Bank. And celebrating one of germanys best art house film makers and inventors 75th birthday a new documentary takes the legendary director out from behind the camera and puts him in the limelight. Im brian thomas good to have you with us today the government in belarus has started releasing people detained during days of protests the followed president lukashenko has disputed reelection over the weekend some of the detainees were freed from custody the belarus interior minister issued an apology for injuries inflicted on demonstrators close to 7000 people were detained in the crackdown. The apparent concession by the belarus government comes amidst growing pressure both at home and abroad. This is the sound of people power. Thursday night in minsk venting fury at what they see as a stolen election at the weekend giving president Alexander Lukashenko a 6 term in office. The violent civil authorities against initial protests only solidified opposition to the regime. And the american citizen in bellerose toe d. W. Has states haitians broke into have flat and took away have valorous employ friends in the early hours of thursday and you could see that they his nose i think they had broken his nose there was blood on his face have a lawyer and. Normal know how exhausted see her. And so are all this kind of waiting and its really all continues plain when. Shes not alone thousands of others across the country awaiting to quiting and organizing and even picketing Detention Centers where people are being how old book many of those already freed show the injuries inflicted by offices. These pictures the spreading around the world and more will come. People in the streets of piling the pressure on the government as it seems to believe legitimacy. Over to moscow now and our correspondent Emily Sherwin debate you have a way the belorussian government has apologized and started releasing some of the thousands of protesters will this satisfy the demonstrators or will they continue going out on the streets. Well to be honest what weve seen from government officials yesterday was more of a kind of how full apology the head of the interior ministry apologized for any passers by who accidentally got hurt and yesterday the deputy head of the interior ministry actually went to one of the prisons and he then told the family members assembled waiting for their loved ones outside that no one inside had been tortured which of course the people who were being released they told a very different story so this is really a half apology i think especially considering the Horror Stories weve been hearing circulating on social media or videos and photos have been posted people have been talking about being beaten about threats of rape about being stacked in small rooms for hours on end without food and water without the possibility of going to the twilit so really. Conditions and all these people are now being released and theyre angry and so are their family members so the main concession of course of leaving that hasnt been fulfilled and well have to see whether this adds fuel to the fire or those options this point was pressure building as were seeing the most likely and from abroad as well from the you from the United States for example. Well yesterday we saw almost no arrests in the protests that were happening all day so it seems that looks kind of changed his tactic and is no longer cracking down on protesters but the pressure on him is mounting as well because now were seeing strikes at Government Enterprises which is hugely important for the mostly state run economy of bellow weve also seen videos of Security Forces and police kind of burning or destroying their uniforms and saying that they are no longer willing to crackdown on protesters so that could be kind of a turning point for luka shankar the question is what he will do it doesnt seem likely that hell concede even now emily thanks so much for the analysis from moscow to. And were joined now from warsaw by robert be drawn hes a polish member of the European Parliament chairs its delegation for relations with belarus mr chairman thanks very much for coming in on this today. Foreign ministers are discussing beller us at their virtual session today youve come out strongly for reimposing sanctions against belarus what would you like to see the ministers agreed to during their talks today. Yes indeed there arent policy our European Union no art there is no who our king and him are that creaky critical 8 months. It was called that hes not working because shanghai has. Has brought all the rules we were eating days relationship all their own salt. Ocracy human rights. Rule of law. And arms so. What i expect is that. All you see are European Union he verified by the miniskirts and when you are. Ready to know how he price the the sanctions and as he society will be supported by ok in terms of sanctions for you like to see financial sanctions what specifically would you like to say. Well as i see no political groups there is agreement that there should be sanctions imposed. Sanctions through being financial and one should also hold enough only no actually encouraging any stairs i dont so. The medium and all. Level officials are trying to government. Theres a growing. Ban on finance in current and it regime hands also on the other hands strong are sworn to secrecy Society Opposition and. Immediate. Release all that only to call an economy. Because as far as new cd releases are is night. Arrest yes there is justice in bali weve heard that there might be mocked much more. Youve come out saying that Civil Society needs to be developed that Democratic Development in the country is essential but if you impose these financial sanctions on bell or us dont you risk closing the door on the eaves opportunity to do exactly that with Civil Society. It should not be a case because there are tools of cooperation of