Ahead of peace talks between the Afghan Government and the taliban. A cry for freedom refugees burned out of the camps on the greek island of lets cross demand that they be allowed to head for mainland europe. And france records its biggest rise in coronavirus cases in months with over 10000 cases of the government decides against any new restrictions. On its force or anyone who is one becoming a record 24th grand slam title just yes the american has been knocked out by Victoria Azarenka in the semifinals of the u. S. The gulf state of bahrain has agreed to normalize relations with israel as just days. Before the United Arab Emirates signs a formal agreement establishing ties with the stays the us President Donald Trump announced the deal on twitter speaking to the leaders of both countries on friday israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu says that its a new era of peace we have 3 correspondents on this breaking story that abraham is in ramallah for the palestinian perspective harry for citizen west true slim but 1st lets go to kimberly how cute is standing by for us at the white house kimberly one of the further in the camp of president trip or at least thats the way hes trying to present it ahead of novembers election. No question about it we started hearing about the rumors about this phone call that the president had had but all reporters here at the white house found the news out about the same time the rest of the world and that is as you mentioned with a tweet here is what the u. S. President said another historic breakthrough today our 2 great friends of israel in the kingdom of bahrain agreed to a peace deal the 2nd arab country to make peace with israel in 30 days so the u. S. President talking about the agreement that has already been secured in terms of normalizing diplomatic relations between israel and the United Arab Emirates in fact we already know that there has been a commercial Airline Flight that has travel between the 2 nations and in fact we are told that delegations are now traveling freely to the between those 2 airports now the white house saying that they are building upon that mbox raid will be joining representatives from the u. A. E. Here at the white house on tuesday for the signing of this agreement the u. S. President saying that this is just the beginning he is promising more agreements in the future. This is now the 2nd Peace Agreement that weve announced in the last month and i am very hopeful that there will be more to follow i can tell you theres tremendous enthusiasm on behalf of other countries to also join and we think ultimately youll have most countries join and you can have the palestinians. In a very good position they want to come in theyre going to want to come in because all of their friends are in and if as you say kimberly the president has one eye on the election as he is announcing all of this who is it that he is aiming this information after me just the American Public particularly care about this will it matter versus. It is not high on the agenda of most American Voters but it is high in the agenda of a good portion of trumps supporters and that is the Christian Community and more specifically evangelicals who have always held israel in very high esteem would like to see pro israel policies which is something that the us president has delivered on including moving the us embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem but the president needing to build on that is trying to show that he has brought about a success in something he has not achieved and that is the socalled deal of the century where he had promised to try and bring a bring about an agreement between israel and the palestinians given the fact that that has not is not a promise kept on the campaign trail or in his 1st term hes now intimating that its in the works both for me and i will secure it in my 2nd term and so thats what we see in the president do with respect to these agreements hes acting as if this is a framework that will bring about that socalled deal of a century yet we know that it is so far apart given the fact that the president and his or ministrations representatives are not even talking to the palestinians right now so in terms of what this is many could argue its a bit of a smokescreen but the u. S. President also did this just one day earlier when his administrations press secretary kelly mcenaney said the president is keeping his promise ending the endless wars as he calls them at the same time the announcement of a withdrawal whether it be for troops in iraq or even in afghanistan theres been no withdraw at all in fact its just been a draw down which is hardly a promise kept a White House Correspondent kimberly how could reporting live from washington to anybody thanks lets take you now to west jerusalem not just here as her before so it is for us Prime Minister netanyahu another politician who needs a deal like this right now. Certainly hes under an enormous amount of domestic pressure chiefly because of the out of control nature of the corona virus pandemic which has been really ripping through israel for weeks now and in the last few days more than 4000 cases a day have been reported and so israel according to the governments coronavirus Cabinet Meeting which broke up on thursday is going into another very painful very severe nationwide lockdown next thursday so there is a great deal of discontent with how the government has managed the coronavirus situation of course is also on trial in 3 separate Corruption Cases that is due to start its evidentiary phase with witnesses and netanyahu appearing at the court day by day in january so this kind of thing certainly. Does take attention away from those sorts of very damaging issues and it is something that he has a spouse as very important for israel for many years throughout his Prime Ministership he has tried to portray himself as the steward of Israeli Security as someone who has been trying to get these alliances especially in the face of iran together in the middle east and he came out with a statement rarely on a jewish sabbath after sunset on friday welcoming this saying he was moved by it calling it a new era of peace and once again talking about his new catch phrase peace for peace instead of land for peace a signal that hes talking about no need to give up any physical territory inside the occupied west bank in return for these normalize ties with arab nations indeed he did have to suspend his plans for an exception but even in the settler communities there are many who say that that is a price worth paying and so he is saying that that israel can move ahead essentially putting the palestinian. Issue entirely to one side and start to reap the economic benefits as well as the political and diplomatic benefits of these ties. Many thanks. Live in west jerusalem secure not true ramallah syrias need to bring him is that whats been the reaction to this. Strong condemnation weve seen a statement from the p. L. O. The Palestine Liberation Organization calling this a betrayal to the palestinian cause and as if theyre just devising this is really what is the. Problem now weve spoken to. Officials very close to the president more about whos he said in the region between the palestinians and between the arabs and israel will not happen without it without with that we cannot happen without solving the palestinian issue and he also said that numerous agreements. As well as. Normalizing relations with israel wouldnt have happened without the regional backing and weve seen the palestinians disappointed to that because i think by that a week in which the Palestinian Foreign minister has encouraged the ministers to adopt a palestinian draft resolution that condemns that the u. A. E. Deal with israel forced out not top and. Indians the arab league did not even respect its head resolutions the Arab Peace Initiative which is a result of a draft resolution out of position from the arab sheik says that the should between arab states and israel should