5:02 pm
significant a move this is. well the full, the restoration of the diplomatic relations between the anchor and tell of it's quite a milestone in relation of the 2 companies. and just last night took us prisoners pay babylon and israeli prime minister, european had a phone conversation and then they decided to finalize the normalization process between the 2 companies and to reappoint the ambassadors and the consul general is also to the capitals and the important other important a city is so this will make sense in the regional context. turkey, through the last year has embarked on a diplomatic push to many times the fe, ties with the regional regional countries such as egypt, united arab emirates, saudi arabia and israel. so the, the talk with the israelis have started over a year ago, and now we see that the process is being finalized. mean when it comes to turkish
5:03 pm
and the, the, the israeli corporation with both officials from both our praise in is that because both of these companies are facing the regional challenges. israel. busy is seen iran and iranian group as the security threat and also regarding tricky as a balancing power in the region. when it comes to turkey truck, you have security threats coming from syria and also the east mediterranean. i took it, things that have in is really support over these 2 files. will house is policies and all the other on the other hand. so there's less than a year to the presidential election tricky. and the turkish economy is not doing well. so on could, is trying to make our approach month with the regional countries and hoping that there's that approach me and what normalization of relations with the regional powers is going to have the economy. so when all these factors are combined, then it makes it quite significant that these 2 regional powers are once again becoming the partners in the region. the turkish foreign ministry said that it
5:04 pm
was not to giving up the palestinian cause in spite of the foreign relations with israel. but is that really the case? well, we know that the relations between israel and turkey got frayed in 2008 when israeli forces attacked garza and to more than 200 palestinians. but the breaking point was maggie. my mother followed till i was trying to carry into humanity and a 2 guards which was on the blockade by that time. and since then, the diplomatic relations between 2 companies, so the low have seen the lowest level of their history. so if the regard to this to case, we'll see that palestine was at the core of the crisis between the 2 countries. palestine is quite a sensitive issue for him. took his public and also for the government. and that's why did the fraud minister or turkey is trying to give the guarantees to the
5:05 pm
palestinians that the normalization of relations with israel is not going to come at the cost of its relation. tricky lesson with the palestinians. and also the part of the day of rights. so this, in that sense, it's quite important and it seems to be sincere. however, we are, the expert here are seeing that this is also a reality of the region that is dictate in over these 2 countries to normalize relations. so last year we have seen the israeli president, isaac has all with it, it turkey and then right after that took it for the minister in may have is the tel aviv and in june, the israeli prime minister back down, he was the, for the minister of israel the met and it has been intensive tools between these 2 countries to normalize relations. and now they decided to, to, to, to, to, to, to finalize this process of the normal vision of ever as palestine and palestinian cars is quite a sensitive issue. both for the government and the turkish public today has seen
5:06 pm
that the churches for the minister is trying to give the guarantees to the palestinians that this is not going to come at the cost of turkey relationship with palestine and dade. thank you very much. this russell set up for us and assemble. well, let's take a closer look at the background to the rift between the 2 countries. relations were downgraded in 2010 after israeli commandos killed 10 people when they stormed a turkish vessel bound for garza. then in 2018, both countries expelled each other's invoice in the dispute of israel's use of deadly force against protests and gather, killing more than $200.00 palestinian demonstrators. the move recently relations heaven proved last november, turkey released and israeli couple who had been detained and assemble on spying charges and israeli president isaac, who visited turkey in march, cooling the trip. the beginning of a new era of ab by son is an assistant professor and
5:07 pm
a political analyst. he explains why this is significant. the relational, despite all these crisis continued, i remember last march, when house look visit the arm cur, the trade volume was a point 5000000000 dollar between the 2 countries. and they, they said they wished to see that goes over $10000.00. so there was no on the only economy reason in my view, but actually the good ties between the countries in the past benefited the region, not almost the as a person. i trouble many times from jordan pulse him to to is where i benefit and he can see is very, very important and was upsetting to see the relations really in the past. so it is gonna certainly have economy benefits, no doubt about it. tourism will flourish more and more is where the tourists will become in trade on business volumes and maybe military corporation. but that in my
5:08 pm
view also signifies. turkey is kind of steadily becoming partial abra accords. find between the u. s. during the trump administration and the gulf states, and it seems it's, it's really up developing region have very high expectations. so turn to be part of it will certainly contribute positively. the you in human rights chief, is it still not safe for hundreds of thousands of her? a hinge, you refugees to return to me in law almost 5 years after they flayed a brutal military crackdown. michelle marshall, i has been meeting ro, hinges in bangladesh, with a government is growing impatient about hosting refugees. prime minister shake has been told by chalet that me and my must take them back more than 1000000. mostly muslim hinge and living in the world's largest refugee camp there will tend to change, re joined us live from deca. they discussed the hinge refugees,
5:09 pm
but clearly they read all about the best way forward. still yes, very much so. i mean, it was more in detail about what is going on in the camp. the plight of the refugees within the camp. but nothing in detail was discuss, what's me on mars at all in this possible situation is it's 5 years on there is no progress from the repair creation. she had made that 5 years on the environment in may and might still not conducive for the ro hang us to return back to me on my because that should be security has to be insured. the justice has to prevail until then there won't be forcing anybody to go back there and that the un will take full responsibility during reputation. but what is me on mars are all, is bangladesh. just question that several meetings down the road with the government, a bangladesh and man bar, but nothing really achieved so far. the banner, the side that me on my strict on its promise. and didn't really prep do any

