Welsh businesses hit hard by the pendant back pandemic prepared to go back into lockdown. Sudan and israel have agreed to normalize relations in a deal brokered by the u. S. It makes sudan the third arab nation to set aside differences with israel. The foreign minister says it needs to be approved by the Transitional Council which is yet to be formed. President trump sealed the deal in a call with Benjamin Netanyahu and the sudanese Prime Minister. He told congress he is removing sudan from spates state sponsors of terrorism. Palestinians describe the decision as a new step in the back. Alan fisher is at the white house. He has more. This process has been ongoing. It started when mike pompeo came into the administration. What is clear is the Sudan Government decided it would pay 330 5 million in compensation to the u. S. , particularly to take care of the victims of the east African Embassy bombings in 1998 it and the attack on the uss cole in 2000. Also, the murder of a diplomat and sudan itself. That money went into the account. Donald trump said he was going to remove sudan as nations regarded as state sponsors of terrorism. That opens up a number of opportunities. Suddenly, sanctions get dropped. There are a couple of problems. It has to go to congress. They have 45 days of consultation. If there is a joint resolution, it will not go through. And then donald trump can put it in place. That means israel was able to forge some sort of deal. He is trying to do little deals here and there rather than like his predecessors one big piece deal. He believes doing those small deals changes the reality on the ground and therefore will help these and avoid expensive foreign wars. It also makes his election slightly more assured because he will be seen as a peacemaker. We have more on the israeli perspective. Regimen netanyahu has been talking about Benjamin Netanyahu has been talking about this. Saying it is peace for peace as opposed to peace for land given or any concession given to the palestinians. That is something the palestinian president emphasized, saying nobody should speak on behalf of the palestinians. The only way to a comprehensive and just peace was through the end of the occupation. As for the messaging coming from netanyahu, he is talking about the symbolism of this referring to the panarab agreement, a commitment in 1967. A recognition of israel, he is also trying to do a sales job to his own domestic constituency saying these agreements will make practical beneficial changes to their lives. The kiting kind of trading relationships will make the cost of living which is very high in israel less. It is worth noting the text of the agreement so far does not refer to the same kinds of things in the initial agreement. This is talking about trading relationships, starting with agriculture. No talk of embassies in either country. Heather morgan is in the sudanese capital. She says the latest development will be a major boost to the economy. It means an improvement in sudans economy. Maybe not immediately like the acting minister of finance said tuesday, following the announcement from President Trump he will be lifting sudan off the list, but they will expect Banking Systems to open internationally. They expect this would pave the way for them to basically get loans from the International Monetary fund and the world bank. It will help them be able to clear their debt of more than 60 billion. That is what the government is hoping to achieve. Of course, sudan cost Prime Minister has welcomed the steps. He welcomed the step the u. S. President took notifying congress to deal with sudan and the knicks 45 days. The Prime Minister has stated he is worried about taking such a step. It is a government, a coalition of various Political Parties with various ideologies and leanings. Lets bring in richard chaz the. He is a lecturer at George Washington university. This is the first african country to sign with israel. Is that significant in any way or is this a desperate move by a country in need of some cash . This is a winwin situation all the way around. Sudan has been faced with high unemployment. The listing makes sudan accessible to funds from the International Monetary fund world bank, other international investors. There has been a food crisis, horrible floods. This is horrible for sudan because of what has happened since left office. It is a way to prop up this council. It is extremely important for sudan. For israel, it is another feather in the cap which lowers the spiral of insecurity. With iran, israel and saudi arabia being a predominant threat. It boosts the domestic politics condition of Benjamin Netanyahu and puts pressure on the palestinians to come to terms. I think these recent developments in terms of normalization of relations with the uae, bahrain, and now with normalization of relations with sudan puts the pressure on a boom us in mock mood abbas to come to terms or risk being left behind. For the united states, of course, it helps to constrain iran with a bulwark of alliances. In terms of shortterm election prospects, this is the only feather in the cap trump can point to to highlight in terms of some substantive achievements over his presidency. Does anyone in