With bahrain and the United Arab Emirates establishing diplomatic relations President Trump says theyre just the 1st of many such deals to come. Our brian todd this could have you with us today japan has a new Prime Minister here shahid asuka has been formally elected after a vote in parliament he replaces the outgoing Prime Minister shinzo abbay who resigned earlier this month for Health Reasons suga is expected to stick closely to the policies championed by his predecessor. So what can japan and the world expect from suger the man now at the helm of the worlds 3rd biggest economy heres a brief look. Yoshida sukar may look like a traditional politician in a suit but theres more to him than meets the eye. For the last 8 years he occupied the powerful position of chief cabinet secretary. As such he was diffracted a number 2 there are they and the key enforcer of government policy. As part of his effort to secure the top job he vowed to stick to those policies presenting himself as a safe pair of hands at a time of upheaval when not if you are not a great i mean women in order to overcome the crisis and give the japanese people a sense of relief and allow them to lead stable lives we need to succeed in what Prime Minister abbott has been implementing this is my mission to the matrix that put a good new york hes not seen as a flamboyant or passionate person often described instead as someone who operates behind the scenes. Hes also said to be a pragmatist rather than an idealist or with some critics lamenting what they fear could be a lack of vision on his part. But in one respect he stands out for most other japanese lawmakers he does not come from an elite political family he grew up in a rural part of the country as a son of a strawberry farmer and has now worked his way to the countrys top elected position. For the very latest lets go straight to tokyo and journalist organ for all was a danger organ suger has promised to continue his predecessors economic policies what exactly would that mean for japan. Well mr super chose in other words safe hands to continue with legacy because japan is now struggling with economic and strategic challenges mr sewell said he would work on bringing the current virus under control and get the economy back on its feet he plans to form the Health System and the Health Ministry because the agencies responsible for the pandemic handling of the pandemic were very good are correct and criticised as being actually not even communicating with each other with testing and tracing problems so he wants to inform that he also has plans for a new agency to coordinate this digital policy he wants to consolidate as smaller regional banks to create several larger banking corporations and also hes a big supporter of competition and he wants to cut the mobile phone rates from its current levels to open arms industry to the price competition ok reforming at all levels domestically is a big list on his hands there what about in terms of Foreign Policy japan is among those nations in the region very concerned about chinas muscle flexing what is his Foreign Policy going to look like. Well. This is one area he might miss just to go might struggle only because his expertise is in domestic politics now and he admitted that he needs to learn a lot from mr abbott in terms of diplomacy because mr on the visit it almost 80 countries during his 8 years he did a lot of personal relationships with donald trump and playing golf with them so it will take time for mr sundar to develop this kind of intimacy and with relations with south korea north korea china its going to take some time and theres also the olympics of course next year. So having said that historys to go seems to want to continue this legacy because he kept mr montagu the currents minister of Foreign Affairs and so he looks like he will depend on his bureaucrats to carry on his work ok its all about stability that sort of sounding like what will he be able to deliver the kind of stability the nations looking for. Were all going to see but hes a unifier lets not forget that there were some other names as candidates in this race and none of them got the strong. Corporation and collaboration and support that mystery super achieved now of course there are some other issues with his selection being. Supported by these strong factions which is a very important thing in japanese politics but i think with the strong support from the political at least from his own party it looks like he may be able to yes succeed even when in this one year tour that hes given as what i would call a caretaker Prime Minister thanks so much for that from tokyo. Thank you. The Israeli Army Says it has struck hamas targets in the gaza strip early on wednesday the bombings are an apparent retaliation for rockets fired from the hamas controlled territory the previous evening now the rockets were launched as israel the United Arab Emirates and bahrain signed accords in washington to normalize diplomatic relations u. S. Present dollars from posting at white house ceremony placing himself in the role of International Peacemaker peacemaker other ahead of elections in november thank you very much the decision by the United Arab Emirates and bahrain to normalize ties with israel breaks decades of consensus within the arab world a peace deal with the palestinians has long been upheld as a prerequisite for establishing relations with israel. And trump and netanyahu are hopeful though that all the arab nations will follow suit creating a major shift in ties in the region. And the blessings of the peace we make today will be enormous 1st because this peace will eventually expand to include other arab states and old timidly it can and the arab israeli conflict once and for all. But the agreements do not address the core conflict between israel and the palestinians bahrains foreign minister also made it clear that it was too early to celebrate a just comprehensive and during 2 state solution to the palestinian israeli conflict will be the foundation the good rock of such peace. In the palestinian territories the new agreements have been met with anger. Morning sirens sounded as several rockets fired from the gaza strip hit israeli territory. Hundreds rallied in the occupied west bank and the gaza strip. Really all this agreement today is an agreement that betrays the palestinian cause and stops the Palestinian People and this iraq raimi an agreement is a withdrawal from the Arab Initiative on the arab unison with the new world order we say merkels normalization and this normalization is a betrayal of the trail to the palestinian cause and pan arab ism of course the Palestinian People denounce this agreement and the palestinian leadership has made it clear that only israels withdrawal from the occupied territories can bring peace but as israel and gaza again Exchange File that seems as far away a goal as ever. And President Trump says he now expects other arab states to also normalize relations with israel we put that to correspond. In washington. Well certainly trump and netanyahu are hoping for this and promising this that there will be a domino effect throughout the arab world trump said earlier today that a handful of other nations are deep into talks already we dont know yet which countries he was referring to but certainly many eyes right now on saudi arabia but there is little indication from riyadh that theyll take up a different position than the long standing arab stance that they wont recognize israel without statehood for the palestinians but it is certainly not worthy that the saudis likely gave bahrain the green light to proceed with their deal today.