5:11 pm
government should amend those. she raised different issues regarding various violation and she spoke to the home minister and the law minutes about this issues . but she was not very concrete or comes in detail. didn't mention anything, whether you n as any role to do the publish any documents and you got to all this allegation there at least 9 international organization. prepped hard to bring this issue to their government so that they can address this human rights. an extra judicial killing, i raise the question about 76 people missing about termination, registration or for major human rights organization in bangladesh. about the documentary that was the last 2 days about witness telling about their custody inside a military intelligence place and shit in that dress though she bypass my question . didn't address those directly other than in general terms. okay, thank you so much. that is attended challenge for us in bangladesh. in me and ma,

5:21 pm
liz cheney lost her bid to remain in congress by a wide margin. janie became former president donald trump's republican nemesis as vice chair of the january 6th committee in a forceful concession speech. chaney once again castigated the former president. 2 years ago. i won this primary was 73 percent at about. i could easily have done the same again, the path was clear, but it would have required that i go along with president trump's lie about the 2020 election. it would have required that i enable his ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system and attack the foundations of our republic. that was a path i could not, and would not take chinese opponent, lawyer harriet hagaman, was endorsed by trump, who's very popular in wyoming. trump congratulated hagaman and called cheney spiteful. obviously, we're all very grateful to president trump,
5:22 pm
who recognizes that wyoming hill has only one congressional representative. and we have to make account is janie became one of the best known members of congress this year. as the vice chair of the congressional investigation into the events surrounding the insurrection of january 6th, 2021. as well as the various schemes and falsehoods, trump and his associates hatched as he attempted to remain in office after losing the election. but that didn't go over well with wyoming voters, 70 percent of whom voted for trump over joe biden, in 2020. despite her defeat, many people in wyoming and in washington, dc expect cheney to run for president in 2024, using a reputation as a defender of democracy who stood up to trump when other republicans failed to do so. cheney did nothing to dispel those expectations in her concession speech. this primary election is over, but now the real work begins. janie's loss does not mean that she will leave her

5:24 pm
i didn't despise issues of your colleagues. i didn't disclose it to them because i didn't think it was in the interest of the best operations. the government during across the 1st role of power grab club is don't talk about power grab club and scott morrison brought that real to die. scott morrison was divisive. he was defensive. he was passive aggressive, and of course he was self serving. so lacy was true to himself to die. what we saw was all of his characters on full display. fly me every one else, not accepting any responsibility. ukraine's emergency service has released a video of what appears to be the aftermath of a russian missile attack that happened in the town on south taca. that's 60 kilometers south of odessa. at least 4 people were wounded. the turkish royal bridge is an important supply line between odessa and the risk of ukraine,
5:25 pm

5:26 pm
can provide payments and cost of living support payments like we've seen, announced earlier in the year, more of which is probably going to be needed in the months ahead. 10 point one percent inflation is is very significant. something we haven't seen since the early months of $982.00, roughly half of the inflation rate is described by household costs. and that's the energy bills. and also transport costs. and that's for dominate it being driven up by pump prices and varied fuel prices. as well as that food prices are now starting to pull inflation the 2nd month in which they pulled up inflation. so prices and energy prices, both through household bills. i'm throughout the pump. the con truth is that it's still going to get quite a bit before it gets any better. so october will be a really significant moment that some forecast is putting the rise expect to drive
5:27 pm
in the energy price, tap 70 percent, which would almost triple the average household energy bill year on year after that new rules mean that the price will be reviewed in january again, which point prices are likely to rise further? it's only up to that point that we, we might expect prices to some side. risk do remain because gas prices remain high and the light needs remain heights throughout the course of next year. the south korea is defense, ministry says north korea has 5 to cruise missiles. they were launched into the sea from ocean and south p o gan province. so says it's analyzing data to learn more about the launch with help from the us military. that comes a day after soul and washington started 4 days of joint drills and preparation for a training exercise later this month. how correspondence world mcbride details, while the timing of these miss are launches is significant. the timing of this does
5:28 pm

5:29 pm
counterparts from the north that any future dealings really has to be based on far more substantial progress made the basically he wants to see a far more sincere approach taken by north korea towards de nuclear is ation. before the holding of such stomach, so this could be a message from north korea to him and his administration. but it also coincides with the starting of drills this week between us and south reinforces ahead of largest scale military joint exercises next week. the type of exercises that always seem to anger and provoke north korea. so this could be seen as being an early expression of north korea's displeasure towards those or socrates in central china a trying to ease power and water shortages cause by record high temperatures and drought. 2 months of hot, dry weather have disrupted cropped growth and threatened livestock. john quinn is
