We just completed a truly historic flight. The message that we carry for the palestinians is also one of hope your little guys that it is very painful for us today when the news really plane lands in the emirates we put an offer to their leadership on the table that will enable them to have a state and selfdetermination know how you know we salute the position of some arab states who are against normalization with israel. We cant want peace more than they want peace it cant be stuck in the past they have to they have to come to the table. Also on the day lebanons president has asked a career diplomat to become the countrys next Prime Minister but some of the streets of beirut think the new man is part of the problem.

The 1st have a commercial passenger flight from israel to the United Arab Emirates has landed in abu dhabi from tel aviv on board with top israeli and u. S. Officials including President TrumpSenior Advisor and son of jared caution a historic flight comes 3 weeks after is rather u. A. E. Established diplomatic ties and a u. S. Brokered deal to many residents of both countries agreement to means they can finally bring their business and personal relationships into the open. Down of them here these are unusual days for mark the jewish Israeli Palestinian businessman from his small office in jerusalem and through travel he has been doing business with the United Arab Emirates for several years but always under the radar the countries had no diplomatic relations until recently as a 1st step phone lines were officially established but right now my friends its call me for the fun of it hey man i wired on the call it got i just heard in the news that we could call it sort of the rectally communication. Is something we humans are known for civilization requires communication and Work Together. I really praise that wonderful great vision of this country you know theyre very much. Facilitates the certification of hell and crucial projects between. Its owners on coal to the emirates for years people had to use for him providers or the internet to connect the lever is. Going to. Be. Great just imagine the deal breaks with the long held view among arab countries that normalizing ties would only come after israel and its military occupation of the palestinian territories in israel there have been a lot of firsts in the past days 1st direct interviews with and the rotty officials like here a t. V. Channel 13 tell of the reporters were sent immediately to upper darby and israeli news sites that reportedly unplugged in the emirates you know what is amazing normally in those cases it takes time but now everything is on the table relationship embassies flight stories and everything is moving very fast we can phone the emirates we can go there we can every interview is there only egypt and jordan have signed peace treaties with israel in the past one hopes that this new agreement will go beyond business and Security Matters i suspect that this will be a war more peace than the relationship with jordan there was never about blood there was never wars there was never any misunderstanding or political disagreement there rect between us and the United Arab Emirates or anybody in the gulf for that reason so im really optimistic view arab countries have signaled that they might consider following the u. N. In this move it could effectively be shaped in map of the 9 says the region. So how big a deal is they stand now is professor of middle east studies and International Affairs at Johns Hopkins university he joins us from washington d. C. Welcome to day to. Start with the point that we heard at the end of that report how likely do you think. Countries are to follow suit. Not immediately at least not in the way that the Trump Administration would like for them to be in washington in september for a signing ceremony and the reason is that other countries dont necessarily have. Already the relationships that you and he had with israel they dont have necessarily the incentives that u. A. E. Has for signing the deal at this point in time and also most of them have much larger populations that they have to listen to the u. A. E. Has a very small indigenous population and it can contain any kind of adverse reaction that the population may have had the leaderships move at this point in time very successfully other countries dont have that calculation but but nevertheless i do think it creates momentum for additional countries to come forward over talks. So you could it was i suppose the question has to be asked whats in it for them what you know what shifted abu dhabi from the long held arab position the relations with israel could only be no lies once israel ends its occupation of the palestinian territories i dont think this was ever set in the manner in which now the administration is putting it. A new way had pretty much normalized relations with israel over several years there were meeting of intelligence officials military officials there was business relationships its just that he was not completely out out in the open. Right so this wasnt towards israel because it has an. Im sorry line for moving towards israel because. Because 1st of all they have warnings about iran they have worries about turkey you know hes a very small country is looking for israeli support against iran and against turkey u. A. E. As sees itself as a modernizing developing country that sees israel as a mark and not so as a result it has been building these relations with israel the reason why you can make that recognition right now at this point in time i think has a large measure to do with coming in american elections so the Trump Administrations put a lot of pressure for this to happen now so president trauma can claim a victory and also u. A. E. Has been very close to trump and would like to basically be have something to show that the democrats if they come back into power that it is on the right side and it has built relations with israel and protect itself in what might be adverse reaction in congress if the Trump Administration were to lose the election ok so the palestinians have talked about still in terms of being a stop in the bath and the betrayal where does this leave them because they must be wondering well who else is next. Well you know the palestinians have not been at the center of middle east politics for some time you know the region has been focused on civil wars in iraq in syria in libya on i says you know palestinians have for a while been an afterthought and in fact the region did not react when the u. S. Embassy was moved from tel aviv to jerusalem they have not reacted to news of an extension they did not react to news of the United States recognizing annexation of the go on hikes and so in a way. This is already been happening for a while and it just shows that the palestinians or the palestinian issue has lost its hold on arab politics and that arabs are making Strategic Decisions based on larger issues like their confrontation with iran and turkey like the balance of power in the region and as a result this is this is really reflects the shifting reality in the region and supposedly the just look at the u. S. And if this did you do you think that the President Trump is going to get a lot of credit for this still and