a deal and aimed at ending nearly 2 decades of conflict rebel groups in sudan signed a peace agreement with the transitional government. once hailed as a hero now arrested over accusations of terrorism detains the man who saved many lives during the 1994 genocide. and pulling the plug on dissent we speak to 2 sound engineers from baton rouge who had to flee their country after playing an anti russian song and protest. to the school the 1st to this grand slam a book or wrote about his pandemic gets underway in new york with a woman who will never talk about to take to the court of the u.s. but. we begin this hour and in lebanon where mr dave has been named as prime minister designate and will now form a new government a former ambassador to germany one support from several parties and food in the future movement on the shia block hezbollah in aqaba has all the latest from the capital. he was not well known to the public until now most of a db has been chosen to form lebanon's next government the former ambassador to germany is promising change at a time of deep crisis where we will choose a ministerial team with expertise and competency will also carry out quick reforms that will put the country on the path to recovery and end the dangerous financial economic and social bleeding. got the majority of votes during parliamentary consultations the post has reserved for a son a muslim in the country sectarian based governing system that is why support from former prime minister assad to head e.d. hill heads the largest sunni bloc was essential to maintain national unity factions from a divided political landscape came together before the arrival of french president a man while mccall. the country needs to embrace the initiative of president macron because the french president is working with the international community to lift lebanon from underneath the rubble mccall returns to beirut less than a month after visiting the lebanese capital 2 days after the devastating port explosion he has become a main power broker in the political crisis leading efforts to persuade politicians to fight state corruption and push through reforms needed for an international monetary fund bailout plan. for. france. or has. for the next. lebanon needs billions of dollars to rebuild what was destroyed in the port blast and billions more to revive an economy that has been run to the ground unlike his predecessor has done yeah but resigned in the aftermath of the august. for explosion has the support from the majority of political forces but like a db could be held hostage by a political establishment that has been reluctant to carry out a state of reforms that could threaten their interests but this time they may have little choice the state is close to collapse and the international community says there won't be blank checks in the words of the new prime minister lebanon doesn't have time and this may be its last opportunity to save itself senator there as his leader beirut well let's not speak to rami hariri he's a journalism professor at the american university of beirut and also a senior fellow at the harvard kennedy school he joins us now from new york rami was stuff a deal up until now he's not exactly been a household name and lebanon what kind of a man is he and why him well his prime minister because he's not very well known at all and we don't know what kind of a man hears of that that he's a very distinguished culture decent fellow who has served the various public service capacities in the universities and the military think back at one point and look. he sort of with the prime minister and one point. he doesn't have a public real record. and he grew. traction there so that's why he was appointed because he's a clean slate. people who appointed him were just the 4 sunday prime minister's recent prime ministers or millionaires so that. he would be the one who could quell the popular uprising and make some changes and get the country back on track that's a bit of a gamble and the public doesn't really. that doesn't really have a lot of faith in this kind of decision making that's why they've been out on the street for a year protesting because they don't want decisions like this made in closed doors between a few millionaire men they want to start to be vested in the citizenry and were probably see a lot of conversation to this aren't there until the new prime minister showed just what it is he's actually going to do i did want to ask you about that rami because before the coronavirus pandemic before the port explosion what does feel like a very long time ago as you say there were these very vocal enormous protests demanding the reform of the whole the entire political system and and then no makram on his way to lebanon shortly he's also called for pretty much the same in this clearly isn't that is he going to be able to push reform through. you know we just don't know because the critical elements which are 3 what is his bulles position what's the position of the popular uprising in the streets which is probably a majority of the citizens and what kind of government will he name with what kind of policies and what mandate will they get from parliament those 3 other critical elements that will define whether this new prime minister is a success or the government can make the kind of changes that the lebanese desperately need the international community wants in order to provide tons of billions of dollars of aid in investment and those are totally unknown and this is one of the reasons again why there's millions of people who've been in and out of the streets demonstrating because they don't want to live in a world where their fate is decided by a few men and in a closed room every few years while the country continues to collapse economically environmentally politically and socially so we'll just have to wait and see and i think any reasonable person has to feel that well let's see what this new fellow's all about and what kind of government those who know him the chances are not 0 that he will succeed but they're not very high either given the tradition of prime ministers being named them caused rooms without any popular participation life and have lots of talent as a head running corey there always great to speak to here on out there thanks for being with us again. now sudan's transitional government has signed a peace deal aimed at ending nearly 20 years of conflict they remain was reached with various rebel groups neighboring