a speech by nigeria's president fails to calm the anger of the police brutality. and spain's prime minister says the country's real number of corona virus cases might be around 3000000 that's triple the official count. hello welcome to the program our top story israel and sudan have now agreed to normalize relations and a deal brokered by the united a united states the decision makes hard to have the 3rd arab nation now to set aside its hostilities with israel in the past 2 months u.s. president donald trump sealed the agreement in a call with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and the sudanese prime minister abdullah doc trump told congress he's removing sudan from a list of state sponsors of terrorism palestinians have described sudan's decision as a new stab in the back but trump says he expects more countries want to make

a deal as well. it's who they wanted to do a deal and that was it particularly nice because they essentially better war with israel for. a long time i don't know if it was fighting i don't know that but probably there's been a little bit but certainly it's been for many years you've been officially at war with sudan and now it's not only the deal was signed but it's peace so that's official and that's you know we have at least 5 that want to come in and can live now to alan fischer at the white house and obviously president trump and his administration came to portray this is an important foreign policy achievement ahead of election day. exactly and if it's been the direction of travel for a number of years according to what we hear from the administration that they've been dealing with this for at least 3 years 1st of all this sudanese government had to log $335000000.00 into an account to pick compensation for

victims of the east african bombings in the embassies there in 1908 the attack on the u.s. cole in yemen in 2000 and the murder of a u.s. diplomat in the amman part of the century once that was done donald trump could then send a note to congress saying that he wanted to remove the designation of sudan as a state sponsor of terrorism once that is approved that essentially takes away all . the sanctions on. sudan and clears the way for trade deals and also clear the way then for israel to formally recognize the country and build the relationship because without that they would have run foul of u.s. law the whole process goes to the senate now to congress in fact they have got 45 days to review the documents and what the why donald trump has decided to change the designation if they approve and that seems likely then the sanctions will start to be lifted and as for donald trump he seems to embrace the idea of making small

deals across the middle east rather than his predecessors trying to build one all encompassing middle east deal he believes that this changes the reality on the ground he already got a deal signed between the united arab emirates and bahrain to recognize israel remember the abraham accords were signed here at the white house just in september just over a month ago and he believes that there are 5 other countries who are ready to sign up to this deal believing that if he does that then 1st of all it will help american security it will stop expensive and bloody for morris and of course it will help. up his reelection effort no many people are going to care of sudan is taken off the list of countries that are state sponsors of terrorism but what he can see is that many administrations try to get compensation for the victims of terrorism here the field but he has managed to secure $335000000.00 that is

something that he can take on to the campaign trail for the last 11 days before november the 3rd and of course he'll push the fact that he has tried to bring peace to the middle east when many others including the obama biden ministration hadfield . all right thank you very much will the latest from the white house that alan fischer hangs on it. and we'll have a morgan is in the sudanese capital hard to enforce she says that the country's removal from the state sponsors of terror list as allan was just mentioning there she says that will be a major boost to the country's economy. sudan out of the u.s. list of state sponsors of terror means an improvement in sudan's economy maybe not immediately like be acting minister of finance said on tuesday following the announcement from u.s. president donald trump that he will be lifting of that list but they say that within the coming months they will expect the banking systems to open internationally so that sudanese can transact between sudan and other countries they also expect that this would be

a way for them to be able to basically get loans from the international monetary fund and the world bank and it will also help them be able to clear their debts of more than $60000000000.00 that's what the government is hoping to achieve by being lifted out of the u.s. list of states forces of terror of course sudan's our prime minister has welcomed the steps when president donald problem mounted on monday he again welcomed the step that the u.s. president took in notifying congress to deal with sudan in the next 45 days but we have not heard any reaction yet from the sudanese in terms of normalizing ties with israel that's something that no official has commented on yet today it seems to be very quiet but the prime minister has previously stated that he is very worried about taking such a step because this is a transitional government not an elected government and it's a government of a coalition of various political parties with various of various ideologies various leanings on let's go to harry foresee joins us live now from west jerusalem i guess

