 years ago the pro western party of president of it secured 35 percent of votes but the proserpina opposition party trailed behind with 32 percent that means it could still form a government if it can reach consensus with montenegro's 2 other opposition parties well for more on all of this let's go live to. have i'm sorry about. montenegro's capital yvonne as people were voting yesterday you and i were talking about just how montenegro is now the most divided it's ever been we've certainly seen that in the results can you break them down for us. this country's sharply divided with clearly visible even after these elections your earlier mentioned the celebrations in the street or montenegro or capitol police or last night we saw people celebrating at the streets waving mostly with serbian flags just a few of them holds hold montenegro flag the part of the society is very silent but most important thing right now is that situation is quiet calm despite all those fears that some incidents could broke when it comes to the results of these elections there are 3 main opposition blocks which needs to go into further cooperation to create in order to create a new government those 3 together have a very narrow majority in montenegro parliament with just one hand more than the other bloc as. those 3 opposition bloc have only one thing in common and that's a wish to change the government told their issues could be very problematic intend to create a government of experts but for example to be an opposition works would love to have more closer ties with russia and with serbia while the 3rd bloc is a process called aura and they stands for european pro western part of the country so it's hard to to expect some dramatic change in the main course of this country but lists are very cautious and careful and they say that even with this results this country could be even more divided and more divisions and political tensions could be expected in the next months and years. even though how did we get here there were protests i recall last year and then fears as you just said of what might happen in the aftermath of this election what are the drivers of the discontent that we're now seeing in the country. well as i said we can talk about various reasons for example. leading the p s party which was leading this country for more than 3 decades were facing charges and accusations of corruption and the lack of rule of law but the main impact in these elections was made by serbian orthodox church the church openly stood by the opposition they called urged their followers to give their votes to the opposition parties jewish was very unsatisfied with the controversial on religious freedom which was adopted tough year ago in montenegro they even organized a huge protests throughout the country they were in fear that the state which with this law allow could take control over their property build before 918 when montenegro was a kingdom the state said the current government said that all these religious sites were build. built by the state or not by the religious or religious organization on the other hand there was. this current government to establish once existed in montenegro orthodox church so the serbian orthodox church as the main church in montenegro was. afraid that they are the main targets and they were just the one that dismissed this law now this law is going to be the main test for a new government cause or be an opposition would love to dismiss it while this proceeding organization called dura never said openly what are their intentions when it comes to that controversial law very interesting dynamics that even package the capital of montenegro for us thanks for that yvonne. now a number of baltic countries have announced a series of sanctions against bella bruce if you're a near latvia and estonia have all placed travel sanctions on nearly 30 better russian officials including president alexander new for shanker the european union is considering a very similar list of belorussians to target for travel sanctions and asset freezes that's if the government doesn't end what the block is calling human rights violations for his part lucas hanka has threatened to cut off european transit and trade routes across his country in retaliation to any sanctions meanwhile thousands of people continue to demonstrate against the president and many of them have had to seek refuge in neighboring countries about it smith reports from the neighboring capital of sorry the capital of neighboring with uranium. a few seconds of defiance against the government of russian president alexander lukashenko cost kirill got a lot of lost their jobs and their freedom i thought we'd play the song $1.00 of the bosses would come in and say what the hell are you doing and we would turn it off no problem and it would just be something irritating but we would be honest to ourselves and when in the future i look back i wouldn't feel any shame for taking part in this event. state sound engineers have been forced to play music at a government concert just before the presidential election. but they slipped in a famous song from 1986 used by anti soviet groups. i still have them then your super more through to the next moment there was this explosion of emotions people were singing along and i realized it would have risen and i knew i'd be arrested and one journalist ran up to me and said give me the number of one of your relatives because you know now you'll be arrested when asked to measure the kirill and vladislav were tried and found guilty of resisting arrest despite video released by minsk police showing engineers complying with the arresting officers they were jailed for 10 days they have a deal of credit for it if that's all there. was a spent 5 days in jail in the small cell that