the u. S. Actually care about relations between sudan and israel . Is trump actually winning any points . I think people care in terms of if they are strategic thinkers, thinking about a bulwark of connections that center around bahrain, the u. S. , and israel in terms of containment of iran. This certainly is not going to go unnoticed by rouhani in terms of what this portends in terms of some constraint on the part of iranian actions in pursuit of hegemony. Picking up on your point about how this puts pressure on the palestinians, what exactly can they do about this . I wouldnt be surprised over the next few days if there were a set of missile attacks coming from gaza into southern israel. I would, if i working of della king abdulla, i would be concerned about the pressures this puts in the palestinian population within jordan. Jordan is caught between a rock and a hard place. The palestinians within jordan. Palestinians within the occupied territories in the west bank. This poses some security concerns for king of della. Abdulla. It will require abdas to frame a set of negotiation points with the israelis. A lecturer at the department at George Washington university. After nearly a decade of bloodshed, libyas warring sides have agreed to a permanent seed fors fire cease fire. Between the government tripoli and its rivals. We have more. After five days of u. N. Hosted talks, a historic breakthrough. Libyas warring factions signing a National Cease fire. Today is a good day for the libyan people. At 1115 this morning, the two libyan delegations to the five plus five joint military commission talks signed a complete countrywide and permanent cease fire agreement with immediate effect. Under the terms, all foreign fighters are required to leave libya within three months. And a new joint police force will start patrolling disputed areas.

Backed government of National Accord led by the Prime Minister. They remain in tripoli, the countrys capital. They launched an offensive in tripoli, but were pushed back as forces received support from turkey. The u. N. , which has accused foreign parties of teen and embarked reaching an arms embargo, encourage them to stop interfering. While attempts at a cease fire failed in the past, this agreement has seen both sides agree to open air roots. There has to be some clear arrangements on the ground how it is going to be monitored and how it will be done independently. A mood of optimism they now exist, but the coming weeks and months will reveal whether this is a lasting peace. Still ahead, as the dust settles in the final debate, we examine whether it has changed the course of the u. S. Election race. Very cold air piling into parts of the u. S.

Our top stories, sudan is the latest country to agree on normalizing ties with israel under a deal normalized by President Trump. It is the latest deal with the uae and bahrain already signing up. Libyas rival factions have signed a permanent cease fire agreement. The pact which orders foreign fighters out of the country comes ahead of notable talks. It was signed in geneva after the downfall of a longtime leader. Unrest over Police Brutality is continuing in nigeria with gangs blocking major roads in lagos. Groups armed with sticks set fires as anger grew over a speech by the president. He has appealed for calm but failed to condemn the killing of at least 12 people protesting utility. The residents have been under a curfew since tuesday. The protest was good. There blocking the road. It is not what they are looking for. They make the arrangement and speak about what is happening. If you look at what is said, they talk endlessly. Not the right thing to do. Kill everybody. Not the right thing to do. It is 11 days until americans elect their next president. Donald trump and joe biden have had their final chance to sell their vision to the public. The two men traded blows over the coronavirus pandemic, racism, and corruption. We take a look at whether their final showdown is likely to change anything. This was widely seen as President Trumps last chance to change the trajectory of the race. Polls showed him losing to Vice President biden. His tone was more moderate although he made many misstatements. His rhetoric was still inflammatory, especially in immigration. We would say come back in two years, three years, we are going to give you a court case. When you say they come back, they do not come back, joe. Only the really i hate to say this those with the lowest iq, they might come back. Trumps own government says that is not true. More than half show up at court. Bollard biden calls the policies criminal. These kids came with parents. They separated them at the border to make it a disincentive to come. We are really tough, we are strong. It is not coyotes, their parents were with them. They got separated from their parents. It makes us the laughing stock and violates every notion of who we are as a nation. Biden did not escape the notion of fact checkers, either, and his exchange in big oil has captioned attention. I would transition from the oil industry. That is a big statement. In a race where most voters have already made up their minds, and tens of millions have already voted, the backandforth on