a hollywood movie a critic of rwanda us president is arrested on terror charges. fellow venezuela's president has pardoning more than 100 of his political opponents ahead of parliamentary elections in december the government says this is a goodwill gesture but nicolas maduro his move is widely seen as an attempt to boost protests a patient in the vote the u.s. backed opposition leader has already said he's boycotting the elections because of concerns about cheating and human rights groups in venezuela say around $330.00 political prisoners are being held in the country let's get an update from our latin america editor assume and she's following developments from chile she's joining us from santiago hyla c.s.o. talk us through the timing and the significance of this decision. well everything about this has to do with the upcoming parliamentary elections which are due to be held in december as you mentioned opposition lawyer who was recognized as the interim president by over 50 countries has announced that he and most of his supporters will boycott that election and he has called on all of the opposition parties to join him in a united front to do that so clearly the response from president is to make what is to agree to one of the main demands of the opposition and has long been one and that is the release of the political prisoners however this is not enough to convince certainly why the law and probably many of the other opposition parties to to actually take part in this election which is incredibly important for president nicolas maduro he needs it so that he could it could be recognized as legitimate there's no point in having an election that you win but with no opponents taking part so that is what this is about even even russia and china are pressuring last minute to hold on lections that would at least bring on board some of the internationally recognized mainstream opposition and not just those who are called opponents but who are really under the pay or the control of the government itself so let's see if indeed this is them a concession could this be the 1st of more to come. it may be but it's this is really going to be clarified i think before the end of this week the government decided to lengthen the period to extend the period where candidates for this selection can register until this friday because the the registration period had already closed and why the law on the other hand who had given the opposition party leaders until friday also to decide whether or not to boycott the election is now at this hour we understand negotiating with in the league at that pretty list which is one of the major opposition figures of venezuela who are twice presidential candidate who almost once beat my little at the polls and he is apparently wanting to take part in those elections because he believes it's better to be to take part in in this sort of a poll to be a part of the game even if it's an uneven playing field than to just hand over the election lock stock and barrel to the government so that it can control absolutely every seat in the parliament and so that's what's being negotiated as far as i speak with you and how much more the government is willing to concede we don't know but we know one of the key thing president president bungler is apparently not willing to concede one thing and that is the control of the electoral council and that is he controls it in apparently he will not allow the opposition to have that all right thank you for that update from santiago now hamas says it's reached an agreement with israel to and the latest escalation of violence along the israel gaza border the deal brokered by qatar comes as gaza struggles under a ban on few of them ever raise which have led to power cuts harry fostered has more details from west jerusalem. well it's all coming from the hamas side which is typical in these sorts of situations israel tends not to say anything about these announcements of the escalations or cease fires but according to israeli media there are israeli defense sources who are confirming what hamas is saying at least to the extent that there is an agreement what hamas says about this agreement is that it will stop its century balloon launches an explosive balloon launches as well as that the what it calls its nighttime confusion operations were groups go along the border fence and throw explosives and cause disruption and in return it says that israel is undertaking to go back to the previous collation situation which means allowing fisherman out into the mediterranean again from gaza's ports easing the restrictions of goods coming in which had been closed down just to humanitarian goods and food and medicine and also presumably the recent restoration of fuel supplies to gaza only power station which has been lying idle for some 10 days now since the fuel supplies were cut off meaning that gaza only has about 3 to 4 hours of electricity per day and as you say they are also battling this corona virus outbreak the 1st community coronavirus outbreak since the start of the pandemic so these various things seem to have conspired to try to quell the situation as it stands with the mediation of the qatari and boy. let's speak to her again the he's a senior fellow and director of the program on palestine and palestinian israeli affairs for the middle east institute he is joining us from arlington that's and fridge and yes thanks very much for joining us on al-jazeera so of course the devil is in the details as it always is types of agreements what stood out for you. well i think the most important thing. about this new arrangement if we can believe what we're reading in the in the press besides the the general agreement to return to the status quo ante is that there is this arrangement to supposedly regularize if you will deliveries to gaza which which is not something that we've seen in the past so in addition to opening up the border or easing the border restrictions are a little bit to allow movement of goods and medicine in and out of gaza we're seeing you know talking about a gas pipeline there's talk about. regularizing fuel deliveries so on that gaza is and so vulnerable to these. complete blackouts that happen when when fuel is cut off to its one and only power plant right so from a humanitarian perspective then this is a significant agreement for the people in gaza. it is will have to see you know so the devil is in the details but the devil is also in the implementation we've seen in the past many agreements. between palestinians and israelis whether it's how masson israel or the palestinian authority or the p.l.o. and israel and very often those arrangements are agreed to but never implemented and so we'll have to see what aspects are implemented in the coming days and weeks and if it's