lauren taylor, this is al jazeera live from london was coming up. we've taken our corporation to an unprecedented level, you case, half a $1000000000.00 deal with france to help stop small boats from crossing the channel. 7 killed including an unborn baby when a gunman opens fire on a bible study group in germany. and china re appoints changing things for an historic 3rd term as president ah and it off to 7 years of heightened tension and confrontation that had a serious security economic and political impact on the middle east. iran and saudi arabia agreed to re establish diplomatic relations and re open embassies. the deal was broken by china and was struck in beijing this week. jonathan moment has been

seen as a major diplomatic when it's senior to prevent why he said china, which recently offered a proposal to end the war, and ukraine would continue to play a constructive role in handling hotspot issues in the world. john kirby from the us national security council supported the move, but said the u. s. would keep watching china as it continues to gain influence and footholds elsewhere around the world in their own self interest. innovation can be noted, roberts and lebanon were among those to welcome new agreement, as well described it as a good development. go to the hash, them is life 1st and tear on that. it seems to be a sudden turn around. what happened? well, everyone was surprised with the timing though. the context is that iranians and saudi officials. i've been meeting over the past couple of years between 220212022 . they've been meeting in iraq. there was any recommendation also that the meeting and oh man, where there were a kind of

a gatherings for that is for the security officials in order to coordinate over the situation in yemen and also what regional security. so the context is there that the timing is a bit surprising at what in general, the whole region seemed to be welcoming this move mainly the out up countries in the, in the region where it welcoming this move. because any think that and the escalating and approach more between saudi arabia and iran will have its own impact on the whole region. it would have its impact on yemen. the war in yemen, it would have its impact on lebanon with the political twice as an economy fall out . it would have its impact also on syria and of course iraq. so in general, this is, this is the main point. and the main reason why everyone is welcoming. however, as we heard today from alisha, a funny, the,

a secretary for iran supreme in national security council, there will be a path, and they'll be a way to restore the diplomatic relations. hey suzy, us, that the can them, we have been here in beijing for 6 days. i held talks of my saudi counterpart that led to the agreement to normalize relations. we agreed with saudi arabia to open a new page based on the interests of the 2 countries. and, and on regional security, and to promote stability instead of exacerbating tension. so we hope this will contribute to the establishment of security and development in the region and ballast, the behavior of foreign powers and their distance from our region to which they came without permission. we look forward to this agreement contributing to the consolidation of our relations, not only with saudi arabia, but also with the countries of the region and the islamic world. the enemy, especially the zionist entity, feels frustrated and despaired by this agreement. i am more though and oh, what was the response from israel?

let's get that the response from his will wasn't welcoming, and it will be welcoming such an approach monitoring as saudi arabia and, and, and iran, especially with a lot of reports coming here. and that about attempts to normalize thighs between saudi arabia and, and israel, which the saudis are out of denying every now. and then however, this really, zach kind of stressing on the, the, the coalition against the wrong. they want more countries on board in the confrontation with iran, and today with saudi arabia having this deal with the iranians, restoring diplomatic thighs, reviving the 2001 security security packed at this won't really be a possible alhashan. thank you very much indeed. and here is diplomatic editor james base has more from the united nations. certainly, the united nations is welcoming this. the secretary general was briefed on it 1st

thing this morning. as soon as the news emerged here in new york and a very positive reaction, he believes that this could be good news for the entire region. yemen, i think, is the one where the un will be most most interested in this. what can they actually bring the war in yemen to a proper negotiated settlement? we have a very uneasy truce that's been in place. it's nearly now 8 years in the next few days. it'll be 8 years since saudi arabia intervened in yemen. and they've been bogged down there ever since that i'm sure is one of the motivations from the saudi side. of course, they're important implications with regard to israel. israel is the one country i think it is not going to like this. they had been hoping that the u. s. would persuade saudi arabia to join the abraham cords or get better relations with israel and completely isolate iran. that's what prime minister netanyahu wants,

and it's not what he's going to get. i think the overwhelming thing that i'm seeing from this is, is a very different approach now to saudi foreign policy. traditionally before mom had been sa martin, who now steers the strategy for the saudi kingdom. saudi arabia very much was in the u. s. camp and everything, but this deal, it was broke could to day in china. and at the same time, the saudi foreign minister was in russia talking about is good relations with russia or nations between iran and saudi arabia. as we mentioned, have been hostile for years, threatening stability and security in the gulf. the 2011 arab spring, the sole purchased movements in several countries in the middle east. saudi arabia accused iran of inciting, protest in bahrain against the rule family. iran denies the accusation as the civil war and yemen began in 2015. saudi arabia backed the internationally recognized government and targeted who the rebels, strong holes. iran was widely accused of backing the who sees militarily. it said

it provided political support. in 2016, saudi arabia executed a prominent. she anita, who supported defend against the kingdom. i was approved over the move in iran. my protest is burnt parts of the saudi embassy. and in 2019 saudi arabia's state one oil company, aram code, was hit by a who c drone attack. because to half of the kingdoms output of crude oil was impacted, iran denies any involvement. big hours champ, i said to shout university. if things china's involvement in the process, a china treat of both saudi arabia and iran as very important populace. they each have very important histories, civilization and influence in that particular part of the world are throughout the world. and china treat both saudi arabia and iran in their own capacity as an equal, china always refuses to impose its will on any other country,

