But to discuss the latest developments lets bring in a bridge of s. K. A professor at the paris based national is the chief of languages and eastern civilizations welcome to the program is great to have you with us so they use moved quick with this conference sanctions are you surprised. No im not surprised i think descension are not very doctor saw it means dont care or discussion was in European Union because they are in a difficult situation because on what. They would like of course some political journey changes in their rooms but in the same guy they dont want to. Serve their east towards russia and even know the reason why they did actually but a moment they didnt decide to darry hard sanction like they decided to work other cant. Say well what do you expect the sponsors to target. Would target apparently leaders of belarus but its rather symbolical because actually. Leader of that i was wrong for you western country and which one want to have to station relation with the western countries not very important acting told a moment for sanctions they are talking about are mostly symbolic and not really profound we will see how the situation will change but for the moment its. Most western countries and especially i think germany wants to have the negotiation was as told to. Change beds and not to not to go that route. So if thats taxes that are symbolic then is there something that there is wont be worried about what kind of reaction do you expect. I stated. Better as i dont hold to look i should go riyadh but actually i think that well be ready to negotiate with western countries much easier for a human will be to negotiate. To negotiate with the opposition developers in opposition. To a certain extent i think he needs to discuss with. Person in europe are demanding everyone else the election how likely to think that is and i rerun of the election i think its likely. Or its difficult to decide substring because its a question of dorothy a look i should go pretend he wont be election and i actually difficult to know exactly what happened but if you if you decide to make a new election then he said an official who recalled nation that he was lying and he cannot do so new elections for example the moment i think its not as a. Solution will be some compromise the government some National Unity government so until a dog but the problem is that the opposition has no Political Program except. They would all want to have a new question go but we dont know what is their Political Program what is their economy good Program Worth is their social program so theyre not ready in fact to. Rise. The us theyve already dismissed sundays election calling it neither free nor fat 7 do they may have enough grounds for such craves. But apparently you know its not. That in better we can we can think of an action are not completely impartial and completely free but i doubt that the opposition is saying doubt new caution and call not as direction is it is right i think. Quite a lot of. People but not the majority but of course thats my impression. I dont i have no way to. Verify how do elections was carried on and your way no doubt. He was invited to do better and didnt call. During the election so its hardly a lot of. Foreign countries see if the date of the election can be cannot be trusted. The president of lithuania or the lamia his challenge to mr laicus i think is legitimacy as president and he also expressed fears the country may end up as part of russia what do you make of his concern and how rare is it. Of course to do problem i think belarus is of course an independent state and will stay as an independent states but the question. Is. Be rather going into direction of eurasia which russia of course or rather with the western countries of course you question go along to be rather nuclear between east and west and apparently no use in the physicians to situation with. Chance. Of course or lead to where you know it would be very. Would be. On the. And independent can only be. Seen as do your position is very western and that cannot be an acceptable because. Its used. In moscow cannot accept. Would be a nato member so the question is is it about to be realistic is the question that is. Belarus most. Countries. Western country or you do when you know of course its important. To come in. Between you know to me doing you is linked with that network. Their position is. That of s. K. Professor at the paris based national is the choice of languages and of civilizations thank you for your time. The United Arab Emirates and israel have struck a peace accord the deal brokered by washington will see israel whole to square spike the next asian plants. Happy the israeli Prime Minister said annexation is not completely off the table. Sure sure there is no change in my plan to implement our sovereignty in judeo and somalia in full coordination with the United States im committed to it its still on the table. Palestinian leadership rejects what the United Arab Emirates has done and considers it a betrayal of jerusalem and the palestinian cause nevertheless the scale of more pain now reports sunday believes that its another player in the middle east which lies at the true heart of this new accord. Israel and the United Arab Emirates have formally agreed to establish diplomatic ties now many see this as a historic move as for many years arab states have not recognized israel as a country this is a monumental step to forging ties of cooperation in the middle east Donald Trumps supporters say he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for arranging this but the palestinians arent exactly thrilled with duce new arrangement the deal between. United arab emirates and israel is a betrayal of the palestinians given the historic. Relationship that israel has had with the arab states in other words no peace. According to the old formula no peace was possible until the palestinian issue was resolved in the past the mission is not result the Palestinian Authority is now formally withdrawing its envoy from the United Arab Emirates they say recognizing a country that is occupying them is simply unacceptable now in the diplomatic fallout of this deal were starting to see what this is really all about aside from the u. A. E. Israel and the United States there is a 4th country that is now showing up in a lot of the conversation surrounding the deal iran peace between the arabs and the israelis is in rome as well as nightmare no one has done more to intensify the conflict between the arabs and the israelis of iran what we see today is a new middle east the trend lines a very different today and we see the future is very much in the gulf and with israel and the post is with the Iranian Regime it clings to power on the basis of brute force. Iran often labeled as israels largest regional opponent has denounced the deal the Islamic Republic of iran is confident that history will show that this was a mistake made by israel and this dagger that has been unjustly thrust by the United Arab Emirates into the backs of the Palestinian People and all muslims will lead to strengthening resistance and the unity of the muslim people against israel as well as fuel confrontation in the region when donald trump visited saudi arabia he spoke of building an arab nato that would work as a coalition in the region opposing iran and fighting terrorism and it seems now this your story