The United Arab Emirates in bahrain today agreed to normalize relations with israel a deal brokered by the us President Donald Trump no trump and these 3 middle east countries they tried to project a picture of the normality that they want us to see a picture of a middle east minus human rights abuses and minus the Israeli Palestinian problem and a picture minus the pandemic notice all them into signing the agreement today they gladly wore the mantle of peace not one of them wore a face mask im burnt off in berlin this is the day. The biggest optimists were shocked when they heard about this transaction israel doesnt realize that all its enjoying the greatest diplomatic triumph of its history after all of these years david really gets tired of war. At each and has suffered far too long we have many countries any original in your part of the world that will be very quickly setting up oh so. Now we can do it even with more days this could really lead to peace real peace in the middle east for the 1st. Also coming up a german chancellor Angela Merkel today marked 70 years of the Central Council of jews in this country she added 7 decades since the shoah antisemitism remains its a new sun its a disgrace and a deep shame for me how racism and antisemitism are expressed in our country in this day and age. To our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all the around the world welcome we begin the day with an agreement that will bring a greater sense of normality to the middle east its promise of peace in the region that is yet to be proven today at the white house the United Arab Emirates bahrain and israel signed an agreement to normalize relations it marks a major stride in improving commercial cultural and education times among the countries but referring to the agreement as a peace deal would be a mischaracterization relations between israel the u. A. E. And bahrain have not been hostile u. S. President trump referred to the u. A. E. Today as a great warring nation but they have not been at war with israel and todays agreement provided an opportunity for israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu to return a favor to President Trump in the run up to the last 2 israeli elections trump announced major u. S. Policy changes all positive for netanyahu now with the u. S. Election just weeks away and with trump trailing in the polls netanyahu has paid a visit to washington to present damo trump as a friend to israel and to peace here is the u. S. President. Where this afternoon to change the course of history after decades of division and conflict we mark the dawn of a new middle east thanks to the great courage of the leaders of these 3 countries we take a major stride toward a future in which people of all faiths and backgrounds live together in peace and prosperity. In his you know his entire history there previously been only 2 such agreements now we have achieved 2 in a single month and there are more to follow. Our i want to bring in now read by Mark Schneider he was at the signing ceremony at the white house rabbi schneier is known as the rabbi to the muslim world hes a special advisor to keeping him on bin hes al khalifa of bahrain rabbi schneier he joins me on the phone tonight and welcome back to the day rabbi what does todays what does todays signing ceremony what does it change in the middle east oh i think its an extraordinary transformation because unlike have entire Peace Agreement too little its all about opportunity particularly in the realm of economic. Disinform or should how many gulf leaders have you expressed to me of these fast for years now with our resources and wealth and israel trained closer and for solving that you gather we could develop the most powerful economic reaching in the world so i believe economics you know is a very strong engine thats driving this process its called the 19 need to be a Regional Response the controversy over israel possibly and in the west bank and im running them behind inter much progress today chief state solution here and of course how they have to eventually challenge and threat the ongoing threat coming from iran and the power light but i do believe the gulf states are looking she is prone to must step in and she become in the center and protector i am sure there are a whole series of speech here about a new law and we celebrate that yes when you and i spoke last month you said that these agreements or even 3 for the palestinians and that they mean that there will be discussions about a 2 state solution there were no palestinian representatives at the white house today. Well its no different than the white house fans going to the conference and boss brain last chance after the keys to prosperity conference there are those of us including myself who believe that the road actually is really saying reconciliation must go through economics then the gulf states today acknowledge they have skin in the game theyre going to have to bring a sense of Economic Opportunities some harm in the hope to the Palestinian People zax can really be the engine that could bring about this kind of reconciliation israel with disagreement has normalized ties with 2 arab countries that do not want to answer claims about Human Rights Violations within their own borders let me ask you as a man of faith what did the jewish state sacrifice in order to win or to reach new states have normal relations with the u. A. E. In bahrain i dont think. Theres any you know ive been in the region now for more than 12 years and i have stains the matter to matter improvement on the human rights front in terms of how the different rulers here are conducting themselves in terms of their own off relations so i