implemented then of course we'll also be looking out for whether it will stick because we've been here before. absolutely we're not only been here before this is like a routine it's like the movie groundhog day where. it's the same event happening over and over the only variation is how deadly and destructive the escalation is but you know just a few months ago in the fall we were in this very same position and of course we've seen multiple wars in the past several years since your own posed its blockade 13 years ago so there won't be any real lasting stability in the gaza border until there is an end to israel's blockade and while i have you with us let me just ask you about the latest u.a.e. israel deal and so if you take a look at that broader picture of what's happening now with the palestinians do you think that rival factions rival palestinian factions are going to be able to set aside their differences and come together in the face of this u.a.e. israel deal. well theoretically both and the 2 main political factions. in power time are in agreement they're in agreement in against normalization by the u.a.e. and any arab state with israel without some sort of movement toward ending israel's occupation and so the green principle. and theoretically you know those kinds of maneuvers of normalization are always a threat to the national movement zoomable the brain decides to gather about what we're seeing is a lot of talk about national unity and very little movement in that direction. going to we thank you very much for speaking to us on al-jazeera thanks for having me well the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has now invited a delegation from the united arab emirates to visit israel that's after the 1st flight by its national airline touched down and i will dhabi with the white house adviser jared custer and other u.s. and israeli officials on board a u.s. brokered deal to open up relations between israel and the u.a.e. it was announced 3 weeks ago that he and have denounced the pact as a betrayal. we came here a senior representatives of the israeli government and me the humble one and a direct historic commercial flight we came here in broad daylight and before the eyes of all in a plane bearing the plague of israel along with their american friends who have played a key role in establishing peace. u.s. president donald trump says the departments of justice and homeland security are setting up a joint operations center to investigate left wing civil unrest that protests as he steps up promises off law and order ahead of the november election trump said 200 people have been arrested including 100 in portland and he blamed leftwing protesters for violence and claimed his democratic rival joe biden had given moral aide to vandals but the president's critics have accused him of inciting his supporters to violence mike hanna is following the latest developments from washington d.c. and the president continues to project himself mike as the law and order candidates ahead of the november election. indeed yes those words law and order have been tweeted by president trump in high caps for a long period of time and at his news briefing in the course of the evening that was the platform from which he attacked his democratic party contender in the presidential race joe biden saying that biden was weak on law and order where is he president trump or strong here cues joe biden off siding as he put it with the left wing who president trump has described as anarchists and looters so certainly this is going to be an ongoing theme in president trump's attack against joe biden and the fact that the president believes that he's soft on law and order this is what president at to say. is a writer's these are dangerous people these are killers they kill a lot of people and they don't even think of verdant they wake up the next morning that even think about it this is the extreme left agenda for america they want to appoint radical persecutors judges in vero visuals who rules criminals freed and biden himself has gone on the attack mike he had some strong words for the president. there's joe biden held his 1st campaign meeting in person campaign meeting since he received the nomination as democratic party candidate for the president and he certainly lashed out very strongly against president trump criticizing him on a number of issues the inability as joe biden put it of president trying to effectively deal with the pandemic which has destroyed the country in recent months and also on the very important issue in terms of president trump's position on these nationwide protests that have been taking place joe biden insisting that president trump is more concerned with supporting rightwing figures militia armed militia. rather than attempting to end the ongoing violence on occasion joe biden saying directly that he believes that rather than dealing with the violence that has broken out at some of these protests he is intentionally fermenting it this is what joe biden had to say we've arrived at a moment in this campaign we all knew including the press in front of me knew we'd get to. the moment when donald trump would be so desperate to do anything to hold on to power dollar trump has been a toxic presence in our nation for 4 years. how we talk to one. poison and how we treat one another. in the values this nation has always held dear . poison in our very democracy. now just a little over 60 days we have a decision to make will we rid ourselves of this toxin or will we make a permanent part make it a permanent part of our nation's character. well some within the democratic party have been criticizing joe biden for what they call his muted response to the ongoing attacks by president trump but clearly in this campaign speech that joe biden made today this has changed from here on it's going to continue to be a bruising battle with joe biden indicating that he is going to give as good as he's got all right mike hanna thank you. well the republican controlled state senate in wisconsin did not take any action during a special session to discuss a set of policing bills the session started and recess them both the senate and assembly in less than a half a minute there have been black lives matter protests and can suffer more than a week after a police officer shot jacob block a black man in the back 7 times leaving

of corruption and unsafely storing explosive material after the port. unlike his predecessor has done yeah well resigned in the aftermath of the august before 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 state 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. beirut sudan's transitional government has signed a peace still in that ending nearly 20 years of conflict the agreement was reached with various rebel groups
