if. this is news line from story peace deal in the middle east president trump says is rather than the united arab emirates have agreed to a u.s. brokered plan to normalize relations the u.a.e. will recognize the jewish state in which israel dropping its plans to alex parts of the palestinian west bank could live to washington and jerusalem also on the program peaceful defiance in the capital of fellow rose thousands of people around minsk of solidarity in protest of police brutality this is the 5th day of demonstrations following president lukashenko disputed election victory.

i'm phil gayle welcome to the program in the last hour israel and the united arab emirates announced that they have agreed a historic peace deal under its terms the u.s. will recognize israel and establish diplomatic relations in return israel will drop its controversial plan to annex parts of the palestinian west bank the u.s. the u.a.e. says the deal is a win for diplomacy in the middle east the agreement was brokered by the united states just a few moments ago it was at a very special call with 2 friends prime minister benjamin netanyahu of israel and crown prince mohammed bin. the united arab emirates where they agreed to file an historical peace agreement. everybody said it would be impossible. and as you know mohamed is one of. the great leaders of the middle east into 49 years did

you in the united arab emirates will fully normal diplomatic relations they will exchange embassies and ambassadors and begin cooperation across the board and order a broad range of areas including tourism education health care trade and security. straight to washington where we joined the w.c. bureau chief in this poll welcome interest or more can you tell us about this deal . well let me quote president trump himself he said things are happening that i can't talk about but they are amazing and then he also joked during this press conference in the oval office that he once this peace deal to be named after him so we do not know a lot at this point we know that the 2 parties are meant to weaken a couple of weeks in the white house but we do not know what is going to happen

with jerusalem what exactly will happen in the west bank as well ok so lots of unknowns in me despite but this does look like a significant foreign policy success for the president with an election in sight. almost definitely i mean if this really would come together before the election this would be very very important for president trump because until now he doesn't have any major international success and we know the election day is a little bit more than 80 days away and his competitor biden is leading with double digits and he just announced his running mate yesterday camel the hair is and we feel some energy in this country so i think it is fair to say that this moment of announcement is anything else but a coincidence in this poll in washington thank you. to jerusalem where we

joined. crime and welcome what does this deal mean for the region. and i think it's a major major news development here tonight and we already heard from the israeli prime minister you put out a tweet to expecting him also to speak shortly he has a historic day. it's a major foreign policy achievement for the embattled israeli prime minister it would be if all comes together only the 3rd arab country and the 1st state actually that israel would have. diplomatic relations we still have to wait to official reactions from the palestinians i what do you think about are likely to say. well i think it's quite interesting that there has been a tweet shortly after this joint statement from the. crown prince of the

united arab emirates and he actually emphasized that. this deal would suspend the annexation of parts of the occupied west bank and that is a kind of message you could say to the palestinians because for the palestinians it will be very difficult to see that an arab nation will. start diplomatic relations if it comes to that as long as the conflict is not being solved. thank you for the time you're cramming in jerusalem. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world will start in lebanon where parliament has approved a 2 week state of emergency for bay roots and its 1st meeting after august the 4th catastrophic explosion that grants the military broad powers like a prohibiting the gatherings and declaring curfews protesters and rights groups

justice. that was videos like this one that i got so many appearing to show protesters being beaten up in detention centers. under pressure president alexander lukashenko penned the unrest on a disgruntled unemployed rump. to see it would be a mirror of what everyone who is unemployed currently has to be looked after they have to be offered a job that's moved here it's the core of these so-called protesters are people with a criminal past on those who are unemployed that all. these factory workers suggest otherwise definitely are good to the left who say you should all stand up if you voted for t. cannot sky the opposition leader a man shouts the room rises as one. elsewhere

signs that trust in the system is running out. all markers help this man in orange escape the clutches of police. outsiders are paying attention to the u.s. are sworn sanctions are on the table what people bellerose to have the freedoms that they're demanding that they think are in their best interests. we watch the protests we we urge that these that the non violent protesters be protected not armed. back on the streets the protests were more subdued on wednesday night. go only they chanted no signs yet that this uprising has run its course. straight to minsk then where we join journalist to honolulu baco welcome to t.w. at that start with the president's claim that protesters on the streets are

criminals and unemployed you've been at day so protester what did you see. well these are people from all walks of life basically this is you these are the elderly the so women. and men and they say medical workers they cite a professional they say they're professionals this is middle class so basically every social group is currently protesting and every social group is outraged by the brutal response from from the police and well it's very hard to find anyone who would not protest actually there are signs that parts of the alice i mean now. that state television are. using to work anymore so they they leave their channels this pro-government stations also really have immense. and large numbers of. clients across the country that stop

working then they announce that they would go on strike as well so this is a popular uprising rather and. the pictures that we've been seeing of these these people are wiping flowers and lining up it all looks very peaceful so how does the violence subsided. or human from this side of the police or yes. well i mean my hands well yesterday or there was kind of a more quiet day i'd say but at the same time police where brutally this person people in some means neighborhood but also outside me so i wouldn't say that they just you know they stop the environment not at all it's just the amount of information that appears in and of and when the internet came back out great people so much that they kind of something so also there's a lot of people prominent public figures who demanded violence to be stopped and

also it's very hard to live on and against women you know hundreds and thousands of women who are protesting cross the country and there are sometimes you know children lonesome go up to the streets and i guess that's why there is less violence in the moment but nevertheless there are numerous reports across the country that rightfully specially in the forces patrol just beat people on street random citizens on a personal note how difficult is it to be a journalist in bed to roost in this climate. oh it is very hard the program is that nothing can protect he is a journalist atheist they like if you are separated from the crowd and if you read some ideas that i did to cation signs you will not be treated as a drone that he will be even targeted intentionally because they see you alone for cement and police and pushing the forces can fire and actually cases when they