think. You know a journey about sort of continuing to grow and develop to the Promised Land of a. Genuine last and to democracy in that region well as that Development Takes place im sure we will be talking with you again we hope so rabbi Mark Schneider joining us tonight from washington d. C. Rabbi thank you my pleasure thank you israeli relations with bahrain and the u. A. E. Are already good some observers a days agreement is a defective confirmation of what has been happening for years is there more to the deal in the eyes of israelis our jerusalem correspondent tonya kramer takes a look in this report. The 1st commercial flight from tel aviv to abu dhabi a long isolation period for israel and the region has ended until now it only has signed peace treaties with egypt and jordan in August Israel normalize ties with the United Arab Emirates the hain followed a month later brokered by the u. S. It cygnus a change of alliances in the region for us it creates a much stronger sunnis really alliance against iran against the shiite axis which is very important if we look at american elections in november when we have a democratic candidate that declares that they want to go back to the Previous Nuclear deal with iran. Such an alliance of israeli and sunni nations in the middle east is extremely important what this doesnt solve this is a conflict with the palestinians the u. S. Has insisted that it was suspends its plans to annex parts of the occupied west bank at least temporarily but the deal breaks with the public position of our countries to refrain from normalizing relations with israel until it ends its occupation over millions of palestinians in tel aviv the mood among israelis is mixed as people prepare for a nationwide lockdown so your own its excellent i opened a school for arabic i did it to promote peace and now is think it is a little more important than whether there should the probably perish i think there is damage its only for political interests for bibi for trump and also the u. A. E. Because of arms of good relations with the us they dont really care about us making a family bangali i got to tell you the column called up about it i think its more needed to deal with many problems we have here that have to do with a lockdown. And more political problems the country is very unstable and theres a lot to take care of before dealing with external issues or lifting shame because some. The agreements as seen as a huge achievement for a Prime MinisterBinyamin Netanyahu but as he faces a corruption trial and is under fire for his poor handling of the pandemic there are also red piece of good news are evil for a different perspective the view from europe and like to pull in christiane hundreds hes the senior middle east expert and germanys beryls been sound asian mr hollande is good to have you on the day at the white house today it was all about israel the u. A. E. Bahrain and the United States as the broker noticeably absent were the palestinians what about the europeans the europeans are not present in this deal making policy of trump easy the middle east trump has a totally different strategic approach to change new trends in the middle east its without institutions like the e. U. It says it ignores un resolutions or International Agreements or even the quartet which is the mediation mechanism to get the Palestinian Conflict with a footnote brant kerry and foreign minister was present that was the footnote of people who not ok that was the european there in the room what do you make of claims that these deals. Motivated by fears of iran in that the u. S. Has torpedoed the Iran Nuclear Deal which the e. U. Has tried to save so todays agreement it almost comes at the expense of europe. Look germany germany has the e. U. Presidency and in germany there are 3 issues this new trends of the middle east on the table the one is the German Government is relieved the hold of an extension of that into territorys use very little of it has been achieved they hope that with the u. A. E. A special that there will be a drive to. Understanding there is a window of opportunity what is told here in berlin on the other hand that because europe is that in the forthcoming running election in the us that. Confrontation could be just further escalation already next monday theys again a fight on the United StatesUnited NationsSecurity Council on the iranian issue so that is still an issue of concern is it likely that other countries are going to follow what weve seen today have insulted arabia saying tonight that it is sticking by the plans of the arab world that 1st there has to be a resolution to the palestinian israeli problem before any other deals can be made. There is a paradigm shift since the Arab Peace Initiative from 200002 which said all 22. 00 arab states to wait for palestinian state before were normalizing with israel this is now changing more arab countries would like to go into more strong relations with the us and with israel and this is mainly driven by strong economic and technological. Wishes you know that especially the countries in the gulf once one. Or. Late. Country they see their economic links much more with the u. S. And with israel in order to get their country forward you know the states in in the gulf region they will have they can defend less on oil export in the future they need to look for new business and Employment Opportunities and this has these new Political Trends that is with more cooperation with innovative countries like israel and the u. S. Let me ask you about todays developments maybe through the eyes of the german chancellor Angela Merkel she has said that israels security is a central tenet of german policy now when you