stank of chlorine made your eyes water it was so strong it was really hard to breathe properly and i didn't sleep at all now they've been given visas by neighboring lithuania and they're here with their girlfriends who wanted to come with them yeah yeah. i'm happy that my friends and family can sleep well knowing that i was safe and no longer in danger i left the country because they didn't have any other way out so my. all of them say they want to go back home to belarus but not while alexander lukashenko is there these are the activists or politicians just 4 of the hundreds of thousands of people who . dead to dispute the president's claim that he want to 80 percent of the vote in the election in early august the baltic states of introduce largely symbolic travel bans on alexander lukashenko and other senior members of his administration the 66 year old leader is continuing to resist calls to step down seems to have the backing of the kremlin which on monday said the

is that there's not much of a breeze coming down from the dry desert of iraq there has got the easterly breeze it means it will be humid for the next 3 days just fairly typical admittedly. little change to be honest as the still blowing in salalah fairly consistently now drizzle on the overhead cloud. over africa this tabby you get as you die big showers that move slowly west woods and leave into the atlantic they're doing that there was follow with sudden mauritania mali moving out through some ago but the shells are pretty big always through syria young for example and increasingly showing up in cameroon and the sas is that as well if you drop even further than of late winter interest has been showing up here this is a very active frontal still for the eastern side of south

president michel own has named ambassador stuff as the new prime minister designate deep secured the support of a majority of m.p.'s the previous government question on aug 10th after the bay report

parts of sudan including to offer. and both countries have announced a series of travel sanctions against the better russian president and $29.00 other officials the e.u. is also considering sanctions against alexander nukes. us president donald trump has continued to tweet against democratic mayors and cities where black lives matter protests are happening saying they've lost control that's after the mare portland accuse trump of creating a culture of fear hatred and division in the united states portland has seen months of protests following the killing of george floyd and one person was also killed on saturday as supporters of president trump confronted protesters while at our white house correspondent can be haokip joins us now live from washington d.c. kimberly it's really been quite the busy weekend on twitter for president trump and he seems particularly eager to stoke these animosities in places like an ocean portland it seems like the republicans aren't being shy about their strategy heading towards november. i think to be clear you know in the opening there what you talked about were the protests what the president is pushing back against is not the protest but the violence that comes later and i think that's an important nuance that we need to make sure our viewers understand so with that i don't think it's the republican party per se but perhaps donald trump i think how we need to frame this in terms of an election issue is that both joe biden and donald trump have made social justice a centerpiece of this campaign and so what we're seeing with the issue of racial justice and also violence and they are in many cases 2 separate things that is what the president is railing against particularly the violence aspect of it so we saw as you mentioned the twitter aspect to this law and order he is trying to project that these democratic mayors have allowed the violence aspect that comes much later than the protests in most cases get out of control and so to rope them all together i think is somewhat misleading now in terms of all of this what the u.s. president is also trying to do as an election strategy is try to tie joe biden to this radical element of these protests if you will the violent aspect sensually saying that he is allowing agitators anarchists to allow things to get out of control and the democratic mayors are not doing enough about it so essentially the message that all of this is that he's trying to project joe biden is weak on crime we heard this in the republican national convention and he spent the weekend kind of doubling down and can really we are expecting to hear from joe biden himself on the one of this as well. absolutely not to you know sort of miss an opportunity we've got from the democratic presidential nominee joe biden he's head hat heading to pittsburgh he's going to talk not just about this issue but also about the pandemic he's going to essentially say that donald trump has not done enough to avert and then sort of deal with the economic devastation that americans have felt as a result of this pandemic now with respect to the social justice protest we know that joe biden is also going to accuse donald trump of fanning the flames of hate and division and encouraging the violence much like we saw over the weekend the west coast of the united states he's going to make the case that donald trump has really forfeited his moral leadership that he can't stop the violence because he's going to accuse the president of fomenting it embolden white nationalists and so in chaos so what you can see again is this is a centerpiece of the campaign as we move into the final stretch both men staking their positions trying to weaponize against the other and we're bringing you all the latest here on al-jazeera our white house correspondent kelly house for us in d.c. thanks so much