immigration could hit home. I think it probably did perhaps do something more to the people in the margins who may have voted for him because of partisan identification, but not because they necessarily cared for the man or his policy. I think those people are perhaps the most persuadable at this moment but we do not know until the election is called. At this debate watch party, the issue resonated. About the children in cages, i think it is very wrong to lock up kids and keep them from their families. A likely will not cost support from his base. Clocks a lot of those questions are geared, they try to act as if Race Relations have been flipped upside down. This debate made it clear who and what he is. As the clock kicks down and votes are cast each day. Lets go to our correspondent in miami, florida. Florida a critical state. He has been targeting the politically powerful senior vote there. He has been at the villages, a community that has long been known as a very conservative area. He is essentially on home ground, talking to people who like him. He spent most of the speech friday evening making that claim that this country is just around the corner from recovering from coronavirus. I reports that there were 80,000 cases friday. That is more than there has ever been before. It is easier to name the states that are not seen spikes. At this point in time, this close to the election, i am not sure whether these rallies are changing anyones mind. 55 million americans have already voted by mailing in a ballot or going to vote in person. The president is not laying out any policies for the future. He is talking to people who he knows will vote for him. Saying he has created the greatest economy. The biggest untruth is this nation is just around the corner and all of this is going to go away. Joe biden has been getting into the they degrees of the policies he would enact. Saying when it comes to the coronavirus, he would mandate mask wearing. When the vaccine does eventually come along, some point in the middle of next year, he would make it free. Donald trump insisting covid19 is disappearing. He is very much pushing that line in recent days, despite that continued surge in cases. Are they interested to know, how is it going down in places where he is now. Where people are more vulnerable. If the polls are correct. He is losing support among older voters. This is the biggest battleground state in the entire country. Trump simply must win florida. There are other pass for joe biden to win. For the president , this is a vital state. Those other people that have been hardest hit by the covid virus. We know those figures have been around for eight months. There cant have been many people that have not been affected by covid19. I am not sure, when he talks about how we are just around the corner, that is going down with perhaps undecided or swing voters. Those are the people he needs the most at this point. So soon before the election. Thank you, andy gallagher. 11 days to go until americans elect their next president. Numbers of covid19 infections are rising fast. In the u. K. , which reported another 20,000 cases, and 224 deaths friday. This is more than 3 Million People were put under a 17 day total lockdown in wales. The restrictions been people meeting anyone outside of their households. From the welsh capital, paul britton reports. This lobby should be full. It is not going to be. It is scary times. Just a stones throw from the National Rugby stadium, the hotel should have turned over 3 million. Instead, the manager feels like he is in a long, dark tunnel with no light at the end of it. Such a buzz kill. You would have six or seven staff on site. We are down to 14, half of the staff have been furloughed and been made redundant. Wales has the lowest infection rate of any of the four nations of the u. K. Acting on the recommendations of scientific advisors, they are ditching lockdowns in favor of a fire break.

Residents are being urged to stayathome as much as possible. Restaurants, pubs, and nonessential shops must close. Chest out it is one of the communities that straddle the border. The likely cost of this fire break lockdown is estimated at 650 million. That is a big ask in a town such as this, so close to the relative freedom on the other set of the border with england. The government estimates not locking down could cost 6000 lives. I live in the welsh side. My daughters live in the english side. This is very much our farewell breakfast for the next two weeks. We are not going to be seeing each other. Will financial penalties that start at around 75 be enough to deter people from escaping . Escaping no one is escaping from anywhere. They might go for a stroll. At the root of all this is the need to protect the finite resources of waless hospitals and their staff. I found one of my colleagues in tears. We split our unit back to a covid unit and a noncovid unit. We could envision what winter is going to be like. Diverging from the local and regional lockdowns referred elsewhere in the u. K. And europe, the welsh are acting early and hoping to reap the benefits. With the full impact in terms of jobs and infection rates, only emerging two weeks or more, it is a real test of nerve.