only happen after the end of this radio occupation of course this isnt top and israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu talked about suspending annexation on the ground of course many people here say thats the beheadings statement didnt. Even have some sort of a lip service for the palestinians to kind of show that theyre known as they should be with israel has benefits the palestinians in any way shape or form but they say if it was given was a kind of a free now as for the palestinians they say theyre left with options to do but to unite we know that there has been a split between the west bank and gaza for years and that needs to meeting between faction be there is has also it was joined by Islamic Jihad and have massive officials including. And yet the top hamas in the there in which he says that you know they are going to be united they are going to be putting a framework to and if that Palestinian Division so it has as far as moving forward palestinians say they are looking good work. Out a serious need to abraham reporting live from ramallah lets speak now to nearby the author of the gulf region israel old struggles new alliances hes in washington d. C. Good to have you with us so what do you make of this. Thank you very much a horny opportunity i think that what were seeing now is a strategic shift goals is Relations Just so. We could go when the. Companys duration and now instead of more states would follow the u. A. E. Most observers believe that saudi arabia and bahrain have made their positions clear would you say that normalization would be tied to progress on the Israeli Palestinian front and that is how most observers read it at the time now what. Has followed do you need then you know where is the bahrain to the intensive follow the saudi lead on regional matters piers i didnt know the possibility of saudi arabia even john. Joining the u. S. And bahrain is the real possibility and if that happens there is a strategic change if you will and gulf is very bullish its the stakeholders in this. As an historic peace till its its not historic and its not a place to lose it well i think it is historic we know that. Qatar and oman in the past have had diplomatic relations with israel but. When progress on the Israeli Palestinian front collapsed they sever for their own reasons that money ties with the Digital State now are seeing that there is no movement on the Israeli Palestinian violence and still you see the unity and the brain making who are signing Peace Agreements with israel so that is that is used for house there rabia moves forward whether or not they joins the line or for not i think whats important is that saudi arabia indirectly is supporting it and we will horse see in the next coming week whether or not the saudi arabia will and youll indeed join join ranks where does this leave the palestinians now. I think the palestinians are in a very tough position he does the palestinians so far as rallied on arab support for their d positions because of the israel the consensus as a respect that it would be a 2 state solution with East Jerusalem in the capital and i do think that. Enough i think that the palestinian is in a better position now and i tell you why because when the United Arab Emirates decided to normalize i think if you will in exchange for all the not an exception it leaves the door open for a 2 state solution in which israel could withdraw from the occupied territories and a settlement blocks and return got to do a future palestinian state india bents that direct talks between israel and palestine takes place and i do think that. Crane together with u. A. E. Will put extensive pressure on israel to do. The sessions really gets talked to so many thanks indeed for being with us. In washington. Thank you. This is the news still to come on the Program China and india agreed to disengage their troops of the disputed border area days off the shots were fired for the 1st time in decades iranians cast their ballots in round 2 of a parliamentary vote that was delayed due to the pandemic. And sport will hear what bosler as manager has to say about. Being forced to stay at the club. Protesting refugees on the greek out of the boss the demanding permission to leave to travel to the mainland. Theyve spent 3 nights without shelter after files destroyed their camp food is in short supply of water or so europes biggest refugee camp the greek government though wont allow them on to the mainland and is working to put them into tents at a chartered ships. Says the area camp and says that families there have nowhere to go. Definitely the feelings of persistence among refugees here who want to be allowed to leave and at the moment that being denied it seems even basic comforts people who fled moria because because it was burnt on tuesday and wednesday nights have now camped out here on avenue that runs through an Industrial Zone on the island and as you can see that bedding down on concrete pavements beside the asphalt there is a road block on either side of the section of the road both to protect and to protect the Asylum Seekers here from traffic and also to prevent them from leaving because the government wants them to stay here and to have their asylum cases heard out here because that way if any are rejected it is easier to deport them back to turkey but also because less force island has now become a vector for corona virus and it is feared that if these people are relocated to camps on the mainland then they may spread the virus there among refugee populations there is well this has in fact happened in the last year weve seen it happen in a camp in the pipe unease which had to be locked down as a result so here they are although the government says it is providing them with food and water at the moment if not shelter some of them have told us that they havent received any such consideration. Go look at how the European Union has been reacting as this crisis in greece unfolds. This is the reality for the thousands of refugees on the greek island of last boss caught between the streets and an even more precarious future. And these are the politicians who are tasked with finding a solution to a crisis that has been gnawing at the European Union after 5 years of attempts and acknowledgement from brussels that it has so far failed to come up with a comprehensive plan by 2006. Because a number of its. Green. Leaves. Not a good. This is where that failure is being felt most on the roads where makeshift tents housed those left with nowhere to stay but only 10 Member States have offered to take in the most vulnerable of those left stranded body s. 406. 00 unaccompanied children with france and germany taking up 150. 00 each they are the only ones who will be able to leave the island for now germanys interior minister defended the decision not to take in more people. If we as the federal republic of germany believe that we can solve the european asylum policy on our own then the year 2015 will be repeated because there wont be a european solution anymore there are also worries over the spread of the pandemic at least 35 people tested positive for the virus last week and only 8 have been found since the burning down of the camp. Poland austria and denmark are among the 17 e. U. Members who are giving assistance to greece the shelter and medical equipment these tents were set up on the islands military base local residents have grown impatient and angry with the increasingly overcrowded camps have complained that not enough has been done to help those refugees stuck in less boss situation is a happy time for us and for the other greek who have been admirable since the beginning and welcome the refugees and now quite rightly i got. You know im having to answer for the rest of the European Union at least 33000 people have crossed the Mediterranean Sea to europe so far this year holding cows for those wanting to escape war and hardship have failed to provide a lasting solution and it is a problem that is not going away anytime soon.