called press. Not in congress. He definitely would like to claim some kind of a diplomatic success he doesnt have much to show up for. Was unable to bring iran to the table for negotiations he doesnt have it deal with north korea so this is something that he wants to show that hes successful with but what is really is particularly very popular with evangelical voters within the Republican Party and that obviously will it will play very well with them and also hes hoping that it will impact the jewish vote as well and so its not so much in terms of. You know how much coverage hes going to get on a daily basis in the u. S. Thats not likely to happen but that. At least he will have some kind of it important Foreign Policy to tout during the election understand thank you for that professor professor nasa from Johns Hopkins university. I was on a today to meet the president of the republic michel who informed me of the decision of the legislators in the binding consultations to designate me to form the new lebanese government. I thanked him and the legislators for their confidence we prayed to court to enable us to form a new government as soon as possible before. They get lost mr deaves well having got the job lebanons Prime Minister designate that went out onto the streets of the capital beirut to talk to the people and get an idea of the scale of the job facing. Were nothing can xpress words fail to describe this horrific scene and. I hope we can join hands as soon as possible to rebuild what has been destroyed by this explosion somewhere that awful we will try as soon as the government is formed to speed up the investigation. And to have the investigations result made public as soon as possible yes i was going. To tell us way they must do more to help people people want to go home many have moved in with their families its hard we were already suffering Economic Hardship this is not the. This will be our 1st priority im here to say thank god you are safe and we are here for you and i am one of you and hopefully we will Work Together and form a government as soon as possible in order to start working immediately and i didnt believe we should fall off the truck. We dont need you we have the revolution we are the revolution. Its well lets look at the scale of the job facing the stuff i did. Did from because with no welcome to the studio im out Prime Minister of lebanon sounds like a job that can only and in failure not only does he have to make sure the various clans and villages and sectarian affiliations feel like theyre getting what theyre entitled to but he also has to bear in mind the desires of the bigger regional powers like iran and saudi arabia. If the regional powers hadnt approved tempi wouldnt got to the to where he is today there was definitely some sort of agreement among the regional powers through their through their tools and Political Parties in lebanon that allowed for naming. As the Prime Minister designate it even though we havent yet heard any reactions from regional powers like saudi arabia or iran. Or weve heard from there from the Political Parties backed by either saudi arabia or iran in lebanon who named. Him the Prime Minister designate today he has to definitely to go through a lot of a lot of dirty water and. His new mission and some say some of the say its a Suicide Mission that hes that hes taken what can he change and he said it himself that its a short chance for levanon its a small chance he will either make it or not the question is what will he do and how will he might actually lets lets lets just stop all that question and talk about the issue of change will listen 1st to the lebanese president michel i would say in the countrys entire political structure needs to be for me to turn it into a secular state hes part of his speech and something its. Time to think of a new way of coexisting. Or a new consensus lebanons youth a calling for change. Their voices are everywhere calling for a change to the system so should we listen to them. These young people are the future of lebanon so for best sake and the sake of their future i say yes the time has come. Now how. Did. This at the outset this looks like you should be a great job because the political elite wants change the people want change but we know that the people within the political establishment the clans and the religious sects is a mentioned earlier are they really going to allow much change which is likely to diminish their power by choosing someone from that exact establishment its highly doubtful that any real change will come oh its. Daves relations are very powerful within the system he might be he might look right now as someone who has never heard of but he has been an advisor to to one of the previous Prime Ministers of lebanon as evening contis been his political advisor has been a number so there are 2 germany since 2013 and we all know the power and importance of germany as european country and International Politics but also has good relations with the french his wife is french herself and hes on good terms with french diplomats so given all that context he is he is parts of that establishment how could someone from inside the establishment can bring any change that could jeopardize the existence of such a power sharing formula one a wow so that this sounds like youre saying that nothings really going to change its highly doubtful that anything will drastically change there are calls for reforms and thats what the various lebanese components agreed upon and also based on the upon the quest. Of many donors and supporters specifically european donors to lebanon such as france and weve all seen the arrival of money on mccrone just this evening to bedo its and his main message was lets do lets change lets have some reforms the government should have a Clear Mission he didnt specify what that Clear Mission is but reforms and changes on the top priority lets get at it because what you have in lebanon is a country that was in economic meltdown before the pandemic aids now the new Prime Minister has to deal with the disasters of the economy on the pandemic and the aftermath of this beirut airport explosion so where should he starts the reports came out today by coincidence probably by the world bank assessing giving a 1st assessment of the major losses and money needed to rebuild beirut the number the estimated number has ranged between 8000000000 dollars and 10000000000 dollars and this report issued by the world bank was also done in accordance or and collaboration with the United Nations and the European Union this huge amount of money is needed to reform beirut and this way for income or this money in order to rebuild with comes with a clear agenda a freeform in the country a country that has been already dealing with economy crises and append demick where will that money come from very briefly and very briefly where where will that money come from and upon which agenda will this money be dealt with ok m l m l d im from did a bit arabic thank you so much thank you so much for having me. Chance of im going to machall has condemned as shameful an attempt by the far right to storm the German Parliament here but it thinks really struggled through police lodge during a larger value against the governments pandemic policies johnson natl says those who try to access the building abuse the right to demonstrate peacefully a condemnation has been echoed by leaders from across the political spectrum. It looks like a normal monday in central berlin the tourists are back the price tag is open for visitors again but the scenes of unrest at the weekend are on many peoples minds. Saturday evening far right extremists pushed through police lines to the top of that i stuck steps. Just pictures that my generation just isnt familiar with. These people stand for different values and to see that also here in germany there are so many people who think differently and have different values that pains me. To. Stand the demonstrators shouted resistance. And veers into us folk we are the people. The black white and red are the colors of the old imperial german right used now by neo nazis in front of that i stuck it makes for shocking symbolism. Other demonstrators who filled berlin at the weekend and consisted largely of peaceful coronavirus skeptics were no longer the center of attention. 