either or saudi arabia on the one hand are era. on the other hand, we fully respect these 2 countries separately. and we just do want to see that they become normal in their relations rather than adopt antagonistic relations against each other. therefore, china wants to play this good offices as an intermediary, as a gulf between between these 2 countries. and china emphasized the importance of good relations with each other, rather than animosity or confrontation against each other. i think in the world of to day, this message of peace is especially important. and we believe that if countries like saudi arabia, on the one hand, you're on the other hand, can really dedicate themselves to pursuing peace. they will be the biggest, the winners ah,

the u. k. as agreed to pay france more than half a $1000000000.00 over the next 3 years. in effort to reduce the number of asylum seekers crossing the english channel in small boats, announcement was made as part of the 1st summit between the leaders of britain in france in 5 years. it was about to report some paris, a chance to reset ties. the french president warmly welcoming the u. k. prime minister in paris for the 1st franco british summit in 5 years, relations between paris and london have been strained since briggs it, but the war in ukraine's helped improve them by creating a common sense of purpose after their meeting. macaroni soon pledged, continuing support for keith. i took jointly, train ukrainian forces, missouri mammogram and on we are both un security council members bounding members of nato to powers of real shared interest. and we want to work together to build concrete solutions for our future. it was a change of tone from recent years. france and britain have router the issues,

including fishing, whites, cove, it, and a submarine contract. tensions continue to simmer, though over cross channel migration, the u. k. on called for france to do more, to stop the people it says, arriving in person illegally by small boats. frances long said it needs more money to do so. soon as i said, person will now give france more than $570000000.00 over 3 years to help. now we're announcing a new detention center in northern france, a new command center, bringing our enforcement teams together in one place for the 1st time. and an extra $500.00 new officers patrolling french beaches. my course only seems to have a much better working relationship with soon act than he had with former british prime ministers, less stressful. boris johnson. and this summit was very much an opportunity to show that france and britain are very much united, revived. ty is between europe biggest military and only nuclear power sends

a clear message to moscow. but it's also likely to play out well for domestic audience is at a time of social unrest in both countries. in france, i needed u. k. the each leader faced huge domestic issues to see less who toys grew in that context to her kind of diplomat tico successful. soon, next visit to paris that will be followed later this month by britons new king charles, whose chosen france for his 1st overseas trip. another sign that despite some differences, france and britons historic and lions still stands natasha bottler. i'll just 0 paris, police and germany say a gunman who killed 7 people, including an unborn child at her jehovah witnesses hall was a former member of the community, is understood to a shot himself. as officers entered the building in the northern city of hamburg. authority say they had previously received an anonymous tip off raising concerns

a gun license for sports purposes hooks and was in legal possession of a weapon type of heckler and cock p 30. he thought he was the weapon found next to the perpetrator to c. o. official say we had received an anonymous tip off warning . the gun man might have an undiagnosed mental illness, but they say women visited his home. they had no grounds to take. his license questions will now be asked about where the germans condos. me changing to try and cut for some 5 and a half 1000000 weapons held legally in this country. overnight witnesses described a frenzied scene. yeah, no, it's been unwilling to whom i'm a resident up here and i heard loud gunshots. so i went to the window to get an idea of the situation. then i saw that a man was shooting out of the window with a firearm. and obviously there were people being carried out and there were probably $25.00 shots at least that i heard. and after the police got there, there was no gunfire for a long time, but then after 5 minutes or so, there was a single shot as forensic where continued. police said the gunman had fired mind

magazines of ammunition during the rampage. the coincidental presence at the time of highly trained armed officers. nearby jehovah, witness building, they said, had saved many lives. william peacock, al jazeera, hamburg your penny. does it express concern over protests in georgia? the country's parliament is there to describe a controversial bill on so called foreign agents following days of public unrest. opponent say the proposed law was similar to one used by the russian government to crack down on critics. from the smith's reports from tbilisi, whole suggest, 80 percent of george's population wants to join the european union. so in the parliament of his former soviet state passed the law that to its opponents looked very much like one the russian government had used to crack down on critics. tens of thousands of people took to the city. they force the government to bagdad were in shock because we could see that this law was pushing goes like further and

further away from our european future that we all want. we know that centuries ago, russia was involved our in our country. they were hard trying to, ah, may cause their own. and that was my worry that i didn't wanted to experience all those things. my father and my grandfather experienced rushes foreign minister sag. i love rob says these protests were a coup attempt the foreign agents law. these people opposed, ward, according to human rights watch, have put onerous reporting requirements on swathes of civil society groups, including corruption, watchdogs and independent media. representatives of the european union said that have this parliament passed the bill. it would have put an end to george's hopes of joining the block. now the e says it hopes georgia will continue with pro e u reforms. the georgia dreams part. he says, opposition groups misunderstood to the foreign agents law. i think that the

transparencies, the idea that is the base layer of the democracy and the civil society and shorting the public class 1st is something that should not be a problem, but yet again, bearing in mind that this was portrayed in a very bad manner. and very fake manner. we have disney does abandoned this abundantly salad slater. the protesters believe the georgian dreams party is sympathetic to russia. it's found a bit xena, even if she really is a billionaire oligarch who made his fortune in the years after the collapse of the soviet union. there is no evidence to say that the people are directly working with russia, but there is no evidence to suggest that their goals coincide did not russia the one ga to be in. you definitely know any leisure with west for them is bad thing because they are in, in war with west police. they claim to be the russian government to see these improvements we can across the former soviet union. now the kremlin is warning these former satellites of what it says are the dangers of taking