thanks to change. Us. And these should be imposed we have tools as you up the end a union is there to shine as door directs. The finites right now stalls out. Society not hes a chance to fight for democracy rule of law and. Human rights so. We as you wrote him a moment. Issue. And now you know. That hes a sense of secession human rights. And say hey argentina. And east and each one of the decisions all. I imagine that this Financial Aid for Civil Society in belarus would be part of the new framework for e. U. Relations with belarus that youre calling for what else would you like to say. Well there should be also maintain some kind of dialogue between you and donna is that there is a danger that it. Did is now a case about his will be. Stronger hands off. Russian federation so its a very difficult and gentle the situation is very so all we need and people we need to stand. European community and. I look. Out support you know how the other hand they want to happen so we. Knocked at wanley where seeing you know rest and recent yes nothing will change so maybe there should it sam he may need a high level. Dialogue between. Does do all institutions but there should be a. Great cooperation on the agenda perhaps today as well with the e. U. Foreign ministers mr patrol thank you for the so very much for coming in robert drang he chairs the e. U. Delegation for relations with belarus thank you so very much. Israel and the United Arab Emirates have agreed to the full normalization of relations under the u. S. Brokered deal israel will suspend plans to the next large parts of the occupied west bank u. S. President trump says the agreement will be signed at the white house and 3 weeks time for their part the palestinians have rejected the deal. By historic agreement the United Arab Emirates and israel 2 countries that never had any diplomatic relations until thursdays deal and idea was very clear that israel would commit a 3 way phone call with the United States do stopping and exceed suspending it. At the same time we will be able to also i know that we will begin what will what i would call a normal relationship with israel in the various various areas israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu greeted the deal as a huge step towards peace in the region well today we are sure in a new era of peace between israel and the are ruled this is the greatest advancement toward peace between israel and the our world in the last 26 years. But netanyahu specified that his an accession plans have not been outright cancelled present only put on a temporary hold. The agreement brokered by u. S. President donald trump over months of discussions is seen as an unprecedented reshaping of the political order in the middle east it comes as a diplomatic win for trump just as the Election Campaign in the u. S. Starts to heat up by uniting 2 of americas closest and most capable partners in the region something weve said could not be done this deal is a significant step towards building a more peaceful secure and prosperous middle east. But not everyone is satisfied with the agreement. The palestinian leadership dubbed the deal a betrayal and demanded its retraction of what the palestinian leadership affirms that neither the u. A. E. Nor any other party has the right to speak on behalf of the Palestinian People and does not allow anyone to interfere in Palestinian Affairs or report on their behalf in their legitimate rights to their homeland. Youre welcome as a round the world to the agreement is being hailed as a historic achievement the palestinians see themselves pushed to the sidelines. For more lets bring in robert hes the Deputy Editor of the german political magazine zenith which focuses on the middle east thanks for joining us this morning robert. A reshaping of the mideast political infrastructure can you tell us can you sketch out for us who the winners and who the losers are in this. Well at short term a lot of parties can feel like winners although i would not call this a historic shattering moment this has been in the making for quite some years and especially the emirates and israel have been developing relations for many years and that was one of the worst kept secrets of the region also Benyamin Netanyahu he visited on mon shortly before the death a conference preparing the socalled middle east peace plan was held and behind last year so a lot of steps lets to this now the timing is crucial here so why did this happen now and this is more the important question and who needs this strategic public victory right now. From the u. S. Yeah. The Israeli Government i think they can hand the short term victory to the u. S. Allies at the same time it was never really clear how much israel was prepared to follow through with these annexation plans and they have to keep in mind and brace for potentially different u. S. Administration coming in next year so calling it off temporarily looks like a good will gesture. Temporarily exactly. The same time is right did yeah let me ask you is the region more stable now as a result of this. Nothing really changed that much and israel basically did not commit to anything permanently and that will be a. Topic of contention because its not entirely clear of an agreement has been reached or if that agreement is to be reached in the get the negotiations to come and what part. Plants will play in this ok negotiations to come could we see a resurrection of the 2 state solution for pounced on. Well that depends on which parties are are in there and willing to actually move this forward i dont see really willingness on any part to do that basically its negotiations between israel and a bunch of the gulf arab states they have a lot of common interests even outside any u. S. Help so. They would have proceeded with this kind of negotiation negotiations anyway of the palestinian question briefly could you see