hear that i would assume that berlin must be pleased by the developments today because these developments are helping to stabilize israel and its security. Gemini and and europe have in all recent years always trying to push more cooperation between israel and its arab neighbors and trying to get the palestinian issue schools. This always goes together and and there and we also share the same concerns about the uranium threat to where its towards israel and arab countries in the region the approach is different the american approach the iranian threat is maximum pressure and said you know when we are when i am reelected iran will come and make a deal with me in 30 days the europeans and others at the United NationsSecurity Council think it has to go within me with an agreement and. By. Indiana in order to get iraq back into. A back. In the region im going to have a minute here want to ask you what happens next year when the german chancellor steps down when when i go america is no longer in charge what happens to europe or germany in europes support for israel any change no there is no change in that you know all governments. By the social democrats or by greens or by our or by conservative parties if there is a broad understanding. About the security of israel. And peace and development in the middle east i even observe that there will be more engagement also driven by germany and france to foster Modernization Development in the mediterranean and in the southern neighborhood and to read to get a conflict in the region souls all right christiane with germanys bevels when Foundation Mr holmes we appreciate your time in your insights tonight thank you its a pleasure talking to you don. They were sobering a warming yet not surprising words today german chancellor Angela Merkel said that many jews living in germany today do not feel safe and she cautioned that antisemitism in germany has never disappear merkel spoke today at a ceremony marking the 70th anniversary of the Central Council of jews in germany the organization was created in the wake of the holocaust and has been a driving force in revitalizing jewish lives and culture here injure. A day of remembrance 70 years since the founding of the Central Council of jews in germany which since then has promoted the revival of jewish communities and culture in the country today theyre going to zation represents the interests of more than 100000 members across the country. A role that was celebrated by german chancellor Angela Merkel who expressed her admiration for the strength of the jews who stayed in germany after the atrocities committed by the nazi regime but the chancellor also warned about the rising threat of antisemitism in the country its a. Its a disgrace and a deep shame for me how racism and antisemitism are expressed in our country in this day and age it is true that racism and antisemitism never disappeared but for some time now they have been more visible and uninhibited. With no. Insults threats or conspiracy theories are openly directed against jewish citizens. Social media is literally oozing expressions of hatred and harassment. We must never remain silent on this months. Last years attack on a synagogue in the city of hala where right wing extremists set out to commit a massacre made the threat faced by jews in germany even clearer. Violent anti semitic crimes have grown by 20 percent over the last 2 decades perpetrators are mostly right wing extremists. This by this the president of the Central Council of jews said his community was ready to place its trust in germany but he added that this trust must not be betrayed. Your trust is valuable as ever for germanys Jewish Community id like to pull in a man who can speak to this with authority and credibility rabbi daniel alter became one of the 1st german trained rabbis following this show he was also the antisemitism commissioner of berlins Jewish Community for 3 years or my alter welcome to the day its good to have you with us tonight 70 years of the Central Council of jews in germany 7 decades and the german chancellor says that fear among jews and antisemitism in society have not disappear is there any way to to take this into spin it in a positive light. At the 1st chance not really i that it depends on what kind of pan am it rebuilt with in the German Society. Its really important to have that time from merkel as our friend and being supportive of us. If we want any positive solution of the. Antisemitic crisis we have in germany then we need to fool support of the last majority of the German Society and currently do not at. The head of the Central Council of jews in germany says that the Jewish Community in syncing a growing feeling of. Do you think he could have or he should have chosen stronger words to describe the situation no i think. Its important to stay at calm and balanced theres no point in choosing big and strong words i mean political ecological critical it aware of the effect that we are dealing with a number of wise percentage wise concerning antisemitism with a huge and substantial problem and that on the im not very happy with the idea of using big and Strong Language we need to work on that but we need to keep calm and we need to find proper ways to express ourselves and this doesnt he and he and he in loud and forward sounding paroles need chancellor spoke of shame the rise of antisemitism in the country is germanys Political Leadership is it doing enough to fight this antisemitism. I wish i could say foolhardy yes but. Im not overly happy with some of the developments to give you an example already in 2 south and trial of that was a huge inquiry about the situation about the numbers and percentages of antisemitism