deals being revealed not so much to be about getting recognition for israel or protecting palestinians from an accession but about targeting one of washingtons most longstanding opponents in the region there is definitely the pattern isnt toward iran and i think the timing is ideal given whats happening in beirut. The fact that hezbollah is now under pressure in lebanon with the government having. Resigned there so we have a Coalition Building disagreement rather than easing tensions in the gulf within the arab states will. Harden stances continue to maintain the antagonism that we have. A. Process rounding up its military presence in the Eastern Mediterranean thats off to talk to began all and Gas Exploration in disputed waters that paris says is deployment is only a temporary measure but its predictions with ankara already strained with more his solid to ski. President matt corn has signaled that the along as tensions continue to rise between greece and turkey the situation in the Eastern Mediterranean is worrying 2 keys unilateral decisions on Oil Exploration are causing tensions these must stop in order for a peaceful dialogue between neighboring and nato allies to take place but this seemingly didnt stop the french president from reinforcing frances military presence in the mediterranean its confirmed paris will send to ref a and fighter jets and the naval frigate lafayette a move welcomed by the greek Prime Minister i think president mccrone for his cell a dirty Emanuel Mccraw is a true friend of greece but also a fervent defender of European Values and International Law the greek pm bill this as an act of solidarity but you only have to scratch the surface to see that there is more going on here in recent months cross has also found itself clashing with turkey in the mediterranean. These past few days we have seen turkish warships deliver syrian mercenaries to libyan soil this is a serious and explicit in french moment of what was agreed upon in berlin i must reiterate the prerequisite for any political solution in libya is the cancellation of this document but with that incident still rushing from his mind it appears to have been keen to show solidarity with a fellow member in this case greece last month macko an even cooler for sanctions against turkey over these purported violations in the Eastern Mediterranean now the arrival of turkeys new seismic civvy vessel the school the attention of the e. U. The latest developments rick stream the worrying what is needed to be done is to engage in solving all the open issue. With principles of good neighborly Relations International and positive engagement with fronts now bolstering its military might to aid greeces plight who are east is perhaps their feeling in bold and its place its military on high alert recalling naval and air force personnel from their holidays turkey for its part says it will protect its rights toys and interests in coastal areas and with fronts now wading into the spot turkeys president is accused of provoking regional players into taking wrongful steps there is concern that this action by fronts rather than defeating the situation could in fact escalate it challenged even skate r. T. Paris. Still to come this friday students in germany have inadvertently been funding the radical anti fergie activist group via their tuition see its all follow the money off the brake. When i was trophy wrong why dont people just dont call. Me lol if you have to shape out these days to come after him and in detroit equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. No no crowd. No shots. Action. No one. Point show your thirst for action. Welcome back the massive explosion last week in beirut destroyed much of the city and locals have been left trying to pick up the pace is not just of the status of buildings but also their lives one local Fashion Designer shot his story. Like i was always so happy we do facing the court i always sort is very artistic and inspiring because its industrially enriching details how everything is rates look at the destruction the wreckage i dont how much time it would take to be rebuilt. There are no words to describe it my team and a feeling that we could but thing going to be really low if you will no one was time to leave this building 10 minutes before the blast hit and think going through the most her expense the most important thing. The work of 20 years was destroyed in mere seconds it was because of this tuesday explosion which went up just across the street. Smaller this is another challenge for us who we can get our hands on phones to rebuild they say there will be compensation but thats not certain and this isnt something we used to 11 and i hope we can get compensation to rebuild. This american thinking of coming up with a new collection inspired by this very heartbreaking incident. Really picking up the pieces i really need to come out with a collection inspired by beirut the suffering of beirut. Students in germany have been funding the controversial activist group anti far without even knowing it it has come to light that part of the tuition fees paid to Cologne University have been going to the group think this piece all of our ports. The antique fascist organization and tea for have received a lot of press in 2020 with even the president of the United States chime in the United States of america will be designating and as a terrorist organization here in germany they havent received that type of criticism but there is a controversy surrounding the gifts of University Students fees from cologne to go towards a contribution to the group for the 2020 to 21. 00 winter semester each student at the university of cologne pays 280. 00 euro and 0. 95 for 205. 00 euro and 0. 95 goes to the Student Council thats meant to pay the transport discounting workers salary and for the departments work out of the 10000000. 00 euro the council will take in around 8 and a half 1000 will be paid to the Student Branch antics. Cake its delicate because while. Demonized here the way they are in the us a report by germanys internal Security Service that house some pretty strong things to say about a cake and the groups its associated with conservative student groups in a not so happy that they have to contribute to a case without choice it shouldnt be that every student has to subsidize a group that has been classified as extremist by the office for the protection of the constitution we regularly demand that the funding of n. T. For a k. Be cut the majority of students who spoke to said they had absolutely no problem paying a contribution to our k. I dont know how much the payment is but im sure it is not enough and it should be higher i think its good because its important to something. Deeply is dealing with many board and social issues and theyre less you know ended and well being i think its a good idea to go and. I think it does make sense and i think it is important and why political spectrum is represented here and he no problem that it is fine and from the student piece a k. Has received funding from students at the university of cologne since it was set up 15 years ago neither the student body that doles out the funding nor the students themselves see any reason why that should change any time soon but while the name continues to be mentioned in trembling tones by those in power the group may find themselves coming under more scrutiny.