6 policemen and women were invited to the official residence of the german president frank photo steinmeyer thanked them and their colleagues for their composed reaction at the weekend and had a message to the demonstrators mine 1st and in that of a door my empathy ends where demonstrators let themselves be instrumentalist by enemies of democracy and by political agitators. They often. If you close ranks with right wing extremists in the streets or even if you just walk side by side with new nazis then of folks and anti semites if you dont distance yourself clearly and proactively youre on their side. An accusation that corona skeptics have rejected in a heated discussion with journalists they insisted the far right where a fringe group and that the organizers had indeed distanced themselves. According to polls the vast majority of germans support the governments anti corona measures. Thats also the message angloamerican spokesman had. Merged i dont want to thank the vast majority of the 83000000 people in this country all those who behave in a reasonable prudent and respectful manner and adhere to the rules in this pandemic even if thats not always easy. The coronas skeptics are making plans for their next demonstration observers will be watching to see whether they succeed in distancing themselves from far right groups more clearly. It was a joel doll roy can tell a small while to juggle so least started of course with a demonstration against coronavirus restrictions that did seem to be a lot of people there is this resistance to the governments coronavirus measures widespread well the numbers are quite impressive 38000. 00 people were estimated to be at saturdays demonstration thats almost twice as many as were estimated to be at the last demonstration resort about a month ago so there does seem to be this growing number however they still are in the minority in germany the latest opinion polls show about 90 percent of germans are actually against these coronavirus skeptic demonstrations and are supportive of the governments measures to control the coronavirus and those measures are actually quite lenient when you consider whats going on in other countries and here in germany schools are back in session public life is generally resumed and you can go out in the restaurants of full i actually had some guests visiting here on the weekend who came here from spain because they said they wanted to enjoy a bit more of nightlife and so forth and i dont think we should be encouraging that but thats whats going on so the measures here are quite large in comparison there isnt that much to complain about the majority of germans are supportive of what the government is doing to control the coronavirus mission so these demonstrations although they are quite vocal they are still in the minority it is interesting when you look around the world pandemic control measures have become politically charged nowhere most of course in the United States i mean the case here in germany is that a particular policy leading what you might call the anti masking charge well what people were so upset about on the weekend when that group stormed the steps of the reichstag and waved those flags was that seemed to be an affront an attack on germany germany system of democracy which of course if you want to have your voice heard inside the parliament is supposed to get elected to go in there and raise your points now this movement has not yet got that kind of democratic legitimacy there is one party that is trying to position itself close to these with demonstrations and that is the alternative for germany here. They have the passion now the leaders of that party actually call for people to take part in these demonstrations the flags of the party have been seen waving on the streets as part of these protests but it hasnt really translated to electoral success for the as the as of yet their polling numbers have not about start as a result of that movement in fact theyve dipped down slightly since the last election and its Angela MerkelsChristian Democrats Party that has actually gone ahead in the polls another sign that while this movement is loud is vocal it can mobilize people it has not yet gotten any kind of legitimate to democratic support and the startling pictures that we saw a of these people trying to break into the reichstag being held back by by police at one stage as they they reach the doors of the building just to look like just replace offices one of whom didnt even have a helmet is how is that Police Operation being viewed as a success since nobody actually did manage to break in or a failure well the individual Police Officer involved are getting a lot of praise we remember those scenes that you saw you talking about that one Police Officer who took off his helmet and deal with the crowd to get back down off the streets theyre really being held up as heroes they were invited to meet the president of germany today and some politicians have suggested that they should be bestowed these civil medal of honor in recognition of their services however the Police Service police force in general and that response has been heavily criticized the way that they mobilized against this demonstration it seemed to be rather disorganized former Police Officers who led demonstrations in berlin have come out saying that theyve never seen such a disorganized response to a demonstration for example at one point they tried to block the street marches which forced people to come closer together which is the opposite of what they were trying to achieve in terms of of social distancing and one thing of the other really stands out is the policing numbers its a sign that the police force seem to not take this demonstration very seriously and underestimated the potential for far right. Members to be infiltrating the what was going on there is this a lot of focus on left wing extremism in the German Police force ill give you an example the last major lessing demonstration in bowen was the 1st of may demonstration which was around 5000 people to pot and that had 2000 officers on the streets on saturday we had certain 8000 protesters and only 3000 police are a few in number so it shows that theres a.
