accepted this task because i am aware and all the political factions are aware of the gravity of the situation and the mississippi to immediately implement reforms so what is embarrassing has more almost all far there is a point. it was a surprise announcement last night when it appeared a political deal was reached among the different factions in lebanon divided landscape which led many to believe that outside pressure in particular france who has been really a main power broker in this latest political crisis to try to come up with a deal a consensual candidate that counter that except that by all the different factions it was key that the former prime minister saad know how devious block named him because. it's the biggest bloc in parliament he's considered the leader of the senate community in this post is reserved for the sunday community unlike the previous prime minister he was named by the shia alliance so he has political cover

from the leadership and it's clear that he has the cover of the international community that is what more and more people have been telling us even some in the opposition believe that you know it was france really that not just suggested but ordered the lebanese politicians it's time to come together we need to move forward so. is a man a former diplomat now he was once an advisor to a former prime minister he's now the man who's going to try to leave this country stay with out of the economic crisis that it's in. so don't government signed a peace deal aimed at ending nearly 20 years of conflict agreement has been reached between rebel groups and the transitional government neighboring south sudan mediated the deal to morgan reports from. year after the start of talks to dance transitional government and the opposition coalition the sudanese revolutionary front are signing a peace deal. across the top priority and it's hoped this will help achieve it

and we'll see. i mean we're glad that we managed to achieve a milestone regarding achieving peace in sudan we know there are other factions to sign and we hope to be enough. ranch negotiator these groups peace is the most important thing we have for the decisional period and without it all the talks about democratic transition 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 restart sudan's 39 month transitional period imo we affirm the commitment of south

sudan and sudan's journeyed 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 reparations will be paid to those affected by the conflict and those displaced will be allowed to return home and if. we've been in these came since 2004 we want the conflict in so we can go back to our ancestral 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 more going on to their own hearts home. so the man bar though is a sudanese affairs analyst and former director of the sudan democracy 1st group he says sudan's economic stagnation could become an obstacle to peace that women if you will to shoot require a lot of resources that she doesn't have because of a chronic a worsening economy a crisis threatening the stability of the country economy classes and limited by increasing tensions between the military component and civilian lives which are trying to at least hold the source of the country and there are the sovereign oversight of the minister of finance wild a little establishment with its was considerable economic cloud it is denying access and rejecting acceptance of oversight of the government or got their sources

and therefore sudan has yet to address of 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 slow says to enable that in additional or going to. the white house advisor judd kirshner has arrived in the united arab emirates from israel on the 1st official flight between 2 nations russia has joined by an israeli delegation the visit follows a u.s. brokered deal between israel and the u.a.e. to normalize relations did to be formalized the palestinians have denounced the deal saying it betrays their rights spoke shortly after arriving in abu dhabi he says the flight was also important for another reason also historic was the kingdom of saudi arabia granting permission for this israeli commercial flight to use its airspace this is the 1st time that this is ever happened i would like to thank the
