Now half a 1000000 people in oregon are on to an evacuation warning. The other 911 chileans marked the anniversary with protests remembering one of the darkest moments in the nations history. The gulf states by her rain has followed the United Arab Emirates and agreed to normalize ties with israel u. S. President donald trump announced the deal on twitter off to speaking with Bahrains King Hamad bin isa and the israeli Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu. The 3 nations of hailed the move as a historic breakthrough to furthering peace in the middle east officials from bahrain the u. A. E. And israel will formalize their relationship during a signing ceremony at the white house next week here at the end to Peace Agreements with israel in the last 72 years this is now the 2nd Peace Agreement that weve announced in the last month and i am very hopeful that there will be more to follow i can tell you theres tremendous enthusiasm on behalf of other countries to also join and we think ultimately youll have most countries join and you can have the palestinians. In a very good position they want to come and theyre going to want to come in because all of their friends are and were witnessing a period of history a pivot towards peace were about to read another historic peace between israel and the kingdom of bahrain this follows this story peace between israel and the United Arab Emirates weve been working on this for many years but we wouldnt come to this historic moment without the forceful leadership of president from and is able to. A White House Correspondent kimberly hellcat has more on the story. Theres no question that the u. S. President is looking for some wins given the fact that he has been really decimated when it comes to public approval of his handling of the covert 19 crisis here in the United States the fact the economy has been obliterated through shutdowns and even as he touts success in terms of job gains most americans know that with 30000000 americans remaining out of work roughly that that is certainly not a win so this president trailing joe biden in the polls has been in recent days claiming victory in a number of number of areas of Foreign Policy the latest being this agreement between brain add israel the signing ceremony that will also include the u. A. E. Taking place on tuesday but whats notable in all of this is the u. S. President calling this kind of a Foreign Policy victory that he believes could be a template to broader stability and prosperity of the middle east in no way acknowledges the failure of this administration and that is to get the socalled deal of the century the one that he had been hoping to get and had been trying to work towards and that is between israel and the palestinians and thats in large part to the fact that this administration chose very early on to side singlehandedly with the israelis even moving the u. S. Embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and the palestinians not even really part of the discussion or the equation and so a lot of head scratching going on about how the u. S. President now claiming victory in advance of the election really 8 weeks away and it comes we should point out just one day after the u. S. President talked about claiming to keep another Campaign Promise that is ending the socalled endless wars yet what we know about that is that the United States still has a footprint in iraq syria afghanistan and even if there are some withdrawals of troops it is really a draw down not a complete withdrawal so this seems to be some of the president s branding that he often does projecting optimism pronouncing that he has achieved a goal or success even if in fact that is not entirely the case. The Palestinian Authority has condemned bahrains decision and ordered its ambassador to return home and described the recognition of israel as a betrayal and normalization of illegal occupation need abraham has moved from ramallah palestinians are saying that even when the u. A. E. Deal with israel has boosted that it has put annexation on the ice with the time being its really practices on the ground are ongoing so for example operation hasnt ended and the beheading the statement of the normalization agreement today is did not he didnt give anything to the palestinians so they feel that theyve been left out alone against what the arab leagues previous resolutions were in specific the Arab Peace Initiative which calls for the normalization between arab states and is a rebuttal only after israel and its occupation now the palestinian president has recalled the Palestinian Ambassador to beheading weve seen a similar move to. When the u. A. E. Is finding its deal and of course the fear now among many palestinians is that there at the u. A. E. Is the deal has been a green light really 2 or more arab states to normalize with israel and weve heard also many palestinians saying that for years theyve been seeing the u. S. The radio lawyer in the region that is really a partner but now they see it as israels agent specifically saying that because trump is the one whos been announcing the. Deals of normalization between me and you. And israel on the other hand youll see mechelle back is a professor of International Relations at Regents University in london he says the palestinians must be more united to protect their cause. We have 2 leaders in washington and in these are this one the social we lost smart sure one because of election and another because of cooption the serious ones and this this will go also going to determine the future of or for any peace negotiations but i think this is a wake up call for the palestinians disunity among the palestinians their inability to unite between gaza and the west bank given the fact the hunger and the hamas else there and they need to come with a new strategy is otherwise they have seen this week and they wanted the United States and user can actually dictate their future and if these are the american going to the they this Huge Movement then branch and off of the occupation there then those middle of settlement and probably as youre meant to imply that the end of 2 state solution so off i think its for the palestinians to wake up or some of the new york in union to take a stronger stand on this because and also hopefully slowly its also said that we felt if this limits with the palestinians its when it means a continuation of the of the of the of the fall the fall of the law.

This is the reality for the thousands of refugees on the greek island of last boss caught between the streets and an even more precarious future. And these are the politicians who are tasked with finding a solution to a crisis that has been gnawing at the European Union after 5 years of attempts and acknowledgement from brussels that it has so far failed to come up with a comprehensive plan. And we really. Its. Really. Not a good. Vote. On this. But. This is where that failure is being felt most all. The roads where makeshift tents housed those left with nowhere to stay but only 10 Member States have offered to take in the most vulnerable of those left stranded body s. 406 unaccompanied children with france and germany taking up 150. 00 each they are the only ones who will be able to leave the island for now germanys interior minister defended the decision not to take in more people.

Aljazeera. Despite a growing infection rates from its has reduced its coronavirus quarantine period from 14. 00 to 7. 00 days and is still aiming to avoid a 2nd lockdown promises on cost say to self isolating an ounce fastrack testing for priority cases and more powers for local authorities to enforce stronger rules for all to see in between 9 and 10000 new coronavirus cases each day recently but you look or say today for Us Defense Council has counted 42 departments that are classified red zones meaning where the virus is circulating actively this classification does not lead to automatic consequences but it allows prefix in coordination with helpful storage news and local leaders to activate additional measures to reduce risks especially on mass clearing on public gatherings on big events and on the Opening Hours of some businesses. It has more from paris. Well the french Prime Minister john key aspects certainly did not come out with a raft of new restrictions as many had expected what he did do was detail the situation in france and say that the rising infection rate certainly showed that there was urgency and he called on people in france to be far more vigilant now what he was saying was that basically if people didnt take more care now to stop the spread of the corona virus and maybe in a few weeks time a few months time the government would have to put in place much stronger and tougher restrictions now what are cast ex did was remind people that they need to keep up things like washing hands masks a most public spaces in most cities in france already but they must people must continue to social distance you also said there had been a problem with testing that although france is managing to test a 1000000 people a week which he said was the 3rd highest rate for european country many people who were priority cases so someone whos come in contact with someone whos got 1000 for example they were falling to the back of the testing kill if you like so you said that they would be far more focused on priority cases when it came to testing. Also said that if somebody does test positive at the moment they are expected to self isolate for 14 days unless of course they are being hospitalized but he said that would be reduced to 7 days the reason he says is that medical experts have told the government that people are far more likely to abate the rules and really probably for 7 days and also that its in those 7 days that they are most likely to be contagious or infectious.
