. thanks . welcome to the program german politicians from across the political spectrum have condemned a far right attempt to storm the parliament building in berlin president from fatah steinmeyer called it an intolerable attack on the heart of our democracy now demonstrators against the government's pandemic policies along with far right groups and science deniers overwhelmed police to rush the entrance of the german parliament the. far right extremists pushed through police lines to the top of the rice talk steps. they shout from a distance. and this interest we are the people.

the black white and red are the colors of the old imperial german rice used now by neo nazis. in front of the rice tar that makes for shocking symbolism. this country it's not acceptable and it cannot be tolerated that some appear with symbols from a terrible dark past flags that have nothing to do with the modern democracy and they show up in front of the blondest building the rice tank building the most important symbol of our democracy the parliament the ball of the democrat who does parliament other demonstrators who filled central berlin on saturday were no longer the center of attention. many remained on sunday though and how the small day after a rally at the brandenburg gate they focused on the corona skeptic message and dismissed the previous day's aggression was he a prosecutor what happened here was chaos and some small groups who wanted to take

advantage of the situation and which we do support the corona demonstration want to have nothing to do with fact almost unnoticed. yet the far right are confident the case in berlin for weekends amid the rainbows and peace flags of other demonstrators and the corona skeptics didn't seem to have a problem with them being there and let's get more with your political correspondent thomas ferro you were at the demonstrations what did you see or there were lots of people from different groups and with different interest yes it is obviously the case that we saw far right extremists there and that those were also the ones who tried to storm the reichstag building which by the way has a very important symbolism in germany it was burned by the nazis in 1983 when they attempted there to get rid of what was left of germany's democracy yet at the same time there were also other people attending this protest and the facts as conspiracy theorists. also families who were there trying to explain that they were

against the government and the way the government was handling the pandemic so i would say a very big mixture of of people that makes it even more difficult for authorities to try to identify who was actually there and to what extent these protests were co-opted by far right extremists that was one of the main concerns that authorities had obviously at the beginning i know the concern that authorities had was the fact that people were not wearing mosques that people were not complying with the social distancing rules and that's why police was forced to dissolve the protests and there were specific clashes also with with protesters around $300.00 people were detained on saturday during those protests in central building so this was a protest which was supposed to be due to public health concerns people protesting the german government's approach to that the far right extremists that were present what was your experience are they being tolerated by the other protests we spoke to some people there and we asked them specifically that because one of the big concerns as i stressed by authorities is to what extent they have been co-opted

these protests by far right interest in what they said is a base of the everyone has a right to express their views and if those views are far right then that's up to them. so that's that just gives you an idea of to what extent this is being tolerated also within these bigger bigger movements i would say obviously that there were far right extremist there far right groups for example in the rights. movement you could also see that in the fact that the flags that they were waving by the same time as i stress there were other groups also in attendance it was a very varied group of people that went to berlin on saturday according to authorities around 38000 people attending those protests and by the way also counter demonstrations on other parts of poland people stressing that they find it terrible that there are protests in berlin where people marched side by side with nazis we're looking right now at some of the clashes on that video that was just laying there that those of those live moments where they actually tried to storm the parliament building the organizers say that. those who were responsible for

that were really the minority was that also your experience if you look at it from a broader perspective you have to say that all those people who were attending those protests are indeed a minority so most people in germany agree with the way the government has been handling the coronavirus endemic there are even a people who want the government to do more to try and control the pandemic so you can clearly say that these people who are attending the protests are a minority and within those people who were attending that protest there were pots who can be described as a neo nazis and far right that's the way authorities have been describing it as well in particular when you look at the images that we saw from there i stuck together you political correspondent thomas farah thank you. let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world tens of thousands of people took to the streets of fellow loose on sunday for another day of protests calling for president alexander lukashenko to resign more than 100 people were arrested the protests began on august 9th after the shingle claimed victory in the

the 1st ever commercial passenger flight from israel to the united arab emirates has taken off from tel aviv airport bound for abu dhabi the historic flight comes after israel and the u.a.e. agreed to normalize relations in a deal brokered by the united states the u.a.e. is the 3rd arab country to establish full diplomatic ties with israel. after many presidents the deal means they can finally bring covert business and personal relationships into the. downloads on your visa and usually days to mark the jewish israeli palestinian businessman from his small office in jerusalem and through travel he has been doing business with the united arab emirates for several years but always under the radar the country's had no diplomatic relations until recently as a 1st step phone lines were officially established but right now my friends it's call

me for the fun of it came out of the wire and the call might go out i just heard the news that we could call it sort of the regular communication. is something we humans are known for civilization requires communication and work together. i really praise that wonderful great vision of this country united arab emirates. who facilitates the certification of highland kosher products between the. is on his i'm cold to the emirates for years people had to use foreign providers or the internet to connect and deliver his very. limited effect. it's easy to say it's actually great just imagine the deal breaks with the long held view among arab countries that normalizing ties would only come after israel and its military occupation of the palestinian territories in israel there have

been a lot of firsts in the past days 1st to read. interviews with and officials say like here a t.v. channel 13 is to live the big polluters were sent immediately to upper darby and israeli news sites very poor until the emirates you know what is amazing normally in those cases it takes time but now everything is on the table relationship embassies flight stories and everything is moving very fast we can phone the emirates we can go there we can ever interviews there only egypt and jordan have signed peace treaties with israel in the past one hopes that this new agreement will go beyond business and security mountainous i suspect that this will be a war more peace than the relationship with jordan there was never about blood there was never wars there was never any misunderstanding or political disagreement direct between us and the united arab emirates or anybody in the gulf for that

reason so i'm really optimistic view our countries have signaled that they might consider following the u.n. this move it could affect a few be shaped in map often line says in the region. and joining me now from jerusalem is either of you are responding tanya kramer so as we heard time you had the 1st commercial flight taking place today who is on board and how is this moment being memoried it. one boat you have 2 delegations one is the israeli delegation headed by the head of the national security and the other delegation is headed by job a. u.s. president advisor because this agreement that still has to be signed at some point was brokered by the u.s. so we understand on this 1st flight it's all about civilian matters they will be talking about tourism maybe diving. and of course it's then in

the details what kind of bilateral agreements day we'll. work on now if you ask me what people are thinking it is well i mean this day has been very much anticipated as we heard in the reporting or it all went very fast it's very exciting for most people because it opens up israel to words that you use and it's of course not the 1st time and it doesn't happen very often that it was signs of peace agreement the last time was in 1994 with jordan now the u.a.e. would be the 3rd arab country only in the 1st gulf nation to normalize ties with israel on the other hand palestinians are very much concerned about this normalization because it actually changes the stands at least the public stands of our country is saying that there shouldn't be no normalization with israel unless israel and its military occupation over the palestinians given all of that time you

know what is this flight connection mean for both countries. well i think the 1st thing to say it's very significant this is and i'll cite as israel its national carrier and from what we understand saudi arabia. reportedly will open its airspace so it can be really a direct flight from tel of the you've to up be docked up with darby that is the 1st time so it has a lot of you know some symbolism in this move and it's sickness also an openness to this agreement now of course it has a lot of interests as well economic interests but also political interests and it's just somehow shows a shift maybe also you know in the alliances a common. enemy so to speak iran israel the gulf states but also of course it's you know. describes the legacy often embattled israeli prime minister