south sudan media said that deal reports from the sudanese capital. nearly a year after the start of talks to dance transitional government and the opposition coalition the sudanese revolutionary front are signing a peace deal the administration made ending conflict across an extent priority and it's hoped this will help achieve it in the city on the promise of the me we are glad that we managed to achieve a milestone regarding achieving peace in sudan we know there are other factions better yes to sign and we hope there will be another ranch negotiate with these groups peace is the most important thing we have for the decisional period and without it all the talks about democratic concision economic developments is not possible so we see this as a 1st step to the dance incision leading up to this deal agreements have been signed by other groups that make up the sudanese revolutionary front each are presenting a different region in sudan the groups some armed oppose the previous government of ahmed bashir who was overthrown in april last year they say their regions have long been marginalized the new deal will give a role in the transitional government and hand over more power to local governments it also paves the way for the formation of a transitional legislative assembly the deal mediated by south sudan would also restarts the dance of 39 month transitional period imo we affirm the commitment of south sudan and sudan's journey to peace because sudan peace is south sudan's peace there are still 2 more groups that are yet to sign a deal and we will continue on the issue of peace until there is a comprehensive peace in sudan we don't want any more war in dar for negotiations to end the conflict in the western region of darfur has taken the longest the war there began in 2003 and has resulted in the deaths of 300000 people and the displacement of 2000000 the forces of the armed groups will be integrated into the sudanese army reparable. will be paid to those affected by the conflict and those displaced will be allowed to return home and in a fair not a biomed we've been in these camps since 2004 now we want the conflict again so we can go back to our harvest into our own sister a home but we've not been properly consulted on the deal that's taking place all represented and so we concerned it may not hold. the deal is not the 1st attempt at peace in sudan's conflict zones but sudan's transitional government and the sudanese revolutionary front say this time there's a political will to make it last people morgan out of their own hearts home. while sudan's transitional government has signed a peace deal aimed at ending nearly 20 years of conflict as well as saying that agreement was reached with various rebel groups but we've also spoken to cinnamon belzer he's a certainly as affairs analyst and also the former director of this or done fast the sudan democracy fast group i'm sorry he says there's still some way to go to achieve peace that women implementation would require a lot of resources but she doesn't have because of a chronic and worsening economic crisis threatening instability in the country become a crisis and we need it by increasing tensions between the military component of. their cabinet which are trying to place all the resources of the country and the sovereign oversight of the ministry of finance while the richer establishment is considerable economic clout it is denying access rejecting acceptance of oversight of the government of their resources and therefore sudan has yet to address a lot of issues in order to be able to implement this agreement and to earn the trust of the international community to show that there will be influx of for sources to enable them to additional organ aquarius. a man who hid and protected hundreds of people during the 19041 genocide has now been arrested on terror charges poorest as a beginner i was detained abroad he'd been living in exile he's accused of forming and leading what for one donald artie's call terrorist movements which has a beginning a one multiple human rights awards for saving lives during the genocide an estimated 800000 rwandans were killed there in 100 days his role was celebrated in the 2004 film hotel rwanda and our correspondent malcolm webb is across all of this from the kenyan capital nairobi he says government critics like poor set up again are not tolerated in rwanda hollywood does he said betrayed him as a hero but rwanda's investigation bureau has said today that he's been arrested and he's been charged with funding terrorist groups and organizing attacks within rwanda from abroad now it's made these kinds of allegations against him for many years was back in there during the genocide in 1904 when he was widely reported to have protected hundreds of ethnic to seize in an international hotel where he was the manager at the time 12 years after that he published a book criticizing the government of president paul kagame in rwanda saying that it favored a small ethnic tutsi elite and was marginalizing the hutu majority the kinds of ethnic divisions and marginalization that with the events in the previous decades to the genocide he said these kind of things were still going on and that led to a public feud between him and president paul kagame he also accused wonder's government of denying and covering up the massacres of ethnic hutus that took place at the same time he said that no one's been held to account for these event now it's certainly not uncommon for these kinds of views are very rarely tolerated really tolerated in rwanda rich. well let's now speak to nicol upon that she's an expert on trans transitional justice in rwanda and is also a senior lecturer in criminal law at king's college london too joins us on skype from that nikka thanks for being with us this is really quite the statement by the rwandan government and by poor gummy indeed i mean pull rusesabagina is a hugely controversial figure inside of rwanda today so his status as as risk here or in 1904 has has been contested by a range of act as inside of the country including some of the genocide. in the middle colleen which is which is being searched famously known as hotel rwanda but i think what's key is that this is a wrist comes at a time with it being a large number of international arrest warrants that have been enacted in a range of countries against rwanda diaspora so this is the 3rd high profile arist in the last 3 months as you say a number of high profile