company well to the coronavirus pandemic now and india's economy has contracted for the 1st time in 40 years as a result of the pandemic and g.d.p. shrank by 23.9 percent between april and june india dealt with an unprecedented nationwide shutdown from march the country reported more than 78000 new cases on sunday its biggest single day. india is also saying it's disrupted what it's calling provocative military movements by chinese troops at a disputed section of the border the indian army says it happened overnight on sunday in the east in the dock region near the so-called line of actual control elizabeth problem is the new delhi with more. the indian army has released a statement the indian government in fact saying that late on saturday night in the early hours of sunday morning that chinese troops violated a consensus that was agreed to in military diplomatic engagements during an ongoing standoff between the 2 countries in the region of east in the dock and that china tried to carry out military movements to you need naturally changed status quo they said that indian troops preempted this activity on the southern banks of the pabulum so. they also said that india is committed to maintaining peace through dialogue but equally determined to protect its territorial integrity and that there are now commanded level talks going on to try and resolve the issue now talks have been going on between the 2 sides since may 2 there's all these escalation in tensions and the border dispute between india and china goes back decades they both have territorial claims to read a half 1000 kilometers of land they often have soldiers often have clashes along that unofficial boarded the line of actual control but what changed was despite these talks going on despite a military buildup being seen in satellite imagery there was a very violent clash on the 15th of june and 20 indian soldiers and an unknown number of chinese soldiers were killed in mid june and since then these talks between the 2 sides have really ramped up and yet the latest statement from the indian army would indicate that there is still far from a resolution to this whole china has arrested an australian citizen who was a t.v. anchor a chinese state run channel c t n a strain his foreign minister has confirmed to the high profile arrest of chiang lay the reasons for her arrest remain unclear and comes amid growing tension between china and australia over the coronavirus pandemic and beijing's handling of the outbreak. and our hong kong's government says half a 1000000 people have signed up for its free coronavirus testing program that's to show launch on tuesday but a pro-democracy anion of health care workers has called for a boycott because of the program's close connections to mainland china reports from hong kong. in a city still struggling with a 3rd wave of corona virus infection the government says mass testing is the best way to put hong kong on a course for recovery. the universal community testing program is running from september 1st the government is heavily promoting the campaign which has been funded by mainland china central government at a cost of $20000000.00 the offer was presented as a favor to the city government has released this video thanking mine and authorities for the hilt odd choice let me reiterate that this is a 100 percent voluntary universal testing program the aim is to ensure those who want to get tested can get tested more than 140 centers have now been set up with voluntary testing to start on tuesday the hong kong government says it's responsible for sample collection but a team of 60 medical staff from china will lead the screening and 3 mine land based bird trees will process the results china's involvement is being viewed with skepticism by some who fear the genetic data could be used for other purposes we do not know how the data will be stored how long they are going to retain or if they are collecting the data for testing so what they use it for comparison for this takes we we don't know despite a recent outbreak hong kong has seen a downward trend a few of the 100 cases for more than 20 dies the government says this screening program imes to address a recent spike in community transmissions and also did people peace of mind opposition groups and some in the middle. community so messed testing is not the most cost effective solution i don't go against testing but i really think that testing should be targeted testing should be targeted to those who have symptoms testing should be targeted to doe's with close contact with a confident cases. reported more than 4 and a half 1000 coronavirus cases so far this mess testing program may identify more infections the moment authorities leading the campaign it would also be a barometer of anti moment sentiment in his former british territory sarah clarke al-jazeera hong kong now 2 opposition leaders in ivory coast attempting to join the presidential race there on tuesday despite being barred from running both of them living in exile and had their candidacies rejected by the electoral commission president al assad ouattara is running for a 3rd term but critics say that's against the constitution several people have been killed and recent weeks during protests against the president. that address has this update from a preacher. the fact that the deadline for the submission of these papers candidacy papers is about 2 and that's the reason why they support is wanted to make sure that the election commission put them on the ballot so if the election commission refuses to put them to put their names on the ballot a lot of people feel that they could be some kind of porters across ivory coast especially from their supporters and that leads the field to 2 key gladiators in ivory politics or president already