for netanyahu in the israelis this latest resit recognition really undermines the official arab argument we've had quite apart from what might been happening behind the scenes but the official argument that there can't be is sort of normalization without recognition of an independent palestinian state. well yes that's something that benjamin netanyahu has himself been talking about since the 1st agreement was signed or he was an announced with the united arab emirates back in august saying that essentially it was peace for peace as opposed to peace for land or any kind of concession given to the palestinians and that's something that the palestinian president mahmoud abbas also emphasized in a statement saying that nobody should speak on behalf of the palestinians that the only way to a comprehensive and just peace was through the end of the occupation and through an independent state with east jerusalem as its capital as for the messaging coming from netanyahu after this latest announcement he's talking about the symbolism of

this saying that. referring to the pan arab agreement in a commitment in 1067 in khartoum to the 3 knows no to peace with israel no to negotiation of this with israel not a recognition of israel that they had been replaced by the 3 yeses to those things and he's also trying to do a sales job to his own domestic constituency saying that these agreements will make practical beneficial changes to their lives that the kind of trading relationships that can open up will make the cost of living which is very high here in israel less but it is also worth noting that the text of the agreement so far released doesn't refer to the same kinds of things that were referred to in the initial you a year agreement text i this is talking about trading relationship starting with agriculture as opposed to full diplomatic relationships at this stage no talk of embassies for example in either country and i thank you from washington had

a full set. all say the palestinian leadership has condemned the deal from what it had considered an ally this was a reaction that we had and palestinians in the area. we thought that me denouncing does the and we are sure that the sins of the nice people intellectuals of the knees in national but it is the people of sudan in shalit egypt his deeds because sudan and the people of sudan as their sadness and with the palestinian cause. will need to employ him as in ramallah or in the occupied west bank and says anna syrians feel threatened by this this is what the palestinian leadership has been saying since then you wait he announced it's going to be normalizing relations with israel that more countries are going to be following it and this is what happens if they behave and join the u.a.e. in signing a deal with israel and now so then who knows who's going to be next it's worth mentioning that this is the 1st africans thing to be normalizing relations with not

only talking about the gulf and that could be threatening as far as palestinians are concerned more normalization deals with israel the palestinian president mahmoud abbas issued a statement condemning the so then announcement of not meditation relations with israel saying that the way and path to peace should only pass through international law which is when israel and its occupation of palestinian lands the arab league where the 3 nos were born and no to normalization or to recognition or peace who would negotiations with israel before it ends its occupation has failed to adopt and dropped resolution suggested by the palestinians to condemn normalization and for them they feel that they've been left alone especially amidst the trump administration that has been giving more and more as presidents are

concerned more gifts to the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. a senior political analyst marwan bashar joins us live via skype from doha in marianna i suppose it's important to be aware that this this newest deal chest reflects existing realities in the region what what could it mean for israel's treatment of the palestinians it will probably worsen israel's treatment of the poster didn't. think now they have leverage course american. and in a sense we can see the expansion of israeli settlements the illegal settlements going on and we're probably going to see here sooner than later the annexation of a city there but for international viewers just a bit more of a simple world this is going to be more in justice the worse the palestinians so those in washington speaking about peace in the believes they understand all too

well that the palestinians have been living under occupation. for more than half a century and they've been dispossessed of their homeland for more than 70 years and this is going on and this is getting worse and for those who cared about peace in the middle east it's not just a sense i mean if the him right these are really concerned with peace they should end their slaughter in yemen. if the if washington is interested in peace in north africa then it should get saddam tunis and others to help end the war in libya instead we see wars periphery that we see conflict and instability proofreading in the middle east we see dictatorships like that that the ship is saddam the military that that holding on to its power through this kind of a deal through washington with that of you so on in or out that by the syrians are