are spread it is a society and that the end of the inquiry there where also the experts also gave several recommendations how the problem could be tackled one of the recommendations was that dealing with antisemitism should be a part of what teachers experience in their own education and their training to become a teacher now that has not been implemented implemented to my extent of knowledge in any german state yet he said and then that issue like the education of the teacher is not a federal issue its. The various germans and none of the states to my extent of knowledge has implemented that to up to today and thats 8 years ago thats 8 last last years and the states where our governor by basically all parties which are present in the in the stock so. I see a lack of. A lack of. Detriment nation on the political side i want to ask you something about your own personal story you were the victim of an antisemitic attack here in berlin 8 years ago. How has that incident how was it shaped the way you live and as a jewish person in germany. In my specific case that the result was that. d that i started to deal with these issues that i started to move myself in combat ing antisemitism that i also had the reaction on that and what myself more and interface style and. Basically i said i want to combat that i want to fight that but im not a soldier and i can im not a street fighting man or anything like that my way to fight goes through common occasion education discussion going to school so i did that a lot and. Yeah what that does with the significant change i took an active combat in antisemitism is your due to what i experienced i wasnt traumatized or else and my children were not traumatized pervy because i got a huge support from the wider German Society which also played an Important Role in being able to do that probably did it make you have a stronger conviction in your faith no. I bought. It it gave me a strong recovery in the mississippi to fight through take up a political fight to get standard of jews but there was not all i dont know how to put that properly but they had no spiritual impact on let me put it this way. Rabbi daniel alterable i its been very very enlightening talking with you we appreciate you being so honest with us tonight thank you for your time thank you for having good buy.

The horrors of Long Distance livestock transport swiss farmers are on the hunt for alternatives. We head to mexico to find out how Indigenous People are coping with the coronavirus. But 1st sound of farewell how the pandemic is stamping out brazilian street culture. Musicians stopped playing stage curtains fell. And the lights went out in the worlds movie theaters the pandemic has been disastrous for the arts across the world with cinemas closed the global Film Industry alone is set to lose billions in 2020. Brazil is among the 3 countries hardest hit by the pandemic with barely any commissions around for artists and musicians many no longer have an income more than 830000. 00 jobs in brazils Creative Industries around the stretch. An important part of life is at risk of disappearing completely. I thought was. My teens is a somber sensation his music is full of energy and life. Everyone in Rio De Janeiro knows hes here to lend us the month or. So i started. But things are quiet in rio these days jamal still plays his songs but the summer parties have stopped. And theres no audience and no applause and no one that you can enter it. Into a dialogue with so that they become part of somebodys lives from the crowds every part of the show singing clapping together in. Korea was one of the 1st places in brazil to be hit by the corona virus it spread rapidly through the poorer neighborhoods off of a less. The death toll is continuing to climb those who can stay at home. Normally it would be crowded out here this bar used to hold parties but thats over theyre all home now in their own cages. And these cages have only served to deepen brazils social divide music and dance play a key role in society here bringing people together from ovals of life. There are huge differences in Brazilian Society but the small bars and the beach are the 2 places where those class differences disappear the lockdown is meant that people are keeping more to themselves with the intermingling which has always been part of rio has been lost. To their work. The extreme inequality is another reason why the lock down never really worked in rio the city has numerous Cultural Centers may be deserted the concert halls bars cinemas and theaters shut but the narrow streets of the old town are full of people who have to go to work during the emergency aid provided by the state is not enough for artists to live on either instead of rehearsing you are now goes to the supermarket his wife cooks meals which he then delivers to the delight and surprise of the customers. More manono. One girl wrote i cant believe its all my teens just delivered my dinner i wrote back yes hes my husband she said she nearly had a heart attack and shes a huge fan of his thats how it goes thanks to him im selling more food. Holly and shes have also had to find a new way of earning money a street crossing now serves as they stage the red light signals curtain up for the 2 circus artists they then demonstrate a brief glimpse of best skills and hope to get a small donation before their audience drives the why. I. Love it. When i see the cars i imagine lots of chairs and im putting on a show i smile at them even though sometimes i cant see their faces and even though im just at the traffic light i imagine that im in the circus arena. And. On a good day they smiles and acrobatics well and then the equivalent of just under 10 