arrests he was arrested in another country we're not sure yet which one and then repatriated to rwanda that's obviously cooperation with the 2nd country he's been living in exile for so long why are we seeing this now. i think what we're seeing is a growing international support for the rwandan government in getting. in executing international arrest warrants that they're issuing and i think it's also important to note that in this case resistivity now is not being charged with any allegation of involvement in the $994.00 genocide against the tootsie but rather he's being alleged to have connections with f l a in which is an armed group opposed to the rwandan government and based in the eastern democratic republic of congo and burundi and it's this group that's alleged to have attacked and killed one instead as citizens in the south of the country in 2008 and is being described by the rwandan government as the armed wing offices and but you know as political grouping the m.r.c. t. which is the rwandan movement for democratic change these allegations of a support for these groups in these neighboring countries not only iran standen in the d.l.c. but author in a number of other places how they just met all day. i think they're a very legitimate concerns that there is organized andras assistance to the current regime in rwanda and so i think that these that this organization is real to the extent to which this is a biggie you know has been involved in this i couldn't comment but i think this is this is a real aspect of how. political order is currently being arranged as you say nic larry says he began to has always had political ambitions of his own and he launched his own political party sometime back how has all of that played into things here especially when it comes to his rivalry with kagami. i think the key question here is the extent to which this is a biggie you know it was a moderate in 1904 and as i say that has been contested and the extent to which this there is still space and opportunity for moderate and engaged political dialogue inside of rwanda. they're an expert on transitional justice and rwanda great to get your thoughts here on out there thanks for being with us michael. well there's plenty more ahead for you on this news hour. opposition supporters celebration montenegro after a child's dispute brings a surprise election results plus. i'm

arrived in the united arab emirates from israel on the 1st commercial flight between those 2 nations krisna is joined by an israeli delegation that visit follows a u.s. brokered deal between israel and the u.a.e. to normalize relations and all yet to be formalized but palestinians have denounced that deal saying it betrays their rights. we can't want peace more than they want peace and so when they are ready the whole region is very excited to help lift them up and move them forward but they can't be stuck in the past they have to they have to come to the table they have to figure out how do we do something that benefits everybody and allow everyone to move forward so again peace will be ready for them an opportunity will be ready for them as soon as they're ready to embrace it now al-jazeera senior political analyst mark on the shar explains how the move could further impact the palestinian population. i would love is rushing to make a deal with that because things the israelis have a lot of clout in washington and they think the united is better than the right bit if biden is elected president and insists on returning to the new the iranian nuclear deal the palestinians think it's a betrayal we could say effectuating it is a traitor in the sense that despite the p r stunts and the b.s. that come from abu dhabi about trying to help the palestinians not an exemption it's sort of an open standoff and everyone knows that behind the scenes of what that we have been here have been coordinating have been sharing intelligence have been working out though i ask and the last thing on their mind is the palestinians and we also saw that from that the new house response to the overtures will be having not mention that as he has a lot if anything it is that then you know who the last several weeks have been telling the israeli peace council that's call that the moderates or the centrist in israel that they were wrong all along that israel does not have to go see anything to the arabs or to the palestinians in order for israel the normalize relations with other countries and i would not be proven to be a whole correct he who right in the sense that it has entered into a relationship by then and alliance with israel. while not even being any attention to that issue why britain away from the arab consensus that said look we will go in my lives relations with israel but only after israel withdraws from palestinian arab lands and recognizes the palestinian rights to be free people in their own home. now montenegro is really in party has narrowly won the parliamentary election there so that's its worst result since the country won independence from serbia 14 years ago the pro western party of president of it secured 35 percent of votes but the proserpina opposition party trailed behind with 32 percent that means it could still form a government if it can reach consensus with montenegro's 2 other opposition parties well for more on all of this let's go live to. have i'm sorry about. montenegro's capital yvonne as people were voting yesterday you and i were talking about just how montenegro is now the most divided it's ever been we've certainly seen that in the results can you break them down for us. this country's sharply divided with clearly visible even after these elections your earlier mentioned the celebrations in the street or montenegro or capitol police or last night we saw people celebrating at the streets waving mostly with serbian flags just a few of them holds hold montenegro flag the part of the society is very silent but most important thing right now is that situation is quiet calm despite all those fears that some incidents could broke when it comes to the results of these elections there are 3 main opposition blocks which needs to go into further cooperation to create in order to create a new government those 3 together have a very narrow majority in montenegro parliament with just one hand more than the other bloc as. those 3 opposition bloc have only one thing in common and that's a wish to change the government told their issues could be very problem