screwed and many others are a screw all in the name of peace but monica that we could there be a silver lining to this in the sense that it will finally lay to rest the kind of zone b. arab politics lip service to the palestinian cause the whole land for peace initiative which has we know that there are already these relations between the gulf states and israel in that sense once it's now so have formalized an official cannot help perhaps could help alter palestinian strategizing you know i'm all for the civil linings i mean i'm more than happy especially nowadays with koran and everything but the middle east really falling apart more force of aligning and yes it is about time for that i was still used to regroup and i see some signs that there is more serious effort for president unity and i see perhaps there will be

more sign for this that members of washington or the 2 or up with avi or whatever that is more than happy to sell to the palestinians for you know 30 pounds in gold as it were. the bottom line is that the palestinians need to make sure that they stop this betting on washington even if i buy it in a misfortune comes along it's that the state ought to be bringing them peace and justice and a state of their own they're going to have to do it on their own and the israelis should also understand that the current dooms not going to bring peace not with up your head but in the end of the day there are some 15000000 people living between the jordan river and the military see how full of them are palestinians and some few more millions are lingering on the refugee camps in syria lebanon jordan and so on and without a solution in a 2 state independent on the lines of 967 with east jerusalem as its capital the

line that's been repeated for more than 50 years if that does not happen that palestinians are going to once and for all take it seriously that this must be a bi national state between the river and the military and where palestinians and jews christians muslims and jews can live together because apart it this is the sort of. settlement coming expanded into annexation in our part of the system where jews control the palestinians this cannot survive in the 21st century not after 30 years when it and in the south africa so that a similar are going to have to do the hard work now they have been doing the hard work throughout but they cannot on the band are not of god but those are said to certain they cannot depend on washington in order to achieve that kind of justice that they demand and without justice there will be no peace thank you very

of mack quick look at the headlines sudan and israel have agreed to begin the process of normalizing diplomatic relations the us president announced the deal the furred now between israel and an arab nation. donald trump says he now intends to remove sudan from a list of state sponsors of terrorism earlier this week khartoum agreed to pay compensation to american victims of violence. of course you've been following developments in libya as well after nearly a decade of bloodshed the warring sides of agree to a permanent an immediate cease fire the u.n. brokered deal was signed in geneva after months of negotiations between the internationally recognized government based in tripoli and its rivals in the east of the country jim reports. after 5 days of u.n. hosted talks a historic breakthrough libya's warring factions signing a national cease fire today is

a good day for the libyan people. at 11 15 am this morning here in the u.n. headquarters in geneva the 2 libyan delegations to the 5 plus joint military commission talks signed a complete countrywide and permanent cease fire agreement with immediate effect. under the terms all foreign fighters are required to leave libya within 3 months and a new joint police force will start patrolling disputed areas. for libya which has been wracked by conflict for nearly 10 years these past 14 months has only seen the fighting worsen while the east of the country is in the hands of powerful word khalifa haftar and the tobruk based house of representatives the west is controlled by the un backed government of national accord led by prime minister fayyad. they remain in tripoli the country's capital have to who is supported by russia egypt

and the united arab emirates launched an offensive on tripoli in april 2019 but was pushed back early this year as pro g.m.a. forces received support from turkey the you in which is accused foreign parties of breaching an arms embargo urged them to stop interfering in libya and while repeated attempts for a un brokered cease fire failed in the past this round has seen both sides agree to reopen land and air routes across front lines still many questions remain unanswered then asked to be. arrangements on the ground it's going to be monitored it will be done independent a mood of optimism may now exist but the coming weeks and months are likely to reveal whether this is a lasting peace. also i've been hearing from the. terrorists who hailed the cease fire as a fundamental step towards peace and stability but also that there is still much work ahead. i appeal to all stakeholders and regional actors to respect the

provisions of the ceasefire agreement and ensure its implementation without delay and i call on the international community to support libyans in implementing the ceasefire and in bringing an end to the conflict. these includes in shooting the full and unconditional respect for the security council arms embargo. now tensions been growing in guinea often results show the president winning a controversial 3rd term in office security forces have dispersed opposition protesters with tear gas and the internet phone lines have been shut down at least 17 people have been killed in unrest in sunday's election at least 3 of them on friday the election commission says 82 year old alpha condé won around twice as many votes as his main rival. who's disputing the result well on rest of the police brutality is continuing in nigeria with gangs blocking major roads in lagos groups with sticks and knife set small fires on fridays and