years. They could look for more lucrative work but their performances here also Service Training sessions which they want to keep up with the hope that they can later return to the circus and. We can look for a job as waiters for example because that would be bad for our career this is our dream so we keep going is this song im sorry to be here didnt you get a country mali. A few years ago they fled from venezuela now their fight for survival is continuing here but its not only artists who are suffering during the pandemic brazilian culture is in crisis mode its always been very much a grassroots phenomenon but now faces a threat from the very top. Believes the real problem is not the coronavirus itself but brazils president. Since coming to office last year he slashed funding for the arts and made it a political issue it has nothing to do with the brazil that we love the indigenous black brazil with the rich culture that has created so much beauty its almost like they want to destroy that at all cost and. This is joe says his country is in the midst of a culture war and that byrons has robbed him of his voice his ability to respond effectively using his summer he hopes he can bring his music back to the people of rio soon. Just like in the old days. Cities that crowded hectic loud. And yet they held an almost magical appeal 500 cities worldwide base more than a 1000000 residents by 2030 around 7600000000 people are likely to live in urban areas most of the global population but they could be a change in the air a shift towards a slower pace of life with infection rates on the rise in cities ruled regions again in a pail. The clay is cold and malleable both mother and daughter are skilled in the art of pottery margarito learned it from her grandmother. She said as long as we live here we belong to the soil we work the earth and she gives us the food we need to survive and this clay also comes from the earth we have no roots here was a star most. Most. It only takes earth and fire to create all the new parts and dishes lined up here. Its the rainy season and the weather is unpredictable. What if we get heavy rain though all our work will be lost. The family is almost so sufficient. They grow almost everything they need. Or they find it in nature grasshoppers are full of protein. The seasons bring variety and there is seldom much of a surplus. For margarito living in harmony with nature means giving and only taking back a little while there must come we dont need a lot to live we have to respect nature but she should only give us what we really need we shouldnt exploit nature that. The garden offers a little home apothecary theres an herb for stomach aches a plant that reduces fever one morning and one that really sore eyes. Where you needed a bit then drip it into your eyes. While people in the city worry how to survive and make ends meet during the pandemic life here goes on much as normal many in the isolated valleys of southwestern mexico live like mother rita and her family in a close relationship with the land these people are poor their traditional way of life is tough but their independence and lack of close contact with the modern world might be considered a strength in the current situation. Gregorio is about to go and visit her sister and so her pottery its an hours walk that doesnt bother her but shes not too happy about leaving her animals alone she has a strong bond with them. I think there has to be a balance between people and animals. Its not about dominating them. We have to respect their lives. Could be gordie a sister is waiting for her dimitri has been thinking a lot about people animals and the environment especially now during the pandemic shes curious about modern life and the wider world. That raised. Me do people out there also feel joy when they see animals run and play they play a lot of course can also do a kind of handstand do you ever see that. Or when alls fights or when they play you dont see that either do you. Know. Demetrius is shocked to hear how animals live on factory farms him ethic imagine if people had to live like the animals all crammed together how do you feel the gas and video. Dimitri i once visited mexico city she recalls all the concrete cars and trash she says should be life changes people just see and took a look at that everyone rushes about and seem so agitated they dont get any exercise walk anywhere or enjoy the scenery they push a button for everything and ride escalators. But have the best let us evict. Only meet here on special occasions perhaps once every few months after all hands provide eggs and should not be sacrificed lightly and their offspring take time to grow and reach maturity demetrius sees value in some kinds of progress and says she could use some here but wouldnt a step back to nature be a step forward now. Look at that we have to take care of the world around us this is an opportunity to think about things we shouldnt exploit her and use nature so badly. Dimitri is also a potter and businesswoman she and her neighbors Work Together today their pottery is being picked up to be taken to the cities and sold me demetrius sr gregorio has arrived now to their workers in demand because its not mass produced but handmade from a natural material. This is important but we can all learn from their way of life and their way of thinking maybe the world is ready for that now and the need of it. The weather has been kind to margarita and her family the rain has held off jugs pots bulls all fresh out of the kiln there decorated with splashes of dye made from oak bark. Traditional crafts a remote location harmony with nature a winning recipe perhaps for getting from the current global crisis.