other arab states joining in we have just couple seconds say yes or no. Yeah the argument on now is saudi arabia the u. A. E. Has clearly taken the forefront as the most important publicly visible l. I of the of the United States and just one last thing we have to Pay Attention to the main architect of this policy this is Mohamed Binns i had the crumpets of abu dhabi probably the most influential era political in our time hes stepping out of the shuttles step by step so keep a close look how hes behaving. Robert energy from zenith magazine here in germany thanks very much this is d w still to come on our show a giant of the german cinema at 75 has been venders 1st day what better way to celebrate the acclaimed filmmaker then the documentary about his winnings. But 1st in sports the Champions League quarter finals are underway leipzig has stunned the experts and beaten highly favored of let it go madrid 321221 rather to advance the semifinals they opened up the scoring in the 2nd half life 6 danny almost put the bulls ahead with a header in front of goal 20 minutes later a hard sell by closer mon provided athletico a chance from the spotless felix converted to levels of school life 6 winner came from substitute tyler adams just minutes before the end of the game adams becomes the 1st u. S. Mens player to score in a Champions League quarter final thanks for salt defense and horowitz at the end leipzig now advance to the semis to face p. S. G. Didnt use any may on the ground in lisbon for us a joins us now via skype good to see there and even in the city for a few days now whats the atmosphere like especially when a team like leipzig can produce such an upset. Yeah this brian is the story so far definitely leipsic you only formed 11 years ago they are very much the Underdog Team along with that so lance it would beat him by our essential man they are the story they often through so their 1st ever Champions League semifinal they were playing in their 1st quarter final so its an extraordinary story yulian noddles men their coach is actually younger than lee and now messi use hoping tonight to be going for a place him self in the semifinals of the competition i saw the game with some fans of sporting last night they are the Underdog Team of this city lisbon the capital of portugal behind the big rich a team of 10 feet or so the supporters of sporting in a very small bar near the stadium where the match took place the josie ill fill out their home they were very very happy at the end that leipsic have made it through to the last 4 of this competition its an extraordinary moment for them as they aim to become a german champion here and maybe well see byron as well perhaps doing the business later ok you mention byron thats another big game coming up is that byron against barcelona are fans showing up for this encounter at least on the street they cant go into the stadiums of course. The thing with barcelona is that they have fans in all cities all around the world messi has many supporters too so there arent many people who are actually travelling its less than not least because fans cant get into the stadiums but fans want to still be parts of of this festival of football but 1st have a Champions League tournament in a fortnight block so when barcelona were training last night at the a study 0 to loose there were supporters gathered round just hoping to catch a glimpse of some of the players that they love and weve got more on this night. Its not like there arent any fans in lisbon welcoming their favorites some were camped outside the Hotel Barcelona players are staying at supposedly the next best thing if you cant get into the stadium. Byron munich vs barcelona should be a celebration of soccer instead its a muted classic to be played behind closed doors it pits not just 2 great squads against each other but its also a meeting of superstars such as arguably the worlds greatest player barcelonas leonel messi purses the deadliest striker in europe this season byrons robert leaven dusty with 53. 00 goals to his credit including many of those scored in the Champions League. I have this level i dont think there are favorites. Yes we can count on having the best player in the world. But levon dosti has 13 goals in the Champions League this year. While he is so high on both teams that either one can wind up with it on that but it will not get. Will approach barcelona with the necessary respect well analyze them as we do with any other team we know our strengths and we will try to use them as much as we can on the 2 office who is all in this behind supplying it all comes down to this winning the coveted Champions League title this is a giant version of the cup which is set up in downtown lisbon where fans view as they are can come together and also watch the games on t. V. Set up by local restaurants. But this is where theyd really rather be at the study or deleuze inside. And the a study of the lives will be empty and the despite the exciting results weve seen already is the quality of the game suffering because of pandemic restrictions especially when you consider the worlds top stars are are playing in those empty stadiums. I think it definitely does them on the sports aspect the performances of the sides you look at lets go to madrid last night they all received the drip and thought that supports as they are certain extent as well a number dockside as well themselves behind that suit big c. In spain barcelona and real madrid so they really thrive on the noise the passion the excitement within a stadium so that would have affected them last night absolutely but look its its not an ideal scenario to have this football with fans but at least we get some football i think thats what we can say and he made for us in a very sunny very beautiful looking Lisbon Portugal for some great games still ahead andy thanks very much for being with us.