europe. record numbers of covert infection rates are now being recorded right across europe in france there are now 1000000 cases 2 thirds of its population are under curfew the country's highly regarded health service is becoming overwhelmed and there's the starkest warning yet about the resurgence of the virus if you will of holiday needed if we look at it. demick virus is spreading more quickly now than in the spring in spain the government says the pandemic is out of control and prime minister pedre sanchez has released research from a public health institute tripling the number of covert cases from guam to see 3000000 he says some regions fail to detect the actual number of cases he's being criticized by some regions for not imposing a national lockdown but he refuses to do so. even if we want to avoid at all costs

for people to be logged on the tarmac like they were in the spring we know the sacrifices it takes and the comic on social consequences it brings in belgium the government has also stopped short of a national lockdown while announcing more restrictions as pittel admissions in the past fortnight have increased by 254 percent compared with the past 2 weeks and latest positive testing figures standard nearly 10000 people a day 75 percent on last week health workers say the situation is getting critical when i look at a lot of people are off work they're exhausted tired before the challenge is to continue and provide the best quality care possible despite these challenges and the challenges all over europe west and east are getting greater by the day along with the pressure on politicians to weigh up more restrictive measures and their impact on economies and jobs and to simmons. it's just 11 days until

americans elect the next president and donald trump and his democratic rival joe biden. a final chance to sell that vision to the public the 2 men traded blows over the coronavirus andranik racism and corruption so practical a now takes a look at whether their final showdown is likely to change any votes. this was widely seen as u.s. president donald trump's last chance to change the trajectory of the presidential race where polls show him losing to his opponent former vice president joe biden and turns to home was more moderate although fact checkers say he made many dubious claims and misstatements about his record and vines throughout the debate and his rhetoric was still in play the tory especially on immigration we would say come back in 2 years 3 years we're going to give you a court case you did perri mason we're going to give you a court case when you say they come back they don't come back joe they never come back only the really. just say this but those with the lowest i.q.

they might come back a president of the letter again trans own government says that is untrue it says more than half of asylum seekers show up for court private studies put the number at 85 percent biden called his policies criminal us $500.00 plus kids came with parents they separated them at the border to make it a disincentive to come to began. been a real tough we're really strong and guess what they cannot is that coyotes didn't bring them over their parents were with them they got separated from their parents and it makes us a laughing stock it violates every notion of who we are as a nation for joe the biden didn't escape the notice of fact checkers either although to a lesser extent and his exchange with trump on the future of big oil has emboldened republicans would you close down the other way our transition from their own history yes oh i was trying to ship it is a big statement analyst namby carter thinks in

a race where most voters have already made up their mind and tens of millions of already voted the back and forth on immigration could hit home i think it probably did perhaps do something more to the people on the margins who may have voted for him because of partisan identification but not because they necessarily care for the man or his policies and i think those people are perhaps the most persuadable at this moment we don't know until you know the election is called and this debate watch party the issue resonated with. those children this in cages and i think it's very wrong you know to lock up here and keep it from here but it likely won't cost him support from his base let me look at the moderators i think a lot of questions are geared. really try to get to like gotcha questions. talk about race and they try to act as if race relations under its ministrations been flipped upside down this race is

a referendum on trump his policies his personality and this final debate made clear to those who are for and against him exactly what and who he is as the clock ticks down and millions of votes are cast each day pedicle hain al jazeera. quick look at the headlines now sudan in israel have agreed to begin the process of normalizing diplomatic relations u.s. president announced a deal the 3rd now between israel and an arab nation sponsor the agreement on the trump says he intends to remove sudan from the list of state sponsors of terrorism after it agreed compensation payments israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu called it a dramatic breakthrough for fees but the palestinian leadership called it another stab in the back out of fissures at the white house. as for donald trump well he seems to embrace the idea.
